■ Hoons and their cars crushed...

Smoked out hoons Hoons caught on video performing smoking donuts and burnouts in tandem - and in one instance hitting a spectator - at South East Skids meets in an industrial estate have had their cars forfeited to the state.

More than 20 offenders - arrested as part of Taskforce Regarder police investigations - were called at a packed Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 8 June.

All had allegedly performed circle burnouts in front of up to 100 spectators during various illegal meets at Licola Crescent, Dandenong South, from December to February.

All but one of the hoons who pleaded guilty had their cars forfeited by magistrate Barry Schulz. All lost their licences and many were ordered to perform unpaid work as part of community orders.

Each had been identified using police CCTV footage zoning on number plates and drivers as they lined up in two long queues to join the skids meets.

One of the accused was Mitchell Gifford of Cranbourne who, after taking part in skids, led police on a 135km/h pursuit in his Falcon later that morning.

During the abandoned pursuit in Cranbourne he caused other drivers to brake heavily as he entered a roundabout on the wrong side of the road and turned right.

The same car had been observed performing a sustained, circular burnout in Lynbrook in October as well as in a Bundoora industrial estate in late 2014.

Magistrate Mr Schulz said: “It’s a matter of your (young) age that has particularly saved you from a period of imprisonment.”

On 13 January Brodie Treloar’s car followed another vehicle into the turnaround bowl.

Footage played to the court showed that the pair of vehicles in tandem circle burnouts while a passenger sat out of the window of Treloar’s car.

At the same time several people walked in the middle to film the performance - akin to “running with the bulls”, Mr Schulz said.

Most of the offenders were aged up to their early 20s with limited or no prior offences.

An older exception was Trent Alexander Thompson who had several relevant priors and received a sentence indication of imprisonment

and the possible forfeiture of his $100,000 car.

A sobbing Thompson blurted “no” when it was mentioned that he could lose his car.

Prosecutor Acting Sergeant Cameron Smithett said police had yet to finish investigating a 46 giga-byte, 3500-page file of videos and pictures of Thompson’s cars at similar meets found on Thompson’s phone.

Thompson was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 29 June along with alleged South East Skids organiser Marcus Cory Reddecliffe.

Another repeat offender was Clinton Wawrzik who had his Falcon with the plates LUXXRY impounded for 30 days after speeding at 153km/h on Monash Freeway in November.

Less than a week later he sped up to 130km/h in his girlfriend’s car during an illegal drag race from traffic lights on Warrigal Road, Murrumbeena.

Days after his LUXXRY Falcon was returned, Wawrzik was captured doing circle burnouts at Licola Crescent.

He was on a community corrections order at the time of these offences.

Mr Schulz had the Falcon impounded but had the custom-made number plates returned after a plea from Wawrzik.

There was an audible gasp from the court’s public gallery when a video was played showing a woman being hit by a ute driven by Mitchell Paul McCullagh.

McCullagh's Falcon XR6 ute furiously burned circles and tyre rubber for about a minute in front of a 100-strong crowd, the video footage showed.

Then in a split second, from out of the thick smoke, the rear tray swung around into front of the frame and hit a young female at the South East Skids illegal meet in Dandenong South in September.

The footage shows the victim’s legs being taken out and her being thrown several metres from the impact at the Licola Crescent ‘turnaround bowl’.

The victim was later taken to Monash Medical Centre for treatment. McCullagh’s ute still wore side-panel damage from the incident when it was seized by police on 3 February.

He was captured on CCTV doing circle burnouts close to a crowd at a Licola Crescent meet again on 30 December. McCullagh, 21, pleaded guilty to two counts of reckless conduct endangering serious injury.

City’s election wish list Help to close the hazardous waste landfill in Dandenong South is among Greater Dandenong Council’s requests to federal election candidates.

It released an advocacy document ahead of the Saturday 2 July poll that also included improved education and employment outcomes for young people, improved public transport for Dandenong South, gambling reform and support for the municipality’s business, manufacturing and auto industries.

The council is also asking for funding to support developing the Springvale Community and Learning Hub, the Dandenong South Inland Port and programs that address alcohol abuse and family violence.

It also called for indexation of Federal Government financial assistance grants to be reinstated in 2017-18.

The Federal Government each year provides a financial assistance grant to state governments for

allocation to councils.

It was traditionally indexed to take population growth and inflation forecasts into account but in 2013 the Federal Government announced a threeyear freeze on growth.

This year’s rate-capping restricted Greater Dandenong Council’s ability to meet the funding shortfall.

The council said the situation was placing considerable pressure on service delivery, asset renewal and delivering new infrastructure.

Residents have been pushing to close the contaminated waste dump on Taylors Road, known as the Lyndhurst Landfill, for more than 20 years.

It was established in a former sand quarry in 1990 and in 1992 was extended into the neighbouring site, creating about 54 hectares for waste disposal.

It’s the only licensed Prescribed Industrial Waste facility in Victoria and is relatively close to residential areas.

The council’s position is that the site poses an unacceptable risk to residents and workers, an al-

ternative site needs to be found, and a closure date for Lyndhurst needs to be set.

It’s calling on federal candidates to advocate for state-wide policy because it is concerned that without a policy the landfill’s life might continue to be extended.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Heang Tak said the council’s role in the south-east’s growth and success had never been more important.

He said the council was committed to its community but needed support from the Federal Government to achieve the best outcomes for everyone.

“Significant investment in recent years has helped to establish our city as a region of national significance,” Cr Tak said.

“We recognise Greater Dandenong’s role in providing significant business, transport, employment and educational infrastructure for Melbourne’s south-east.

“With a projected population growth of 26 per cent by 2030 our role will become even more important in the years to come.”

They loved The Greatest as he floated like a butterfly

By CASEY NEILL “I was amazed at the adulation people had for him.

“It was the same as if the Pope was visiting.

People just loved him.”

Journal photographer Rob Carew still vividly remembers the day boxing legend Mohammed Ali met fans of all ages in Dandenong on 11 September 2000.

He reminisced about the experience in the wake of Ali’s death on Saturday 4 June.

“I knew he was very famous, but when I got there people were having a religious experience meeting him. It was full-on,” he said.

Mr Carew said “a couple of hundred packed into a small space” at Dandenong’s Visy Cares Centre on Clow Street, now called Ystop.

“He posed for photos with a lot of people. He was very generous with his time,” he said.

“He didn’t really say much, but anyone who came near him he’d do the fist or the point.”

Ali quite literally touched then-Visy Cares Centre manager Dave Glazebrook.

“He touched his bald head and made fun of him,” Mr Carew said.

“He tried to include everybody, no matter who they were.

“He seemed really happy to be there.

“I think he would have stayed there all day if he could.”

Ali’s Dandenong visit coincided with his guest appearance at the Olympic Games opening ceremony in Sydney.

He was a guest of the Pratt family, which ran the Visy Cares Centre.

Dandenong High School band played Eye of the Tiger, the Journal reported at the time, and “Ali didn’t speak at the centre but his eye contact and hand gestures made the small crowd feel important”.

Mr Glazebrook was moved by the visit, the Journal said, especially after Ali presented him with a signed pair of boxing gloves.

“It is wonderful to receive the gloves to be raffled off for the centre, but for a short while I will keep them close to my heart,” he said.

Muhammad Ali in Dandenong on 11 September 2000. 155361 Ali was 74 years old when he died in a Phoenix hospital following a short battle with a respiratory illness.

He had battled Parkinson’s disease for more than three decades.

His boxing career stretched from 1960 to 1981 and he was regarded as the greatest professional boxer in the sport’s history, with a 56-5 win-loss record and a gold medal from the 1960 Olympics in Rome.

Ali was also known globally for his civil rights activism and earned admirers for his moves in the ring and for his wit outside it.

He was born in Louisville, Kentucky, as Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr and changed his name in 1964 after converting to Islam.

Sounds like trouble Two Dandenong thieves grabbed a man and stole his backpack without saying a word.

