Centre squeezed Casey council has moth-balled a family and community centre in Autumn Place, Doveton, in response to the rejection of its proposed 3.47 per cent rate rise for 2016-17.

The $3.4 million project to replace outdated 40-year-plus child and maternity health centre and pre-school buildings with a modern one-stop shop is badly needed, say councillors Damien Rosario and Wayne Smith.

The councillors said the long-awaited project, which is planned to start in 2017-18 and finish the following financial year, was now facing, at best, further delays.

“It’s not in the budget for the future,” Cr Smith said.

“It’s disappointing. You’re talking about the most disadvantaged community in the city.”

Cr Rosario said a new wave of demand was created by young families, many new arrivals to Australia, settling in the area.

“Doveton is a growing young community.

Doveton is one of the first places they come to.”

On 31 May, the Essential Services Commission rejected Casey’s application to raise rates above the 2.5 per cent rate cap in part due to the council’s strong finances - including a $33.9 million underlying surplus in 2016-17.

a household on top of the 2.5 per cent rate rise would have raised an extra $1.6 million in 2016-17.

The ESC noted Casey had “historically” underspent on its capital works budget - saving on average $14 million a year over the past five years.

It also factored in the $2.5 million allocated to the council from the state’s Interface Growth Fund.

Cr Smith said the council was “flush with funds” but they could not be tapped for the Autumn Place development.

The funds, raised by developer contributions, were earmarked for new estates’ infrastructure such as roads and facilities.

“The older areas like Doveton, Hallam and Hampton Park don’t have access to those sort of

reserves.”

Since the ESC decision, the council has also dropped plans for a Hunt Club Football and Cricket Recreation Facility, Cranbourne East from its $149 million capital works program.

Mayor Sam Aziz said the ESC decision was an “unacceptable act of economic vandalism” that didn’t consider Casey’s continued growth.

Brendan Browne of the Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association said talk of an infrastructure black hole was “just scaremongering”.

“The commission found that there are options available to the council to ensure these projects (such as the Autumn Place facility) proceed.”

Cap fits despite appeal

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH The City of Casey’s rate rise will now be capped at 2.5 per cent - but is that common sense or is it economic vandalism?

Those are the respective arguments put forward by the Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association (CRRA) and Casey Mayor Sam Aziz in the wake of the rate capping announcement.

The Essential Services Commission (ESC) decision on Tuesday 31 May to block the City of Casey’s rate rise application enraged the mayor who labelled it as an “infrastructure black hole”.

Casey council applied for a higher cap of 3.47 per cent, 0.97 per cent higher than the set cap for 2016-’17.

The ESC denied the council’s submission on the grounds of its strong budget position.

If approved, homeowners would have paid on average $53 more a year in rates and waste charges.

Cr Aziz said the decision would contribute to a $168 million funding shortfall over the next 10 years.

Local resident and member of the CRRA Brendan Browne welcomed the ESC’s rejection.

“The ESC was very clear that Casey council would be able to meet all its duties and even pay for its capital works program in 2016-’17 without the additional rate increase,” he said.

A ESC statement announcing the decision said: “The commission found Casey’s overall budget position to be strong with various options available to proceed with the two projects it identified, without requiring a higher rate cap in 2016-’17.

“There is flexibility in Casey’s large capital works program and it has been granted additional funding of $2.5 million as part of the Interface Growth Fund.

“This frees up funds equivalent to $2.5 million

which could be used to fund other capital projects, possibly including those made the subject of the higher cap application.

“In addition, Casey has historically underspent its capital budget by an average of $14 million per year.”

Mr Browne, a long-term campaigner against a rate rise, said key projects can still go ahead.

“Any suggestion that Casey council can’t go ahead with particular projects, such as The Hunt Club Football and Recreation Facility or The Autumn Place Family and Community Centre, is in direct contradiction to the findings of the ESC. Cr Sam Aziz fired back at the ESC after the announcement, labelling the decision “economic vandalism”.

“This is short-term petty politics that will lead to long-term harm for the residents of the City of Casey,” Cr Aziz said.

Cars trashed in ‘Apex’ spree

Kambrya College's principal team Nalini Naidu, Michael Muscat, Keith Perry and Joanne Wastle. before settling on Kambrya.

“According to what they say they were looking for an average suburban high school that was doing some above average work,” he said.

Kambrya was chosen for its drastic improvement in student achievement over the past six years.

“In 2008 we were rock bottom, one of the lowest performing schools in Victoria and now we’re consistently in the top 20 highest performing

schools,” Mr Muscat said.

The school used the University of Melbourne’s Network of Schools as a template for its success.

“They’ve done a lot of research into the teaching strategies that are most effective instead of wasting your time on the teaching strategies that have low impact,” Mr Muscat said.

“We’re finding that it’s having really good traction in our school,” he said.

1202687-PB45-15

On its premiere, the nation watched on as a 13-year-old got caught with marijuana at school, as a teenage girl threatened to strike a teacher ... and the crushing pressures accelerated learning programs can have on students.

But it’s all real life, Kambrya College principal Michael Muscat said.

The show Revolution School struck a chord with viewers, students and teachers alike on ABC TV at the premiere of what will be a four part series on Tuesday 31 May. Tweets read: Mary-Anne Thomas MP: It’s been a long while since I taught but loved the warts and all authenticity of #RevolutionSchool. Congrats to all at Kambrya College.

Preston Towers: What gets me about #RevolutionSchool is that they are trying to get these kids to learn about boring nonsense like the gold rush.

Joe Hildebrand: #RevolutionSchool is amazing but the chasm between the language of the teachers and the students might as well have subtitles.

Gorgi Coghlan: #RevolutionSchool showing the challenging role teachers have in trying to maximise learning, whilst dealing with serious student issues.

CJZ Productions filmed daily at the Berwick school throughout 2015 and Mr Muscat said the whole school community had a spring in its step following the premiere.

“We are happy with the feedback which has been that the episode shows it the way it really is,” Mr Muscat said.

“It showed how much teachers care and how complex and intense the work of teachers is and it’s great for the community to see.”

In response to the 13-year-old in possession of marijuana at school who he had taken under his wing, Mr Muscat said: “It’s just a reality.”

“It was the first incidence of drugs at our school in five years and we thought ‘oh great’ but it shows schools are a reflection of the community they serve and that’s a reality.”

Mr Muscat, who has been head principal at the school for eight years, said the school’s growth in education standards would be highlighted most strongly in the fourth episode.

Mr Muscat said CJZ Productions had researched hundreds of schools around Australia

Vandals on a 12-car wrecking spree smashed their windscreens and carved ‘Apex’ into their panels in Hallam and Narre Warren.

Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Ivan Bobetic told a media briefing at Dandenong Police Station on Thursday 2 June that the incidents occurred in the early hours of that morning.

“It appears that there’s been a spate of car break-ins and damage to cars in the Hallam and Narre Warren North area,” he said.

“They’ve jumped on cars, smashed windscreens and windows, and entered a couple of the cars.”

Act Sen Sgt Bobetic said the vandals had also scratched and defaced car panels with the word Apex, although it’s unknown if members of the notorious car-stealing gang were actually involved.

“It’s certainly an inquiry that we’ll be making however it would appear that this sort of offending isn’t of the same magnitude or modus operandi, if you like, that we are uncovering in his particular area,” he said.

Star News also believes a car was vandalised in Charles Green Drive, Endeavour Hills, the same morning.

Information should be given to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Looking Back 100 years ago, 1 June 1916 Keysborough Empire Day was celebrated at the Keysborough State School.

During the morning hours the children read patriotic and war stories and sang several inspiring airs.

After the play hour, the members of the school committee made their appearance and were entertained by further contributions of patriotic songs, after which the president of the committee (Mr R G Keys) gave a very interesting address suitable to the occasion.

At the conclusion of the address the teacher, Miss Fenton (relieving), marched the children to the flag for the purpose of saluting it.

This done, the National Anthem was sung and so ended the first half of the day.

The thoughts surrounding the second half

doubtless had more than equal charm in the youthful minds, owing to their knowledge of the good things which have been provided through the liberality of Dandenong Shire Council in donating £2 so that a treat could be given.

