Students’ show finds new lands

The whole James Cook Primary School community has been preparing to display its singing and dancing talent on the Drum Theatre stage.

The Endeavour Hills school put on Journey to Bergen Town at the Dandenong Theatre on Wednesday 13 September.

This year’s annual production is about trolls planning a rescue mission to save their brethren from the Bergens.

But to reach them in Bergen Town they must travel through many lands.

Each year level brought a different land to life.

The Preps sang and danced to the Land of Dreams and Good Ship Lollipop while Year 1 and 2 took the audience to Monster Land and Land of Far, Far, Away.

Year 3 and 4 lit up the stage with Lego Land and Dr Suess Land and the Grade 5 and 6 students started the musical with Moana Island and ended with Bergen Town.

Principal Anne Burgess said she was proud of the fact that performing arts was one of many curriculum areas provided for students at her school.

She said this gave students the opportunity to build upon their prior experiences and knowledge.

It was important for students to develop their understanding and talents in different areas, she said, so that they can achieve a range of successes.

■ Pollution storm leaves victims struggling to breathe...

Sawdust shower Fresh reports of thick “sawdust storms” have emerged in Hallam, just ahead of scheduled Environment Protection Authority Victoria inspections of two soil yards.

Business owner Zlatibor Prvulovic told Star News that his neighbouring industrial chemist lab continues to be showered by sawdust, four months after the EPA issued Pollution Abatement Notices to the yards operated by Bark King and Folino Plant Hire.

Mr Prvulovic said the most recent “storm” was

carried by a southerly wind onto businesses in Bolt Court on 8 September.

“At times the sawdust storm is quite thick, impossible to breathe and to have your eyes open.

“I’ve had enough of breathing sawdust, it’s totally ridiculous.

“This problem has been going on for over a year.”

In a statement, the EPA said it had received site layout and dust management plans from both soil yard proprietors - with an extension of deadline requested by Folino Plant Hire.

“EPA is currently assessing the dust manage-

ment plans for both sites, and will inspect both sites in the next fortnight to confirm that appropriate site controls have been implemented.”

In May, Bark King and Folino were issued PANs - with a 31 August deadline to prevent dust escaping their boundaries.

According to the notices, excessive rates of dust deposits from the yards had coated a neighbouring industrial workplace.

The highest reading of dust in nearby Bolt Court was 9.42 grams per square metre per month in January - more than double the fourgram amenity standard in NSW.

“Numerous potential sources of dust are present on your premises and likely to be a source of dust emissions,” the notices stated to Bark King Group and Folino Plant Hire.

Hampton Park residents living about 300 metres south of the yards have also long complained of dust pollution.

The residents in Rowland Close and Glenora Way report regular and severe hay-fever, skin hives, asthma attacks, coughing and sore eyes suffered by children, young and old residents alike.

If they fail to comply, the companies face fines of up to $777,300 if prosecuted in court.

Families doing it tough as cost of living rises

By Brendan Rees Soaring power bills and crippling living costs have forced many cash-strapped families in Casey to turn to charities for help.

Figures from the Society of St Vincent de Paul show more than a five per cent increase in the number of people in Casey needing support over the past three years.

St Vincent’s regional president for Casey and Cardinia Caroline Arnett said rising household bills were hurting families.

“Every day there will be calls from people are saying they are in risk of being made homeless or being evicted because they can’t pay their rent.

And they might have three or four or even five children,” she said.

Ms Arnett said St Vincent’s was visiting on average 497 people per month, adding Cranbourne was “under the pump” with calls from the community as more people were in danger of being evicted from their homes.

“We had quite a few incidences recently of people living in their cars. Just providing assistance there and assisting people to get back on their feet.”

St Vincent’s had also seen a 30 per cent rise in providing material aid and support delivered to people in the City of Casey and surrounding areas.

Ms Arnett said St Vincent’s recently helped a Casey mother of four children who were freezing in their home.

“The call came in later on a Friday and they needed blankets and some bedding. Normally we would visit on a Monday. So a couple of people went down and saw the family, found out their circumstances, then went to Target and bought blankets.

“She was freezing. Absolutely freezing. Two of kids were very young. How could you walk away from them and leave them a whole weekend to freeze?”

Among those in need of help is Jo, of Cranbourne, who regularly uses the Vinnies soup van when it stops in Cranbourne.

Jo, who wished not be reveal her surname, has been unemployed since suffering a work injury a year ago but hopes to find a job soon.

Vinnies soup volunteer Martin Van Diemen provides some food to Cranbourne resident Jo where the soup van Picture: BRENDAN REES stops in Lyall Street, Cranbourne, during the week. 172964 She says if it wasn’t for the Vinnies soup van “I’d be very hungry ... probably sick”.

“I have friends who appreciate it. They are unable to make it here so I help them out in coming here to get them food. But a lot of people are doing it hard at the moment and if they didn’t have this type of service there would be a lot of suffering.”

St Vincent’s Southern Central Council deputy president Michael Quinn said the situation was “getting worse” with people paying up $400 a week for rent, leaving them with not much left for food expenses.

