Blackburn’s footy dream just got bigger

Builder ‘insolvent’

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Collapsed boutique builder Botanic Homes had been trading insolvent for several months before going into voluntary administration in early May, its appointed administrator has said.

PKF Melbourne administrator Jason Stone said the Hallam company, which owes up to $5 million to 250 creditors including customers and tradies, was likely to be liquidated in coming months.

A meeting to decide Botanic Homes’ future has been postponed until 31 August while works on some unfinished homes is completed.

Mr Stone said PKF, under Botanic Homes’ builders registration, has offered to complete 12

near-finished homes.

Three customers declined the offer.

About 48 customers, including seven who had paid deposits to Botanic Homes and building had not started, were making claims to state insurer Victorian Managed Insurance Authority.

During liquidation, priority would be given to secured creditors, such as banks, employees as well as several suppliers who had security over Botanic Homes’ property.

Unsecured creditors such as unpaid tradies - one who has told Star News he is owed about $200,000 - are further down the list.

Mr Stone said Botanic Homes directors Robert Bender and Craig Garvey were among the listed creditors.

The pair had claimed unsecured loans they contributed to “some working capital difficulties”.

“They are listed down as a creditor but we wouldn’t be able to assess their claim until such time as I was in a position to pay unsecured creditors,” Mr Stone said.

The directors’ claim could be used to offset any prosecution for insolvent trading debts against them, Mr Stone said.

“We do believe there was some trading insolvent but it’s difficult to prove.

“From what we have in our possession, the records we have reviewed... it appears the company has been insolvent in the last few months leading up to the appointment and there is a claim of insolvent trading,” he said.

The onus was on Mr Bender and Mr Garvey to prove justifiable defences, such as attempting to have a third party acquire or buy a substantial stake in the business.

As liquidators, PKF could prosecute the directors to claim any new debts incurred while trading insolvent.

The question was whether it was “commercially viable” to seek the monies from the directors.

Both directors held properties but Mr Stone expected there were “substantial claims” against the assets by lenders and secured suppliers - some who have lodged caveats over the property.

“We have to assess if we’ll be throwing good money after bad.”

Hooker’s big love for her body

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

“I’m not ashamed of my job, but I know others think differently, that’s why I don’t get around telling everyone,” she said.

Carmen is one of several girls at the GOE who have disabled clients.

Actually, it’s a topic she is quite passionate about.

“There is no reason why you should deny somebody such a basic right (sex).

“It’s just sex, man, it’s just sex for crying out loud,” she said.

“Disabled men, for example, who come in here, they don’t feel they have the right to talk to women or to ask them for a relationship or they don’t feel like they deserve emotional closeness or physical closeness – and why?

“Why, why, why not?” Carmen said.

“What’s so different between me and him?

“I am with people who have no use of their legs or who have a mental disability, or some people come here with mental health problems, depression and they still want that closeness.”

Carmen said disabled clients were the best to be with because they left “significantly happier and in a better mental state than when they came in”.

She said: “At least I’ve done some good in the world.

“All types of men come in here, every man is a candidate.

“If you have 10 male friends I guarantee at least half of them have been into a brothel with some regularity, and I would say two out of that 10 come very often.”

When asked how she feels about being with married men, Carmen said she didn’t push them

When asked if she had ever seen a client outside the brothel, Carmen said: I got recognised once, oh my gosh, let me tell you something, they don t make pills for that kind of heart attack. 153114 Picture: GARRY SISSONS up the stairs and in the brothel door.

“They come here of their own accord and I don’t deserve to be judged because if it wasn’t me it would be another girl, it would be an affair, it would be someone on Tinder.

“I’m just one of the many options that married man could have taken, it just so happened that that night it was me,” Carmen said.

“At the end of the day it’s safe sex practices – I use a condom, I don’t emotionally get involved with him – it’s just sex, that’s the only thing that it is.

“He’s not taking diseases home to his wife and children and some wives know and some don’t care.

“Some wives are busy having children and some wives are disabled or too old or don’t want to do it anymore.”

She is the largest prostitute at the GOE - but that’s the way she likes it.

“The most erogenous part of the body is the brain and people forget that.

“Confidence is sexually attractive no matter your size.”

Prostitution has taught ‘Carmen’ how to love her 130 kilogram body.

“Before I became a prostitute I was very jealous of thinner girls, but this industry made me really love myself,” Carmen, a working girl at Garden of Eden (GOE) in Dandenong told The Journal.

“I love my body, I know I’m chubby but I’m beautiful.”

The 22-year-old, who grew up in northern Africa has worked in the commercial sex industry since she was 19 and had just $2 in her bank account.

Carmen already has seven brothels under her belt and moved to Australia four years ago to study chemistry and science at a Melbourne University.

With bills and rent to pay and dwindling working hours, Carmen replied to an online advertisement for prostitutes.

“I had never met a stripper or a working girl but when you don’t have a lot of money you start to consider a lot of options. My parents back home don’t know what I do,” Carmen said.

“I remember looking up the laws and I called a parlour one day and they were so nice.

“I thought it’s not so scary.”

At 19 years old, Carmen wasn’t a virgin but she hadn’t had much experience.

“I didn’t have a huge sexual life before I entered the industry, I felt I was worthless in my private sex life, I felt undesirable, but when I started to work I could see men were turned on by me.

“I grew confidence and got into my role play - I have very few insecurities now.”

Carmen has been married to her 21-year-old husband, also a university student, for one year and said her sex life with her husband was “really good”.

“I can be totally free with him, I just am the way I am with him, but at work you put on a face and a certain look, but that’s not to say I don’t have fun and enjoy my time with my clients, but I love him beyond words,” she said.

“Spending one hour with someone every two weeks is not the same as your husband, the person that turns on the electric blanket, cooks you dinner, looks after your home and cat, and is there emotionally for you, it’s a totally different ball game.”

Carmen estimates about 50 to 60 per cent of working girls are married or in long-term relationships and that about 70 per cent of those girls’ partners would know what they did.

“You can absolutely do this job and be married and if anything it’s taken a lot of money stress away, which is one of the biggest stresses for couples,” she said.

“I don’t want to sit on my ass and get benefits, I have a job and I’m trying to get my life on track.

“I want to achieve the best of my ability, I don’t want to be handed a life and frankly I’m proud of the things I’ve achieved with this job and the flexibility and freedom this job offers.”

Carmen sends money to her husband’s family overseas to help them build a house and said once they’d ticked that box she would start saving to buy a house of her own.

But Carmen has chosen not to tell her in-laws how she makes her money because she fears they wouldn’t take it if they knew.

“I don’t want them to think I am making a huge sacrifice, which I don’t consider it to be.

Crime rise blame on MP

In Brief Charges after night assault

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Casey's soaring crime rate - up more than 15 per cent on a per capita basis in the past year - has sparked a political row on police numbers.

Opposition police spokesman Ed O’Donohue in response to the official police statistics’ release on 16 June took special aim at Cranbourne MP Jude Perera for “failing to demand more police on the beat”.

“If Jude Perera can’t get more police in Cranbourne then he is failing the most basic duty as a state MP.” According to the 12-month statistics, weapons and explosives offences rose 60 per cent, in raw figures, up from 513 to 800.

Other sharply-rising categories included drugs, burglaries, breach of orders, robbery, arson

and stalking and harassment.

Family violence continued to rise, increasing by 9.2 per cent on a per capita basis.

Highest crime rises occurred in Endeavour Hills (44.9 per cent), Doveton (21.9 per cent) and Cranbourne (21.2 per cent).

Mr O’Donohue said full-time police officers in Casey had dropped under the Andrews government from 156.89 FTE to just 149.89 FTE in the midst of a “spate of carjackings, home invasions, drive-by shootings and gang violence”.

Mr Perera returned fire, saying the statistics clearly showed police targeted more crime, made more arrests and charged more offenders.

The State Government recently announced a $596 million public safety package for an extra 406 sworn police, including 300 more on the frontline in the next two years.

More than 100 specialist police will join the

anti-gang taskforce, public order response teams, forensics and special operations group.