The 19-year-old victim was walking along Walker Street near Clow Street about 12.30am on Wednesday 1 June.

Two men of African appearance approached him, Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Bree Jarvis said.

“No words or demands were made,” she said.

“But one of the offenders held the victim while the other removed his backpack.”

The backpack contained the victim’s wallet, iPhone and other personal property.

The thieves ran from the scene, traveling east on Walker Street.

The victim later found his backpack a short distance away, minus his phone and wallet.

A Garfield man suffered a broken nose during a robbery along Thomas Street, Dandenong.

The 20-year-old was walking about 7pm Thursday 28 April when three men, described as aged 16 to 18 years and of Maori appearance, approached and punched him in the face.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Bree Jarvis said the victim also suffered swelling to his right eye and cuts and bruises.

His attackers stole his black and red bumbag, she said.

A person in a car stopped to check on the victim after the assault and drove him to Dandenong Hospital.

Sen Const Jarvis urged the Good Samaritan and any witnesses to the assault to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

At least 10 cars were destroyed in a suspicious factory fire in Dandenong South.

Residents were advised to close their windows as smoke billowed from the blaze on Sunday 5 June.

Firefighters were called to Allcar Towing about 6.20am and found the 30-by-20 metre Kirkham Road building and the 10 cars inside fully alight.

Seven trucks, including the Hallam and Dandenong brigades, attended and brought the fire under control at 6.52am.

The CFA issued an advice warning for nearby residents to close their windows due to smoke.

Greater Dandenong CIU is investigating the cause of the fire.

The Mazda 3 crashed through a fence and a brick letter box on Raymond Street about 3am.

A CFA spokesman said there were initial reports of two people trapped when the first call came through to emergency services.

He said the house suffered superficial damage, SES crews attended to secure two broken windows, and the car was towed from the scene.

An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said noone was injured.

Police were unable to confirm reports that three people who’d been in the car fled the scene, and that the car had been stolen from Springvale.

In Brief

3 DANDENONG JOURNAL Monday, 13 June, 2016

Looking Back 100 years ago 8 June 1916 Sad Fatality at Dandenong On Friday morning an accident befell Mr Charles Griffin, an old and respected resident of Dandenong, who has been engaged in the building trade for several years past, and, sad to relate, resulted in his death within an hour after this occurrence.

On the date mentioned Mr Griffin, who had a contract for the erection of a weatherboard villa in Hutton Street, Dandenong, for Mr Armstrong of Police Road, whilst following his employment, fell a distance of between 13 and 14 feet, and, it was at once evident to those working with him that serious injuries had been sustained, therefore Dr Taylor was summoned. A fractured rib was a minor injury, but unfortunately there were internal injuries and shock, from which the patient succumbed in less than an hour's time from the mishap. Widespread regret was pressed on all sides, for the deceased, owing to his

straight forward and industrious methods of business in Dandenong and district, during a lifetime he had enjoyed many friendships.

He was one who, having decided after due consideration that a certain line of action was correct, would pursue that course, and could be depended upon for a fair deal at all times.

Mr Griffin was a married man, 49 years of age, and resided in Macpherson Street, Dandenong. To his widow and relatives we extend our deepest sympathy.

50 years ago 14 June 1966 International Award for Local Project The Jaycee road safety school.

The story began in 1960 when Jaycee member, Stan Phillips suggested that the chamber build a road safety school to train the 114,000 local school children to recognise all road signs and to learn road safety and to apply this training to practical and lifesaving use.

Throughout the four and a half years taken to complete the school in Stud Road, the generosity of the Dandenong public, the council and the business and trade organisations was tremendous.

This project has just received worldwide recognition as an outstanding effort in the field of local projects.

20 years ago 10 June 1996 Thomas Street forgotten by council Dandenong is a ‘feral city’ and Thomas Street is a ghost town which the Greater Dandenong council has ignored.

That’s the view of Thomas Street businessman Mr Darryl Calderwood, of Australian Printing Placements, who said the only time he had seen someone from the council in Thomas Street was when a parking inspector booked his car.

He claims the council has done “nothing” to boost Thomas Street, instead concentrat-

ing its efforts on the other side of Lonsdale Street.

5 years ago 13 June 2011 Volgren on board with $10m deal In another boost for Dandenong businesses, bus body builder Volgren has won a $10 million contract to supply 38 buses to Ventura Group.

Volgren was the first bus manufacturing company in the world to successfully build an aluminium superstructure and led the introduction to Australia of low-floor accessible route buses and has operations in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia.

It is the only bus manufacturing in Victoria and Australia’s largest bus body building company.

Raspberry vinegar was our treat 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.

The second driveway to Roseneath, the home of Doctor and Mrs Langley and their daughter, was opposite our side gate and was a sandy tanbark track that led in past sheds and stables.

Alongside the paddock there was a row of gum trees on the Power Street boundary.

This clear paddock would, over many years of secondary growth, become quite bushy.

The driveway continued round to the back of the house and the tennis court, which had a few large old red gums and some native bush and scrub.

The only time we saw this paddock and sheds was when the gates were open for deliveries.

JACK LOOKS

BACK JACK JOHNSON

All deliveries of household goods such as bread, milk, ice and groceries were made via the house driveway.

The Slades soft drink man called with his twohorse, iron-rimmed, wooden-wheeled wagon.

He parked near the driveway in the bluestone block gutter which ran down McCrae Street alongside huge, rough grassed nature strips dotted with red gum re-growth.

He wore a full leather apron with a shoulder pad on the right side for carrying the wooden crates, which usually contained a dozen bottles of

lemonade or a dozen mixed flavours.

Sometimes his apron had a built-in cash pocket and a docket-book holder. Other times, when wearing a plain apron, he carried a separate cash bag on a strap over his shoulder.

He would enter through the large iron gates to collect the crate of empty bottles and pick up the new order.

The wagon was always fully loaded and the cases were made with openings between the wooden slats, to make it easy to see what variety of drink was in each crate.

It was many years before plastic crates would be invented.

We could not afford manufactured drinks at that time, but when we went to Grandma Doherty’s around in Langhorne Street she made us a drink called raspberry vinegar, which is what the men drank on the farms when they were harvesting the hay and building haystacks.

We kids reckoned it was good stuff.

The first manufactured soft drink I ever remember in our house was before one Christmas.

Nipper must have started his first job in the office of the Repatriation Department in the Victoria Barracks in St Kilda Road.

Tarax had just come on the market and he had bought himself a half-dozen mixed flavours.

There was the bright crimson red vintage which I think was raspberry and the bright yellow which was pineapple something, creamy soda which was brown like cola beer, and other exotic names and colours.

We did not yet have an ice chest so the only cool place he could find to store them was in the lounge-dining room in the open brick fire place.

He kept the door locked and only let his mates in.

He was like a miser with bottles of gold.

BUILT-IN WARDROBES Inspector Narelle Beer says she loves her job. 155271 “There’s a lot to do with prevention and there’s a lot to do with having other options on the table.

“I’m meeting so many new people, I’m sticking cards everywhere so I don’t lose names and contacts.

“I’ve been really welcomed. I really appreciate that.”

She said alcohol harm reduction was “something that’s dear to me”.

“Drugs and alcohol are a significant driver of crime,” she said.

“As the liquor licensing inspector, that will certainly be one of my focuses, to ensure that those that do have liquor licences are complying with those licences, particularly when considering the amenity of the area and how the sale of the alcohol and the use of the alcohol is impacting.”

Insp Beer said she’d like to look at how police engage with young people.

Picture: GARY SISSONS “And how we can grow and develop and provide opportunities for our youth,” she said.

Combatting family violence is constantly front of mind, she said, referring to an email she received from a young woman who’d “been engaged with police in relation to a family violence incident”.

“She’d taken the time to write in to say ‘I’ve dealt with numerous police over this journey and everyone has been really professional and really empathetic ... I was really scared of my partner and he’s now out of the picture and for the first time in a long time I feel safe at night’,” she said.

“The impact that had on my members ... they felt really, really proud of themselves.

