Redlegs back for a Dandy Day out

A cardboard cut-out of Doveton Hall of Fame member John ‘Meatloaf’ Calthorpe casts a shadow over Robinson Oval. 156219 Pictures: ROB CAREW

‘Meatloaf’ mourned A FAMILIAR figure cast an eerie shadow over the Doveton Football Club on Saturday 2 July as the team took to the field for its South East Football Netball League clash against Pakenham.

But unfortunately for his family, friends and members of the club that loved him, it was just a silhouette of John ‘Meatloaf’ Calthorpe, who passed away on Sunday 26 June, aged 58.

The club paid respect to one of its great characters and supporters with a minute’s silence in front of a cardboard cut-out before the senior game against the Lions.

Meatloaf has been a regular at Doveton since the late 1970s after switching across from the Doveton Lions Junior Football Club.

He was a handy footballer who turned his attention to being a trainer, doing so for at least 20 years from the early morning games through to the seniors.

Once finished with his training, Meatloaf

found a regular seat in the Doveton clubrooms where he became one of the more familiar faces in the local football league.

There are some great stories about Meatloaf, like the time he was sitting in his seat drinking a lemon, lime and vodka instead of his usual beer. When quizzed by the football writer of the time, Brad ‘Tangles’ Kingsbury, Meatloaf leaned out of his seat and replied.

“Tangles, the doctor told me I need more fruit in my diet.”

After another game against Tyabb at Robinson Oval, which was dominated by Tyabb’s champion ruckman Mark Redmond, Meatloaf stuck his head out the window and yelled at Redmond.

“Hey big fella.”

Everyone turned around expecting Meatloaf to continue with a verbal barrage.

“I don’t know what they’re paying you, buddy, but you’re worth every dollar. Well played.”

Well played to you, too, Meatloaf – you’re going to be sadly missed.

Crook set for crime TV

In Brief MP welcomes apology

By ANEEKA SIMONIS Dandenong residents Dandenong are being encouraged to sign up to a CCTV database to help police keep an eye on crooks.

Streets in the south-east could soon be under 24/7 police surveillance as residents with CCTV systems are enlisted to be the eyes and ears of criminal investigators working to drive down the rising rate of aggravated home burglaries and carjackings.

Proactive Policing Unit Sergeant Brad Johnstone said the database would be invaluable to investigations, particularly as police work to quash an emerging opportunistic crime trend, where offenders try a series of homes and cars until they find their target.

“In our area, the intelligence tells us that in some cases offenders walk the street and attempt

multiple houses or garages before they find one that is unlocked or easily accessible,” he said.

Recent figures revealed a rise in Casey’s criminal activity of more than 15 per cent on a per capita basis in the past year.

New or under-development housing estates are often hard hit areas in the south-east, according to Leading Senior Constable Frank Bailey.

He said investigative forces and civilians were already uniting to solve and deter crimes, with a number of residents already signing up to the initiative.

Home surveillance installations are becoming a growing trend in the region.

Leading Sen Const Bailey said people who had suffered a home invasion often went on to install security, including CCTV, alarms and sensor systems, at their home after their brush with intruders, and the same security precautions were often

taken on board by their neighbours.

A divisional CCTV database, only accessible to police, is intended to help solve crime faster and free up investigative resources, according to Sgt Johnstone.

“When an incident occurs, we have to door knock every house in the area to identify if there is CCTV available and this takes up vital time,” he said.

“If community members register their details with us, when a crime occurs we can contact them straight away and ask for their assistance.”

If you’d like to register, send the following details to CPOSD3@police.vic.gov.au: · Name, address and contact number. · Description of area covered by CCTV. · Type of recording system (hard drive, direct to computer, etc). · How to copy footage (USB, CD, DVD, etc).

Disney lawyers force amateur actors to cancel tribute

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Driver beheading threat Armed thieves jumped into a parked car in Dandenong while the driver sat inside, and threatened to chop his head off.

Police said the 25-year-old Dandenong victim had parked his blue 1997 Toyota Corolla sedan in David Street about 10.45pm on Monday 4 July.

Two men approached and one got into the front passenger seat and produced what police described as an “edged weapon”.

They demanded the victim’s phone, wallet and car keys and told him to lay on the ground beside his car.

“Threats were made to the victim that they were going to chop his head off,” Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Karen McIntyre said.

The victim handed over his phone and keys and the thieves fled the scene in his car.

The victim was not injured in the incident.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Hand stabbed in argument A man received a stab wound to his right hand during an argument on Scott Street, Dandenong.

Police said the 27-year-old from Rowville was walking outside the New Hotel with two friends about 8.40pm on Thursday 30 June.

Two to three men approached them from behind and an argument ensued.

The altercation escalated and one man produced what police described as an “edged weapon” and stabbed the victim in his right hand, causing a serious cut to his finger.

The attackers fled on foot and paramedics took the victim to Dandenong Hospital.

A Hallam-Based amateur theatre group has felt Disney’s legal wrath and has been forced to cancel a Disney tribute show.

Just eight days from opening night in June, Escapees Theatre Company cancelled its original play For the Love of Disney after being denied permission by Disney’s US legal team.

Exhaustive weeks of writing, rehearsing, hiring and making costumes and sets had come to nought.

“It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we must announce that our upcoming show For the Love of Disney has been cancelled,” Escapees posted on its Facebook site on 15 June.

“We have been awaiting permission from Disney for the show to go ahead, and we were hopeful and optimistic that they would support us and our ambition to create something very special for our audience.

“We have been informed today that Disney’s Melbourne office, in conjunction with Disney’s U.S. legal team, have denied us permission to perform our family friendly and fun-loving tribute to their magical films.”

The Escapees has rebounded quickly, staging its Impro Extravaganza comedy night along the lines of Whose Line is it Anyway? on 15 July.

For nearly 10 years, the Escapees has been sustained by 42 volunteers including its company directors Alice Scerri, Amy Planner and Alie Davis.

It started as a troupe of past and present Hallam Senior College students, and now accepts recruits from the wider community.

Its shows are original works written from within the company - such as last year’s Playwrighting for Dummies and Love and Death, and the scrapped For the Love of Disney.

“We’ve got so many passionate, creative and open-minded people,” Ms Scerri said.

“For a lot of people, when they join, they feel they come home. They find somewhere they truly belong.”

The Walt Disney Company did not respond to Star News before print deadline.

The Escapees meets at Hallam Community Theatre every Monday from 6pm to 9pm.

The Impro Extravaganza will be held at Hallam Community Theatre, 74-84 Frawley Road, Hallam, on 15 July at 7.30pm. All tickets are $10.

SOUTH Eastern Metropolitan MP Inga Peulich has received an apology from The Australian and a Liberal Party member who accused her of racial bullying last year.

Ms Peulich launched defamation action against the newspaper and Prasad Philip last year over the accusations in a story on 16 July 2015.

The Australian published a correction on 23 June 2016 that “Mr Philip now accepts Ms Peulich did not make any racist remarks to Mr Philip or racially bully him”.

“Mr Philip and The Australian apologise to Ms Peulich.”

Ms Peulich described the allegations as “unfounded” and welcomed the apology.

“As a person who migrated to Australia from Bosnia and Herzegovina as a child, as an MP and now Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs in the Victorian Parliament, such allegations are serious and the effect of this smear on my family has been both hurtful and distressing,” Ms Peulich said.

“The allegations have taken a toll on my family, my elderly mother in particular.

“It is a period of my life that I am glad to put behind me.”