There was also funding for an armoured vehicle, bomb robots and a specialist training facility.

“Unfortunately Mr O’Donohue and his Liberal colleagues left Casey and its residents high and dry when it came to community safety,” Mr Perera said.

“We are finishing the job they wouldn’t.”

Detective Senior Sgt Terry Rowlands, of Casey CIU, said residential burglaries, car theft as well as theft from cars remained an issue.

He played down the role of youth gangs, such as the Apex Gang linked to aggravated burglaries, armed robberies and carjackings.

“We have and continue to remind the community to be vigilant and not leave their valuables easily accessible to offenders.”

Bid to overturn rates cap ‘was money down the drain’

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CASEY council has been accused of “wasting” $250,000 on its failed submission to lift rates above a 2.5 per cent rise.

Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association spokesman Brendan Browne said the council should have known the Essential Services Commission’s likely verdict.

“The council tried to argue the unpopularity of the excessive rate charges didn’t matter because it was still in the best interest of ‘all ratepayers’.

“It makes you wonder whether the council are so used to wasting money, that $250,000 down the drain doesn’t matter to them.”

The Municipal Association of Victoria estimated the submissions would cost up to $40,000.

Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said it was inaccurate to portray Casey’s bid as “wasteful”.

He said the ‘cost’ comprised the hours devoted by council staff on the bid, though external consultants were hired for required community consultation.

“The (Local Government) minister (Natalie Hutchins) told us we should not hold back on community consultation.

“We put in a very professional document of full modelling and analysis on the impact of ratecapping on the fastest-growing (council area) in the state.”

Casey chief executive Mike Tyler told the ESC, in the course of the council’s submission, that one of the required tasks was a 50-page spreadsheet, with more than 9000 cells requiring individual data.

“This alone was about 30 days’ work that had to be diverted from other tasks.”

Mr Tyler told Star News the costs were already incorporated in the council’s 2015-16 resource plans.

Casey had always planned to undertake significant community consultation leading up to the development of its 2016-17 budget, he said.

“Council is not able to disclose the salaries of those staff which worked on the variation nor is it able to disclose the consultants fees as they are commercial in confidence.”

Mr Browne said the argument that there was no extra cost to the council was “feeble”.

“What kind of council would redirect so much valuable staff time into a dubious attempt to increase rates?

“With Mayor Aziz’s support, those staff could have been working productively for the betterment of the City of Casey.”

Watch stolen from jeweller A knife-wielding thief stole a $299 watch from a Dandenong Plaza jeweller.

He entered the Angus and Coote store and asked to try on a Jag watch about 4.20pm on Saturday 11 June.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Nic Hayes said the man then left the store without paying.

When store staff approached, he produced a knife and fled towards the Woolworths car park.

“That’s where he was last seen,” Det Sen Const Hayes said.

The thief is described as about 183 centimetres tall, Caucasian and aged between 50 and 60 years with a thin build and gaunt face.

Stolen furniture recovered Police recovered property from a Dandenong South burglary at a Doveton address.

Thieves stole a large furniture removal truck and $25,000 in furniture from a furniture warehouse in late May. Greater Dandenong CIU Senior Constable Nic Hayes said the truck was found in Dandenong South on Wednesday 25 May. Officers executed a warrant in Doveton on Monday 6 June and recovered about half of the furniture.

Sen Const Hayes said the investigation was ongoing and no arrests had been made.

Burglar crawls to work

Brendan Browne says Casey Council's failed $250,000 submission to the ESC was money down the drain.

Property Investment Safe & Easy

A burglar has twice struck at the same Dandenong restaurant in the past six months.

Greater Dandenong CIU detectives are appealing for public help to identify him.

They allege he first broke into the Princes Highway business on Wednesday 11 November last year, entered a rear office and stole cash.

The latest incident happened on Friday 29 April at 1.30am, when police say the burglar entered the restaurant and tried for about 45 minutes to break into the office using what looks like two screwdrivers.

He left empty-handed when a security alarm activated.

The man has short dark hair and a slim to medium build.

Thieves who allegedly knocked a man unconscious in a Dandenong car park have been arrested and charged.

The 30-year-old victim from Dandenong told police that a woman asked him for a cigarette and a ride to the Princes Highway Coles about 2.50am on Wednesday 25 May. Police said the victim gave the woman a packet of cigarettes but she didn’t give him any money, so he followed her into the underground car park area.

The victim told police that a man then approached and assaulted him, knocking him unconscious and stealing his keys and car.

Police recovered the vehicle near the Sandown Hotel on Monday 6 June after officers arrested a 24-year-old woman from Cranbourne and a 29-year-old man from Patterson Lakes who fled from the car.

Looking Back 100 years ago 22 June 1916 Dandenong Telephone Service Some time ago, subscribers to the Dandenong telephone exchange were informed by the Postmaster General that, owing to retrenchment in the department, the local exchange would be closed at 6pm, but if certain revenue was forthcoming the same provision at present would be adhered to.

A meeting was called and the subscribers financed the necessary conditions, but now the department repudiates the agreement, according to an interview by the department with Mr Pearson (president of the shire).

At the meeting on Monday night, Mr Pearson forwarded a letter (not being able to attend personally owing to illness) informing those present that he made inquiries in regard to the matters and the department made the following admissions:

The exchange to be closed at 10pm on ordinary days, and on Sundays from 9am to 10am, noon to 2pm, and 9am to 10pm, and no all-night services.

After a lot of discussion on the matter, subscribers considered it a most unfair proposition and it was agreed to forward a letter of protest and enlist the support of Sir W Irvine and Mr Keats, members for the district.

50 years ago 16 June 1966 $400,000 promise but not one brick A $400,000 renovation and rebuilding program promised for Dandenong High School seven months ago is still on the waiting list.

A report this week by the Board of Inspectors of Secondary Schools on the conditions at Dandenong High School states: “Pupils are under cover but much of the accommodation is sub-standard. Special subject rooms are

mostly limited because they are too small, too old, or poorly fitted.”

20 years ago 17 June 1996 Great days ahead!

It’s been a bumper year for Dandenong in terms of business growth and an “encouraging” one for Casey.

Dandenong has shrugged off its reputation as the highway of closures and lost jobs, clawing its way back as a major industrial and commercial centre.

Businesses are rushing back to Dandenong, creating jobs.

5 years ago 20 June 2011 Pool plan boosted The Noble Park Swim Centre will be accessi-

ble to all abilities following a $100,000 grant from the federal government.

The City of Greater Dandenong will also chip in $115,000 for the works.

Mayor Roz Blades said the funds would be used to provide ramped entry into the new 50-metre pool and indoor pool, special surfacing around the new aquatic water play area and a platform lift to improve accessibility to both pools.

Bruce MP Alan Griffin said people with disabilities deserved the same opportunities as other Australians and the development would ensure that.

“It’s great to see Greater Dandenong wanting to do more to support people with a disability and create a more inclusive community.”

Goodness Bowl warms the soul

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS IT’S nearly a crime that glorious dishes can be priced the same as a 7-11 sandwich.

Chilly Bowl chef and owner Baiju Jacob has been plying his trade in his home country India as well as in the Lebanon, Bahrain and Australia for 22 years.

At the Dandenong licensed restaurant, his mastery of north and south Indian cuisine is apparent.

He provides a soaring variety of curries, unique breads - such as the spider-web thin rice and coconut-milk hoppers - and several chillies that are rarely found in an Australian restaurant.

Mr Jacob’s meals have a home-cooked touch, inspired by many hours growing up in his mother’s kitchen.

Yet mains at lunch and dinner start at a toohumble $5.

“Dandenong’s a competitive place for restaurants,” Mr Jacob explains.

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL One shining example of this food’s quality is the lemon pickle side-bowl - it bites and zings with surreal citric flavour and alkalinity.

There’s the plentiful ‘beef roast’ - a generous bowl of beef squares soaking in a rich green chilli and curry leaf sauce.

It’s served with a paratha bread - a mix of yoghurt, milk and sugar cooked on a hotplate and that crumbles like a good shortcut pastry.

Eaten by hand with the bread, the dish is like a deconstructed meat pie - though pies rarely come so flavoursome and so laden with meat.