“This young woman talked about the fact that she told other people about that experience and their confidence in coming in to report a matter had grown.

“That’s such a rewarding job for us.”

Horses initially drew Inspector Narelle Beer towards a police force career.

“In 1974 I was in Deniliquin and I saw a parade down the main street and there was mounted branch members from the New South Wales police,” she said.

“I was a farmer’s daughter and I liked horses.

I said ‘dad I want to be in the police force, I want to ride horses’.

“So I joined the police force in 1988 and I’ve ridden horses all my life - but I’ve never ridden horses in the police force.”

Insp Beer took on the Greater Dandenong Local Area Commander job six weeks ago, stepping into Inspector Bruce Kitchen’s shoes.

After starting her career at St Kilda Road she spent a couple of years at Dandenong Police Station from 1991.

“It helps to have some geographical bearings,” she said.

“But it’s changed an awful lot.

“I remember being a young constable driving from Dandenong to Cranbourne and just having all of these paddocks and open spaces.

“That’s not there anymore.

“It’s just such a vibrant and multicultural area now with so many great spaces for people to meet and greet and play and eat.”

From Dandenong she went to Glen Waverley, the Major Collision Investigation Unit, CIU, Computer Crime Squad, professional standards command and more.

Most recently she was the City of Port Phillip Local Area Commander.

“I’m really lucky, I love my job,” she said.

Insp Beer has about 150 officers under her command. Youth, drugs and alcohol, and recidivism are her main focuses.

“I’m also really keen to enhance and build on the really great partnerships that Bruce Kitchen already had up and going,” she said.

“I want to look at having joint approaches to how we make the City of Greater Dandenong a greater place to be.

“That’s not always enforcement.

Spoken word artist Abdul Hammoud with his notebook. 155211

1221731-DJ12-16

Dandenong’s Abdul Hammoud has a story to share.

“I perform spoken word, which is kind of like hip hop meets classical poetry,” he said.

“I was one of the kids in class who was bullied.

I took to writing raps - bad ones!

“As I grew up a friend of mine showed me a spoken word video on YouTube and I said ‘this is awesome, I think I can do this’.”

Mr Hammoud performed for the first time at age 18 and “it’s terrifying, it was horrible” but he’s learnt to embrace the fear.

“I try to remind myself why I’m there,” he said.

“I have a story. I have my experiences that I want to share.

“I find comfort in my writing. I find comfort in showing other people how to write.”

The 24-year-old will perform and teach in Dandenong on Saturday 18 June as part of the Emerging Writers’ Festival’s first visit to Greater Dandenong.

Mr Hammoud will help budding writers to get a start at the Emerging Writers Intensive at Dandenong Library from 11am to 2pm.

He’ll take to the stage for Off the Map and Into the Stars at Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

“I’m fairly informal about it and that’s why I like teaching it,” he said.

“It’s more about getting them to open up and be artistic in the first place.”

Mr Hammoud wrote one of his favourite pieces about three years ago while he was on tour in the US. “It was the first time I’d been away from my family for that long,” he said.

“I forgot what a home-cooked meal tasted like.

I forgot what it’s like to sit down and chat with my dad.

“It’s about who my mother is to me and who my father is to me. Who they are and how they made me.

“I work on things when they come to me - usually at 3am.

Refugees’ diet will bite

By CASEY NEILL Could someone live on nothing but rice, flour, lentils, chick peas, sardines and kidney beans?

That’s the diet of a Syrian refugee and what the Reverend Jeffrey Parker from St James Anglican Church in Dandenong will eat for a week.

He’s signed up for the Refugee Week Act for Peace Ration Challenge which will run from 19 to 25 June to show refugees that people are with them, not against them.

Reverend Parker said the experience would open his eyes to what it was like for refugees to survive on rations.

“It will be tough, I think,” he said.

“But it’s only for one week, whereas the people in the refugee camps have to do it every week with no hope in sight.”

His ration pack includes the same rations that a Syrian refugee living in Jordan receives from Act for Peace, plus extra flour and rice to represent the food coupons the UN and other organisations sometimes distribute.

Rev Parker will live on 1920 grams of rice, 400g flour, 170g lentils, 85g dried chick peas, 125g tinned sardines, 400g tinned kidney beans and 300 millilitres of vegetable oil for the week.

“That’s it. No meat, coffee or alcohol,” he said.

He will collect donations for his efforts, which will go to support refugees.

“The money you give will help provide urgently needed food rations, healthcare and education to help give Syrian refugees the strength they need to cope,” he said.

“It will also help many other refugees around the world to build safe, just and dignified lives, now and in the future.”

A $67 donation can pay for a hygiene parcel, including soap, nappies and toothbrushes, while $139 can provide food rations for a refugee for six months.

Just $279 can provide an entire year’s worth of rations for a refugee, and $841 is enough to provide food rations for a family of six for six months.

Visit http://actforpeace.rationchallenge.org. au/fundraisers/jeffreyparker to donate.

In Brief Banking on a good move O’Brien Real Estate has finally re-opened the doors to a prominent Dandenong building.

It’s set up shop in the former Bendigo Bank building at Lonsdale and Clow streets.

Greater Dandenong Council bought 282 Lonsdale Street in 2007 “for strategic purposes”.

Bendigo Bank vacated in October 2014 to move into the Dandenong Civic Centre, and the council approved the O’Brien lease last October.

“Those old enough would know the verandah housed the giant Santa every Christmas,” O’Brien general manager Jason Mudford said.

“O’Brien hopes to turn some Irish luck on the site when we officially open the doors on Monday 13 June, and coincidentally this is O’Brien’s 13th office.”

Struggle to make ends meet

An Australian-first study will shine a spotlight on how Greater Dandenong residents juggle their income.

The Brotherhood of St Laurence is investigating how people living in low and moderate-income households in the municipality - bringing in less than $80,000 before tax - manage ups and downs in their earnings.

Those who take part in Spinning Plates will have an hour-long interview and complete an online survey each fortnight for four months.

Brotherhood research and policy centre senior research fellow Dr Marcus Banks said international studies showed people with volatile incomes faced increased financial risks as they tried to make ends meet.

“We know very little about how much household incomes vary from payday to payday, how many households are affected, how they cope or what kinds of financial ‘juggling’ is done.”

Each participant will receive a $260 Coles voucher. Visit www.bsl.org.au/spinningtheplates for more information.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2016

Health is a key issue in Hotham Ahead of the Saturday 2 July Federal Election, Journal reporter CASEY NEILL is catching up with the key candidates for the three seats where Greater Dandenong residents will cast their votes.

Here’s what Labor Hotham incumbent Clare O’Neil, Liberal candidate George Hua and Greens Party hopeful James Bennett had to say.

Hotham MP Clare O’Neil.

more funding,” she said.

“Those communities have large migrant populations.

“Education is the absolute key to getting their kids a great start in life.”

Ms O’Neil represented that patch for three years as a Greater Dandenong councillor, including a mayoral term.

“After I’d finished on council - I was studying law at the same time - I decided that I wanted to live a life before going into politics,” she said.

She went to the US and completed a masters at Harvard University before returning and working in business.

“I really believe that business is a really important capability to have in the parliament,” she said.

“It’s an experience that millions of Australians have but not a lot of members of parliament have.”

She spent a year living in north-east Arnhem Land to “understand more about the situation for Aboriginal Australians” before being elected in 2013.

“I absolutely love talking to people and going to events and hearing about the concerns of people, and then advocating for their concerns,” she said.

“It was a bit stressful last time because I had a newborn baby.

“That’s something all working parents grapple with.

“Being in politics is a bit of a family business.

You can’t do that without a lot of family support.”

Liberal candidate George Hua said he came to Australia seeking education and a better life.

He arrived from Shanghai, China, in 2007 to study computer science at Monash University.

He now calls Clayton home and is senior software engineer with a leading electronic trading brokerage.

Mr Hua said he understood first-hand the need to build relationships and co-operation with other countries and strongly supported the free trade agreements with China, Japan and Korea.