It meant to them sandwiches, cakes and tarts, fruit and lollies, together with ample toys as awards for their athletic contests.

A nice gathering of parents and friends of the children assembled during the afternoon and enjoyed witnessing the display of their happy spirits, and irresistibly indulged with them in participation of the refreshments.

Altogether a most pleasant time was spent.

50 years ago, 2 June 1966 Chaos Corner ‘Overpass’ Construction of an overpass and underpass

system at the intersection of Springvale Road and Princes Highway would be the only fully effective method of eliminating the high accident rate at the intersection, the Mayor of Springvale, Cr Ken Marriott said yesterday.

Because of its alarmingly high record of accidents many of them serious, the intersection has become known as “Chaos Corner”.

20 years ago, 3 June 1996 St Kilda co-captain Nathan Burke thrills potential AFL stars at Dandenong High School with an inspirational talk.

AFL star Nathan Burke met one of his predecessors at St Kilda last week when Dandenong High School celebrated 100 years

of footy. School PE manager and former St Kilda rover Kevin Lynch said he was pleased to meet up with “young Nathan” and said the students were inspired by his tips.

News family was Swords of truth What’s In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city’s bestknown street names. This week the Journal looks at Swords Street in central Dandenong, named in honour of the Swords family.

Journalist James Walter Swords and his wife Mary moved to Australia from England as newlyweds in 1839.

James started Victoria’s first provincial newspaper, the Portland Guardian, in August 1842.

He left for the Melbourne’s Argus, made it big and went bust in land and building speculating, farmed on the Werribee River, started the Wahgunyah Watchman in Rutherglen, and established the Bacchus Marsh Guardian at Ballan.

“Acting on the advice of an old friend, Mr Swords loaded his cases of type and printing press onto a wagon and headed for Dandenong at the end of 1873,” grandson James ‘Jim’ Walter Swords penned in a family history.

“Early in 1874 the first issue of the Dandenong Advertiser was printed ... at the corner of Lons-

dale and Walker streets.”

James later bought a large block at the corner of Walker and Thomas streets and erected a printing plant.

Mary and James were living in Frankston when he died in 1879.

She returned to Dandenong and bought a 67acre property she named Bushy Park at Princes Highway and Gladstone and Heatherton roads.

She later bought a brick villa in Hutton Street where she lived until her death at age 93 in 1914.

Their son Fred - one of 13 children - did most of the reporting after James’ death and “used to spend many long hours in the saddle to attend shire council meetings”.

He married Joan, and their eldest son Jim joined the Advertiser staff at age 16 to learn the trade.

At age 19 he went to Morwell to help produce the Morwell Gazette.

He returned to the Advertiser after serving in WWI - and was a Dandenong RSL foundation member - and became the editor in 1923 when

WHAT’S IN A

NAME his father died, a position he held until the paper ceased to operate in 1959.

He died in 1973, the last of a long line of Swords journalists dating back over a century.

Fred’s brother Henry was “a keen swimmer and saved many lives from the local creek” and was heavily involved in the paper.

Edwin ‘Ted’ was mainly responsible for creating the Scout Hall on the Princes Highway, known today as The Castle.

He worked at the Advertiser and with Henry took over the Advertiser Printery.

It was mainly through the efforts of James and Mary’s youngest son Robert that the Dandenong and District Hospital was established.

A Narre Warren North-based fruit producer is pitching for a $10 million grant to open export markets and create a tourist attraction.

Montague Fresh put its case for support for its $45 million initiative to Trade and Investment Minister Steven Ciobo and La Trobe MP Jason Wood who toured its 80-hectare orchards and factory on 31 May. The vision would potentially add 100 jobs to Monatague’s 300-full time equivalent workforce.

Retail and export general manager Scott Montague said the 68-year-old business hoped to expand its exports from 5 per cent of sales to 30 per cent in response to an increasingly saturated domestic market.

Its export drive was particularly targeting markets in South East Asia, China and the UK and had already been helped by recent free trade agreements.

“The future is in exporting,” Mr Montague said.

“We’re not going to get much of a lift in consumption in Australia.”

Montague is celebrating 10 years of its hybrid Jazz apple with further varieties such as the “sweetest of the sweet” Envy apple to be launched shortly.

As part of the plan, the company will create a larger distribution centre and packing house which would have more stringent international food standards.

The distribution centre would include harvests from other growers, providing a more efficient supply chain to domestic and overseas markets, Mr Montague said.

On the tourism side, the planned customer engagement centre would provide an education on fruit-growing.

“These days the links between urban and rural Australia are only getting wider,” Mr Montague said.

“When you bring kids through now you see the buzz that they get.”

Mr Wood said the Government would look at how to help Montague get its project off the ground - through removing possible trade barriers and grants.

A DOVETON man, 36, who pleaded guilty to twice driving under the influence - while speeding up to 147km/h in a police pursuit and running red lights - has been jailed for up to 12 months.

A drunken Michael Thomas Wilson caused other drivers to brake to avoid him as he ran a red light at the corner of Heatherton and Westall roads, Springvale, in May 2014, a court was told.

His car reached up to 147km/h in a 70km/h zone as police gave up their light-and-sirens pursuit due to his dangerous driving.

In trying to overtake a truck, Wilson collided with a Mazda in the left lane of Heatherton Road, crashed into a farm fence and a mound of dirt.

Police had to smash the car window to stop Wilson trying to drive off, the court was told.

That night, Wilson recorded a blood-alcohol reading of 0.143.

At the time, Wilson was disqualified for two years for drink-driving, police prosecutor Senior Constable Ryan Johnson told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 30 May. A month after the crash, he ran two red righthand arrows in Langwarrin, hit a truck and sped up to 100km/h on Cranbourne-Frankston Road in Langwarrin, the court heard.

Wilson then pulled over with damage to his unregistered car’s front bonnet on Western Port Highway, Skye.

Police observed he was glassy-eyed, swaying “side-to-side” on his feet, couldn’t answer questions and his emotions were changeable. He refused a breath test.

Wilson also faced a charge of stealing two bottles of vodka from a liquor store, as well as pawning off a phone stolen from a Kew chiropractor’s clinic for $100.

On 2 May this year, Wilson and his partner were found by police inside abandoned premises

in Fifth Avenue, Dandenong.

An “aggressive” Wilson refused to provide ID and went into a fighting stance, police alleged.

He was sprayed with OC spray, which had no effect on subduing him. Wilson swung around a children’s bicycle at a police officer, telling him “come on c***, let’s go”.

During the incident, Wilson punched an officer in the eye and struck another in the mouth with the bike.

He was chased down the street and beaten with a baton to little effect until further back-up units managed to handcuff him.

The Fijian-born Wilson had been heavily using ice since separating from his wife and children 18 months ago, his lawyer Siva Kandasamy told the court.

The accused had drunk heavily since he was 16, Mr Kandasamy said.

Wilson had been a “responsible man” in the past - a keen volunteer at Cornerstone church, street soccer and Rescue Australia, as well as helping indigenous Australians.

“He just made a wrong decision with alcohol and drugs,” the lawyer said.

Mr Kandasamy called for a short jail term given that Wilson had previously breached two community corrections orders for traffic and drinkdriving offences.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said it was “unbelievable” no one was killed or seriously injured during the driving incidents.

“You probably don’t have much recollection of it,” Mr Vandersteen told Wilson.

The magistrate said Wilson should not drive until he addressed the underlying causes of his offending.

Wilson was jailed for 12 months, with a nonparole period of five months. The term included 29 days already served in remand.

Wilson was also disqualified from driving for four years and fined $1000.

The de-clutter message is clear

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS As Peter Donnelly-Willis’s home became consumed by all sorts of ‘junk’ he didn’t want, he knew he had an issue with hoarding.

But the light really came on when he realised why he had been doing it.

“I’m getting control of my life again,” Mr Donnelly-Willis said.

Mr Donnelly-Willis’s revelation happened during a Buried in Treasures 20-week course at EACH in Narre Warren.