“They can’t afford to feed their children. They can’t afford to feed themselves.”

“Parents are struggling to pay for school fees.

They’re struggling to send their children on

school camps. They’re struggling to pay for uniforms,” he said.

Rising gas and electricity bills, he said, were alarming, adding “these things are going up 30 to 40 per cent,” with many on the brink of homelessness.

He said all calls were assessed on a case-bycase basis and St Vincent’s was committed to supporting people experiencing poverty and social isolation, face to face.

“We don’t get any government funding at all.

We have our stores and people can help the society by supporting our stores.”

Cranbourne MP Jude Perera said the State Government had invested $799 million in housing and homelessness support, and would deliver more than 6000 social housing units.

Police hunt for machete men after home invasion Three men brandishing machetes forced their way into a Hallam home, police allege.

Casey CIU detectives are investigating the aggravated burglary, which occurred in Glenburn Drive, about 2.40pm on Thursday 31 August.

They said three men jumped the side fence of a property, confronted a 17-year-old woman and forced their way into the home through a side door.

The trio moved through the house until a man confronted them.

They ran from the house and were last seen in Hinrichsen Drive. No-one was injured during the incident. Police have released CCTV and photos of three people who might be able to assist with their investigation.

Bail denied to sex offender

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A registered sex offender who denied holding sexually-explicit online chats with a 17-year-old girl has been refused bail.

Richard Kelly had been accused of having the chats since January and while knowing the girl’s age at the time.

During one conversation, Kelly sent an explicit video of himself, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard on 11 September.

He was on a community corrections order at the time.

Kelly was also accused of failing to inform police after he moved out of a Doveton house and then a Dandenong boarding house in rapid succession in August.

He had also allegedly used up to five email accounts that hadn’t been disclosed to police.

On 10 September, Kelly was arrested by Greater Dandenong SOCIT police officers at a Carrum Downs friend’s place.

Up to that point, police allegedly had been unable to locate him for more than two weeks, the court was told.

Kelly had also recently failed to turn up to his compulsory drug treatment appointments.

The bail applicant denied he’d had contact with the friend’s three children who lived at the address, informant Leading Senior Constable Allison Goff told the court.

He claimed that he’d visited the address for meals and showers, but had never lived there. “(Kelly) has been friends with this person for over 20 years and been attending the house on a regular basis for two weeks,” LSC Goff said.

“I find it highly unlikely (that he’s had no contact with the children).”

During a police interview, Kelly admitted to using about 0.15 grams of ice a fortnight - as well as cannabis - and to “occasionally” trafficking drugs, LSC Goff said.

In seeking bail, Kelly nominated a Frankston North address. It was found unsuitable by police due to the occupant’s criminal history as well as grandchildren visiting the address, LSC Goff said.

Defence lawyer Adrian Dessi said Kelly was not charged for any contact with children, other than for not reporting his online chat to police.

It was the first time Kelly had been in custody and was entitled to the presumption of bail, Mr Dessi said.

In July 2016, Kelly was registered on the state’s sex offender registry for life, the court heard.

Since then he has been serving a 30-month community corrections order for possessing child pornography and soliciting a child under 16 for sex.

In refusing bail, magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he was concerned about Kelly’s lack of suitable abode, lack of available drug treatment and his “surreptitious” behaviour.

In all, Mr Vandersteen rated Kelly as an unacceptable risk of re-offending on bail.

Police are searching for these men.

Looking Back

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society

100 years ago Settling soldiers on the land In the Legislative Assembly on 28 August, member for Dandenong Mr W S Keast took part in the debate on the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Bill and is reported in Hansard as follows.

“After a good deal of experience of land settlement in this country, I have come to the conclusion that £500 is inadequate.

“A soldier may be settled on a block of land containing 150 acres, which cost £10 an acre, however it has to be cleared and fenced.

“You do not often find land that you can clear for £2 an acre, so that we may put down from £300 to £500 for clearing.

“It is evident that no soldier can effect improvements for £500.

“We all recognise what these men have done for this country and it is our duty to do

the best we can for them. The allowance must be increased to at least £750.

“I am satisfied that even £750 will be little enough to put a settler in a position in which he will be able to earn a decent living.”

22 September 1997 On the right bus A Dandenong bus builder is on the brink of securing a $100 million Hong Kong contract which will generate 250 local jobs.

Volgen of Hammond Road has built Australia’s biggest double decker bus under contract by Hong Kong’s Citybus.

Handing over the key to the prototype on Friday, the Premier Mr Kennett said the bus was Australia’s ambassador and he felt certain it would win the contract.

“If this prototype is acceptable it will secure an order for 200 buses over the next five years.”

“This will secure 108 existing jobs at Volgren and expand its current workforce to 350.”

24 September 2012 Council holds ace over pokies rights Greater Dandenong Council say the Doxa Social Club has no special rights to set up a pokies den in central Dandenong.

As reported, Doxa has been in talks with the council to find a suitable venue for its 40 pokie entitlements.

The entitlements were bought at $20,000 a machine - a total of $1.16 million.