Greens candidate James Bennett, 39, helps students with disabilities to engage with their studies as an education access worker in the university and TAFE sector.

He’s an active member of his community through his local Baptist church.

“I want to see a society that treats asylum seekers with compassion,” he said.

“It is not illegal to seek asylum in Australia and

we need to treat them with dignity and respect.

“Manus Island and Nauru need to be closed down.”

Mr Bennett said Australia’s foreign aid spending had this year fallen to 22 cents in every 100 dollars.

“A wealthy nation such as Australia can and must do better by the world’s poor,” he said.

“Foreign aid spending should be at 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income or 70 cents in every 100 dollars.”

Like Ms O’Neil, he spoke about the impact of the “Medicare co-payment by stealth” through the index freeze, and said he wanted Australia to move away from burning coal.

“Transitioning to clean energy will create local jobs in Hotham and a future we can look forward to with hope and optimism,” he said.

Mr Bennett said reducing growing inequality in society was a key election issue.

“Corporate tax avoidance by large multinational corporations is rife in Australia, and it needs to be addressed to enable the government to provide the services people need and deserve,” he said. “The Greens will phase out negative gearing. It clearly benefits the wealthy and means that many ordinary Australians ... are locked out of the property market.”

Clare O’Neil kept Hotham in ALP hands following party stalwart Simon Crean’s retirement at the 2013 election.

There was a 6.7 per cent swing to the Liberal Party after preferences were distributed, but Ms O’Neil still holds a 7.3 per cent margin in the ‘safe Labor’ seat.

“I don’t even think about that,” she said.

“The primary thing is not to win the election. It’s to give people really good quality representation.”

Hotham includes Springvale South and parts of Keysborough, Noble Park and Springvale and has had an ALP representative since 1980.

“Because Labor’s been in opposition, inevitably my achievements are preventing bad things from happening rather than making good things happen,” Ms O’Neil said.

“I stood up against cuts to pensions, health costs that would have risen, cuts to family payments that would have hurt 8000 families around Hotham ... ” She said a voter survey identified health as the number one issue for the electorate.

“People are talking about the rising costs of looking after their health in basic ways - GP, medicines, pathology testing,” she said.

She said the subsidy the government gave to doctors to keep them bulk billing had been “frozen for some time” and that some were saying they’d have to charge up to $14 per GP visit.

“Labor would unfreeze the rebate,” she said.

Education is also a hot topic, Ms O’Neil said.

“Labor wants to implement the Gonski reforms, which will see every school in that pocket of the electorate (Greater Dandenong) get a lot

A judge has bristled at a mere carless-driving charge against a driver who veered onto the wrong side of the road and collided head-on with a postie’s motorcycle.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard the man clipped the bike’s rear end on Kingston Road on 26 November.

Passers-by gave the writhing postie first aid but the accused stopped only briefly, then “s*** myself and just left” without giving his contact details or being drug or alcohol tested.

He later told police he had been distracted by passengers “acting like children” in the car.

The judge was “staggered” that the accused was facing a careless driving charge - “the lowest form of an offence of this type”.

“It puts the entire judicial system into disrepute.”

The accused also pleaded guilty to a charge of drug-driving in Hampton Park on 9 November.

The case was adjourned for police prosecutors to consider ramping-up the charges.

An Aussie actor is the new owner of a prominent Dandenong home that seemed set for demolition.

John Sheerin paid just over $1.7 million for 164 Foster Street at auction on Saturday 28 May, McLennan Real Estate said, and plans to retain the 1890s home.

The Edwardian-style house, across the road from Dandenong Plaza on the corner of McCrae Street, was promoted as ideal for residential development, a restaurant or medical centre.

Malaysian chefs got a taste for Greater Dandenong through a produce and dining tour.

Meat and Livestock Australia country manager Rose Yong, who is based in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, vowed to be Springvale’s biggest advocate following the Wednesday 8 June visit.

“I can’t believe I have been coming to Melbourne for so long and haven’t been here,” she said.

“Every Chinese visitor to Melbourne will want to visit here.”

The Victorian Agribusiness Council (VAC) hosted the week-long Red Majesty Chefs Tour.

They started their day in Greater Dandenong with a visit to the Melbourne Barra fish farm in Bangholme, where they watched a fish feeding, tasted smoked eel and collected fresh barramundi, cod, silver perch and abalone for their lunch.

Goat milk producer and processor Caprilac in Keysborough was the next destination.

They tasted and collected powdered goat’s milk samples to try in a traditional Asian curdled milk custard dessert.

Foodies Elizabeth and Angie Chong joined the tour in Springvale for lunch at My Cambodia, a tea ceremony at Milan Teahouse and a short walking tour.

The chefs marvelled at the variety of produce on offer, particularly fresh Asian vegetables, meat and seafood.

Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre executive chef Richmond Lim said Springvale was “a playground for chefs”.

Greater Dandenong Council’s economic development co-ordinator Paula Brennan hopes the chefs will return home as vocal advocates for Springvale.

“The profile of Greater Dandenong as a food manufacturing hub has been heightened and only time will tell of the potential tourism returns for Springvale through these highly influential connections,” she said.

“Additionally, the strengthened relationships with both the VAC representative and the Kuala Lumpur Meat and Livestock Australia representative will provide ongoing opportunities for local food producers, processors as well as their supply chain.”

Youth talent is tapped

Reserve lake hasn’t croaked

By CASEY NEILL A youth outreach service is putting young talent on stage to promote community inclusion.

Promote, Revive, Inspire and Motivate for Progressive Outcomes in Australia (PRIMPOA) ran a performing arts talent show at Noble Park Community Centre on Saturday 4 June.

The group’s president Anthony Tuillah said about 30 people performed in two shows - the first encouraging participation and the second a competition.

“We are using their talent to raise awareness of the issues youth face today,” he said.

“Two of our clients are currently in prison.

Some of them got involved in drugs.

“We had their music that we played that day.

“It was very sad.

“We had a lady speaking on drugs and alcohol.”

Future talent shows - to be held monthly once funding is secured - will feature Q and A sessions with experts on youth issues.

Mr Tuillah said the young people could also provide answers.

“Sometimes, they have the solution and it’s good hearing from them as well, to see where they’re lacking support,” he said.

“They can see that they’re not just alone or abandoned, but they’re also part of the contribution.”

“They are all future leaders of tomorrow.

“It’s all about using talents and skills to be able to transform the community, transform an individual.”

The events will also raise funds for homeless young people.

“We’re going to be having a sport tournament as well,” Mr Tuillah said.

PRIMPOA has two recording studios, and is moving into movie production as well.

“Most of the kids come and record and sometimes do their dance practice with us as well,” he said.

“We see our numbers are increasing, in people who are ready or wanting to share their talent..”

There are plans to add a young women’s movement, to share skills and provide information about issues like domestic violence and sexual harassment.

Frederick Wachter Reserve is no longer home to a pristine lake - it’s a functional wetland attracting native animals and birds.

Resident David Hearse contacted the Journal about the Keysborough reserve, labelling it a “shemozzle”.

“We’ve lived here for over 40 years now,” he said.

“They built a nice lake there with a water feature. I haven’t been there since the kids grew up.

“When I retired, I started walking again.

The whole feature is just full of reeds. It’s disgraceful.”

But a Greater Dandenong Council spokesperson explained that the lake Mr Hearse referred to was built in 1983 and done away with in 2005.

It needed drinking water added to maintain it, so the council looked for a more sustainable water feature.

The bluestone pond edge became a softer edge with wetland plantings, and stormwater was fed into the ponds.

The spokesperson explained that the native reeds and grasses might look messy but formed a critical part of a wetland ecosystem.

The council’s parks unit completes weed control, pruning, litter collection, indigenous plantings and water quality monitoring to maintain and increase habitat.

The wetlands now act as a natural filter for pollution, provide habitat for animals, and support indigenous plants.

Wachter Reserve has four of Melbourne’s 13 frog species - the tiny common froglet, brown tree frog, eastern banjo frog and spotted marsh frog.