Its chilli heat creeps up - it doesn’t so much hit the tongue but warms the belly.

The kappa and Spanish mackerel curry is another highlight. This packs a dry, instant chilli hit with generous chunks of fish - and a curious coffee undertone.

It’s served with a soothing tamarind and coconut-infused potato side-dish.

The popular chicken biriyani is a mountain of basmati rice and fresh mint and coriander. Inside its cavern is a rich, spicy gravy with three pieces of fried chicken.

It’s accompanied by the zesty lemon pickle and a raita yoghurt with tomato, onion and green chilli.

Another Chilly Bowl wonder is the enormous rice crepe such as the vegetarian masala dosa which is filled with potato thapioca and comes with a side of mixed vegetable sambal and coconut chutney.

This restaurant is another one of those Dandenong food treasures - surprisingly cheap of great quality and ingenuity. It’s quickly becoming a cult classic.

Chilly Bowl is open at 1/24 Langhorne Street, Dandenong, Tuesdays-Sundays noon-9.45pm.

Home deliveries of up to $40 food are free within seven kilometres.

Labor has pledged up to $20 million for 1600 technical education places in a pilot scheme in Berwick, if the party wins government on 2 July.

Opposition Higher Education Spokesman Kim Carr, with La Trobe ALP candidate Simon Curtis, said the proposed Commonwealth Institute of Higher Education would “fill a big hole” in the education system.

The institute will offer two-year sub-degree courses at advanced diploma and associate degree levels, with a focus on “employability”, Mr Carr said.

Students would have a “high-skill exit qualification”, with the option of going on to university.

The Berwick institute’s $20 million federal funding was subject to a joint funding agreement with the Victorian Government.

Mr Carr said increasing numbers of unprepared students were being signed up for university, with many dropping out or failing.

Half of students with entrance scores less than 50 and enrolled in university did not succeed, he said.

“We’re filling a gap in the education system, particularly in areas such as this.”

He cited the Casey area’s economic downturn, higher-than-average unemployment and the need to teach a technical skills-set for manufacturing

and material-science jobs.

“Educational attainment is way under par,” Mr Carr said.

The institute would be partnered by Chisholm Institute and the future operator of the soon-tobe-vacated Monash University site in Berwick, Mr Carr said.

“We’d like to see that we continue to offer higher education at the (university) site. That we ... ensure people of this region get entitlements that the rest of the state gets.”

La Trobe ALP candidate Simon Curtis said he’d advocated for such an institute at the site which linked education and skills to “real jobs”.

La Trobe incumbent Jason Wood said the solution was for a university to succeed Monash so “innovation and entrepreneurship can be the key focus while working with business and other institutions”.

“Labor’s policy is light on detail and is not clear what it will do. We need to make sure that La Trobe maintains access to university education.“ Training and Skills Minister Steve Herbert said the State Government looked forward to supporting “these industry linked institutions in partnership with our TAFEs and universities”.

“Victoria has the best universities and TAFEs in Australia and this will only be enhanced with the introduction of Commonwealth Institutes of Higher Education.”

Finding a convenient storage solution Sick of clutter at your place? Kids moving back home? Expanding your business? Going overseas and are worried about your valuables? These are just some of the reasons why people often need additional storage space.

KEYSBOROUGH 1 Southpark Close, Keysborough VIC 3173

For some personal items that are just too precious to throw away, but you really don’t have room at home for them anymore, storage can be an attractive alternative. Knowing those items are locked away in a secure storage unit and are still very easily accessible can provide some relief. No more arguments about where to store family heirlooms!

GRAND

Do you have unexpected guests that drop in and need a place to stay? Keep your spare room as an actual spare room and not a ‘junk’ room where all your odds and sods end up. Christmas decorations, winter clothes and other seasonally used goods should be out of the spare room and into a storage unit.

1231233-RC25-16

OPENING SPECIAL!

Anyone with a growing business can utilise self storage as an alternative to physical warehouse expansion, which can be costly and time consuming. Business owners who don’t often have time to wait around for tardy couriers at home/office, can have goods delivered to their storage unit instead. Not only is this more convenient but when levels of stock fluctuate, there are different size units available to transfer stock between or even use a second unit which would be especially beneficial over busy periods.

Big or small, storage units come in a wide range of sizes making it easy to accommodate individual needs. Self storage units are managed by on-site staff and are easily accessible – there will likely be one near you.

NOW OPEN !

50% OFF FIRST 2 MONTHS STORAGE PLUS FREE UNIT PADLOCK

To celebrate the opening of our brand new self storage centre, present this voucher to receive 50% off for your first two months storage, plus a complimentary padlock!*

www.fortknoxselfstorage.com.au

If you decide self storage might be something for you, keep in mind that not all storage facilities are the same. Find somewhere that offers access hours to suits you, is run by friendly staff and looks well managed. Ask for a tour of the facility to see for yourself. Is the grass overgrown or are the units dirty? If they do not take pride in the way their facility looks, they may not treat your goods with the same care as you do Also, ensure you choose a storage centre with monitored surveillance and tamper-proof locking systems, for peace of mind. If you have any questions, just ask; you will get to know how knowledgeable the staff are and whether they are happy to openly communicate with you. The last thing you need is to have a query at a later date to find they do not return calls or emails.

Fort Knox Self Storage should definitely be a consideration when you start looking for storage, they can offer all of the above and more. What’s even better is their latest state-of-the-art storage facility has just opened in Keysborough. Conveniently located at 1 Southpark Close Keysborough, adjoining Springvale Road and close to the Dandenong Bypass, this purpose built, architecturally designed facility is one to impress.

As well as being completely brand new, Fort Knox Keysborough boasts a 24hr back-to-base monitoring system with smoke alarms, sprinklers, Fort Knox’s unique and highly secure locking systems and individual door alarms. Access is also easy for both cars and removalist trucks to drive in every day of the year. For commercial customers, the use of a walkie stacker and pallet jack are also available, making it easy for you to maneuver your stock. Pop in for a tour of the newly minted storage centre and discover how our professional on-site storage experts can make storage as easy and as straightforward as possible for you.

Customers can also relax and unwind after all the packing and unpacking in our comfortable tearoom or book the generous-sized boardroom to hold meetings or sort through paperwork.

To organise a tour or to speak to one of the dedicated storage experts about self storage and how they can tailor a unique storage solution for you, please call the brand new Keysborough facility on 8525 1005 or email keysborough@fkss.com.au. They would love to hear from you.

He cited the board’s handling of serious health risks at Fiskville training ground and adverse findings by the Fire Services Review.

“Both the volunteers and (paid) members at Hallam believe the CFA is a somewhat dysfunctional organisation and has been for a long time.

“There’s a toxic culture between management and people on the ground.

where staff and volunteers are recognised equally.”

He said staff and volunteers at Hallam still had a “sound working relationship” but the “demonising” of staff firefighters risked souring ties with volunteers and neighbouring volunteer brigades.

“We want to stop being used as a political football. We don’t want the demonising to continue.”

He said the Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria and the Liberal state and federal parties were “painting the (EBA) issues in a different light to what they actually are”.

“The Liberal party have made this issue bigger than Ben Hur.”

1226537-CB18-16

Volunteer and staff firefighters at Hallam CFA say they stand united despite a three-year industrial “firestorm” between the CFA, the United Firefighters Union and the State Government.

As an “integrated” brigade, professionals - represented by the UFU - and volunteers fight blazes side by side.

Volunteer firey of 10 years Raj Faour said that will continue despite the political “mess”.

In recent days, EBA negotiations have spilled over, pitting the UBU against the volunteer firefighters’ body Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria.

It has led to the Government’s ousting of Emergency Services Minister Jane Garratt and the unseating of the CFA board.

Mr Faour said clauses giving UBU the power of veto on attending fires was not a cause of concern and that it actually helped to ensure there were adequate resources for each incident, he said.

“It’s unfortunately all over the news and the media.

“It’s causing a divide between volunteers themselves, the staff and volunteers, but things are good down at our station.”