The group workshop helps people to de-clutter and manage their hoarding disorder - a behaviour formally recognised as a mental illness.

There were a heap of issues hidden beneath the piles of unwanted items. The unresolved grief after his mother’s death, being abused and hungry as a child had all been pushed down in his memory, he said.

“When Mum died I didn’t feel as strong. I was buying things like a protective wall.

“I realised they were all types of things that I didn’t even like, but what Mum liked.”

The disorder proved isolating for Mr Donnelly-Willis over the next 18 years.

He was tripping over things on the floor, collecting shirts that weren’t his size, keeping hundreds of beer bottles, piles of books he wouldn’t read and authors he wouldn’t care about.

His home was so congested he’d stand on a stool to reach a kitchen cupboard over the mounting stuff.

He started collecting clean-up notices from his local council and stopped inviting guests to his cluttered home out of shame.

What made matters worse for Mr DonnellyWillis was the temptation of working in an opp shop. He’d often save items from being thrown out and take them home.

Thanks to the EACH group, Mr DonnellyWillis proudly said he can walk into a shop without buying things. He’s challenged his acquisition impulse, he said.

The group’s co-ordinator Kim Gear said hoarders could be “stigmatised” for their behaviour but the group aimed to look at what lies beneath.

Peter Donnelly-Willis has welcomed a simpler, decluttered life. 154976 Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS “These behaviours are usually preceded by trauma, sometimes from a significant time ago.”

Creative people often fall prey, attracted to the “potential” of collecting things, she said. Many felt anxious walking into a shop without buying something.

The group participants find mutual support with others. They are challenged to go in a shop

armed with a cheat-sheet and be conscious of their anxiety levels.

When tempted to buy an item, they run their eye over a check-list of questions such as ‘Do I already have one’ and ‘Can I afford to buy it?’.

For Mr Donnelly-Willis, the result has been life-changing.

“I’m nearly ready to get visitors - there’s a bit of

space opening up inside.

“I’m starting to fill up my recycle bins.”

The course is open to residents in Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia.

The next group starts on Thursday 14 July at 1-3pm at EACH, 5/66 Victor Crescent, Narre Warren. Details from 8781 9500.

Stepping up for a tip makeover

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Volunteers Margaret Ruse and Glenys Jones showcase the eclectic range of items at Berwick Opportunity Shop.

154672_13 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

It's a multi-million dollar op shop

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Belying the shelves of humble knick-knacks and racks of pre-loved clothes, the Berwick Opportunity Shop is a charity cash-raising powerhouse.

In its 50-year history, the volunteer-run shop has shelled out millions of dollars to scores of community groups.

Last year, the shop gave generously across 50 groups in Melbourne’s south-east, including to 20 fire brigades, three SES branches, disability groups, a hospital, a wildlife shelter, medical research institutes and a soup kitchen.

Ahead of the golden anniversary, president Margaret Ruse said she couldn’t publicly disclose the total donations for last year but “I can tell you it is a generous amount”.

She said the good-quality, well-priced stock moves quickly off the shelves and includes even unusual items such as hats made from birds.

“It’s the great people who support us the way they do which enables us to make generous donations.

“We work hard and all the money raised goes out to the community.

“The shop motto ‘From our community, to our community’ seems to accurately describe its purpose.”

Its 55 dedicated volunteers made the shop a great place to work, Ms Ruse said.

The shop had grown to be a “valued and notable” part of Berwick - despite its near-closure in the 1980s.

High rent and parking fees at the time were eroding any potential community dividends.

The shop thrived after it built its current premises on council land in Clyde Road in 1989.

The project was then supported by a bank loan, council grant and a donation from Lions Club of Berwick.

The shop was started in High Street - in the building occupied now by ANZ Bank - by George Rae and Bill Hudson in 1966 to help under-privileged people in the region and raise money to build senior citizens club rooms.

Casey council has unveiled plans to elevate a disused Narre Warren North tip into a $1 million tourist attraction inspired by the 1000 Steps.

In its draft 2016-17 budget, the council allocated $50,000 for planning the bland Kurll Park’s transformation, including extensive landscaping and viewing platforms.

Councillor Rafal Kaplon said the ‘1001 Steps’ project would be a unique take on the Dandenongs’ famous gut-busting track.

For one thing, it wouldn’t be as steep so it will be more accessible though the platforms would “make the most of the natural elevation”, he said.

He said it would require a lot of landscape works to beautify the former landfill.

It was also hoped the visitors’ passive surveillance will deter an entrenched four-wheel-drive hooning problem on the reserve.

“At the moment it’s not a real park. It’s basically empty fields,” Cr Kaplon said.

The project was expected to be fully funded in the 2017-18 financial year, he said.

Cr Rosalie Crestani said the park could be potentially renamed to Bayview Park - in recognition of the former Bayview quarry on the site.

The project was hoped to become a scenic and

recreational magnet, attracting visitors and tourists from far and wide to a “breathtaking” view.

Down the track, she hopes a private cafe operator may move onto the site.

Cr Crestani expected the plans to be well received during community consultation.

“It’s introducing something that Casey hasn’t had before,” Cr Crestani said.

She noted the Casey project would include 1001 actual steps.

“I think the 1000 Steps is only actually 700,” she said.

Other Four Oaks Ward draft-budget projects include about $150,000 for planning stage two for the Endeavour Hills town centre precinct at Raymond MacMahon Boulevard.

The stage will include a skate park, landscaping and accessible terracing of the area’s steep terrain and opening up access to the YMCA leisure centre and library.

The council also allocated $1 million to road resealing in the ward, $906,000 for a tennis pavilion and other upgrades at Sydney Parkinson Reserve, and $600,000 other sports upgrades at Syd Pargeter Reserve.

Oatlands Children’s Centre, Hartley Ridge Kindergarten and Maramba kindergartens will share $680,000 in upgrades.

Crestani rises up to a Senate seat Councillor Rosalie Crestani will run for the Rise Up Australia Party in Senate elections on 2 July on a platform of limiting Muslim immigration.

“The more you let through, the more chance you get that a small number of Muslims that want to blow everyone up enter the country,” Cr Crestani said.

She said “nine of 10 Australians” supported Rise Up Australia policies, such as limiting Halal

food and sharia law and financing.

Calling a double-dissolution election - which spills all 12 Victorian Senate seats - may make her party’s task easier, she said.

Cr Crestani will be number two on the party ticket behind leader Daniel Nalliah of Catch the Fire Ministries.

Appeal looks to better lives Windermere has launched its Inspire a Better Life tax appeal to help victims of domestic violence.

The appeal focuses on the alarming increase in the number of reported cases of family violence and how, with the support of Windermere’s services, lives can be changed for the better, free of fear and free of violence.

This year’s appeal features Adele, heavily pregnant, her children and her mother, who arrived at Windermere one Thursday morning with nothing.

Adele had already taken the first step and found alternative housing for her and her family due to her ex-partner’s escalating violence toward all of them accompanied by death threats. Unfortunately he found out where they were living and that one of the children had been speaking with a school counsellor. He repeatedly broke into their new home and finally threatened to kill his eldest child if they ever went to school again.

Windermere was able to provide secure, untraceable accommodation and the support Adele needed to attend to the immediate needs of her family.

Windermere CEO Dr Lynette Buoy said Adele’s story was not an isolated one.

“We’ve chosen to highlight Adele’s story this year as an act of family violence is committed almost every two and half hours in Casey, Cardinia, Latrobe and Baw Baw shires and at least one third of these incidences will be witnessed by a child,“ she said.

“By making a tax deductible gift we can help more families realise their dream of living a life without fear.“ Donations can be made online at www. windermere.org.au or by calling 9705 3200.

The shapes of suburbia

By CASEY NEILL Embroidery capturing tiny aspects of architecture will appear on Greater Dandenong streets during Cultural Threads.

Artist Sayra Lothian said that Greater Dandenong Patterns emerged from strolling around suburbia.

“I’d been learning how to quilt and it struck me just how similar brick patterns and fence patterns and gate patterns were to quilt blocks,” she said.

“I really wanted to reinterpret them into craft.