Looking Back 100 years ago 13 July 1916 Congestion at the railway station From time to time the question of regulating the vehicular traffic at the Dandenong Railway Station has been suggested.

On Sunday evenings, a good deal of personal risk is faced by the pedestrian traffic dodging in and out amongst moving vehicles clustered around the entrance to the station.

Provision should be made by the railway department to erect a long railing opposite the entrance to the station, to which horses could be attached and so abate the present undesirable congestion.

Dandenong Telephone Service Dr Langley, secretary of the meeting of telephone subscribers, called to protest against alterations to the service, reports having received word from the Postmaster General’s de-

partment that it has been decided not to alter the existing continuous service at Dandenong.

50 years ago 14 July 1966 Tree sacrifice to end floods Work in progress on the Dandenong Creek, including the destruction of some trees, is being done to avoid a repetition of a disastrous flood which in 1934 turned Dandenong into a vast lake.

The City Engineer, Mr Gordon Wright, told Dandenong Council on Monday night that a flood similar to that in 1934 would be even more devastating to the industrial city, which has grown in the intervening years.

He said the work being done by the Dandenong Valley Authority was designed to make the creek capable of handling at least as much water as flooded the town in 1934.

The engineers of the Dandenong Valley Au-

thority are very conscious of the importance of trees.

They realise that some must go but they are doing everything they can to save what trees they can.

They have not touched trees behind the baths or those at the bridge and this is their general attitude. They will save what they can.

20 years ago 8 July 1996 Keysborough baker wins ‘gold’ Keysborough baker Jason Petric has won “gold” in Australia’s biggest and most prestigious pie competition.

Ivan’s pies of Boileau Street is the most awarded pie manufacturer in Australia.

In the past four years it has won three gold and a bronze in the Great Aussie Pie Competition.

This year more than 600 pies from around

Australia were flown to Sydney for the annual judging.

Ivan’s pies is a family-owned business run

by Ivan Petric, his wife Anne and their son Jason.

5 years ago 11 July 2011 Online shopping is an ever-increasing force in the retail industry.

But will there be a day when stores are completely replaced by websites?

When Peter Van Horssen set up a website for his slot car business 10 years ago, he sold two or three items a month.

Now he sells two or three items a day - a clear reflection of how the demand for online shopping has grown and how important it is for retailers to have, at least, a basic online presence.

Soft drinks raiders turned to salt The late Jack Johnson was 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. Sadly, Jack died on 25 June. With the permission of his family, the Journal will continue to publish Jack Looks Back each month.

JACK LOOKS

BACK JACK JOHNSON

THE Slades wagon was most colourful with all its crates of different coloured drinks.

So much so that one hot lunch time at St Mary’s School after the old Slades man had walked into Doctor Langley’s house, the temptation became too much for Nipper’s mates Tick and Guss.

They whipped out the school gate and across McCrae Street to help themselves.

The Slades man drove a two-horse ironrimmed wooden-wheeled wagon. He wore a full leather apron with a shoulder pad on the right side for carrying the wooden crates, which usu-

ally contained a dozen bottles of lemonade or a dozen mixed flavours.

Tick ran around the gutter side of the wagon and was reaching up to the crates at the front of the wagon where the brightest coloured drinks were.

Guss went in underneath the wagon, between the back wheels, and was crouching there.

Tick got the first bottle of bright red drink, dropped down and passed it to Guss underneath the wagon.

He went back to another crate to grab a bottle

NEW LOCATION @ 59A Heatherton Rd, Endeavour Hills, 3802 Your smile is our top priority.

03 8772 2053

of bright yellow drink, while Guss shoved the first bottle into his shirt.

Just as he did this, Guss spotted the old bloke coming back along the driveway, so he crawled to the back of the wagon to make a panic-stricken getaway.

He knew the Slades bloke was a savage old coot, not averse to whacking kids over the head or kicking their arse.

Tick, unaware the old bloke was coming down the driveway and that Guss was on his way out from under the wagon, was blindly passing the second bottle under and yelling ‘take it Guss, take it!’.

Just at this moment Mother Domenic walked out onto the school verandah carrying the large wooden-handled school bell.

She was almost to the corner of the school where she always rang the bell to summon the kids back from lunch and to line up in grade at the back of the school.

I don’t know if she spotted the Slades robbery herself or if some tattle-tale made her aware of it.

Whatever it was, she had a wide-angle cinemascope shot of Tick on the side of the wagon with the bright yellow soft drink and as she rang the bell, her voice boomed out “Terry Dockerty stay where you are!”.

I don’t know if she could see Guss crouched under the back of the wagon, but they both froze as if they had been turned into the proverbial block of salt.

The rest of us went to the back of the school, lined up and returned to our classrooms through the back door.

We never discovered the outcome of the brazen daylight soft drink heist, and Guss and Tick seemed to have been sworn to secrecy by Mother Domenic, so we never knew if the angry Slades delivery man dealt with the would-be thieves or whether justice was administered by way of Mother Domenic’s horse harness strap.

Staring into near death

New path for bicycle riders via the sky

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Who knows how Doveton cyclist Michael Lynch is still alive?

The 68-year-old grandfather of 13 partly attributes his survival to his battered $400 bike helmet and - half-jokingly - his “solid” build.

He has little memory of the crash on 28 January 2015 that led to an extended stint in hospital and months of rehabilitation.

From what bystanders told him, he had been riding straight ahead on Princes Highway, nearing the Jones Street intersection, when he was struck by a Hi-Ace van towing a trailer turning left.

Mr Lynch went down and the trailer’s wheels went over him. He was able to give someone his wife’s phone number before he was hospitalised in The Alfred’s trauma section for five days.

He suffered a closed head injury with brain contusions, as well as fractured ribs and three broken vertebrae.

“I think I could have been killed. Every week you pick up a paper and read about a rider killed.”

The driver was charged and fined $1000, according to Mr Lynch.

The collision was part of a real annus horribilis.

Just before Mr Lynch’s crash, his granddaughter died at birth, he had his prostate removed due to cancer and his brother passed away.

Afterwards, his heart took a “turn” requiring a quadruple by-pass.

Then there were the complications from the crash - stress, memory loss, depression, trauma, and a painful back that means he can no longer lift heavy things.

Every night, he takes anti-depressants to help him sleep, to stop him thinking “stupid things”.

The coccyx still “kills me”, stopping him from sitting on a wooden chair for long.

Then there’s the new watch smashed in the crash. Mr Lynch said his wife always told him not to wear it while riding.

Mr Lynch had been riding a bike since he was 15. He took it up with renewed gusto when he retired from truck driving.

Sky rail could be the conduit for a longawaited east-west bicycle link across Greater Dandenong, according to the council’s cycling draft-strategy.

The sky rail project may include a possible continuous bike trail under the elevated rail sections between Sandown Park and Yarraman stations.

Councillor Matthew Kirwan said the trail could form part of the council’s desired “strategic cycling corridor” on the rail corridor between Dandenong and Springvale.

“If we can link up to Springvale, we can get a link all the way to the Melbourne CBD. The gap is between Springvale and Dandenong.”

If the sky rail bike trail went ahead, the remaining gaps would be between Springvale and Sandown Park stations, and Yarraman station and Jones Road, Dandenong.

About 55 per cent of Greater Dandenong households have a working bicycle compared to a metro average of 68 per cent.

Cycling would be more popular in Greater Dandenong if safe, accessible cycle routes were made, whether on or beside state and council roads, Cr Kirwan said.

The draft strategy report states that cyclists are deterred from riding in Greater Dandenong due to gaps in the bike path network, peak-hour traffic, congestion around schools and busy intersections.