He said he stood “firmly behind” the State Government, which has moved to replace the CFA board.

“I just want to get it sorted. It needs to be resolved yesterday.”

Volunteer of 12 years Lieutenant Dave Rose said he was disappointed by Premier Daniel Andrews’s intervention, which was effectively “taking sides”.

“This attitude that he’ll solve the problem makes matters worse.”

Mr Rose said the brigade was managing the “firestorm” by being “interested but not involved”.

“We don’t want to end up in heated discussions about things.

“We still want to work fires together and don’t want people remembering you said something that upset them.”

Mr Rose said the message to the community was: “Even though there’s a firestorm going on around us, we have a job to do.”

When you move into your new home at Saffron Grove, not only will you feel safe and secure, you also have so many opportunities to belong and enjoy all the social benefits retirement living brings.

An Opera Australia national premiere is on its way to Dandenong.

The Drum Theatre will host the first performance of The Marriage of Figaro Australian tour in July.

The comical Mozart opera follows a Seville household’s adventures during one crazy day.

Figaro is marrying Susanna, but the Count wants to seduce her first. Marcellina wants Figaro and the Countess just wants her husband back.

It’s described as the Downton Abbey of opera – but more fun – and award-winning creative duo Michael Gow and Robert Kemp created this new production.

A chamber orchestra and chorus of children from Wooranna Park Primary School will accompany some of Opera Australia’s finest singers.

The Dandenong North students will learn their parts through Opera Australia’s Regional Children’s Chorus Program.

Announcement of successful applicants will be made during September 2016.

Hallam Senior College hospitality students catered for 80 people in an in-house trades gala event as other students took guests on a tour of the school’s trade facilities.

Entree was served in the hair and beauty salon, while desert was eaten on a walking tour with the building and furniture making students who showcased a granny flat, which is currently in construction.

Assistant principal Bernadette Bowling said after the trades expo, on Thursday 16 June, that students’ confidence soared.

“The students seem to grow about two feet higher, they were really engaged and very tired at end of it but they just beamed,” Ms Bowling said.

“They presented to our guests and pretty much took over the show which was the intention.

“It was a really fun night and a chance for us to highlight to our community the work that we

are doing with our young people and how we are preparing them for work in traditional trades.”

The inaugural event included guests from Monash University, local businesses, school council, parents and neighbouring schools and Ms Bowling said the expo was a great opportunity for students to exercise some of the real-life skills they have learnt at school.

“There were about 15 students in the kitchen under the guidance of Wolfgang Kessler and students waited on the sit down dinner as well,” she said.

The dinner was introduced by former students, Karly Tapner, an awarded plumbing apprentice, and Matt Litten, a fully qualified mechanic, who spoke about the rewards of their jobs.

Scott Kirkby, leader of the traditional trades sub school, said the school is already looking forward to next year’s trades gala sit down dinner.

SATURDAY 25TH JUNE MARCEAU CAMILLE On the first Wednesday of each month, Springvale RSL proudly Volunteers Chintha and Melanie. 154397

A Dandenong welfare service has celebrated its first birthday.

The Jesuran Wellness Centre in Herbert Street held an afternoon tea to mark the occasion on Thursday 9 June.

Pastor Hilda Samuel said it had provided “a fragrance of community support in the City of Greater Dandenong and beyond, with our amenities, services and love”.

Volunteers transformed a dilapidated former massage clinic into a freshly painted, welcoming one-stop shop primarily for Sri Lankan Tamil refugees. It provides free lunches, clothes and other essentials, CV help and training, English language classes, a GP, counselling, a men’s group, a library and a games room.

Ms Samuel said Jesuran Wellness Centre ran on donations and volunteers and was devoted to social and community welfare, development, rehabilitation and equipping refugees and others to adapt to life in Australia.

Jesuran Wellness Centre is open Tuesday to Saturday at 79a Herbert Street, Dandenong. Call 0407 125 649 to help.

A better way…

to get the

handyman jobs done!

An anonymous donation to upgrade their lights has Greater Dandenong SES members jumping for joy.

Greater Dandenong councillor Angela Long organised the donation from a long-term resident of the city who recognised the unit’s value but wanted to remain anonymous.

“Much of the work we do is at night where we need to deploy extensive lighting to provide a safe workspace for our volunteers,” Greater Dandenong SES acting controller Shane Bolton said.

“In addition, we are regularly called upon to provide lighting for police and ambulance at crime scenes and other events.

“With this new LED lighting we are able to deploy more lighting, more quickly and with improved reliability.”

A Dandenong man won $1 million in the Monday 13 June Lotto draw.

“Shut up! Holy moly! I’m really trying not to swear right now!” the shocked Division One winner shouted when a Tatts official called him the following day.

“I don’t know what to do! Should I fall on the floor? I mean - I just became a millionaire!

The man, who wants to remain anonymous, said the win provided the opportunity for a sea-change.

Springvale’s Mr Diamond Australia will soon be on television screens around the country.

Hung Pham has been spotted on commercials for Channel 7 show The Big Music Quiz.

The Journal has heard whispers that the own-

er of national pizza chain La Porchetta and alleged Melbourne Mafia boss Antonio ‘Tony’ Madafferi was at the Tuesday 14 June council meeting.

He’s said to be a Bangholme Green Wedge landowner.

Dandenong lawyer Jenny Tran credits a Dandenong Journal story with helping to save her dad’s life.

Doctors diagnosed him with lung cancer and gave him eight months to live, but her mum read about “this amazing cancer drug” in her local paper, “started bugging Peter Mac” and “eventually they caved in to mum’s demands”.

Her dad was part of a drug trial and his cancer has been suspended since.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Open and shut success

Ingredients for a bigger slice

By CASEY NEILL

Ricardo Platcher, Henry Cannon, Nick Meyers and Rakesh Narayan in the Hallam plant.

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Hallam-based company Dorma Australia has more sliding door moments than most.

In short, it makes the drive-units that open and close automated doors.

Its Pacific Region operations manager Nick Meyers said the company, with 152 workers at Hallam, turns over $100 million-plus a year.

Dorma was a finalist at the recent Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards.

It survives and thrives by offering the best quality product, Mr Meyers said.

“Our doors carry more weight than any other in the market.”

The first such mechanism - then driven by a motorbike chain - was invented by BWN Industries in Australia in the 1960s. BWN has since been absorbed into Dorma’s operations.

The company’s point of difference is to manufacture specifically for each customer such as Apple stores, Mr Meyers said.

Some of its major projects are all over the world.

They include 140 doors at Changi Airport Terminal Four, up to 100 doors in the Saudi Riyadh financial district and 100-plus doors at King Ab-

Sandra Smith enjoys her work at Dorma's Hallam plant. dulaziz International Airport in Jeddeh.

Domestically, Dorma’s customers include Sunshine Coast University Hospital, New Royal Adelaide Hospital, Crown Towers in Perth, Collins Street Towers in Melbourne and 580 George Street in Sydney.

Mr Meyers said manufacturing is hard in Australia.

“You have to be smart in what you do,” he said.

WIN

There’s care to have lean manufacturing processes, not to double-handle orders but to get it right first time, he said.

Dorma itself started in Germany and was owned by the original family for about a century.

The company is now perhaps facing its own sliding doors moment with the formal merger with global security group Kaba on 1 July.

A BRAND NEW, FULLY FITTED HUB OFFICE!

Business growth expert Jason Cunningham will share his expertise at the next Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce breakfast.

The chamber’s second business awards breakfast for the year will be held at 7am on Wednesday 6 July at Greyhounds Entertainment in Springvale.

The morning will highlight business and student achievement, provide networking opportunities, and feature a presentation from Mr Cunningham.

During his 20-year career he’s inspired thousands of business owners to take action to build a better business, make money and get a life.

He’s an author, entrepreneur, industry commentator, a member of Channel 10’s The Living Room team and SEN1116’s The Run Home.

Mr Cunningham’s latest book, Have Your Cake and Eat it Too: The 7 Key Ingredients of Business Success, combines his experience as a successful business owner and consultant with insights from worldclass industry leaders.