“I’m finding architectural fragments around Dandenong itself - wrought-iron gates or stained glass windows - those architectural moments that give a house or a building character.

“I’m taking those tiny bits and embroidering them and then I’ll be framing those in little frames and leaving them around Dandenong for people to find and take home.”

Ms Lothian wants the pieces to make their finders’ days “a bit brighter and just the world a nicer place”.

“I use craft to make tiny, temporary works of art on the street for people to find and take. It’s called guerrilla kindness,” she said.

She urged people to send in photos of the architectural fragments they encountered.

“What we’ll be doing is printing a number of them and putting them up as well,” she said.

“There’ll be an exhibition of the interesting bits of Dandenong.

“I’ll be embroidering some of the contributions and I’ll also be walking around Springvale, Dandenong and Noble Park to find my own pieces to embroider.”

She also plans to create a ‘hero piece’ that will be on display.

The month-long Cultural Threads will build on its 2014 incarnation and celebrate textile art and cultural diversity.

The City of Greater Dandenong-hosted event will feature knitting, crocheting, dyeing, weaving,

Sayra Lothian. 154708 needlepoint, yarn art and more.

People of all ages and backgrounds will be guided by some of Australia’s most celebrated artists to forge connections, trade skills, share stories and interweave cultures.

There’ll be activities at multiple venues including Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre, Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens, The Drum Theatre, the Dandenong and Springvale libraries and Harmony Square.

“I’ve done Cultural Threads before,” Ms Lothian said.

“They did a workshop at the Australia Day festival two years ago and they were wishing ribbons.

“People wrote wishes for the coming year.

They were attached to a giant maypole.

“The council asked if I could do something

with those ribbons to extend the life of the project.

“I made them to hang around the light poles of the new council offices. They were ribbon wishcatchers.”

She said the council kept the ribbons when the artworks came down and another artist would use them in a new Cultural Threads project.

“They’re doing some kind of yarn bombing,” she said.

“I love the idea that the wishes of the people of Dandenong are continuing to be used, so they’re continuing to be honoured. Just to throw them out seems wrong.”

Cultural Threads is a satellite event of Craft Victoria’s Craft Cubed Festival.

It’s none of our business but…

Nathalie Nicole was chosen to represent Australia in the Ms Universal International pageant in the US this July.

Proud to be Ms

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH This Hampton Park single mum is a Ms and proud of it.

Nathalie Nicole is off to Reno, Nevada, USA, to compete in this year’s Ms Universal International pageant.

Chosen as the Australian delegate, it will be Nathalie’s first opportunity to represent Oz on the world stage.

“This is Australia’s first chance ever at this title, this trip is already pageant history in the making,” Nathalie said.

And if the 34-year-old takes home the glittering gold, she will be bringing the pageant down under.

“There is no directorship for the Ms Universal International pageant in Australia, that’s one of the reasons why I want to get as much awareness about the pageant as possible,” she said.

“Just because you are not married or are divorced with children shouldn’t mean you miss out

on the same opportunities that other women get.”

The pageant is aimed at women over the age of 25, and Nathalie, who recently graduated with a degree in criminology, said it was a pageant with a difference.

“It’s not just about how you look, it’s about donating your time whether you help out a charity or organisation or raise awareness for a particular cause,” she said adding that her chosen charity is JDRF Australia (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) after a friend’s child was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

“It’s specifically for single mums or divorced women because we don’t get the same opportunities in pageants which are titled Miss or Mrs.” Flying the flag for Australian single mums and divorced women, Nathalie will compete against 70 other Ms contestants from around the world in July.

“I want to bring the pageant to Australia to give other mums the opportunity to get on stage and talk about who they are and what they believe in.”

Keysborough College staff and students have a bite to eat to support the Cancer Council.

Keysborough College students and teachers ate their way to a $230 Cancer Council donation.

The school hosted its second annual Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event at its Banksia Campus on Tuesday 24 May. Teacher Tony Evans said about 40 people attended.

AFL legend Chris Judd will be the guest speaker at this year’s Grand Final Charity Lunch.

The Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce event will be held at Sandhurst Golf Club on Wednesday 28 September.

It has raised more than $70,000 for charity in the past 10 years and will again partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

‘You win some, you lose some’ is often bandied about in politics, but it’s not generally applied to candidates.

Isaacs has lost a candidate in the Sex Party’s Martin Leahy.

After contacting the Journal to advise he was putting his hand up for the seat ahead of the 2 July election, he got back in touch with: “I have just been informed this afternoon that I will now be standing in La Trobe

instead of Isaacs.”

“There’s no need to speed. Leave the phone alone. Arrive alive.”

They’re not new messages, but Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Scott Roberts thinks they’re worth repeating in an effort to tackle the rising road toll.

“I would ask people to consider that you’re sharing the road with friends and family and would you behave in the manner that some of these people do if you knew it was friends and family around you?” he said.

“Take a deep breath and obey the road rules, basically.”

Dandenong teachers were among hundreds from across Victoria who have been applauded for their long-serving dedication to students and families.

On Thursday 26 May the Recognition of Service to Victorian Education awards went to John Mooney from Emerson School for 50 years of service and to Dandenong West Primary School’s Elaine Cook, Emerson School’s Jennifer La’Brooy and George De George from Lyndale Secondary College for 40 years in teaching.

Regina Rayan and Sri Samy show their support for refugees and asylum seekers. 154709 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Welcome vote A warm welcome for refugees and asylum seekers starts with a hashtag.

Dandenong-based Friends of Refugees (FOR) is launching #IAMWITHYOU to coincide with World Refugee Day on 20 June.

It aims to recruit the Australians willing to say “no” to government policy-makers “intent on dividing society over this issue in order to win elections”.

“The latest attack upon asylum-seekers and refugees by the Immigration Minister explains why we need to band together and show him Australians do not condone this callous attitude to vulnerable people,” a FOR spokesperson said.

“Australia is a tolerant, humane country that has welcomed refugees in their thousands - and cherished their massive contribution to society since World War II. “Yet we are constantly hearing otherwise from our policy-makers.

“They sow fear and division, especially at elec-

tion time, in the belief it will win votes. “#IAMWITHYOU is our answer to those who would paint us as intolerant and inhumane and further degrade our international reputation.

“It’s our way of letting the world know we welcome asylum-seekers and refugees to what our national anthem describes as ‘our land of boundless plains’ for those ‘who’ve come across the sea’.”

FOR runs programs for refugees and provides material aid for new arrivals.

The group formed in early 2013 as a practical response to the diverse and changing needs of Victoria’s refugees and asylum seekers.

It operates primarily in Greater Dandenong and Casey, where 40 per cent of asylum seekers on bridging visas live.

FOR runs on volunteers and donations and has helped more than 3000 people over the past three years.

Mum pushes for a cure

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS For 13 years, devoted Berwick mother Deb Bayley has campaigned for a cure for type one diabetes.

Ms Bayley embarked on her fundraising efforts soon after her son Ryan was diagnosed with the illness as a two-year-old.

In her latest project, she persuaded five Coles supermarkets in Casey to join the cause by offering $2 Cards for a Cure for sale.

Ms Bayley has also lauded a Coalition federal election pledge for $54 million towards subsidising continuous glucose monitoring technology for people under 21 with type one diabetes.

She said she’d like the pledge extended to all type one patients.

“It’s a shame because there are many adults who have type one diabetes,” she said.

“It’s a life issue until we find a cure.”

The technology helps avert catastrophes such as when children’s blood-sugar drops in their sleep.

Such cases can lead to the child collapsing in a coma, sometimes fatally.

The non-intrusive technology would replace the stress of finger-prick testing multiple times a day - including waking children in the middle of the night - to monitor low blood-sugar levels.

It’s a situation that is potentially dangerous and stressful to manage said Ryan who doesn’t currently use the technology but has an insulin pump.

“It’s something I’m thinking about all the time.

“The technology will be really helpful in the way we can manage our condition.”

The program would help an estimated 4000 patients and save their families about $4000 on average, according to the Coalition.

La Trobe MP Jason Wood said the “fantastic commitment” would make a big difference to affected families.