Other strategic links in the council’s eight year strategy including a shared-user path on the north side of Dandenong Creek between Metro 3175 and Lonsdale Creek.

It also nominates extending the Dandenong Bypass trail to link to cities of Casey and Kingston.

Submissions close to the cycling draft strategy on 1 August.

Above: Michael Lynch is on a slow recovery path after his miraculous survival. 156012 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS He joined Southern Masters riding group and made a lot of mates.

But there was also a lot of vitriol and road rage - not to mention bottles and spit - directed at him by drivers.

“I don’t think you’ll ever get people to like cyclists. There’s so many people who hate cyclists.”

Mr Lynch is back on the bike, riding in the

Masters lower grades, but keeping it to the track.

He said there’s also too many long gaps in the off-road bike paths.

“It’s hard to ride on the road. Cars drive up the bike lanes in front of you.

“Here’s the government trying to encourage people to ride to work. What if you live in Dandenong? How do you ride to Melbourne?”

Wired brain keeps Anne moving

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Parkinson's disease doesn’t stand still - but neither does Hallam trailblazer Anne Atkin.

Under a warm pink beanie, Ms Atkin is recuperating from a radical operation that wired her brain to an electricity-generating ‘pacemaker’ last month.

Dulled only by local anaesthetics during the six-hour procedure, Ms Atkin was awake as drills and screws bore into her skull.

“It leaves the dentist drill for dead,” a still shaken Ms Atkin said.

Two large frames were screwed on to steady her shaven head and also to help guide the electric wire into both hemispheres of her brain’s subthalamic nucleus.

Ms Atkin still sports two 10-centimetre scars on the left and right of her head. The 55 staples have just been removed.

Meanwhile, the ‘pacemaker’ - which will emit up to 1.7 volts to both brain hemispheres - bulges in front of her left collar-bone.

It is manually recharged once a week.

Ms Atkin said the gruelling procedure has brought her about five years of less medication, less fatigue and more movement until Parkinson’s “rears its ugly head again”.

By that time, she hopes more medical and technological breakthroughs will buy her more time or even a long-awaited cure.

“You can’t stay the way you are with Parkinson’s.”

Initially after the operation, she felt awful worse than before the surgery. Nauseous and vomiting, she wondered “what have I done”.

Then the power was activated 30 days later on 30 June. The electric stimulation stopped her neurones “misfiring” and gave more movement to her slowing, rigidifying limbs.

She has also since halved her dopamine-replacement medication as a result.

“I feel like I’ve defrosted.

“At the moment, I’m terrific but down below there’s Parkinson’s is progressing bit by bit.”

Ms Atkin has just put the finishing touches to her book - with her own cartoon illustrations - ex-

Anne Atkin with her latest nature-inspired artworks on display at Casey civic centre. 156117 ploring life before and after the operation.

Channel 9 News will air her operation in coming weeks. Ms Atkin is unsure if she really wants to relive that ordeal.

Ms Atkin, who formed the life-changing Painting with Parkinson’s group in Berwick, has just opened her latest joint exhibition in the City of Casey civic centre.

Her landscape pastels are of places she’s photographed, capturing dusk and dawn light and surging oceans.

Creativity is a major way of retaining quality of life, she says.

Ms Atkin is also ambassador for Walk in the Park - the main annual fund-raiser for Parkinson’s research and support in Victoria.

Picture: ROB CAREW Last year was the first time she couldn’t finish the two-kilometre walk in central Melbourne.

Thanks to her operation, she’s confident she’s got the distance covered this coming August.

“The good thing is every cent raised goes to helping people with Parkinson’s.”

Mayor fumes at council monitor A State Government appointed monitor - at a cost of up to $40,000 - to oversee Casey council’s governance for at least two months is an “absolute waste of ratepayers’ money”, says Mayor Sam Aziz.

The municipal monitor was appointed in the wake of a damning Victorian Ombudsman’s report into the council’s special charge scheme against 37 residents to seal Market Lane in Narre Warren South.

Mayor Sam Aziz said the monitor’s cost was “hugely disproportionate” to the $2204 interest that had been over-charged to Market Lane residents.

“This is such a disproportionate response it calls the judgement of (Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins) into doubt, unless it is simply political payback for council’s and my outspokenness against State Government waste ... or denial of a rate cap variation for Casey.”

Cr Aziz said the council had already implemented five recommendations from the Ombudsman’s report, including tackling its over-reliance on decisions being made in closed meetings.

He said Ms Hutchins relied on an “out of date” figure of 37 per cent of decisions made in closed council in 2014-15.

The figure had reduced to 25 per cent in 201516 - “comfortably” within the Government’s 30 per cent benchmark, Cr Aziz said.

“As far as implementing the recommendations of the Ombudsman, council has already done it.

“It doesn’t need a municipal monitor coming up to $40,000 to Casey ratepayers to confirm this.”

He said Casey had also achieved above the state average on all measures of the latest annual Community Satisfaction Survey.

Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association spokesman Brendan Browne said the monitor was an “astute investment”.

“Paying up to $40,000 for a monitor will possibly be the best money the Casey Council has ever spent.

“This is a wasteful, secretive, unprofessional council that needs to be cleaned up.”

Mr Browne said Cr Aziz wanted to “pay back the money it wrongfully ripped off residents and pretend that the whole thing never happened”.

“The issue is much bigger than this.

“When the Ombudsman concludes that the council acted in ways that were contrary to the law, then we can’t all just pretend there is nothing to look at.”

A Market Lane resident, who didn’t wish to be identified, told Star News that the monitor was a justified move.

“It’s only for up to three months and I think someone should look at the way they do things.”

The council had been criticised in the Ombudsman’s report on 22 June for using a closed council meeting in 2014 to increase interest rates on the Market Lane special charge.

The affected residents were not given prior notice or the opportunity to object to the rise in rate from 4.25 per cent to 7.5 per cent.

Most of the affected property owners were against the charge - initially between $15,000$20,000 each, plus interest on a 15-year instalment plan.

As a result of the interest change, the amount payable increased by 23 per cent, the Ombudsman’s report stated.

In May 2015, the council had dropped the interest rate of the charge to 6 per cent, and in July reduced the overall charge due to the roadworks costing less than estimated.

During the September investigation, the council agreed to drop its 1.5 per cent "administration surcharge" to one per cent because it exceeded the legal limit.

Hallam Senior College looks forward to sharing information about its extensive learning programs with prospective students of Years 10-12 and their families.

Students wishing to enrol with Hallam Senior College have access to a wide range pathway options through a broad range of Year 10 Subjects, VCE, VET and VCAL options.

Dandenong Park is looking decidedly different these days. Workers have flattened the soundshell, bowls club rooms and kindergarten in recent weeks. Park-goers can now have an unimpeded view from Foster Street through to Shepley Oval. The park is in the midst of a City of Greater Dandenong redevelopment.

We value and promote all pathway options for students in Years 10-12

Forty American editors and journalists visited the Journal’s Pakenham head office on Friday 1 July.

They were delegates at an International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors conference held at the University of Melbourne.

They took a road trip to East Gippsland following the two-day event, stopping for morning tea at Star News Group on the way.

They met reporters, advertising representatives and production staff, and regional editor Garry Howe told them about the history of the company and its publications.

Later that day they stopped at the Warragul Gazette, a robotic dairy near Sale and a Lindenow vegetable farm.

On Saturday they enjoyed a pie and beer at the footy in Wy Yung.

A magistrate couldn’t quite believe his ears when the accused in a family violence hearing requested a couple of things back from

the alleged victim - his mobile phone and his dog kennel.