Chamber president Paul Broom said he was very pleased that the business community would have the chance to listen to such a well-renowned speaker.

“Jason brings with him to our event a wealth of knowledge and expertise around growing a very successful and profitable business.

“This is an event no business can afford to miss,” he said.

This slick, better-than-new, superbly appointed “lock-up and leave” townhouse would be ideal for those who have a busy lifestyle and just want to easily get out of town on the weekends.

Centrally heated throughout, and with powerful air conditioning upstairs, this light and bright townhouse offers a guest powder room, loads of downstairs storage, a quality kitchen with island bench and stone counters, sunny living/dining area with big glass doors to the private rear courtyard.

An oversized single garage plus parking apron and a Euro-style laundry complete this level.

Upstairs are two excellent bedrooms, the main offering a large en suite and a walk-in wardrobe.

The third bedroom is currently configured as an extra living area.

The main bathroom is adjacent to the second bedroom.

Other features are stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, dishwasher, loads of clever shelving and storage, quality blinds, electric security shutters and doors, water tank and pump, Colourbond garden shed, continuous hot water, beautiful rear courtyard landscaping and more.

NEW HOMES & LAND

INSPIRED TO FIND THE X-FACTOR Inspired Homes has the X-factor among the new homes of Melbourne.

These designs stand apart from their competitors’ in their dynamic flow and added interest.

Unique angles, rarely seen in builder’s catalogues, welcome visitors like a hug when they first open the front door of an Inspired Home and are towards the central living zone.

Clever angles create a dynamic open plan living area at the core of the home.

Here the kitchen, living and dining interact seamlessly and connect with the alfresco and home theatre.

The kitchen is angled to avoid facing a side or back fence and to facilitate a dynamic flow for indoor/outdoor entertaining.

The unique design of the home theatre is this company’s signature and sets it apart from the rest.

Angled walls mean that every seat is in prime location to the screen which makes the theatre perfect for movie nights with friends and family.

Strategically placed kids’ bedrooms form a separate area around a family bathroom and toilet.

Variations of Inspired Homes designs also feature a kids’ zone and IT area.

Alternatively home buyers can tailor a design to suit their specific tastes and requirements.

The Inspired modular design system separates homes into three separate areas - front, middle and back - making it a straightforward process to move the master suite from the front to the back of the home or vice versa.

Inspired Homes pays strong attention to

other volume builders.

The Inspired Homes’ 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee process ensures that buyers will be happy with the layout that Inspired Homes creates for them.

Buyers no longer have to browse catalogue after catalogue to find a design that ticks the boxes on their lists, now they can break free from generic layouts

detail and offers a personalised service that allows clients to customise designs to suit their land, tastes, requirements and budget.

Clients can work one-on-one with an Inspired Homes designer to see their plans come to life and avoid the lengthy applications for design changes and added fees that they may experience with

and create their dream home.

Visit Inspired Homes to experience the X-factor and start creating a unique design.

Artist weaves feminine threads

By CASEY NEILL A former Dandenong girls school will inspire embroidery that will hang between Heritage Hill’s famous fig trees during Cultural Threads.

Artist Thea Jones came up with the project, titled All Her Thoughts Are So Tactile.

“It’s a direct response to the site of Laurel Lodge at Heritage Hill,” she said.

“I put together a proposal that related to the history of the building as a girls school.

“A lot of my work uses traditional craft techniques that highlight the femininity involved, or the tradition of female-based craft, or mother-todaughter tradition of passing those skills down.”

Ms Jones said the title “refers to an unspoken female thought, or history of silencing young girls, especially in educational spaces where they were only allowed to learn things like sewing and housework”.

“I’m going to make it with people in the community, so I’ll be going to their sewing group on a Tuesday for three weeks and then I’ll also be in the actual building, Heritage Hill, in an open studio format so people can come in and help,” she said.

“It’s a very open-ended educational experience, which contradicts the history as well of more strict forms of education.

“That’s why I wanted it to be more free.”

The installation will be on display at Heritage Hill throughout August.

People can drop in and contribute to sewing elements of the large-scale embroidery from 10.30am to 12.30pm on Friday 8 July.

Ms Jones will run workshops with The Open

Artist Thea Jones is using a former Dandenong girls school as inspiration for her contribution to Cultural Threads.

Door at Springvale Neighbourhood House on Tuesdays 12 and 19 July from 10am to noon.

Also as part of the project will be workshops where participants create thread dyes using elements from the Heritage Hill gardens, held from 10.30am to 12.30pm on Tuesday 5 and Thursday 7 July.

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, 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 includ-

ing the Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre, Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens, the Drum Theatre, the Dandenong and Springvale libraries and Harmony Square.

Intricate and colourful installations will adorn the municipality throughout Cultural Threads, which is a satellite event of Craft Victoria’s Craft Cubed Festival.

What’s on 9798 7005 or visit ww.rainbows.org.au for more information.

Book club Take more time for reading and socialising through The Open Door’s Book Club.

Participants share their opinions on a variety of books with a coffee on the third Monday of the month.

As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law.

Proud of their links to the past

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Three-generation family business Bartlett Equipment’s 70-year history is one of ingenuity.

Since starting in Clayton South in 1946, the truck and trailer equipment manufacturer has evolved from farm machinery, then axles and then towing set-ups for B-double trucks.

In its Hallam workshop, staff build and fit tow bar systems for ABS-enabled trailers on 150 Australian Defence Force 14-tonne 4WD trucks.

Managing director Allan Bartlett, grandson of founder Norm, said the company has always been about designing things.

“We want to be different. We want to be leaders,” Mr Bartlett said.

“We don’t want to be following other people’s ideas.”

The Bartlett ball trailer-coupling system was based on Norm’s prototype and invented by Norm’s son Geoff when he was still studying mechanical engineering in 1964.

The original system is still sold at Bartlett Equipment. It endures even beyond the expiry of its patent and competitors’ cheaper copies didn’t cut it.

Geoff explains the revolutionary snug-fit system suppressed the loud rattles that blighted previous couplings. For the first time, the trailer became an integral part of the truck.

“What Geoff has you can’t bottle it,” said his nephew Allan.

Geoff ’s earliest memories were playing with parts, sorting nuts and bolts at the factory as a four-year-old.

“I always preferred being at the factory than studying,” he said.

Another of Geoff ’s innovations was an innocuous-looking high-tensile safety chain used for large heavy vehicles.

The light, tiny part, which prevents trailers dismounting from trucks, was a significant upgrade on the bulky alternatives.

Much has changed due to the “power of the computer” which has fast-tracked the design process. Computers can predict the stresses of a towing design, even how its parts will fatigue.

Picture: GARY SISSONS

Geoff Bartlett continues to keep an eye on the company’s designs. 155122 “It used to be done on the run. You’d build it and see how it runs.”

Officially in retirement, Geoff still sits in on production design meetings at the business which moved to its current Hallam site in 1988.

Bartlett Equipment celebrated its 70th anniversary with trade figures at the Melbourne Showgrounds.

It has also recently been presented with a commemorative certificate from City of Casey.

The Bartletts hold their family and company’s history dear. Allan recently found a rusted welding mask owned by Norm.

It prominently hangs in a rustic framed box in the office oozing with history.

But as with other manufacturers, there’s much

Stories from the suburbs can be extraordinary reads

By CASEY NEILL The suburbs are filled with extraordinary stories just waiting to be told, Lucyna Artymiuk says.

The Noble Park woman recently released a book about her father, Polish World War II airman Jan Artymiuk.

Her journey to writing From Poland to “Wherever in the World” – The Journey of an Australian Migrant started with an email from a young aviation historian in Poland containing her father’s entire military history.

“There were so many more details than I even knew,” she said.

“You suddenly realised the generation who knew all those finer details had disappeared.

“When my father died 30 years ago I was in my 20s. I didn’t know what questions to ask.”

Ms Artymiuk set up an online chat group, contacted descendants of other members of her father’s bomber crew and started gathering information.

She’s involved in the Polish Museum and Archives and attended a seminar the group organised on writing a family history.

“It was getting closer to the 100th anniversary of my father’s birth,” she said.