He said more such medical breakthroughs would be made due to the government’s medical research trust fund.

Ms Bayley said awareness had come a long way in the past 13 years but there was still common confusion between type one and type two diabetes.

Uni's evolution bid grows legs

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Deb Bayley and Ryan with the Cards for a Cure. 154743 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Type one isn’t caused by diet but is, in fact, an auto-immune disease that attacks a person’s ability to produce insulin.

Ms Bayley said she fights on to make things easier for Ryan and the eight children in Australia who are diagnosed with the disease each day.

There are more than 122,000 type one patients in Australia.

She also acts as a peer support mentor for other families that are battling through the early days of diagnosis.

For Ryan, it’s a ray of hope.

“I feel we’re really close to a cure,” he said.

The Cards for a Cure was on sale at Coles supermarkets in Eden Rise, Berwick Southside, Casey Central, Fountain Gate and Springhill until 5 June.

“What I value most about the teams’ support is that they’re able to raise awareness of the disease and create conversations amongst the local community,” Ms Bayly said.

The funds raised will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation for research and awareness.

As of 2 June, more than $3500 had been raised.

Casey Mayor Sam Aziz’s vision for a topshelf university on the soon-to-be vacated Monash University campus in Berwick has received interest from the Top End. Cr Aziz said the council would advocate for Northern Territory-based Charles Darwin University’s ambitious bid for the site - soon after meeting with the university’s vice-chancellor Professor Simon Maddocks on 24 May. The university’s bid included boosting the range of courses offered - including engineering, business, medicine, nursing and hospitality, Cr Aziz said.

“The downfall for Monash was they did not have that diversity of courses.

“It’s not just about the name of the tertiary institution, but what actually gets delivered.”

Cr Aziz said the Charles Darwin University was enthusiastic to accommodate his hope for an elite business school along the lines of Harvard Business School.

It would help drive the council’s vision as a leader in economic development, he said.

“The exciting thing is their business model is for the sort of education we’re looking to offer in Casey.

“They have undertaken to partner with the council and the community to build the DNA on the campus, which tailors it to service the area.”

The university approached Casey Council to outline the bid, attracted by the region’s burgeoning population and quality schools, Cr Aziz said.

Monash University, which plans to vacate Berwick in 2018, is believed to have three suitors for the site at this stage.

Cr Aziz said the council did not have a direct say in the bidding process, but would lend its support to Charles Darwin.

Charles Darwin University would not comment at this stage.

MORE LIKE A HOUSE \1/29 BRYANTS ROAD, DANDENONG This bright, spacious two bedroom unit feels more like a small house than a unit with its separate driveway and corner location.

It features spacious double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a large living area, ducted heating and cooling, alarm system, gas appliances and a private driveway to a single garage with internal access and an automatic door.

The new owner will love the sparkling new kitchen with gas hot plates, rangehood and plenty of cupboards.

There are also two outdoor areas and a garden shed.

It is located close to Dandenong railway station and other amenities and there is a bus stop around the corner.

There is also no owners’ corporation so it ticks all the boxes.

Sloping Blocks HOME OWNERS CAN TAKE TO THE HILLS TO ENJOY THE HIGH LIFE IN THIS SPECIAL FEATURE ON BUILDING ON SLOPING BLOCKS, WE LOOK AT THE REASONS FOR PICKING THESE PIECES OF HEAVEN AND THE BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS WHO CAN HELP YOU LIVE YOUR DREAM. Commanding views sweeping down valleys and looking out over the lights of a city or even just good natural drainage - there are lots of reasons to buy and build on a sloping piece of land.

In the case of Timbertops, home owners are able to enjoy the best views in Officer stretching from the township all the way to Western Port, according to Jarod Mills, Sales and Marketing Manager at Parklea Developments.

“Homes built on sloping blocks enjoy better natural light due to their elevated position as well as the flexibility of a split-level design,” he said.

“From a basement with windows on the lower level to lightfilled living areas and bedrooms overlooking spectacular views on the upper levels, the options are endless.

“You’ll also benefit from natural drainage and affordable blocks of land that will balance the cost of a custom build.”

Timbertop Estate, Officer, has a limited number of lots available in the Grange

Release, perched on the estate’s rolling hills. Andrew Timms and Luke O’Connor of GJ Gardiner Homes Dandenong concur believing that a sloping block is not an impediment to getting the dream house and brings with it a lot of advantages.

“We can customise designs to suit the land you have,” Andrew said.

The designs can be altered to capture and utilise the views a block provides.

Resta, the sales associate from the lands sales office at Grandvue Officer, says that Grandvue Estate has a range of sloping blocks to suit the investor or home maker who is looking for street appeal or something unique when it comes to home design.

Grandvue Officer can recommend a range of builders who specialise in building homes on Grandvue’s sloping blocks.

Resta is one of the many happy people who has chosen to build in and raise her family in Grandvue Estate, Officer, due to the location and views on offer.

HEAD OF THE TOP AND ENJOY THE BENEFITS New owners will be able to create a home that sits above the rest in Timbertop Estate’s popular Grange release.

Timbertop Estate, Officer, has a limited number of lots available in the Grange release which is perched on the estate’s rolling hills.

This is a chance to live life at the top and enjoy the best views in Officer stretching from the township all the way to Western Port.

With construction on the Grange release now complete, home buyers can start building their dream home in July and August.

Homes built on sloping blocks enjoy better natural light due to their elevated position, as well as the flexibility of a split-level design.

From a basement with windows on the lower level to light-filled living areas and bedrooms overlooking spectacular views on the upper levels, the options are endless.

Homeowners will also benefit from natural drainage and affordable blocks of land that will balance the cost of a custom build.

These premium lots are located next to the new Timbertop Park which is due for completion in summer 2016.

With the park right on the doorstep, residents will have access to walking tracks, lookouts, barbeques and sporting facilities that are seconds from their home.

Clients can design a premium home that is uniquely theirs in one of Timbertop’s most sought-after locations.

The team at Timbertop will also assist clients in finding a trusted builder that can build on sloping land.

Sloping Blocks TAKE IN THE VIEW TO A GREAT DEAL

LOOK UP THE BUILDING EXPERTS Property owners who have a sloping block should choose the experts at G.J. Gardner Homes Melbourne South East to make their building experience easy and enjoyable.

Co-Director Andrew Timms is very experienced when it comes to sloping blocks from his experience working throughout the picturesque south-east.

Sloping blocks lend themselves to stunning design features such as raised ceilings, elevated verandas and sunken rooms, which are a great way to divide living spaces.

The G.J. team will be able to show clients the advantages to their block and design and have creative solutions in mind for their ‘must haves’.

Sloping blocks do carry some additional

considerations and costs, for example, a cut and fill to create a flat platform for the foundation, drainage at the bottom of the slop, and increased exposure to the elements.

Andrew said a good builder will keep clients informed of these possible additional costs during the building process to avoid costly surprises.

Building on a sloping block is an exciting opportunity but clients who keep additional costs in mind when planning the hilltop home of their dreams will be pleased with their decision for many years to come.

G.J. Gardner Homes Melbourne South East is at 2/260-276 Abbotts Road, Dandenong South.

Phone 9799 8886.

One of Officer’s premium estates, Grandvue sets itself apart from its competitors by offering titled lots to buyers with superior views of the surrounding area.

The elevated living proposition often creates a unique and interesting build outcome.

Homes built across split levels allow for an abundant amount of natural light and separate living areas, often catering to families with children.

Buyers can find themselves a builder who they can trust and really maximise the attributes of their block.

They don’t have to wait six to 12 months for roads and services to be connected and titles to be released and can inspect the prestigious Panorama release which

offers larger lot sizes of 1000 square metres starting from $295,000.

Grandvue is ideally located and within easy reach of all life’s necessities.

A wide range of primary, secondary schools and colleges are at the doorstep, a proposed new shopping centre is across the road and the Toomuc recreation reserve is only minutes away.

Journey time to Melbourne’s CBD via the M1 is approximately 45 minutes with train services running directly from the Officer station which is a short three-minute drive from Grandvue.