When he first heard about the kennel the magistrate asked the lawyer to repeat themselves.

Delivering the kennel was a problem given the accused wasn’t allowed near the victim or her house, so the lawyer suggested police accompany the accused to pick it up.

Another accused at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court smiled and winked regularly at his child from the dock while his lawyer argued his case.

When asked to stand, he starting pacing on the spot as the multitude of conditions of a full intervention order were read out.

Case adjourned, he waved to his child as he was led away into the cells and yelled a parting message to his mother in the gallery: “Send me some money, mum.”

He was heard loudly imitating a cockatoo in the cells, repeatedly shrieking “hello!” to another person in custody.

Victim’s drive to survive

By DAVID NAGEL Two people had brain explosions in Brisbane on the night of 25 September 2012 - one sits in a prison cell while the other has decided to open up her life to help others.

Glenn Cable is the man behind bars, convicted and jailed for 15 years for the attempted murder of Simone O’Brien after he brutally bashed her with a baseball bat.

Almost four years later Simone was the guest speaker at the Doveton Football Netball Club’s White Ribbon Day luncheon on Saturday 2 July.

Cable’s vicious attack on Simone, who he had met online just seven months earlier, played out in front of Simone’s daughters, Gabby and Ash, and left her with horrific injuries.

Her top jaw was smashed. Her nose and right cheekbone were broken, along with both eye sockets and her skull was shattered, so badly, in fact, that her brain was exposed.

One of the first people to help, her neighbour Karen Roper, has since described Simone’s head as “mush” as she held it together until medical help arrived.

Simone now happily shares her horror story under the banner of the White Ribbon Foundation to help raise awareness in a national campaign to stop violence against women.

The story of Simone’s relationship with Cable goes like this.

She had been divorced from her husband Trevor, father of Gabby and Ash, and son Zac, for four years before deciding to go online.

She matched with Cable, the pair agreeing to meet and pretty soon they became an item. But that warm fuzzy feeling changed quickly.

Cable became jealous of Simone’s children and friends and became controlling and manipulative.

He even lied about his finances. Simone dumped him, he came back. He later proposed to her in front of her children.

But the lies and jealousy continued to the point where Simone rang him to tell him their relationship was finished for good.

Within 10 minutes, in front of her own flesh and blood - she was almost dead in a pool of her own.

“I remember one of my daughters asking ‘will he come to the house, mum,’ and I said ‘no’,” Simone said in front of silenced Doveton and Pakenham players.

“But he came back within five minutes and I was attacked.

“I woke up in ICU a month later, my children had to say goodbye to me twice because the doctors didn’t think I would survive the first 48 hours.”

The bones in Simone’s left arm, which she had used as a shield, had broken through her skin, she

“My main message to you males is that it’s very important that if you have a friend in trouble that you speak up and not let anyone else go through what I have been through.”

Simone has one other goal that is keeping her focussed.

“This year it’s to run a marathon in October and to never give up, to keep fighting each and every day of my life.”

had lost the sight of her right eye, her sense of smell, and couldn’t open her jaw more than two millimetres. She has since had her face rebuilt with titanium and has one more operation to go to complete her current objectives.

“It’s been a four-year recovery and I still haven’t come to terms with a lot of things just yet,” she told her audience.

“My goal in life is to wake up every day, smile, and be positive and look towards the future. Telling my story is all about raising awareness.

Hospital is told to lift its game

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH When a life is at risk, a hospital seems the safest place to be.

But that wasn’t the case for Cranbourne disabled adult Corey McDonald when staff at the Dandenong Hospital couldn’t operate ceiling hoists needed to lift him in and out of his wheelchair. After four hours in the hospital waiting room, Corey’s father Bruce started to worry. But he soon realised the problem most likely wouldn’t be Corey’s health - but the hospital’s inability to service and maintain its ceiling hoists.

“It’s not the first time we’ve had this problem and we wouldn’t be the only families having these issues,” Bruce told the News.

After the five-and-half-hour ordeal, Monash Health Hospital staff tried six ceiling hoists to lift Corey, four of which were uncharged and one of which displayed a service sticker dated May 2015.

Corey’s parents are calling the incident “ludicrous”.

It began on Wednesday 29 June, when Corey came down with a cough.

“Corey was having trouble breathing when laying down, he was gasping for breath, we knew it was not normal,” mum Christine said.

The McDonalds rushed Corey in their fittedout van to the closest hospital with ceiling hoists.

“We were rushed through which was excellent - the first hoist was charged and worked and after an examination and medication we were right to come home,” Christine said.

“There are two hoists in each bay, but neither worked - at one stage we had five staff members playing around with it trying to get the hoists to work.”

The McDonalds were told by staff that the hoists were rarely used.

Bruce said a staff member from another ward who apparently knew how to operate the hoists was called to assist, but declined.

“In the end a working hoist was found but a

Christine with her son Corey at their Cranbourne home. 145046 patient who was in a four-bedded emergency room had to be moved out,” Christine said.

But before this working hoist was located, the McDonalds were told an ambulance would have to be called to transport their son home.

“An ambulance could have taken hours and needless to say, been an absolute waste of resources,” Bruce said.

“An ambulance should be there for emergen-

Casey’s night sky lit up by car fires

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH Arson continues to plague the City of Casey as a spate of torched stolen cars continues to keep the trend alight.

Police are investigating three car fires which occurred in the space of six days in the Casey Cardinia region.

The latest crime statistics reveal that Casey experienced a 24 per cent hike in arson-related offences compared to the same time last year.

In neighbouring Cardinia Shire there was a 78 per cent increase in arson-related incidents compared to the previous year.

The most recent blaze has left a stolen car completely burnt out.

The stolen infiniti sedan Q60 was torched in Laurel Avenue, Doveton, just after midnight in the early hours of Monday 4 July.

Witnesses told police they observed a white Ford truck in the vicinity of the stolen car at the time of the blaze.

CFA and police attended the scene, and police

say two males were observed near the car before it was set alight.

Detective Senior Sergeant Rob Clark told The News: “Setting a stolen car on fire is committing a further serious offence”.

“We’ve had a few car fires of late, and we pursue all avenues and launch prosecutions whenever possible,” Det Clark said.

The second incident, in the recent string of car fires, occurred in Wilson Street Berwick, about 2am on Wednesday 29 June.

But this car was not stolen.

The black Toyota station wagon was parked in a car port at the rear of a block of units at the time of the crime.

The owner of the car woke up to the sound of the blaze and smell of smoke, and the CFA was called to extinguish the fire.

That same day, hours earlier about 6.45pm in a secluded area in Muddy Gates Lane, Clyde, another car was torched on the side of the road.

This car was completely burnt out.

Police are continuing their investigation.

cies, not for general transport because expensive equipment can’t be used.”

A spokesperson from Monash Health told The News: “Our hoists are on regular maintenance schedules and meet all Australian standards.

“Monash Health is in ongoing discussion with the family involved in this matter and we have apologised for any distress caused on this occasion,” they said.

Door smashed in court escape An alleged drug addict smashed the front glass doors of Dandenong Magistrates’ Court and attempted to carjack a nearby vehicle in a bid to escape a seven-day jail term.

A court heard that Casey man Steven Hurley walked out of a Dandenong Drug Court hearing after magistrate Tony Parsons jailed him for non-compliance with a drug treatment order on 2 June. Hurley ignored requests by security officers for him to stop, and ran at the glass door exit, smashing the glass and unhinging the door, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told on 4 July.