“I thought it would be a nice tribute to him to write his biography.

“There are a lot of interesting stories - extraordinary lives of ordinary people in the suburbs that have not been told and are just waiting to be told.”

The book is aimed at second and third generations of Polish background “who don’t fully understand the context of how their parents ended up in Australia”.

In the suitcase her dad brought with him to Australia, Ms Artymiuk found study notes for an electrician course, letters Jan received from his then-girlfriend during his time as a prisoner of war, and letters he wrote while courting Ms Artymiuk’s mother.

“It became much more three-dimensional,” she said. “It’s like a window into the past. I’m researching now my mother’s side of the family.”

to contemplate in the future.

“Manufacturing materials could be coming out of anywhere these days,” Allan said.

“We have competitors copying some of our products.”

Allan said the key to the company’s future is to continue to be “smart” in its designs.

Refugees in the welcome zone Greater Dandenong residents are invited to celebrate the contribution refugees make to their diverse and vibrant city.

Refugee Week runs from Sunday 19 to Saturday 25 June and includes World Refugee Day on Monday 20 June.

This year’s theme “With Courage Let Us All Combine” borrows a line from the Australian national anthem and recognises the courage many refugees have shown in their fight for a better life.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Heang Tak encouraged residents to take time during Refugee Week to learn more about the journeys and experiences of refugee and asylum seekers in the community.

Journey of Courage will combine theatre and discussion with a Q and A panel from 7.30pm to 10.30pm on Tuesday 28 June at the Drum Theatre in Dandenong.

Springers Leisure Centre in Keysborough will host a soccer tournament and live entertainment on Saturday 9 July.

Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre, Monash Health, ERMHA, Catholic Care and the City of Greater Dandenong are presenting the event.

Life Without Barriers will host a luncheon with refugee service providers from 1pm to 3pm on Wednesday 22 June at Suite One, Level Two, 1 Langhorne Street, Dandenong.

Councillor Tak said more than 2200 recently-arrived migrants settled in the municipality each year - the highest of any Victorian council area.

“A third of them are refugees, largely from Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Iran and Pakistan,” he said.

There are about 3000 asylum seekers living in the community, he said - again the highest in the state.

“We have a long and proud history of supporting the settlement of new migrants, and we are proud to be an official Refugee Welcome Zone,” he said.

SPORT Dream just got bigger for Ellie

By JARROD POTTER PROFESSIONAL women’s football was brought another step closer on Wednesday 15 June and for south-east superstar Ellie Blackburn ... she can’t wait to be part of it.

With the announcement of the first eight AFL clubs issued inaugural National Women’s League (NWL) licences in 2017, for Blackburn, 21, from Endeavour Hills, it means her beloved Melbourne will get a chance to feature in the first season of professional women’s football in Australia.

The Demons are set to battle the likes of Adelaide, Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Fremantle, GWS and long-time rivals the Western Bulldogs in the start-up competition.

“It’s pretty amazing to see how far it’s come over the years - when I started you wouldn’t have ever pictured something like this happening,” Blackburn said.

“It was a childhood dream and now it’s a reality.

“It’s a reality for so many younger girls that will be able to get this opportunity now as well.

“I definitely think it will create a lot more interest for girls and now there’s a genuine pathway for them to aspire to be a part of - I think girls will be a lot more interested in it and getting a chance of putting their name in the history books as well.”

Blackburn has one match left for the Demons this year - the annual Hampson-Hardeman Cup held between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs.

In a way it closes a door on a pioneering chapter for elite women’s football, with the Exhibition Series winding down to make way for the National Women’s League.

But looking back on the closely fought clashes on the MCG and Etihad Stadium, the initial steps

Ellie Blackburn, pictured playing for Melbourne last year, can't wait for a shot at next year's National Women's League after the inaugural teams were announced on Wednesday.

Picture: WHITE LINE IMAGES the first players and teams went through to make it all happen, Blackburn thought it was incredible to see the game move from a 44-person draft in

Persistent Pierce makes his AFL dream a reality

By JARROD POTTER Trekking the toughest of paths to his AFL debut last Sunday, St Kilda ruckman Lewis Pierce is the embodiment of perseverance.

Pierce, 21, has been battling his way through the ranks ever since his first steps in TAC Cup for the Dandenong Stingrays; fighting off niggling injuries that dogged his time in the Under-18s competition.

A back injury in 2014 put him back into the rehab group and left the 202cm hard-running ruckman to endure another round of treatments to get his body right.

But this year he’s put that all behind him and after a monster month in the VFL, Pierce knew he stood a chance to get tapped on the shoulder and don number 42 for the first time as St Kilda ran out 17.8 (110) to 12.6 (78) victors over Carlton.

His other stand-out moment was getting on the end of a kick to the square by Tom Hickey, taking his time and booting a memorable first AFL goal as his Saints’ team-mates came from everywhere to celebrate.

“You could probably tell that was the highlight of the day for me - I’ve seen the footage a few times now and I smile every time I see it,” Pierce said.

“That was definitely a moment I’ll never forget for the rest of my life ... that was an amazing feeling.”

From time in rehab, Pierce’s perspective has grown. It’s not just gloom and dread over missing weeks on the sideline, but about improving the little things and keeping an eye on the bigger picture.

“If I looked back and thought how I’d deal with it differently is to make sure I’m looking at the positives as much as I can and using it as an opportunity to improve other factors,” Pierce said.

“Whether it’s strength, game knowledge or something like that, always finding short-term goals along the way.”

But those days are in his rear-view mirror as Pierce looks towards an upcoming golden age for St Kilda, with a litany of talented top draft picks and a gutsy side set to surge up the AFL ladder.

Former Dandenong Stingray Lewis Pierce made his AFL debut last Sunday after putting a career's worth of niggling injuries behind him.

and see what we’ve achieved out of this,” Blackburn said.

“It’s going to be a big day for women’s football.

“The girls that are actually involved, it will be a big day knowing over the years we’ve had this little competition between Melbourne and the Bulldogs and have a bit of fun there and from now on it will create some kind of rivalry between the two clubs.

“Two pioneers and two clubs that were given licences are inaugural clubs - it will be rewarding in a way that we’ll be able to look back on this time and think about how much we achieved together getting this done.

“These Hampson-Hardeman Cup matches ... it’s another aspect as to why we’ve got a women’s competition.”

Whether or not she’ll get to play for Melbourne in next year’s competition is up in the air, with marquee spots at each team limited, but wherever she might take her NWL dream, Blackburn was proud to be part of the red and blue through its first four campaigns.

“I think it’s great for Melbourne Football Club - we’ve been pioneers of the game for so long and had great people be a part of Melbourne throughout the years to make this happen,” Blackburn said.

“If it wasn’t for people involved with that football club, we might not have been looking down the barrel of a women’s competition.

“With them, being granted a licence is a cherry on top.”

Under-23s slugged it out SLUGGING it out against the state’s best leagues, Dandenong Baseball Association’s Under-23s claimed the 2016 Country Champions knocking off Mt Gambier 5-4 in the final.

Taking to the Geelong Baseball Centre over the long weekend, the Dandy boys surged to claim four wins, a loss and a draw across the Queen’s Birthday tournament.

Defeating North Eastern 9-1 and drawing with eventual grand finalists Mt Gambier 5-5 on the first day, Sunday proved an up-and-down event for the locals.

They lost to Bendigo on the second day, after leading for most of the game, in a 7-5 defeat, but Dandenong immediately bounced back to smash a 27-1 victory over Latrobe Valley. A 20-run spree in the first innings - led by a Jack Ogilvie grand slam turned the tables back in the locals’ favour.

An 11-1 win over Bendigo set the stage for the finale against Mt Gambier later on that day and on in Monday afternoon Dandenong fought past the best of Mt Gambier’s pitching - working back from a 2-4 deficit - to put the lead-off batters on base and grind out the winning runs. After a tense final innings, the DBA claimed the country championship 5-4 to continue the stellar work of last year’s representative campaigns.

Ryan Shane was awarded the DBA Under-23’s MVP for his stellar weekend.

Dandenong’s Under-18s are the next up at home plate, taking on the state winter championships in Mildura this weekend.