Froglet calls can be heard year-round - the ‘crick-crick-crickt’ is often mistaken for a cricket. he banjo frog’s ‘bok-bok’ mating call can be heard from October to December. Visitors can subsequently spot the white foam nests in which they lay eggs.

NEW PARK AT TIMBERTOP

A QUALIT Y PROJECT BY

14 DANDENONG JOURNAL Monday, 13 June, 2016

1231105-KC24-16

The long awaited Neighbourhood Park is coming soon to Timbertop Estate, Officer, with works commencing.

The two hectare park, located in the heart of the estate, will be just one of many places to relax on the weekend at Timbertop, including the popular Timber Mill Café.

Offering something for everyone, the park will include picturesque walking tracks, playground equipment for the kids, barbeque facilities and picnic area for Sunday lunches, and a large kickabout area for sport lovers.

It has walking paths surrounded by native planting so visitors can go for a leisurely stroll and take in stunning views at various lookout points on the trail.

Completion of the park is expected to be late 2016, just in time for summer.

Ben and Sarah Manelski are building their home at Timbertop and are looking forward to enjoying the new park with their daughters.

“The girls love to get outside - they love to play and run around so it’ll be great to have the park,” Sarah said.

With places to explore and entertain in a safe, friendly community, Timbertop is more than just a land estate, it’s a way of life.

Stay up to date with what else is changing at Timbertop Estate on the Facebook page - www.facebook.com/timbertopestate or visit timbertopestate.com.au.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

First steps for life after school

By CASEY NEILL Dandenong students took an inspiring look at the study and work options ahead of them.

Dandenong High School teacher Michael Ferguson ran the Pathways and Opportunity Week from 6 to 10 June.

“The overarching aim of the week is to expand the student knowledge of the possibilities of their own pathways, beyond the standard school to university to job,” he said.

Students took part in resume and mock-interview activities, visited the RMIT, Monash and Deakin universities, explored Greater Dandenong and had a CSIRO Laboratory experience.

Swinburne and Victoria universities gave interactive science and engineering-based presentations, and community and industry leaders spoke to students about different pathways into work.

Lawyer Jenny Tran, who works at Maurice Blackburn in Dandenong, shared her story alongside representatives from Greater Dandenong Council, South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN) and Victoria Police.

Students also heard from past students working as pilots, lifeguards and community advocates.

It was the fourth time Ms Tran shared her story at the school.

“The minute I mentioned I was a refugee the silence was golden,” she said.

“They felt really affirmed by the fact that this was someone who was born in a refugee camp, came to Australia with nothing ... and someone who has, what looks like to them, created a very successful pathway for themselves.

“What’s really lovely, I have to say, is how the girls respond to hearing me speak.

“Some of them will put their hands up and say ‘is it possible for me to be a lawyer?’.

Greater Dandenong Council youth worker Edem Edusei gets Year 10 students involved with an African chant.

She achieved an ENTER score - as the ATAR was then known - of 78.85.

“Mum was just so mad at me. I went to MacRobertson Girls’ High School,” she said.

“Comparatively, getting 78 isn’t anything to be ashamed of ... but at MacRob everybody’s aiming for the stars and expects to get 99.”

Recycling plastics company sustains quality effort

By CASEY NEILL For the second year running, Corex Plastics was among finalists for the Large Manufacturer of the Year at the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame awards.

The Dandenong company didn’t take home an award from the Thursday 9 June gala dinner but managing director Simon Whiteley was still pleased to be recognised as an exemplary manufacturer.

He said the nomination was recognition of the dedication and innovation by staff to be the best in polymer sheet production in Australia, and more specifically Melbourne’s south-east.

“Sustainable business practices aren’t about awards but the dedication of the employees, and best practice to keep us at the top of our game as market leaders and ahead of the competition,” he said.

“While the award is a public recognition, the build up to this point has been developing for many years and through the continued success of the business in a highly competitive market place.

“It is a nod to this dedication by all staff that we have been nominated in consecutive years.”

Corex was established in 1985 and is now the country’s largest manufacturer of hollow profile and solid polypropylene and HDPE sheet products, and the number one manufacturer of twin wall profile fluteboard sheet.

The company recycles up to 20 tonnes of plastic each day, and its new products have about 50 per cent recycled content.

Mr Whiteley said plastic was more recyclable than cardboard.

“We want to divert stuff away from landfill and back into the plant,” he said.

Electronic waste processor gets itself a green light A Dandenong electronic waste processor has been applauded alongside the state’s top manufacturers.

PGM Refiners was among the finalists for the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards, announced at a gala dinner on Thursday 9 June.

The awards recognise exemplary companies and individuals in the manufacturing industry.

In January, the Journal reported that PGM had launched an Australian-first fully-automat-

Monash University in Clayton.

“While all my friends were out getting drunk I was studying in the library,” she said.

Ms Tran’s parents fled post-war Vietnam, unable to see a future for their family.

“You did need to show you were from an appropriate blood line if you were applying for a job,” she said.

“My paternal grandfather was a general in the South Vietnamese army.

“He worked together with the Australians and the Americans and the French to fight against the communists.

“Dad’s family, once the communists were in power, were targeted.

“Dad, himself was in prison a handful of times starting when he was 14 years old.”

Ms Tran’s mum was five months pregnant when the pair boarded a fishing boat to freedom.

“They were at sea for five days. They were on a boat with a group of other refugees,” Ms Tran said.

She was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and about six months later the family was offered asylum in Australia.

They set up in a housing commission home in Dandenong West and lived in Dandenong North for a time.

“Eventually mum and dad saved up enough money for us to buy our first home in Springvale,” she said.

Ms Tran was too young to remember the hardest times.

“When the kids talk to me about their stories I’m so humbled by the fact that they have had direct experiences with being kept in detention, for example,” she said.

It was her dad’s lung cancer diagnosis when Ms Tran was in high school that steered her to a career in compensation.

ed electronic waste processing system that can take apart and sort up to 2500 tonnes of e-waste a year.

The BluBox machine can dismantle 300 LCDscreen TVs in an hour, compared to just two to three an hour by hand.

During the process, the plant safely extracts the potentially-hazardous liquid metal mercury from the waste.

The plastics and precious metals like gold, sil-

ver and platinum are extracted for re-use as a raw material.

“All the components, except for the mercury, are a commodity,” PGM chief technical officer Karvan Jayaweera said.

He said big-screen TVs were increasingly the television of choice since 2007 and were becoming an “emerging problem” at landfill waste sites.

Electronic waste is regarded as the fastest growing type of waste in Australia.

Bombardier’s big year has continued with a Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame award nomination.

The Dandenong-based business was a finalist for the Large Manufacturer of the Year title but lost out to Broadmeadowsbased CSL Behring at the 9 June awards ceremony.

Bombardier is the only manufacturer of both trains and trams in Australia, has more than 22 locations across the country, and designs, engineers, manufactures and maintains its vehicles in Victoria.

The company has cemented its place in the state’s manufacturing landscape over the past 60 years and works directly with more than 600 Victorian suppliers across its projects.

Its FLEXITY E-Class trams have more than 50 per cent local content, its VLocity DMU trains 66.5 per cent, and the Adelaide A-City EMU trains 68 per cent.

Bombardier now employs more than 700 people in Victoria alone.

The Journal last week reported that Bombardier Transportation 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.

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.

An announcement is expected late this year.

Robot has skills nailed

By CASEY NEILL Keysborough’s Robotic Automation is making its mark on manufacturing.

The business was a finalist in the professional services category at the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards on Thursday 9 June.

This followed a Technology Application Award win at the Endeavour Awards on Thursday 12 May with Dandenong South’s CMTP Packaging for its multi-product robotic carpentry system.

The Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame recognises exemplary companies and individuals in the manufacturing industry.

Marketing officer Peter Davis said the nomination was the company’s first, and was based on its history rather than a specific project.

He said Robotic Automation (RA) was Australian-owned and since 1988 had been working in Victoria to support the state’s manufacturing.