He “squeezed through” the automatic sliding doors, and ran along Lonsdale Street, police alleged. Hurley then got into the front seat of a southward-bound car, and told the driver to lock the doors and take him to hospital.

As police approached on foot, Hurley allegedly slouched down and told the driver to “f***ing drive off or I’ll cut you”.

The McDonalds want to see Monash Health management take responsibility for the competency of its staff and the functionality of its ceiling hoists.

“It is ludicrous to equip a redeveloped emergency department with expensive equipment and then fail to ensure it is operational and ensure there are trained staff familiar with its use,” Bruce said.

Police deployed pepper-spray through a gap in the car’s window.

Defence lawyer Adam Maloney said Hurley - who has been in custody since the incident disputed the nature of the alleged threats, but would plead guilty to criminal damage to the door.

The accused would also plead guilty if a false imprisonment charge was downgraded to a ‘threat to cause injury’ charge, Mr Maloney said.

Hurley was also yet to plead to charges over allegedly riding while disqualified on a stolen motorcycle with false plates.

Mr Maloney said CCTV footage used to identify Hurley was “not particularly clear”.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen agreed the false imprisonment “isn’t made out”, and the alternative offence was the “middle ground”.

Hurley was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 7 July.

A NEW FACE AND NAME TO A TRUSTED AGENT For any client in the real estate market, it is vital that their most significant asset is entrusted to someone with knowledge, competence, passion and above all else dedication to ensure the best possible result is achieved.

After working for a number of major real estate agencies, Corey Le and his partner Nidda founded their own business, The C Real Estate in 2013, with a purpose to strongly build and enhance customers’ experience in the real estate market.

In the last three years Corey and his team have accumulated sales in excess of $50 million.

With over 30 years of local experience, Corey then set out to expand his influence in the local real estate market by finding the real estate brand that most closely matched his desires to be the most professional and accountable, to listen and respond most appropriately, to continue to be able to evolve and learn, be active and supportive within the local community, and like him, have a genuine passion for helping people, plus allow him to expand with the support of many other like-minded real estate businesses.

Corey found his new home, and today was delighted to rebrand his real estate business in Springvale, as Biggin and Scott Greater Dandenong.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Engineer is now hooked on fish

By CASEY NEILL Civil engineer Andrew Grant once worked in waste treatment and now runs the second-biggest barramundi farm in the state.

And Melbourne Barra in Bangholme will take top spot once expansion plans, to be finalised later this year, become a reality.

“We started as a concept for a yabby farm. That was done during the drought,” Mr Grant said.

“The drought broke and the market got saturated with cheap yabbies from New South Wales.

“We moved to fin fish.”

The farm now moves 50 tonnes of live barramundi each year and has the potential to expand to 600 tonnes.

“We essentially supply live fish to the restaurant market all around Melbourne,” Mr Grant said.

The Victorian Agribusiness Council (VAC) hosted the week-long Red Majesty Chefs Tour, which included a day in Greater Dandenong on Wednesday 8 June.

The Malaysian chefs started their day in the municipality at Melbourne Barra where they watched a fish feeding, tasted smoked eel and collected fresh barramundi, cod, silver perch and abalone for their lunch at My Cambodia in Springvale.

Mr Grant hopes the visit will support his export ambitions for chilled whole fish and fillets.

The farm grows barramundi from baby fish.

“We get in 25,000 a quarter. They go out the door at about half a kilo to one kilo,” he said.

“Ideally we’d like to do our own hatchlings and become self-sufficient.”

The business also brings in and distributes Murray cod, silver perch, eels and abalone grown elsewhere.

“We’ve just had some Balmain bugs come through and they all sold out so we’ll be getting more in,” Mr Grant said.

“We’ll be getting rock lobster, snow crabs.”

The eels are from out past Geelong and are stored in tanks with a lower water level, such is their reputation for escaping.

“Nothing here is wild caught apart from the

Andrew Grant overlooks the tanks. eel, because there are no farms at the moment,” Mr Grant said.

The abalone are also from down Geelong way, from a sustainable farm. He moves about 100kg each week.

He works alongside farm manager Ryan Burniston and student Tom De Vos, and has

three part-time contract drivers.

The planned expansion would boost the fulltime staff levels to eight.

Mr Burniston has worked in the industry for the past 10 years and has a Bachelor of Applied Aquaculture.

Mr De Vos attends school once a fortnight for

Tough times, but winning attitude faced them down

By CASEY NEILL Robert Moretti and Anthony Belmuda merged their surnames and opened the doors to Beletti in Dandenong in 2009.

The families had run The Grand International on Thomas Street for more than 20 years until Vic Urban acquired the site through Revitalising Central Dandenong.

“We had three to four years of advanced bookings,” Mr Moretti said.

“It was very tough. We probably would have still been there today.”

Beletti brought in just $300 on its first day, but seven years down the track has 30 staff, a manufacturing plant and a mobile kitchen dubbed Beletti Express.

The restaurant, cafe and bar, TanGold Pastry and RJ Sanderson and Associates were nominated for the Greater Dandenong Chamber Business Awards at Greyhounds Entertainment in Springvale on Wednesday 6 July.

Winners will be announced in November.

Briony Santamaria and Charly Scott were the morning’s Youth Enterprise Award nominees.

Make-up student Briony from Boronia has her own business, helps other students and shows initiative in her learning.

The 19-year-old said Australia was becoming more internationally recognised in theatrical make-up and prosthetics.

“This is going to increase the jobs and opportunities for upcoming artists like myself,” she said.

Fabrication apprentice Charly from Rye is completing a certificate three and four in engineering.

The 20-year-old said: “There’s nothing better than being able to build or make something you can be proud of.

“In five years I see myself being well on my way to being a good tradesman that’s respected and wanted in my field,” he said.

In 1993, Roy Sanderson was working in construction and doing tax returns from home.

His wife was pregnant with their third child

sister Anita sold their Melton bakery and started

his Bachelor of Agriculture studies, majoring in aquaculture.

It’s an industry that struggles in Victoria due to a lack of State Government support, Mr Grant said, his colleagues both nodding in agreement.

“There’s not a lot of aquaculture in Victoria,” he said.

“It sucks, actually.

“There will be shortage of good quality fish in this state.”

The Melbourne Barra facility has 100mmthick foam walls with a metal skin which keeps in the noise of 16 pumps running full-time and maintains a balmy 28-degree environment.

Tiny pieces of plastic do the heavy lifting in terms of keeping the water clean.

“We use microbes and put them to work for us,” he said.

“It’s a little plastic home for the microbes.

“We have something like 20 million of these things in our system.

“They take the ammonia out of the water and they convert it to nitrite.

“The there’s another set of bacteria that take the nitrite and convert it to nitrates.”

Mr Grant said that heating the water was a big cost.

“If you haven’t got these microbes cleaning the water for you, you’ve got to throw out the old water and bring in new water, which is cold, then heat it up again,” he said.

“By recirculating the water longer, our costs go down.

“Daily we replace 2 to 5 per cent of our water.”

Water flows from each side of the tanks into the middle, where it falls into a drain and recirculates.

It gives the fish a current and keeps them active.

“Otherwise they build up fatty deposits in their stomachs,” he said.

“They’re lean mean fighting machines and it shows on the dinner plate.”

Build it up and they will come

They mortgaged their house to the limit and he opened the first public accountants in Australia to offer on-the-spot refunds.

Mr Sanderson now has nine offices around Victoria and said staff selection and innovation were the keys to his success.

The business gives clients stress balls stamped with “take the stress out of tax” and business card shaped USB drives containing a rental property analysis program.