For more information visit Grandvue.com. au, phone 1300 737 851 or drop into the sales office which is open seven days a week from 11am to 6pm.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST Trains arrive ahead of time Bombardier Transportation has celebrated delivering the final 43 VLocity carriages for the Regional Rail Link - five months ahead of schedule.

The manufacturer also marked completing the Refresh Program with an event at its Dandenong plant on Thursday 2 June.

Refresh introduced new intermediate carriages to convert the VLocity trains from two to three-carriage sets.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams spoke at the event, praising the work Bombardier did in Dandenong and for the Victorian manufacturing and transport industries.

Bombardier’s Australian CEO Rene Lalande said the VLocity milestone could only have been achieved as a partnership between Bombardier, the State Government, Public Transport Victoria, V/Line and the local supply chain.

He asked everyone who had worked on the project since it was first awarded in 2001 to raise their hands and gave them a special thank-you for their long-term commitment.

The carriages were designed, manufactured and delivered locally, with 66.5 per cent local content.

The State Government’s 2016-’17 budget included 27 additional VLocity cars on top of a 21-carriage order the previous year.

On Tuesday 15 March the Government announced that it would nearly double its high-capacity train order from 37 sevencarriage sets to 65.

Bombardier is in the running for the contract with Eureka Rail and Evolution Rail the competition.

Mum means business

By CASEY NEILL Dee Insaro is a mum who means business.

She’s the co-ordinator for the Keysboroughbased Thai Language School of Melbourne and Sivalai Thai Dance.

“I can’t read and write Thai. I wanted my kids to be able to speak and read and write and just know about their cultural background,” she said.

“My intention was to study with them.”

But she’s now too busy managing teachers, volunteers and 80-plus students to go to classes.

“My kids know more about the language than I do!”

Ms Insaro was part of the Mothers Mean Business Expo at Dandenong Market on Sunday 15 May. The event showcased migrant women and their businesses, many started at kitchen tables.

Victorian Immigrant and Refugee Women’s Coalition (VIRWC) organised the event with help from the Multicultural Women’s Friendship Network, City of Greater Dandenong, Dandenong Market and ERMHA. Many exhibitors were administrators, nurses and academics in their homeland and found themselves in a new country, still driven to succeed but unable to continue their original career.

The event was designed to offer inspiration and advice to other migrant women about how to succeed.

“I met a lot of new people. I made some friends,” Ms Insaro said.

Thai Language School of Melbourne started at a Forest Hill temple in 2001 and has since grown enormously.

Its Sunday classes relocated to Keysborough College this year.

Ms Insaro moved to Australia from Thailand when she was four years old. Every day after school we had to write the alphabet.

It just takes “We have a few people, their businesses send me out of my comfort zone, I think.”

Great Scots! it’s a tartan invasion More than a touch of tartan was spotted in Dandenong on Sunday 29 May. The 14th annual Scottish Heritage Day also brought Scottish dogs, horses and dancers to Greaves Reserve for the Dandenong Agricultural and Pastoral Society event.

Pipe band performances, calls from the Australasian Guild of Town Criers and kilt competitions also entertained visitors.

Steve Reason and his family travelled from Sale to be part of the Scottish celebration.

They’re involved with a group called The Colliewobbles, which cares for rescued collies and shelties.

“On their Facebook page they mentioned this event,” Mr Reason.

“My wife’s from Scottish heritage and we usually go up once a month to Glen Waverley.

“This was a nice day out.”

The Reasons took home two blue ribbons thanks to blue merle Shetland sheepdogs Nessie and Myrtle, for the best rescue pet and Wee Beastie Fancy Dress.

Print does the job on employment Newspapers remain a popular medium for job hunters searching for their next role despite the wide choice of domestic and international alternatives online.

Emma data shows 1.4 million job seekers use print newspapers each month. Job seekers from certain industries are more likely to use print newspapers for job hunting. Those looking for work in public administration are 46 percent more likely to use print newspaper’s employment sections with similar results for mining (44 percent), and teachers and lecturers (27 percent) more likely to use print.

Businesses looking to find the right candidate should employ print newspapers as part of their search, or risk missing out on a large pool of potential candidates.

SPORT More players urged to fill ranks

By JARROD POTTER Endeavour North Junior Football Club refuses to throw in the towel - despite the obstacles it has gone through in recent seasons.

Formerly known as Mossgiel Park, the Hawks at their heyday had sides in every division of the South East Juniors (SEJ) competition and a bestand-fairest board featuring AFL players such as Toby Mclean and Jay Kennedy-Harris.

Endeavour North has only one junior side in the south eastern competition currently - its under-eight white team.

But the last few years have been extremely lean as the side lost players to other clubs or ageing out of the junior ranks.

Things didn’t get better for the club in 2015 when Endeavour Hills and Endeavour North held a vote to determine whether the sides would merge in 2015, but it didn’t pass, leaving the suburb with two football sides - one of which with a dire lack of players.

“We want to continue this great club we’ve got - we’ve got the one team up and running and we’re going to have three next year,” Endeavour North secretary Joyce Yawnou said.

“We’re financially steady, it’s just the children we were lacking.

“We’ve got a few different approaches this year ahead.

“Our under-eights will go up to under-nines, there will be a new under-eights team from Auskick as well as an under-12 girls team.”

The club has a great affiliation with the Mossgiel Park Auskick centre and hopes those players will transition across to the club in years to come.

The glory days aren’t that far behind in the rear-view mirror for the Hawks and Yawnou be-

Endeavour North’’s under-8s team might be the last at the club, but the side is ready to roar into 2016 and beyond. 154846 lieves there’s life yet in the brown-and-gold brigade at Barry Simon Reserve.

“We’d love to recapture that and if we’re able to keep those kids together and strive together, we’ll

be onto a winning streak,” Yawnou said.

“But it’s all about sportsmanship and having fun at this stage - we don’t have to worry about winning at this stage yet.”

Abuk takes a shot and nets a place in state play

By JARROD POTTER From a chance encounter with netball to making the state team, St John’s Regional College sporting superstar Abuk Kenyang has shot for the stars in quite a short time.

Kenyang, 14, from Dandenong, has shot up the netball ranks since starting at St Mary’s Netball Club as a nine-year-old on the suggestion of a family friend.

Ever since then, her hard work on the court has shone through and rocketed her towards the peaks of junior netball after she made the School Sport Victoria (SSV) under-15 team, despite facing huge competition for her beloved spot.

“I feel really privileged as there were a lot of great goalers at the tryouts - and I just couldn’t believe at the last trial the amount of great goalers they got rid of,” Kenyang said.

“I just burst into tears and I couldn’t believe it.

“Penny from St Mary’s, who is the president, she came to school and told me and I’m like ‘stop lying to me’ but it was real.”

The St Mary’s powerhouse goal shooter was originally a defender but her switch from defence to attack panned out brilliantly as she looks to impress in the forward arc for the Victorian schoolgirls side next month.

“I started in 2011 - so about five years - my family friend asked me when I was about nine years old and I agreed to it,” Kenyang said.

“I didn’t think it was going to be this big, I just did it for the fun of it and to get fit.

“I started off as a goal defence and then I was like ‘let’s start shooting - that looks like fun’.

“I like goal-shooter but I just feel useless when the ball is at the other end and just ask ‘please can I run around’ and go be more of a goal attack.”

She splits her time between St Mary’s and the Victorian Netball League (VNL) side Peninsula Waves and really enjoys the intensity of the statewide competition.

“The competition is a lot more competitive and once you miss that goal, the rebound has already been taken away from you so it’s a lot different and much harder.”

But for now she’s hoping to make her mark on the championships, make a lot of new friends and improve her netball skills while pushing for selection in the Australian squad.

Stingrays get carnival ready The initial Vic Country batch from the Dandenong Stingrays is ready to test itself on the national stage.

Taking on Western Australia on the massive Perth ground, Vic Country’s opening clash of the carnival will feature seven Stingrays and plenty from the SEFNL ranks.

Berwick duo Reece Piper and Oscar Clavarino will stand side-by-side in the Vic Country backline with good support from Tom Jok (Beaconsfield), Josh Battle (Doveton), Sam Fowler, Mitch McCarthy and Myles Poholke also earning a place in the initial side.