“Being selected as a finalist is great to boost our profile and reminds our local manufacturing community that leading technology-solutions are available on-shore to help keep their own manufacturing on-shore,” Mr Davis said.

RA is Australia’s leading supplier of robotic systems, and also provides service and maintenance, consulting and other services.

It automates repetitive tasks and processes to maximise productivity, quality, safety and efficiency while reducing damages and costs.

RA can audit a site’s automation potential and develop a 3D model to show a potential equipment solution.

The Endeavour Awards celebrate and recognise Australian manufacturers’ achievements to inspire further innovation and success.

RA’s Endeavour Award-winning multi-product robotic carpentry system tripled productivity and improved accuracy.

CMTP manufactures livestock crates, pallets and other custom packaging and approached RA

Robotic Automation group managing director Colin Wells. 155224 for automated solutions for two different timber products - vegetable storage and display crates and shipping frames to protect insulation panels.

The business was looking for a way to maintain its manufacturing competitiveness with overseas producers with lower labour costs.

Working manually with rough timber and nail guns creates workplace health and safety problems, particularly when production is highvolume, and inattention during manual work also causes product inconsistency, damage and material wastage.

RA developed, built and commissioned a single robotic solution for both products that does

the work of 13 staff.

It handles 15 different parts and performs more than 10 different automation applications in one.

“The solution is based around a robot that uses automatically interchanging gripping-tools to manufacture two very different timber products at great speed and accuracy, while interfacing with drilling, nailing and stapling machines and part-feeding machines,” RA’s award nomination said.

Robotic Automation created this high-speed, multi-function, robotic assembly for a leading custom pallet and packaging manufacturer.

A BRAND NEW, FULLY FITTED HUB OFFICE!

Top dogs win bistro award Springvale’s Greyhounds Entertainment has won a top award.

It received the Best Metro Club Bistro Award at the Community Clubs Victoria (CCV) awards on 16 April.

Dawson’s Bistro is open six days a week for lunch and seven nights for dinner, and on average caters for more than 1200 customers each week.

In its awards submission, the club said its customer base was about 70 per cent senior citizens, so the $12 seniors menu featured about 35 dishes.

“We are also the only venue in the area that provides full table service,” the submission said.

Dawson’s Bistro this year appointed a new food and beverage manager, Rocky Lui. “He has taken time to train our staff and impart his knowledge onto them and to increase their skills in this area,” the venue said.

The front of the restaurant is set up as a quiet spot for tables of two, three or four diners, while the back half can cater for larger groups.

“Customers who frequent the venue on a regular basis will also request a regular table number for them sit at,” the venue said.

The venue also highlighted its loyalty program, which earns bistro diners one point for each dollar they spend.

There are 4400 members and they can redeem the points on venue vouchers, food and beverage vouchers or Coles Myer vouchers.

Refugee Rules

By CASEY NEILL Some of the country’s newest arrivals got a taste of the Aussie sport obsession in Dandenong.

Greaves Reserve hosted migrants and refugees from AMES’s Noble Park and Dandenong sites and AFL and Netball Victoria representatives on Wednesday 1 June.

Margot Hennessey from AMES Australia said the event was part of four weeks of training for 100 young people in the Australia Youth Program.

Dandenong refugees and migrants travelled to Footscray West to learn the finer points of AFL at the AMES Cup Game On event on Wednesday 25 May. AFL stars from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds Jason Johannisen and Lin Jong were on hand to share skill tips and explain the rules.

Ms Hennessey said the football and netball program ran each year and got the new arrivals outside, having fun and learning new skills.

“They’re newly-arrived so they don’t know much about Australian Rules football, so it’s an introduction to the Australian way of life, really,” she said.

Students Veronica, Deanna, Shark Girl Madison Stewart, Tash, Anastasia and Dante.

Shark Girl inspired Dandenong North students to work hard and respect sharks.

Madison Stewart spoke at Lyndale Secondary College on Thursday 2 June through the library’s guest speaker program.

The 22-year-old underwater filmmaker is dedicated to preserving marine environments and spends much of her time travelling the world to speak about the issue.

She’s a dive master with more than 600 hours of dive time with sharks and is one of the human stars of her recent documentary Shark Girl.

Year 10 student Tameeka said Madison was an inspiring young presenter.

“Madison has worked hard and achieved so much in educating people about the true nature of sharks,” she said.

Classmate Ally said she liked Madison’s passion for her work.

“She has done so much for shark conservation but she was very humble about her achievements,” she said.

“I didn’t realise that flake was shark meat; I didn’t know that mercury in fish including sharks had implications for human health; I didn’t know that millions of sharks are killed each year just for their fins; and I didn’t know that a number of shark species, including the great white, are approaching endangered status.”

Year seven student Aleasha said she didn’t like sharks much.

“But after watching Madeline’s presentation and films my perspective has changed massively,” she said.

“I can guarantee you if you had listened to Madeline’s talk you would feel sympathy for sharks even if you still fear them.”

Classmate Lala said the things that stood out to her from Madison’s talk were “the way she was prepared to educate herself about sharks with first-hand knowledge then stand up for an unpopular cause to help an ancient species that is often treated unfairly by humans”.

A long way for Indigenous culture

By CASEY NEILL Wallara is offering video production and editing training thanks to an RACV grant.

The Dandenong-based support service for adults with disabilities has expanded its WallaraTV project with the Good Citizen Program cash.

RACV’s Susan Allen visited the Potter Street headquarters on Wednesday 25 May to check out the new computers and video equipment in the editing suite.

WallaraTV has been running since 2012 to capture stories about inclusion and lift the lid on disability.

Wallara shares the stories on social media to educate through entertainment, and raise awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disabilities.

Jay Pinkster, Wallara’s digital communications manager, said the project had come a long way.

“We have produced over 130 videos with over 50,000 views on YouTube,” he said.

Ben Van Raay and Sam Cotsworth celebrate 50,000 views on the Wallara TV YouTube channel.

“WallaraTV has also produced three 30-minute shows on Channel 31 and Foxtel.

“RACV’s support will allow us to involve Wallara service users in every level of the video production process and help us take WallaraTV to the next level.“

Noble Park students got a true taste of life in an Indigenous community in Far North Queensland.

Thanks to support from Rotary Club of Noble Park, the school sent two teachers and six students on the week-long trip to Yarrabah during April.

Principal David Rothstadt said that for some time he’d been working with Yarrabah State School, located just outside of Cairns in one of Australia’s largest Indigenous communities.

“I went up there and worked with their principal. Some of their teachers came down to see what we were doing. Some of our teachers went up there,” he said.

Mr Rothstadt then floated the idea of a student exchange.

Rotary put up more than $6000 for the trip and “that made it very, very easy for us”.

“We had to have a selection process. The kids had to write about why they would be interested in going up to Far North Queensland and learn

about Indigenous culture,” he said.

The students spent two and a half days attending classes at Yarrabah.

“That was pulling together some of the concepts that the children were learning along the way,” Mr Rothstadt said.

The students returned to the classroom on their final day in Yarrabah and visited sacred land.

“We got stories about how the lands were formed, using the dreaming stories and hearing how all of that transpired, and also lots of interpretations of the flora and fauna and how different things are used for bush tucker and bush medicine,” he said.

“Licking an ant’s bum for the flavour was an interesting enterprise!”

Mr Rothstadt said the students forged authentic relationships with the Indigenous students.

“They just shared their stories about being kids,” he said.

Mr Rothstadt is hoping to host six students from Yarrabah later in the year.

SPORT Larnie striving to reach higher

By JARROD POTTER Hoping to soar higher in her beloved gridiron, a rare state-level experience has only pushed Larnie Gubatanga to work harder.

Flying into the Victorian Eagles squad, Gubatanga, 23, from Narre Warren North, was the sole Berwick Diamond to make the state squad and made her inclusion on the big stage count.