Paperless tax returns are now a reality as clients can sign their forms on a tablet.

Brothers Tee, Tian and Cliff Tan and their

TanGold Pastry in 2000.

“We’d expanded the bakery to a maximum. It was time to move onto something bigger,” Tian said.

TanGold employs 20 full-time staff at its purpose-built plant in Dandenong South and each day produces 90,000 croissants, pastries, tart shells and more for 200 clients Australia-wide.

The Cambodian-born siblings came to Australia via a Thailand refugee camp in 1983 and attribute their success to hard work, commitment and respect.

“Be sincere and honest. People can read each other. If you are trying to be clever it might backfire,” Tian said.

Build a business that’s ready to be sold.

That was the advice Jason Cunningham gave guests at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce breakfast at Greyhounds Entertainment in Springvale on Wednesday 6 July.

The author, radio and TV presenter, accountant and business owner said 44 businesses in Australia failed every day.

He spoke about the day he arrived home from school to learn that his dad had lost his business and that the family of five would be moving in with his Nan. They all lived in his dad’s childhood bedroom for six years, assembled taps after school and jewellery after dinner, and worked cleaning shifts.

Mr Cunningham tried to talk his dad out of setting up another business.

His dad ignored the advice and the company is now one of the most successful on the books of his son’s accountancy firm.

Mr Cunningham said it was crucial for a business to understand its purpose, what it gave to others.

“If you focus on what you give, what you want will come to you,” he said.

Mr Cunningham said a business which was ready to be sold ought to be profitable, have good cash flow, good customers and team members, and be able to operate without the boss.

He urged business owners to identify a buyer, be it a competitor, an employee or someone in a different industry, and then build a business that they would want to buy.

Greater Dandenong Council celebrated the municipality’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander links during NAIDOC Week.

Mayor Heang Tak said the week-long National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) event that ran from 3 July celebrated history, culture and achievements.

“Greater Dandenong sits on the land of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation and to this day our city remains a meeting place between our Indigenous culture and the new cultures that now call our community home,” he said.

Harmony Square in Dandenong hosted a community celebration on Monday 4 July that featured performances from Indigenous Hip Hop Project and the Jindi Woraback Dance Group.

There was basket weaving, a football workshop with the Dandenong Stingrays, art activities and Indigenous games.

Neighbourly mosque breaks bread

Sweets for treat

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Diets were swept aside for serious sweet-toothed sampling at Winter Treats in Wilson Botanic Park, Berwick, on 2 July.

More than 24 speciality stalls gave away free desserts and snacks under a big marquee as part of the feast.

It had been billed as the sweetest event this season and certainly would have more than matched the humble election-day sausages being served around booths the same day.

Among the decadent offerings were cupcakes from Cranbourne-based Kate Sargent and her home-kitchen business Sargent Sweetness.

There was a touch of Christmas in July, with Christmas cake slices from the Lioness Club of Berwick, and a mix of sweet and savoury treats from other stall holders.

There were also demonstrations in making

Lioness Club of Berwick members Mandy McGowanGrills, Suzanne Henman, Diane Maslen and Pat Ormerod dish up Christmas cake. 155941 Pictures: ROB CAREW bread and chocolate, and decorating cookies, and additional goods that could be bought and taken away.

Escapees and Bats theatre companies, as well as musicians, were among the entertainers.

About 100 neighbours of Doveton’s Afghan mosque were treated to surprise hot meals on 4 July.

Marking the end of the Ramadan, the mosque’s chef Yar Mohammad cooked up lamb curry, breads and kabuli rice which was delivered to the doors of surrounding houses in Photinia Street in the early evening.

Mosque spokesman Rokhan Akbar said it was a time on the Islam calendar that observers pay particular attention to their neighbours.

“We should be generous, kind and compassionate all the time but at Ramadan, we do more good deeds.”

The mosque had worn some hostility in the past, notably with its ongoing plans to build next door to the anti-Islamic Catch the Fire Ministries’ proposed church in Green Street, Doveton.

It also hosted the funeral of Numan Haider, who was shot dead after stabbing two police officers at Endeavour Hills police station in 2014.

But something changed when mosque members delivered food to neighbours for the first time last year.

It broke the ice with neighbours, drew some smiles and cultural respect.

It even seemed to relieve some tensions particularly over illegal parking issues during heavily attended Friday prayers, Mr Akbar said.

It certainly underlined the power of ‘breaking bread’ between strangers - much to Mr Akbar’s surprise at the time.

“We haven’t had that much interaction since but what we noticed was that there have been no complaints.

“We have better communication.”

Again, for the second annual handout, neighbours chatted, talked about the meaning of Ramadan and kids ran from houses to help young mosque members deliver the food.

The mosque also prepared a letter to inform its neighbours on the significance of Ramadan - and to thank them for tolerating cars being parked on nature strips.

SPORT Getting ahead without a big head

By JARROD POTTER EVEN if big accolades and soccer success come her way, Nikolina Bucalo knows she can’t let it go to her head.

In only five years on the field Bucalo, 16, from Doveton, has risen from first steps on field at the Casey Kings junior soccer club to the Senior National Training Centre (NTC) side in this year’s Women’s National Premier League.

Her on-field success - playing through the centre - has caught the eye of Young Matildas selectors as she’s in the reckoning for a spot in the 23-woman squad which is set to take on the world’s best.

She’s also keen to throw her hat in the WLeague ring as the talented teenager embarks on the next phase of her soccer journey.

“I don’t want to jinx it but I’ve been called up for the Young Matildas - made the top 41 and now they’re cutting it down to the top 23 and that’s the team that will be going to the tournaments and camps, coming at the end of July,” Bucalo said.

“That’s super major for me - it’s where I want to be at the moment and I’m glad I’ve got that opportunity.”

Despite a stop-start year with an ankle injury, Bucalo has managed to impress in the NTC ranks, especially at the NTC Challenge held earlier this year at the Canberra-based Australian Institute of Sport.

Her Victorian side rose up the ranks to finish second and Bucalo put it down to reformed attitudes and cohesive spirit throughout the team.

“We went to the NTC Challenge, where we did a really great job,” Bucalo said.

“We came second - we’ve struggled over the years with Victoria, we’ve always come last or second last, but this year we put a really good team

Staying humble, even on the verge of a Young Matildas spot, is important for Doveton’s Nikolina Bucalo. 156343 Picture: JARROD POTTER together and played really well.

“Attitude shift for sure - the teams were closer together this year and we all knew what we were doing.

It wasn’t just that we connected through soccer, we connected through friendship and everyone was there together and backing each other up, then we put that onto the field.”

Thumping win brings winter championship home

By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG Baseball Association (DBA) domination continued last weekend as the under16s brought the next State Winter Championships triumph home to the south-east.

The Dandenong brigade thumped Ringwood 6-0 in the finale on the back of some superb pitching from Chris Nilsen who rattled through five shut-out innings to hold the opponents scoreless.

He only allowed two hits for the final, giving the batters plenty to work with as Jed Woodger, Zac Skinner, Riley Trad and Dante Caruso started the ball rolling on the other side of the bat.

DBA under-16s coach Paul Rutgers was supremely impressed by the entire side’s effort, especially making the step up to the under-16 division.

“Just proud of how they went about everything - it was amazing how they went from 14s to 16s and went to play on a bigger field and it didn’t faze them,” Rutgers said.

“It was just like another year to them and it was great.”

It backed up an amazing weekend with the side only conceding four runs across the carnival starting from the pitcher’s mound as the bullpen excelled.