Dandenong Stingrays region manager Mark Wheeler thinks the Stingrays Seven showed why they have earned their spots.

“Definitely pleasing for them - they’ve worked hard since October - some are only 18 months into their career and showing a fair bit,” Wheeler said.

“They’ve definitely earned it - no one got a free gift - everyone earned the right to be chosen.

“We’re disappointed some missed out.”

Wheeler said AFL Academy duo Battle and Poholke, who will hopefully improve their draft stocks heading into the second half of the season, are players to watch.

“One of the most dangerous forwards in the country set up, Battle kicks his three or four goals then moves into the midfield and bolster his claims in the draft.

“Poholke should get a little bit more game time and play that Dustin Martin style and bring that to the game and use his space and power.”

He also thinks eyes should be kept on Fowler and Piper - with the small tandem at either end set to shine under the watchful eye of AFL recruiters.

St John’s savour heart and soul success

By JARROD POTTER GREATER DANDENONG FOOTBALL REVIEW - WEEK 9 NOTHING warms your soul on a harsh winter’s day quite like belting out the team song.

In a monumental battle at Thomas Carroll Reserve, St John’s strengthened its grip on the VAFA Division 2 throne with a nail-biting 9.16 (70) to 7.8 (50) triumph over second placed West Brunswick.

The JOCs should’ve buried the Magpies in the first term as forward entries were racked up to little effect. Spraying their way to 4.6 at the first change, from there life became a grind for the hosts.

West Brunswick didn’t stop surging through the middle terms, putting the JOCs to the sword and narrowing the gap rapidly through Ben Kline (three goals), Chris Germon and Matt Holmes (two apiece).

With only 10 points separating the sides at the last break, St John’s coach Ben McGee pleaded with his side to retaliate and start winning the contests no matter what.

Stepping up under the final term spotlight, captain Glenn Costas showed why he was given that mantle. He was first under every pack to fire out clean first hands in the horrendous conditions and alongside Anthony Brannan (three goals) and Corey Ely, the midfield started to drag St John’s across the line.

Aaron Thornton (one goal) was kept uncustomarily quiet through the day - mostly on account of being double and triple-teamed defensively - but booted the match-winner late in the fourth.

St John’s inaccuracy in front of goals left West Brunswick with slim hopes, but that was soon snuffed out as Daniel Cattolico put one quickly on the boot in the forward-50.

His bouncing shot was snapped up by Matt Nicholson, who cherry-picked it with a Daniel Wells’ style scissor kick on the goal-line to seal the deal and put St John’s up to nine-and-zip.

“It was a great game of footy with plenty of emotion and backwards and forwards with contested ball,” St John’s coach Ben McGee said.

“They had our measure for probably two and a half quarters in regard to that battle of contested ball and at three-quarter-time we had to look at that and assess it and improve on it and that’s what we did.

“He’s (Costas) gone to another level as a player and I think the captaincy is bringing the best out of him.

While 16 behinds isn’t a pretty look on the scoreboard, McGee said the JOCs are more interested in what the opposition can muster and he is happy to let his forwards sort out a winning score.

“From an opposition point of view we do but our mantra has always been about minimising the opposition’s capacity to score,” McGee said.

“They’ve come away from today and kicked seven goals in three quarters.

“Considering they had a lot of the ball, I

St John’s Anthony Brannan sent the Magpies flying with a flurry of fend offs. 155144 thought we did defend well.”

After the Queen’s Birthday bye, St John’s will host Yarra Valley OB. With Cattolico playing through the pain on Saturday, forward Tim Edwards missing with an ankle injury and a few other players a bit worse for wear, McGee thinks the bye has come at the perfect time to allow the list to recover and prepare for the second half of the year.

“It gives us the option to I suppose, be a little bit more peaceful over the next couple of weeks, knowing you can recharge your batteries,” McGee said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, but we can recharge properly and we can do that in the right way.

In EFL results, a scoreless first term at the Bull-

ring all but sealed Noble Park’s fate on Saturday against Doncaster. Despite a gutsy fightback, Nobel Park couldn’t deliver the finishing blow after its languid start against the Sharks.

The visitors booted ahead but couldn’t deliver the kill-strike as Noble Park held on to trail by 16 at the big break.

The hard inside work of Vergim Faik, Ben Giobbi - who has been short-listed for Vic Metro duties - and Kyle Martin started to turn the match around as the Noblemen booted within four points at the last change.

But when the match was there to be won, the Bulls couldn’t find one last thrust, left to concede a 7.8 (50) to 7.11 (53) defeat. Noble Park battles Balwyn on Saturday.

Melton gouges out BIG V win

By JARROD POTTER BIG V - ROUND 11 TURNOVERS, travels and “the injury”.

Three big T’s turned Keysborough’s dominant half-time position against high-flying Melton to a 74-84 defeat.

Everything started promisingly for the Cougars, racing away with a 27-point first term as David Smith (four points, 11 rebounds) proved the difference under the ring.

He flew up and won a flurry of rebounds and despite giving away 10-15cm on some of his opponents, Smith terrorised the Thoroughbreds’ talls and fed the ball out at will to potent pairing Aaron Abrams (22 points, 10 rebounds) and Calvin Enge (20 points).

The only way to stop Smith in the first half was to poke his eyes out ... literally.

Smith was taken to hospital with a bleed in his eye after a contesting yet another rebound in the dying stages of the second term.

Coach Nathan Vogt had to switch up his roster as Smith left the stadium. It only got worse for Keysborough as fouls mounted on Abrams and Ben Morwood (10 points, five rebounds) and forced the duo to take the pine at inopportune times.

Despite the obstacles, Keysborough held in the contest under the defensive glass. Enge clamped down on Melton’s Ivan Harris (26 points) and the familiar faces of Adam Sliwinski, Chris Demchyshyn, John Constance and Steve Haddrell also sacrificed their own games for the team good.

But Keysy coughed it up way too much; the turnover count ballooned, travels were plentiful and generally the hard work at the other end was not converted.

Harris put the match on ice with an eight-point run in the fourth term, knocking in a trey and a couple of field goals in a silky minute-and-a-half of basketball to put Melton out of reach.

“I think we were really rattled when they took Dave out,” Vogt said. “Obviously that hurt us - Dave was having a fantastic game and on track to really blow the stat-sheet apart.

“That intensity and a lot of what we did today revolved around getting Dave inside, because we knew he was going to be a difficult mismatch and when you lose a big part of what your game-plan is centred around, it’s going to hurt and it did today.”

Keysborough’s women were also knocked over on home court with a 27-point loss to Coburg. Genevieve Abbott (22 points, 15 rebounds) continued her stellar season while Tamara Matecic (12 points) also stepped up for crucial stats.

After the Queen’s Birthday bye, Keysborough’s men head away to Shepparton before facing Warrandyte at Rowville, while the women head up to North East’s Wodonga court on Sunday 19 June.

Dandenong Thunder’s winning ways unfazed by rain

By JARROD POTTER NPL VICTORIA - ROUND 15 YOU can’t keep a good side down for long and Melbourne City Youth discovered on Saturday it’s even harder to do that to a great side.

In a battle of East and West’s top seeds, Dandenong Thunder hosting City was set to be seasondefining for the George Andrews Reserve boys ... and Saturday night proved no different. In its toughest tussle yet, the Thunder had to chase in the rain and do it without a couple of its usual starters. Socceroo Simon Colosimo (hamstring tightness) was conservatively rested and striker Amir Osmancevic was released during the week, leaving youngsters Patrick Avice, Antonio Barbaro and Andrew Duong starting on the park.

It left the Thunder with its most inexperienced side of the year on the park for arguably its biggest match and it wasn’t paying off early as the Dandy boys showed too much style and not enough substance. Careless passes, misplaced trickery and a general lack of polish found the Thunder exposed 40 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 6 June, 2016

at the back and City capitalised, slotting a penalty.