New faces secure same result for Stingrays

By JARROD POTTER TAC CUP - ROUND 10 The baby Rays had to wake up from an early nap to prove their potential on the TAC Cup stage.

You could almost make another elite TAC Cup side just from Dandenong’s first-choice exclusions for Saturday’s clash against Gippsland - Tom Jok, Tommy Glen, Josh Battle, Myles Poholke, Liam McKay, Oscar Clavarino, Ryan Gains, Mason de Wit, Tom de Koning, Reece Piper, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Sam Fowler.

Injuries, private school commitments and Vic Country duties left the side decimated and forced the heavy lifting to an experienced few while the depth was further tested with three new players - Riley D’Arcy, Lachlan Young and previously unlisted Beau Bailey - added to the line-up.

Dandenong’s first half was haphazard; nothing seemed to click for the Rays in the first term as the down-on-their-luck Power started to believe in its chance to upset.

Run-and-carry and ultra-fast transitions across half-back and the wings left both sides disoriented in defence, but to their credit, Dandy’s dour defenders Jake Frawley and Jordan Stewart kept it out of harm’s way for most of the afternoon.

With the usual tall suspects missing in action, Kirk Dickson and Kyle Beveridge starred as the go-to forwards for the Rays. The CranbourneDevon Meadows one-two punch left the Power dizzy at the back - especially with Dickson’s lastterm heroics.

In the meantime proceedings for both sides remained heavily in check. A one point lead to Gippsland at half time was at the behest of Dandenong’s woeful goalkicking - 3.7 (25) to 4.2 (26).

Neither side claimed a massive lead, or really put an impact on the game until the dying minutes of the fourth, but not for a lack of highlights.

Ben Ainsworth’s one-handed grab in the goalsquare over Frawley, leading to another Gippsland goal, kept the score deadlocked at the final change.

The elastic went back and forth as neither side could boot two on the trot to stitch up the game.

Stingrays stand-in captain Max Kleverkamp flew the flag through the centre as Charlie Martello and Danny Allsop got on the end of the centre clearances to hit up the Dickson-Beveridge combo.

Dickson’s efforts didn’t go without reward on the scoreboard as he jagged two monster goals in the last 10 minutes to put the Rays back in front.

Bodies flew everywhere in a chaotic race to the finish - with Pakenham goalsneak Jai Rout memorably crashing into his Gippsland bench before getting back up to make a crucial smother.

Gippsland’s Nathan Voss was brought within the square after a Stingray went over the mark, cutting the lead to two, but that would be as close as the visitors would get.

Coming back on with a heavily strapped knee, Chad Harris flew back with the ball, earned the free kick and slotted the match-winner to help the Rays get out of jail with the eight-point triumph.

Jake Frawley and Ben Ainsworth take to the skies in their forward line battle. 155753 “I said to the boys after the game in this program ladder positions are really irrelevant cause on any team you don’t make a TAC Cup list at any region if you’re not a good footballer,” Stingrays coach Craig Black said. “We knew Gippsland was going to challenge us - as they always do - I think over the time I’ve been here, ladder positions against these teams are even more irrelevant as it’s always a hard contest.

“We’ve played 48 players now and today we had three debutants play and that’s the exciting part of the program.

“We had to dig deep throughout the day - we never got away and they never got away from us, and it was just an old fashioned solid game of footy.”

Picture: JARROD POTTER

In-and-under types Aaron Darling, Hunter Clark and Frawley showed they’re ones to watch in next year’s competition with best afield performances in the centre and deep down back.

“They’re 17 year olds and we throw them in the deep end because they’re good players and we’re not going to shield them because they’re 17,” Black said. “We want them to be really good players next year and draftable in two years’ time - If we didn’t think they were up to these challenges we wouldn’t give them these roles.”

Dandenong - sitting second behind Geelong hosts Calder Cannons on Saturday and both sides will be renewed with the presence of its private school legion for the round 11 clash.

JOCs lock up Bushrangers

By JARROD POTTER VAFA - ROUND 10 Good sides can overcome big challenges but the great sides truly relish them.

Even with a host of first-choice outs and an extremely rapid finish from Yarra Valley , St John’s found a way to grind out its best win of the VAFA season so far - a 9.12 (66) to 9.8 (62) triumph at Thomas Carroll Reserve.

After a back-and-forth first half, St John’s leapt out of the blocks after the break to surge well ahead. Daniel Abou-Karram, Matthew Nicholson and Aaron Thornton (two goals each) pushed the margin out to five good kicks at the final change and leave the side confident off running it out comfortably.

But they were put to the sword in the final term as Yarra Valley’s forwards had it on a string. Ross Little (three goals) and Matthew Gazeas (two goals) lit it up to boot four goals in about as many minutes to leave St John’s stunned.

Yarra stole the lead, the first time the JOCs have trailed in the final term this year, and forced the best out of the Dandy amateurs to stay undefeated.

Ben Ayache made his return to the St John’s senior line-up - following last year’s serious knee injury - and played his role in the last with debutant Nathan Mcconchie.

Their work up and down the wings and willingness to fly for grabs and spoils alike against the bigger Bushrangers’ bodies worked a treat.

Inch by inch the ball got back towards the St John’s goals as bodies flew in to keep the rolling scrums going.

Hotheadedness- whether by deed or speech - cost the visitors greatly as a reckless bump resulted in Nicholson getting a down-the-field free kick and a 50-metre penalty. He sealed his shot to boot the side ahead in the dying stages. It left a handful of minutes left for the Bushrangers to conjure up another goal, but the dour work of Glenn Costas, Corey Ladson and Bahaa Khoweiss stopped the rot.

One last roll of the Yarra dice was rushed by the JOCs as the siren soon sounded on the hosts’ triumphant battle.

“First time we were behind in the last term this year, which to bounce back from that was good for us,” St John’s coach Ben McGee said. “What does come under scrutiny from the game is our ability to be able to execute our ball in hand game plan under real pressure.”

The nine-and-zip JOCs head up to Preston on Saturday to keep the winning ways alive.

Masala continued the winning ways in the city by thumping Chadstone 23.31 (169) to 9.2 (52). Sam Freeman (six goals) took his tally to 27 goals - while Wayne McMahon, Scott Becker and Matt Sexton all featured in the best.

Dandy Thunder strikes its way back onto winners’ list

By JARROD POTTER NPL VICTORIA 2 EAST - ROUND 17 Back on the winner’s list with a bang, Dandenong Thunder booted in a 4-0 triumph over the Ballarat Red Devils.

After a couple of “should have been” misses a chip from Brandon Barnes and a cracking run down the left from Daniel Bennett and a pointblank Veton Korcari effort that was amazingly saved - the Thunder finally tuned in and started pumping out its greatest hits.

Barnes (25’) had no such troubles getting the scoreboard going at the midway point of the half.

His 29th goal of the year - a Barnes’ classic from a one-on-one opportunity put into the lower left - opened the floodgates for the hosts.

Immense pressure at the back led to the second - an own goal from the Red Devils - soon after and the half-time 2-0 margin would be doubled by the renewed work of the Thunder centremen.

It was a night at the front for the Thunder, with Barnes, Korcari and Bennett peppering the net,

but the next would come from the captain Brendon Elmazovski (71’).

The skipper got on the end of some beautiful passing from Antonio Barbaro and Veton Korcari to thump in the third.

There were a few more chances that went begging for the Thunder, but at the end of the day it still made the most at the front to add another four to its whopping 63-goal tally... from just over half a season’s worth of matches.

Coming across from Richmond in the transfer window, Sam Catherine (93’) capped off his first outing at his new home ground with a last second goal to usher in early celebrations.

The Thunder and Kingston City are locked in a two-horse race for league victory - and direct promotion to NPL - as the ladder leading Thunder heads across to North Geelong this weekend.

Dandenong City held off a power-packed North Geelong 2-1 to keep its hopes of promotion alive.

The third-placed NPL 2 East side travelled strongly to the other side of town as Amir Os-

mancevic (32’) and Josh Frame (74’) booted the side clear while Keegan Ziada, Luke Burgess and Gonzalo Freddi created chances at the front and made life difficult for the hosts.