“Our pitchers threw awesomely - they controlled all the games - and I think we only gave four runs,” DBA under-16 head coach Paul Rutgers said.

“We hit pretty well and across the days we had pretty much all bases covered.”

The association has been in amazing form throughout the tournament’s history and Rutgers wanted to make sure this campaign was no different.

“On every level, we want to come out of it as a winner,” Rutgers said.

“We don’t go away just to play for a weekend, we go away to come back with something.

“It’s pretty good coming away with that win as most of our pitchers on the weekend came up from under-14s.

“It was probably good by us coming into this and we had a couple of kids from last year have their second year this year - and how everyone went over the weekend was just amazing.”

It wasn’t just a win for the boys either with Em-

Dandenong Baseball Association celebrated its under-16s State Winter Championship triumph. ily Devine and Lili Cavanagh making their mark on the competition.

Devine caught brilliantly at home-plate while Cavanagh was a hitting machine as the DBA choose their best from across either gender to suit up for the association.

“Lili probably got the most hits out of everyone - think she had four hits, one walk and three hit by pitchers - she was struck twice in the same spot - in the thigh - and had a pretty big bruise after Saturday,” Rutgers said.

“Emily was at catcher predominantly and nothing really gets past her.

“We just go with whoever will work to the plan we’ve got and that’s who we pick.”

Rutgers also wanted to highlight the work of the coaches - Chris Anderton, Theo Rutgers and Joe Caruso - for their support of the team.

It all started as an 11-year-old at Casey Kings, thrown into the boys side and given all the opportunities necessary to flourish and she credits her coaches there for pushing her along and giving her a chance.

From the Casey Kings, Bucalo went straight to the Victorian ranks at under-13s, 14s, 15s then entered the NTC under-17s.

It’s been a tough way to learn the game - always facing the best and most of the time squaring off against experienced senior players - but Bucalo wants the big challenges as it’s the only way to dramatically improve.

“When you get thrown into the deep end you really have to surround yourself with a good bunch of people that will help you through that,” Bucalo said.

“And I feel I have with these teams and also learned by myself - not just with everyone helping - as you need to learn by yourself to upgrade your skills.

“It’s been difficult - I’m not going to lie - I’ve been pushed around a lot because the girls are much bigger and especially with the boys, but it makes me a stronger player on and off the field.”

Whether or not the big selections come her way this year, she’s ready to return to training track and push herself even further.

“I tell myself every single day - stay humble,” Bucalo said.

“It’s not a good thing to get a big head and when everything falls apart you don’t know what to do.”

She thanks her parents and all her coaches Casey Kings coach Nele and Victorian program coaches Darren, Kat, and Stefan - for showing her how to act properly on and off the field.

Ready for the top Rio spot Greater Dandenong Warriors Hockey Club’s best hockey export Chris Ciriello has made his mark to return to the peak of the international sport.

Ciriello, 30, from Endeavour Hills has made the grade as one of 16 men’s hockey players selected to take to the pitch at the Rio Olympic Games.

The Commonwealth Games gold medallist and World Cup champion has been selected for his second Olympic campaign as one of 10 returning Olympians and six eager debutants ready to fight together to claim top spot on the dais.

Tristian Knowles will lead the side in Brazil, backed by an extremely powerful leadership group.

Chris Ciriello leads the way from Simon Orchard, Glenn Turner, Matthew Swann, Matt Gohdes and Tim Deavin to feature in their second Games, while Blake Govers, Daniel Beale, Jake Whetton, Matthew Dawson, Andrew Charter and Tristan White will don the Olympic uniform for the first time.

The team will head into Rio as the number one ranked team in the world.

The side recently claimed its 14th Champions Trophy in London and was the 2015 World League Champions.

When the competition begins on 6 August, the Aussies will face trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand in the preliminary round as well as Great Britain, Belgium, Spain and the hosts, Brazil.

The top four from each of two pools will progress to the all-or-nothing quarter finals, with Rio 2016 being the first Olympic Games to feature the new format, all building to the gold medal match on 18 August.

Stingrays revived by Dandy Redlegs spirit

By JARROD POTTER TAC CUP - ROUND 13 History repeated itself as the Redlegs and Purple and Golds locked horns in a thriller at Warrawee Park.

For the first time in decades, the VFA jumpers were brought back to life as Dandenong Stingrays and Oakleigh Chargers donned the heritage colours for the showpiece TAC Cup clash.

Imbued with Redlegs’ passion- revved up by the likes of Jim ‘Frosty’ Miller and Kevin Shinners during the week - Dandenong found a way back to the front to capture an 11.5 (71) to 10.10 (70) triumph after a seven-goal final term.

But it started horrendously for the Redlegsfor-a-round, as Dandenong butchered the ball and gave away five forward-half free kicks to the Purple and Golds in the opening quarter.

The bumper crowd - buoyed by the Oakleigh VFA reunion at the adjacent RSL - bore witness to Oakleigh’s red-hot start.

It resulted in shots aplenty for the hosts... but to Dandenong’s luck the Oakleigh boys couldn’t finish the job in front of goals.

The muddy conditions seemed to favour Oakleigh and it thrust countless forward-50s up to the tall Oaks to leave the Dandy backs haphazardly scrambling.

But despite the shot-spree, they didn’t bury the Redlegs. For all that work, for how badly Dandenong was pulverised in the second and third terms, the side was still in it come the final term.

Only a few waved the flag in the middle stanzas as Dylan Atkins, Tommy Glen and Matt La Fontaine got the ball moving. Jordan Stewart and Reece Piper were strong down back, providing some run-and-carry the other way and there was presence up forward from the Rat-Bat combination Sammy Fowler and Josh Battle.

But as bad as the third term panned out - as the hosts booted five goals to extend a 40-point gap - the scriptwriters weren’t done yet with this incredible story.

The gears turned rapidly for the revived Redlegs, giving Fowler and Travis Young a flurry of shots to bring the gap down to 17.

Dandenong was unstoppable in the engine room and Oakleigh was left to watch on helplessly as Atkins plucked a mark-and-goal effort from the skies before the little Rat poked his head up again to snag his second of the term, before Battle soccered one through to really bring the pressure.

By then it was panic stations for Oakleigh as the run-on pushed Dandenong to find Tom Murphy for the fourth goal in eight minutes to slash the gap to five.

Glen was the next Redleg to put his head over it, dishing off yet another clearance to find ... you guessed it.

The Rat. Fowler squeaked his way out of the pack at the goalmouth, laid a tackle, got onto the second effort and booted his third to give the Rays the lead.

Oakleigh rolled the dice to get one more chance up forward, but sprayed a shot across the

It rebounded back to the Redlegs half ... but nothing the hosts could do would extract it again as Murphy and Glen laid match-saving tackles.

Atkins’ starring role through the centre - continuing his strong TAC Cup season - earned him the award for best Dandenong player on field as the undervalued ruck/forward surely had a few recruiters jotting his name down.

“Just with their effort - third quarter there were some really critical times that they outnumbered us and just worked harder,“ Redlegs coach Craig Black said.

“Three-quarter-time we just challenged the boys to bring their effort, make a few little risks

and move the ball a lot quicker and we challenged them to kick five goals.

“Did we expect them to win the game?

“No - not after kicking four goals in three quarters - but with a bit of momentum anything can happen.”

Dandenong’s next round away clash is against Sandringham Dragons at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday 23 July.

City shines in last half hour

By JARROD POTTER NPL 2 EAST - ROUND 20 An ugly win is still worth three points as Dandenong City graciously accepted following a come-from-behind 3-1 victory over Goulburn Valley Suns.