Turning to its midfield maestro, Kristian Sarkies (42’) produced the Thunder goal of the year on the cusp of half-time. He curled it over the wall and past outstretched gloves of City’s keeper to rustle the top left corner of the net and reignite the ladder leaders. The second half proved much of the same as Barnes (52’) took little time to slot his first for the night and number 27 for the season. The icing on the cake came from Daniel Bennett (83’) as Thunder endured the best City had to offer, even with a depleted line-up.

“It’s always the case when you play good opposition,” Thunder coach Huss Skenderovic said.

“I really enjoyed the game, but you’re going to get those moments when you’ll concede like that.

“Against the run of play you give a penalty, but it shows the character of the team ... . we bounce back because we’re very resilient.”

The younger Thunder squad members showed they’re not making up numbers and Skenderovic was thrilled with the efforts of Barbaro, Avice and young keeper Fraser Maclaren in particular.

With a seven-point buffer on second placed Kingston City, Thunder’s season is going from strength to strength before its away clash against Whittlesea Ranges. Thunder has also brought Samuel Catherine across from NPL side Richmond FC as its first signing in the NPL transfer window.

Life at the front was great for Springvale White Eagles, thumping Moreland City 3-0 on the back of a brace off Vojislav Milojevic (19’ and 32’) as well as second half match-sealer from Milan Jovanovic (61’). Dandenong City - who faced St Albans on Sunday after the Journal went to print hosts Bendigo City this Saturday while Springvale White Eagles travel up to Ballarat.

In the state leagues, South Springvale thumped Casey Comets 3-0 on the back of Nikolaos Galas brace and one from the skipper Ilya Grin. Noble Park United had a 1-1 draw with Heatherton United, Doveton SC fell 1-2 to Doncaster Rovers, while winners in 4 and 5 South were Harrisfield Hurricanes, Hampton Park United, Keysborough, White Star Dandenong and Dandenong Warriors.

Keysborough’s David Smith scorched Melton in the first half before he was sent to hospital.

Season warms to indoor cricket

By JARROD POTTER

Big Bash League all-rounder Clive Rose is set to star at the Australian Indoor Cricket Open Championships, held this week in Springvale.

“Indoor cricket has gone from strength to strength in the past 12 months and we currently have more than 180,000 indoor cricket participants across Australia,” Cricket Australia Indoor Cricket Manager Paul Milo said.

“The Open Championships are the pinnacle of the sport and see some of Australia’s best cricketers take part across the week-long tournament.

“We look forward to heading to Springvale and seeing the top talent takes part in this highly

Winning run was a good return for proud owners

By JASON ADAMS Last Thursday night was one to remember for young trainer Dermott Prout as Sandy Monelli captured the pair’s maiden city win.

Sandy Monelli began well from box one and generated a two-length break down the back straight.

Louie Neveelk threatened late but was unsuccessful as Sandy Monelli held on to win by a length in 29.70.

“I’m really proud of her - I wasn’t sure if she’d run out the 515m as she’s never been over more than 440m.

“We thought she’s in the best form she’s been in so why not have a crack,” said 22-year-old Prout.

Prout’s family has been involved in greyhounds for many years but it’s a hobby that he has only recently taken up.

“She’s (Sandy Monelli) is the first dog I’ve ever trained myself - dad and his uncle have been involved over the years.

“Due to taking me everywhere to play sport,

Dermott Prout and family were pretty proud of Sandy Monelli’s winning run. dad wasn’t able to spend as much time with the dogs while I was growing up.

“Once I gave up my sporting commitments I was keen to get involved in greyhound racing.”

anticipated tournament.”

Players from the nationals will vie for Australian selection for the 2017 World Cup in Dubai and also the Trans-Tasman series to be held in Port Macquarie in September.

FREE 25 POINT SERVICE

Owner of Sandy Monelli, Alan Wright, purchased the greyhound for a relatively small sum - a bargain buy as Sandy Monelli has now won $33,110.

“After her first few runs at Ballarat the owner bought her for $3000 - that’s proving to be a very good buy.”

Prout is uncertain of Sandy Monelli’s next assignment though he does have his eyes on a series at his home track.

“I’m not too sure where we’ll take her next there was a series at Sale we had our eyes on but I’ll have to speak with the team.”

The night was the first of a winter-long trial of Sandown Park racing one hour earlier.

During the trial period, the first race will commence at just after 6pm with the final race to jump prior to 10pm.

The change has been made with participant welfare in mind, helping them avoid peak hour traffic on their way to the track, and getting them home an hour earlier during the coldest time of the year.

Just because it’s cold and wet outside it doesn’t mean local cricket action has to cool down.

Springvale Indoor Sports Centre is ready to host this year’s Australian Indoor Cricket Open Championships, starting 4 June. The tournament has sides from the six states and territory across a number of age groups and divisions.

Cricket Australia has also introduced a marquee player system for the Open Championships.

Born-and-bred Dandenong all-rounder and Ryder Medallist Clive Rose is thrilled to take part in the tournament in his home town.

“I’m looking forward to playing with the boys I haven’t seen in a little while.

“I’ve been training with them for a little bit recently and this is my fifth season at the nationals,” Rose said. “I couldn’t go last year but the year before we made the grand final so I’m looking forward to playing with the boys and also with my cousin Brendan.

“I grew up playing at Springvale and it’s great to see Jason (Floros) and Kara (Sutherland) playing too.

“It will bring an awareness to indoor cricket and how fun it can be.”

Rose encouraged all summer cricketers to get along and keep their skills up with the indoor winter season because it benefits everyone, even first-class cricketers.

“I’ll always go down and play domestic indoor cricket when I can,” Rose said.

“It’s slowly growing and getting bigger numbers and it’s a great other way to keep your skills up during the winter.”

The best Indoor players across the country will take part in under-21s, Open Men, Open Ladies and the Lord’s Taverners Shield - which sees cricketers with an intellectual disability take part in the elite level cricket.

More than 180,000 cricketers take part in the indoor format across Australia and the Open Championships is the premier tournament for indoor cricket each year.

MOTORING Mix and Maxx compact Mazda

By DEREK OGDEN Mazda has introduced a sedan version of its popular Mazda2.

Available in Neo and Maxx specification - the high-end Genki has been let go - sedan prices start with an entry level of $14,990 for the Neo manual.

Neo and Maxx hatchback share their prices with the sedan, while the added Genki tops out the range at $20,690.

Designers created a dynamic profile by pushing the compact cabin toward the rear of the lower body’s forward sloping lines.

The overall effect of this body design is that of forward momentum, while wheels positioned as close as possible to the four corners of the body create a short overhang and achieves a wide track.

The instrument panel spreads like the wings of a plane; the round air-conditioning louvres resemble jet engines; the radiating lines of the door trim convey the image of air flowing from a jet engine.

The driver-centric cockpit environment and classy colour co-ordinated surroundings work well.

A number of functions can be controlled by voice activation, including switching menus, audio play, stop and skip functions, station selection, as well as zooming in and out of the navigation system maps.

It has an increased torque output when the accelerator pedal is pressed down further to deliver increased acceleration and a sense of fast response with a minimum of pedal action.

Central to this is the delivery of a good field of vision from the driver’s seat, plus the placement of new Human Machine Interface devices to minimise movement of the driver’s line of sight.

The Mazda2 hatch carries design cues found across the complete range of Mazda vehicles.

Available across the Mazda2 range is the Smart City Brake Support option, which, when driving at low speeds (four to 30 km/h) around town, the system automatically applies the brakes to prevent colliding with the vehicle ahead or reduce the amount of damage in the event an accident cannot be avoided.

Our finest selection for your peace of mind.

Mercedes-Benz Berwick are dedicated to having the finest and most extensive selection of Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned vehicles available in Australia.

There’s good space in the Mazda2 Maxx cabin with ample head and shoulder room for the average-size occupants in front while rear leg room is adequate.

Instruments are clear and easy to read as is the 7.0-inch screen perched on top of the central dashboard, conveniently at driver’s eye level.

The ride was a bit bumpy and noisy on some uneven road surfaces.

The car handled confidently without suspension trauma.

Parking, with the aid of the reversing camera and its guidelines, was a doddle with such a small car.