Springvale White Eagles made it three-fromthree for the local NPL legion, knocking over Werribee City 2-1 on the back of quick goals to Damir Stoilovic (18’) and Erdem Ozcagli (23’).

Springvale White Eagles are away at West powerhouse Melbourne City while Dandenong City features in one of the matches of the round when it hosts Moreland Zebras.

In the state leagues, Doveton SC had a comfortable 2-0 win over Noble Park United, through Lachlan Mcminimee (51’) and Senahid Tokalic (85’), while South Springvale’s winning ways ground to a halt with a 0-3 loss to Malvern City.

Keysborough drew with Hampton Park United, Harrisfield defeated Lyndale 2-0, Dandenong South won a 4-3 shootout with Noble Park, Endeavour United knocked over neighbouring Endeavour Hills Fire 2-1 and Sandown Lions drew with Pakenham United.

Jok embraces a second chance

By JARROD POTTER

Picture: JARROD POTTER

Tom Jok lays a tackle in a resounding first half for Vic Country on Monday. 155490 and just need to finish well and that’s something I’m working on,” Jok said.

“I’ve enjoyed every moment of the second chance.

“I wasn’t around as much this time last year, just due to injury and school footy - but I’ve got a second chance and another go at it now and it’s a great opportunity and I’m doing everything I can to take it.”

Vic Country coach Paul Henriksen was impressed with Jok’s efforts across his two Vic Country seasons and his absence on Monday for long stretches of the clash really hampered the side’s fightback.

“Really hurt us while he was off the ground with a shoulder injury for a while, a collarbone - that hurt us as the way it was,” Henriksen said.

Juniors take their revenge against South Australia

By JARROD POTTER Emphatically signing off their time in the junior ranks, Dandenong avenged an earlier tournament loss against their South Australian rivals to hold aloft the Medibank National Junior Classic pennant.

The Rangers senior boys hoisted the pennant with a thrilling 67-60 victory over South Australia’s Sturt Sabres on the long weekend.

After a gruelling schedule - taking on six games in three days - Dandenong’s Under-18 boys booked their place in the grand final after knocking over Basketball ACT, Central Districts, Diamond Valley, Melbourne and Eastern Mavericks in the preliminary rounds.

Against the power-packed Sturt attack - that at one stage levelled scores at 51-51 in the fourth forward Mitchell Barry (20 points) and guard Jack Perry (10 points) knuckled down to wrestle the advantage back.

Bayley Lawrence made some massive defensive plays to help seal the deal and earn the lads

Dandenong Rangers Under-18s earned the 2016 National Junior Classic penanant across the long weekend. Picture: SUPPLIED another trophy on the national stage.

“Really good tournament, everyone contributed which was really pleasing,” Dandenong U18 coach Darren Perry said. “Also helps us get to that last game on Monday with a little bit of petrol in the tank 'cause we’ve managed to share the load the whole way through.

“He’s been quite good over the first two games, so I think there’s still another work in progress but he’s a likely type.”

Jok has two more possible Vic Country outings against South Australia and the Allies to round out the championships before returning to Dandenong for remainder of his last TAC Cup season.

“It was a really good finals game - Sturt beat us at the Dandenong-Eltham tournament - so it was ‘here we are again’ but we managed to get over them this time.

“They tied it up with four to go and got some good offensive plays from those two guys (Barry and Perry) while Bayley Lawrence got some blocks and rebounds."

For Tyler Robertson, Barry and Perry, it was the second Australian title they’ve claimed this year after picking up a title with Vic Metro.

Dandenong’s Under-14 boys - coached by Brad Crole - ended their campaign on home court with a 41-49 loss to Eltham. The Under-14 girls were just pipped 41-44 against Eltham to finish sixth, Dandenong’s Under-16 girls finished up with a 32-39 loss to Basketball New Zealand.

Making the most out of 2016, Tom Jok has ticked all the right boxes.

With no school footy or major injuries halting his run at TAC Cup and Vic Country duties this year, Jok, 19, from Pakenham, has been in superb nick through the first eight rounds at Dandenong.

Averaging 20 touches, five marks and four tackles a match, the Beaconsfield/Dandenong Stingrays roaming wingman did more than enough to earn a second campaign with Vic Country’s Under 18s.

Despite the side’s win-loss record not looking as impressive as last season, after two early losses, Jok has relished his second chance to impress the football world.

Jok was on song early for Vic Country in its Queen’s Birthday clash against Vic Metro at Simonds Stadium.

An electric first term set the stage for Jok, as he was seemingly part of every passage through Vic country’s amazing five-goal opening quarter, but his match was derailed by a shoulder complaint.

Despite the injury, Jok was pleased with his performance - racking up 16 possessions and five tackles in the two-point loss - but the heartbreak of a devastating defeat was at the front of his mind.

“It’s good individually so far - playing my role and doing what I can for the team so far - but it’s just disappointing that we had our second loss in a row,” Jok said. “It’s pretty devastating - the WA loss was just down to who could be harder for longer and obviously they were and were more powerful, physical and showed it on the scoreboard.

“With this game today (Monday) it was a grind out and who could take their opportunities - and Metro probably deserved it.”

After he was overlooked in the 2015 AFL national and rookie drafts, Jok has set about ramping up all aspects of his footy this time around and seizing the opportunity he’s been received again.

“That’s the thing - I’m just trying to add a bit of consistency in my game and so if I can start well

DANDENONG DERMATOLOGY CENTRE, WITH THEIR EXTENSIVE RANGE OF MEDICAL GRADE LASERS, OFFER LASER TREATMENT FOR MANY SKIN CONDITIONS AND MOST SKIN TYPES. Dandenong Dermatology Centre have an extensive range of medical grade lasers offering treatments for most skin conditions and most skin types.

The versatile Dual Yellow Copper Bromide laser is a proven effective laser for a wide range of skin conditions; the Ellipse is the latest generation IPL available to treat a variety of conditions safely: Emerge fractional skin resurfacing laser will bring your most beautiful skin to light, and is suitable for very light skin and very dark skin Rosacea: A common skin condition that causes red pimples, flushing and broken capillaries (telangiectasia) affecting mainly the cheeks and nose of adults. This irritating condition, often causing uncomfortable face flushing can be safely treated with almost no downtime.

Sun damage: Skin aging is accelerated by sun exposure and decreased production of collagen. For the removal of age spots, uneven pigmentation and diffuse redness, our lasers offer the latest technology available. Facial treatments are most popular but most body areas can be treated including neck, chest and backs of hands. Treatment of sun damaged skin helps to keep a younger and fresher look and most skin types can be treated.

Acne: A common skin disease of teenagers, often affecting the face, neck, chest, shoulders and back, associated with overproduction of sebum (oily substance). Treatment is effective by slowing down the production of the sebum, with a typical course of therapy being four treatments at three weeks apart.

Vascular lesions: These lesions can include port wine stains, broken capillaries, diffuse redness, haemangioma and cherry angioma. They can occur in many sizes and shapes and can be found all over the body. Most skin types are easily treated with the correct energy output for your individual complexion.

WHAT’S NEW: Skin resurfacing: Fractional laser for skin resurfacing is available to treat light and dark skin, knock out those deepest wrinkles, improve the most challenging scars and help correct a variety of other skin imperfections. Treatments are well tolerated without lengthy recovery times.

Leg Veins: As we age valves in our leg veins become less efficient, so less blood is pumped back from the legs. this means blood vessels in our legs become larger, darker and more visible. Smaller vessels can be improved by Nd:Yag laser using a precisely calculated pulse of laser energy directed to the leg vein vessel being treated Glycolic Peels: If laser therapy is not for you there are other options! Glycolic Peels are a specific technique for skin renewal that help remove the damaged layer of surface skin cells revealing fresh skin, stimulating cell turnover and encouraging anti-aging effects in the skin layers. A series of glycolic acid peels can help the skin appear healthier, smoother, plumper, firmer, less oily and more even toned.

All treatments are tailored to the individual and are safe, effective and affordable!