The first half showed none of the finesse, determination or breakthrough speed that City has showcased this NPL 2 season as the Suns shone through.

They opened the accounts late in the first half and only through the hard-work of back trio Halil Gur, John Carroll and keeper Damir Salcin did the margin stay 0-1 from there on.

Even after half-time the City effort didn’t click into place.

When coach Aaron Healey switched the side around and made a few structural amendments though, the Dandy boys flourished.

Ross Frame and Amir Osmancevic started to trouble the Suns’ last line with a number of captivating runs and attempts on goal before the renaissance began.

The skipper Carroll (77’) got on the end of a well-weighted spot kick to head home the equaliser before Gonzalo Freddi’s beguiling run up the left could only be stopped by a Suns’ foul in the box.

Dario Matkovic (82’) had no problem slotting the ensuing penalty and the party truly began in the dying seconds as Keegan Ziada flicked a pass across to David Morovic (92’) to boot the third and escape with the points.

“I think we won ugly today but we found a way to win which was important,” Healey said. “We played better at times and have not won, but it was great to see when we scored that equaliser that it was only us who were having a crack at the game.

“I think probably the last three weeks we’ve played good football and particularly last week - had a great first half and came in one-nil down at half-time.

“This week I don’t think we played well in the first half - second to everything, really poor performance in the first half - and had a mountain to climb.”

Healey puts it down to City’s hard-work in the last half-hour that particularly sealed the Suns’ fate.

“The work rate - we didn’t have that in the first half,” Healey said. “We knew they’d come here and they work hard for each other, they’re an aggressive side and disciplined side and we wanted to match that and failed in the first half but did it in the second half.

“In the last 20-25 minutes we were able to take control.”

After an impressive 7-2-1 record from its last 10 games, City pride is at all-time highs as the side still holds out hope for NPL promotion heading into the last nine clashes of the season, starting against Brunswick City on Saturday at home.

Latrobe City Energy surge past Keysborough Cougars

By JARROD POTTER BIG V - ROUND 15 The unwanted streak continued for Keysborough on the weekend with the men’s side unable to get back on the BIG V winner’s list.

The Cougars are 0-7 in recent rounds and it only got worse on Saturday night.

The Latrobe City Energy came to town and shut down Keysborough’s shooting and left the Cougars without much to smile about through to half-time.

Keysborough could only muster 28 per cent from the field but despite a horrendous first half falling behind 26-37 - the Cougars charged in the third to make the match interesting.

The long-rangers from Calvin Enge (18 points, seven rebounds), Ben Morwood (11 points, seven rebounds) and Steven Haddrell (nine points) started making their mark from beyond the perimeter, while the in-and-under work of Jamie Leclerc (11 points) also impressed.

Rattling off 25-15 to reduce the gap to a scant 38 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 11 July, 2016

one-point margin at the last change, Keysborough had run-on confidence to spare as it tried to push past the visiting Energy.

But the elephant in the room was Latrobe’s mighty Jordan Coleman (23 points, 10 rebounds).

Coleman went to town in the final quarter to leave the Cougars beaten yet again as the horror trot in BIG V Division 1 continued.

The 11th ranked Cougars - sitting with a 6-11 record - remain a mathematical a chance of making finals... but would need wins and other results to fall their way.

The streak would have to come to an end for starters, especially on Saturday when the Cougars face Shepparton at Springers.

A nail-biter for the Keysy women saw the hosts take a 49-46 triumph over Altona.

After a back-and-forth first half, the sides were left deadlocked at the last break heading into the final term, the Cougars shot to the front on the treys of its entire roster.

Some of the heavier lifting came via Sarah Collins (12 points, 11 rebounds) and Lucinda John-

son (eight points).

Genevieve Abbott (10 points), Ratika Palat (five points, nine rebounds) and Tamara Matecic (three points, seven rebounds) all toiled under the hoop as well to push the Cougars to victory.

The win pushes the Cougars’ ladies to seventh on the Division 2 ladder heading into the last three rounds of the season.

For the Keysy ladies, it starts on Saturday night when it hosts Blackburn from 6pm.

Keysborough’s Youth Men had a rare victory this season on Saturday, knocking over Ballarat 70-44 on the back of some monster work from Adam Baxter (16 points, eight rebounds), Tim O’Donovan (13 points, 15 rebounds) and Thomas Stiglich (10 points, five assists).

The Toy Lady’s not for turning back

By JASON ADAMS Lady Toy will aim to claim back-to-back McKenna Memorials after an impressive heat win on Thursday night at Sandown Racecourse.

After she begun poorly, Lady Toy found a dream run on the rail and settled in a threatening position down the back straight.

She snuck up on early leaders Ballerino and Benta Bale before bypassing them with ease.

The win added to her incredible career record having won 24 of her 89 starts, placing in a further 37 and has earned $405,738 in prize money.

Polijuice Potion returned to her very best when taking out heat two.

She pounced out of box seven and was never headed defeating group one Harrison-Dawson winner Dundee Osprey by 2 3/4 lengths in 34.21 the fastest heat win.

Bruce Tycoon cemented a spot in his first ever group final as he took out the third heat from Sausage Sizzle.

American Monster claimed the penultimate heat for young training team Andrew Paraskevas and Ashlee Terry.

After being crowded early, American Monster charged through the field to take the lead approaching the back straight.

He then held off the fast finishing Mepunga Rosie to win by half a length.

Sandown 515m track record holder Unlawful Entry started hot favourite in the final heat of the night.

After only a moderate get away he quickly mustered speed to challenge leader Mepunga Fame.

Mepunga Fame looked vulnerable turning for home but was able to hold on to win from the eye catching Midnight Flynn and Unlawful Entry.

Next Thursday night is Vegas Night at Sandown Park and will feature an Elvis Presley tribute show.

rivalry this week with the heritage jumpers on show.

“There’s a bit of passion in this one,” Wheeler said.

1217432-RC08-16 1124822-CB12-14

Red and blue is back at Shepley Oval ... even if it’s just for one weekend.

The Stingrays will don the Dandenong Redlegs guerneys for Saturday’s TAC Cup heritage match against the Oakleigh Chargers - who will wear the famous “Purple and Golds” jumper.

The TAC Cup clubs decided to pay homage to their footy predecessors at Shepley Oval and Warrawee Park respectively, with both of the Victorian Football Association (VFA) clubs folding in the mid-1990s.

It’s not just a jumper worn for jumper’s sake though; both clubs have invited back some of the VFA legends to present the jumpers and tell the tales of clubs dissolved before these junior players were even born.

The Stingrays were presented their jumpers on Tuesday night by Redlegs icon Jim “Frosty” Miller - the enduring Dandenong goal-kicking legend who the VFL’s goal-kicking medal is named after - and Jack Marshall.

Dandenong Stingrays region manager Mark Wheeler said the idea was a special one as it honoured not only the Redlegs, but the legacy of footy in Dandenong as a whole.

“It’s been going on behind the works for about three years now,” Wheeler said.

“It’s taken about two years of planning but the idea is to make this an annual event - the first one is at Oakleigh this week which is great but to bring out the old Redlegs jumpers is pretty special for a few of us.

“If you have a quick glance at the jumpers we’ve honoured them on the top of the jumpers as well, so there’s a couple of special names on the jumpers and the boys got a chance to hear the stories and probably a little bit more of what it means.

“For us, Shepley Oval has been the home of footy for nearly 100 years so we want that tradition to keep on going.”

While a Chargers versus Stingrays clash is always heated, there’s a little bit of extra spice in the