Taking to the field in the inaugural state clash between Victoria and the ACT Monarchs and switching from running-back to slot receiver, Gubatanga took to the new position with gusto as she toiled in the less familiar role to push the Victorians to a 38-24 triumph.

The Victorians had to come from behind after trailing the Monarchs 18-24 in the second quarter but the superior legs of the visitors came to the fore to set up the 16-point victory.

“It was so interesting, as soon as we arrived on the field, had to be there 4.30.

“There was a rugby game before us and the girls were sitting and watching and were so excited,” Gubatanga said.

“We were wearing all our merchandise and it just felt all official and real - was really great.”

Gubatanga believes the Victorian vigour showed the country that the southern state is more than capable of matching it with anyone in coming national championships - whether by foot or in the air.

“How we played on the day we showed, not just NSW and ACT, but the rest of the leagues that we can not only run the ball, but pass it too and we’re a well-rounded team,” Gubatanga said.

“The first half was pretty even, I think we were tied, but the second half we were just able to punch in the win.

“Our defence held on, making sure their offence wasn’t moving anywhere, and our offence was moving the ball so well.

Gubatanga wasn’t just playing in a different

enough for the shining Diamond though as she hopes an even better Gridiron Victoria women’s season in 2017 pushes her case for another Eagles inclusion.

“It definitely makes me want to improve my own game,” Gubatanga said.

“Training with the state players and coaches makes me realise what I need to work on and makes me want to do better this season and try

again next year.”

Berwick Diamonds are on the lookout for new recruits ahead of next year’s season.

side to usual, but also different positions as she lined up as a punt-returner on occasion, setting up a touchdown with a gutsy return through the Monarch’s defence.

“I had a good return. I caught the ball which was the achievement as I don’t really catch the ball but I had a great return that set up a quick TD,” Gubatanga said.

Western force hits Vic Country

Jet Facey is ready to dive headlong into his first schoolboys national championships. 155085

Jet dives into action and shows he's flippin' good

By JARROD POTTER Flipping out isn’t usually a good idea for a sportsman ... unless you’re an up-and-coming diver like Jet Facey.

The Haileybury student dived headfirst into the sport as a school elective and found his sporting passion in the flips, twists and somersaults.

Facey, 14, from Berwick, will prepare for his state team debut later this year in Lightning Ridge in rural New South Wales for the School Sport Australia Diving Championships.

From an elective, to a passion to the 2016 Team Vic Diving Team, it’s been an incredible rise

through the ranks for Facey.

“I originally started at Haileybury because I was really into flipping back then,” Facey said.

“We have a sport we have to do each term and you have to try out for the team to get into it - I made that.

“I didn’t know much about it (diving) but I just did it and by the end of the term of doing diving at Haileybury I was invited to MSAC to try out for a team there.

“I did that for one year and had the nationals’ trials for Under-15 springboards and I finished fourth there and that’s when they invited me to the team.”

The springboard specialist has a couple of months to hone his dives - especially his favoured forward two and a half - before the championships - running from 27 August to 3 September.

Backing up performances at competitions - his fourth place finish at the All Schools Division Championships and a Ringwood diving meet where he finished second - Facey wants to push himself to the limit in pursuit of a maiden national medal.

When he’s not in the pool perfecting his dives, Facey also loves to twist and turn through the midfield for the Haileybury football team.

UNDER 18 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS ROUND 1 A SHAKY start to its title defence greeted Vic Country across the Nullarbor last Sunday.

Fighting hard for three stanzas, the final refrain emphatically belonged to Western Australia as the hosts booted nine of the last 10 goals to put Vic Country in its place 19.11 (125) to 10.4 (64).

It was fairly even throughout the day at Perth, as neither side delivered a decisive blow in the first half, but eventually the Swans started their rapid ascent away from the Victorians.

From the dying stages of the third - after Stingrays midfielder Myles Poholke jagged a goal to put the side within four points - it was all one-way traffic.

Nothing Vic Country had in the tank matched the resurgent Western Australians who show no remnants of the side that was thoroughly beaten and battered throughout last year’s carnival.

It was in stark contrast to the opening term where Vic Country held court and forced the Swans to fight it out.

Josh Battle (four goals) jagged three quick goals in the first term - on a difficult day for the Doveton/Dandenong forward.

He had support from Poholke, Sam Fowler and Geelong’s Brett Blair alongside him up front, while the streaming centremen Jarrod Berry, Tommy Jok and Will Brodie gave plenty of drive.

But such was the Western force that Vic Country assistant coach Wayne Siekman believes the Swans have bounced back from its 2015 low in an extraordinary manner.

Noble Park surged with EFL season on the line

By JARROD POTTER EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - ROUND 9 STANDING its ground against best of Balwyn’s might, Noble Park endured a monumental fightback to snare a sweet 12-point away win.

Noble Park had built a comfortable lead through the first three terms - especially on the back of an extraordinary six-goal second quarter.

The Bulls laid the foundations for success upon the mighty shoulders of Brett Dore and Kyle Martin (five goals).

Martin starred through the centre and up forward in his usual manner while Dore took to any high-marking task he was given - forward or back.

Tim Kelly and Ryan Morrison curtailed the Tigers from the other end while Vergim Faik gave it on a platter to the likes of Mitch Gent, Sam Monaghan and the indefatigable Craig Anderson.

Defensive reinforcements - in the form of recent Box Hill alumnus Liam Tobin who made the switch back to EFL this week - added another layer of depth to the Bulls’ back half alongside Morrison, Ben Giobbi and Kelly.

But despite the resolute efforts from the entire Bulls’ group ... nothing they could do would shake the Tigers loose.

Balwyn threw everything they had at the visitors in the final stanza - taking their chances through the midfield, finding space with overlap before delivering it lace-out to Nathan Gordon and Jeff Gobbells (four goals each).

Tim Harper (two goals) made amends for an earlier miss by slotting the Bulls’ first of the fourth, before the side started getting overrun.

Balwyn had it on a string through the last 20 minutes as Noble Park was left to withstand the barrage.

The frantic efforts in defence from Giobbi, Tobin, captain Sam Monaghan and Stewart Kemperman allowed the Bulls to escape time and time again before the Balwyn battering started to subside and show its weak-spots.

But throughout it all the Bulls planted their feet and dug in.

Kevin Kean and Martin combined to boot the match-sealer - crumbed from a tap and delivered with quick hands to the former AFL midfielder which made for one almighty statement when the siren blew.

It gave Noble Park another win at the Balwyn fortress - the reigning premiers’ hoin what has proven to be a happy hunting ground for the Moodemere Street boys in recent seasons.

Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty threw his hands up in pure joy after the hard-fought win as he knew how much this match meant in the context of the side’s 2016 chances.

“We’re just ecstatic today with getting the result, we knew if we come to produce an effort that we’re capable of, the results will come and they came,” Fogarty said.

“We always have belief in the strength of the group - I thought we almost had our best side in today (Saturday).

“Ziggie Alwan was missing, Piva (Wright)

Vergim Faik clunks a big pack grab in Noble Park’s win over Balwyn. 155461 came back and played his first game and worked hard.

“You could see he was underdone and eventually had to put him in when it was season on the line - game on the line sort of thing - to come down here and play the reigning premiers.”

Fogarty couldn’t praise his battering ram Anderson highly enough, as he continued to light up the competition and give the side someone to follow into the trenches.

“Ando was sensational,” Fogarty said.

“That’s vintage Ando - we don’t get to see too much of it anymore simply because we shouldn’t have to rely on a 36-year-old player to be our best week-in, week-out, but today he turned the clock back didn’t he.”

Picture: JARROD POTTER

Noble Park improves its record to 5-4 and hoists itself to fourth on the Division 1 ladder.

Hosting Vermont on Saturday afternoon will be another top-tier showdown for Fogarty’s Bulls as it looks to dismantle the top-of-the-ladder visitors to the Bullring.

Tobin back to the Bullring

By JARROD POTTER LIAM Tobin bid farewell to the Victorian Football League (VFL) this week to return to where it all began - Noble Park.

After over 100 senior and reserves matches with Box Hill Hawks - including the 2013 VFL premiership victory - Tobin, 24, called time on his VFL career as it was simply his time to move on.

He said his farewells to the club he called home for five seasons, before packing up and slotting straight into the Bulls’ defence for its Eastern Football League (EFL) round 9 clash.

“I had a clause in my contract at the VFL and if I wasn’t feeling happy or feeling I was getting the most out of my footy they’d let me go, so I made that decision on Tuesday night and told the boys,” Tobin said. “From now on I’m at Noble as it’s not good to go back and forth (between VFL and local footy), so I made the decision.

“To consistently play for them (Noble Park) it’s been about seven years now, so it’s good to be back and good to see some of the boys I’ve played with in juniors still here and have played 200-plus games.

“It’s fantastic and to get a win is even better.”

That good start for Tobin came on Saturday as he played a crucial part in the Bulls’ 12-point triumph over the Tigers.

Reuniting with junior team mates Tyson Mitchem, Vergim Faik and Kyle Martin - this time in the senior ranks - Tobin excelled down back as he took some of the harder tasks and flourished in his return to blue and gold.

There was no easing into his role either; Tobin and the Bulls’ backmen were under siege throughout most of the second half, but they stuck it out to claim the side’s most important win yet in 2016.

“Balwyn when they got their running game up they were quite dangerous, but credit to the boys,” Tobin said. “Stoppages were excellent and just fought it out - they kicked two or three but we were able to respond and it showed really good resilience and building as a team.”

He thinks finals are definitely in the equation for the Bulls this season, but a lot will be determined in the next few weeks with some tough challenges ahead.

Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty was thrilled to get Tobin through the doors - for good this time - and fondly remembered how talented the defender has been all along.

“He’s a really good player - I remember about 2011 when he was at Box Hill, just embarked on a VFL career, and we had him for a week down at Blackburn and we played him at half-back and he was outstanding then too,” Fogarty said. “He’s just a really, really talented footballer as well as setting up the back line.

“He’s a terrific acquisition.”

Dandenong Thunder stung with first NPL 2 East draw

By JARROD POTTER NPL 2 VICTORIA - ROUND 16 THE streak is over.

Dandenong Thunder’s spree to start 2016 has been capped at 15 after Whittlesea Ranges held the visiting Dandy boys to an intense 3-3 draw.

From the heights of 2-0 up early on - following a pair of great goals via Veton Korcari (26’) and Kristian Sarkies (48’) - Dandenong was left to endure a nightmare second half.

The first for the Ranges was mired in controversy as free kicks and a penalty kick was awarded against Faisal Sakhizada. to give the hosts their opener.

Dandenong copped the brunt of the referee’s whistle throughout the afternoon, with five yellow cards going in the book when the dust settled.

The hosts booted three goals in the blink of an eye to leave the visitors staring down the barrel of defeat for the first time in 2016.

The Ranges charged to boot two more in rapid succession, but Thunder had an ace left up its 38 DANDENONG JOURNAL Monday, 13 June, 2016

sleeve.

Enter Brandon Barnes (85’).The mercurial Englishman divided the Ranges’ defence to boot the Thunder back to level pegging.

Korcari almost stole the victory with a dying minutes’ header, but it fizzed over the crossbar, leaving the result deadlocked at the final whistle.

“Was like a boxing match and at the end of the day I enjoyed it,” Thunder coach Huss Skenderovic said. “They had two breaks, played counterattacking football similar to us - broke, scored, scored again and it was mayhem for last 20 minutes as we tried to catch up.

“The best teams in the world drop games though - no team ever wins 100 per cent.

“To go away and play under those circumstances and to come away with a point there against a top team like that, we’re still happy.”

Dandenong City fared similarly against Bendigo City, forced into accepting a 2-2 draw at home.

Luke Burgess (13’) and Dario Matkovic (77’) booted City’s goals as the match heated up towards the end, with three yellow cards given out

for the hosts in the last 20 minutes.

Athlete learns how to step up Hoping her summer success leads into next athletics season, Springvale Little Athletics Centre track and field star Emmanuella Chaliker leaped into the record books.

Chaliker, 12, from Cranbourne, only got into the sport on the suggestion of a teacher at St Joseph's... which turned into a fatefully brilliant idea.

A hop, step and a jump later, Chaliker earned her inaugural state gold medal on her local track with a 10.48m leap at Little Athletics Victoria State Track and Field Championships in March.

The harsh conditions - harsh rain and buffeting winds at the track - didn't faze the junior champion as she out-leapt the competition.

When she heard the number called out by the marshals, she was left stunned and with no one surpassing her best attempt, Chaliker was speechless when she accepted her first state title.

“I didn’t believe it at first, but I was happy,” Chaliker said.

“State gold in triple jump, my first state gold, so it was really good.”

It’s been a rapid rise in the sport for Chaliker, who hadn’t thought about competing athletically at all two years ago.

But how quickly the tables turn and in her case, how success can just fall in your lap with enough hard work.

“About two years - a teacher from my primary school - St Joseph’s - told me I had talent and I tried out for Springvale Little Athletics club,” Chaliker said.

“I mainly like triple jump - ’cause it’s fun and easy - and some 200m events, hurdles and sprints.”

Her coach Corey Pendry from Pendry’s Development Squad was thrilled to see Chaliker up the

ante at the state meet.

From joining her squad to becoming one of its best and brightest members in a heartbeat, Pendry could not have been prouder of her star triple-jumper's massive personal best in the most technical field event.

“It was a big shock to everyone when Emmanuella won state because the week before that at the Springvale meet she jumped 10.20m, then jumped another 28-centimetre PB at state to pull it out of the woodwork,” Pendry said.

“In two weeks she cracked a 10, not once but three times, so she peaked at the right time.

“At that stage I was watching other athletes and ran over to congratulate her ... so it was just an amazing day for her to actually win for the first time ever.

“Most amazing experience she’s ever had as she finished second at regionals - I think she beat the state champion that won last year, so that was an amazing effort too.”

Rounding out the success, Chaliker finished fifth in the 70m sprint final, sixth in the 100m dash to round out her stellar meet at Casey Fields Regional Athletics Track.

She’s also the Killester College school athletics year seven champion and proudly showed off a sash for her achievements to cap off the 2015-16 summer athletics season.

It will be hard to improve on her 2016 summer record, but Chaliker hopes to carry her strong form into 2017 as she eyes off further success in the track and field arena.

Chaliker wanted to thank her coach Corey Pendry for helping her improve throughout the season and reach the top of the podium.

Fanta runs away

FREE 25 POINT SERVICE

MAJOR SERVICE & TUNE-UP

By JASON ADAMS Rob Britton's kennel achieved a great feat taking five of 12 races last Thursday at Sandown Park.

Although they were all winning chances, kennel representative Peter Riley was taken aback.

“It came as a bit of a surprise - we knew Fanta Bale was a good chance but we thought the others would need a bit of luck.

“For a metropolitan meeting I know the Daillys have had some big nights - I’ve been working with Rob for nine years and we’ve never had a city meeting like that,” Riley said.

Rob Britton flew out of the country last Sunday, USA bound for a month long trip to look after his property in Abilene, Kansas.

“His son Tim has been working on the property over there - when he comes home to renew his visa Rob heads over to look after it.”

The Rob Britton team is one of the largest in the state but while the boss is gone it’s business as usual at his Lara kennel.

Fanta Bale surged to claim the Maiden final.

“We have Mick Stringer from Tasmania over here at the moment to check the dogs before and after they race to make sure they’re fit and healthy.”

Fanta Bale highlighted the kennel’s five winners when she produced a phenomenal effort to take out the Maiden final in 29.81.

She burst onto the scene last Sunday winning

by seven lengths on debut in fast time.

“It’s been a long time since a dog gave me goose bumps. Last Sunday we saw what she can do when given a clear run but the way she weaved through the field last night after taking a few bumps was incredible.

“She’s done everything right from the moment she’s arrived. "