Doxa lost its Dandenong venue The Bended Elbow when it was compulsorily acquired

by Places Victoria as part of the Revitalising Central Dandenong project.

“We’ve looked at a number of possible venues,” Doxa Social Club general manager Max Williams said.

“We’d like to use the entitlement that we already hold in the City of Greater Dandenong.”

Tin Shed and window shopping 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.

Sometimes if a couple of the horses were having worn-out shoes replaced by the farrier and blacksmith, we would have to wait a bit longer before we could take the horses along to the paddock.

The farrier worked in what is now called The Tin Shed on the corner of Scott Street and McQuade Lane, which ran to the back of the Albion Hotel.

While we waited we would visit the shops along that top end of Lonsdale Street.

On the Scott Street corner was the Bank of Australasia.

Next door to that was Osborne’s delicatessen,

BACK JACK JOHNSON

and then came Hattam’s, a drapery and wool shop where we went to get wool and cotton for mum and grandma.

It had the most colourful display of skeins of wool and wooden cotton reels and it had one of those zinger things which sent the cash up to the elevated office and returned with a receipted docket and change.

Hattam’s was next door to the Albion Hotel and on the other side of the hotel was Mrs Wilcox’s Blue Bird Cafe and Cake Shop.

The Wilcox family had a cordial factory on

Railway Parade before it became the Europa Cheese factory. Next to the Blue Bird Cafe was Chandler’s Laundry, then Reg Stevens’ fruit and vegetable shop.

That shop was the first to have wooden shutters that completely opened back and revealed the whole shop to the street, instead of having fixed windows.

He also ran a market stall and sold only top quality produce.

Potter and Sons Butchers were next, then Mrs Johnston’s grocery store and Miss Pickett’s Coffee Palace on the Clow Street corner.

At the back of the hay and grain store the roof of the loading dock was high enough to take the lofty wagon-loads of baled straw and bags of chaff that Murph’s dad delivered from the canvas covered railway trucks and goods sheds at the rail siding opposite the end of Hammond Road.

When returning to the hay and grain store with a full load he got us to run alongside the

wagon and tell him if the high load was going to fit beneath the subway and the railway bridge on Cheltenham Road.

I think he had taken to many loads under that railway bridge that he could make the load, and he only did this to make us kids feel important.

There was another large corrugated iron building on the corner of Clow and Stuart streets where Murph’s dad delivered loads of baled straw and to a lesser extent baled grass hay.

That building was used as an extra store house for Mr Patterson.

When we went to this building and played on the stacks of baled hay we wondered what the two large concrete blocks with bolts sticking out of them were used for.

A number of years later we learned that that building had previously housed the generators for the first Dandenong electricity supply, officially opened in May 1914.

Bail denied for alleged stalker vember, phoning the victim up to 130 times a day, haranguing her for money and visiting her at work.

During an encounter in November, he refused to leave her car. When she tried to drive to a police station, he grabbed the steering wheel and caused the car to swerve into nearby traffic lanes.

On 3 May, he was again jailed for a week for a further breach.

Three days after being released from jail, he allegedly committed his most recent offences.

Defence barrister Roona Nida said the man had never been in trouble with the law prior to November, and had been locked in remand since his arrest on 18 May. “The problems started as a result of having a relationship with the alleged victim.”

She said that the man had been confused about the intervention orders. As an Afghani, the man had “moved on” now that he knew the relationship was over.

Referring to a psychologist’s report, magistrate Jack Vandersteen retorted: “He sees himself as the victim, doesn’t he?

“He feels that these allegations are a complete nonsense.”

Mr Vandersteen said the risk to the complainant increases substantially with physical breaches of intervention orders.

“The difficulty is this: I can’t think of any (bail) conditions to reduce the risk of re-offending.”

If found guilty, the man’s sentence could well exceed his four months in remand due to breaching two community corrections order, he said.

“On the face of it, the prosecution case appears strong given that photo.

“It’s the same victim, his third breach of an intervention order ... He’ll be facing a substantial term of imprisonment.”

The man will appear at a contest hearing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 18 October.

Twice-jailed for family violence, a Doveton man has denied stalking the same victim days after being released from prison.

During a failed bail application, the 29-yearold argued in court he had been manipulated when photographed by his ex-partner in a Springvale car park in May. He faces charges including stalking, persistently breaching an intervention order and unlawful assault.

He had been on two community corrections orders at the time.

The man also denied approaching the woman outside her house in breach of an intervention order, asking for forgiveness and for her not to tell police, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard, She claimed he then followed her in his car and harassed her as she walked by foot to Springvale railway station.

As she sat in a male friend’s car in a car park, the accused allegedly tried to open the locked car doors and then struck on the car windows with his hands.

The victim took photos of him next to the car - with confirmation of the geographic location, police informant Acting Sergeant Craig Milne told police.

The accused told police the victim’s friend had got out of the car at a McDonald’s outlet and punched the accused several times to the head.

“They’re making up stories to get me,” he allegedly told police.

That night, he allegedly returned to the victim’s home.

“The victim is concerned for her welfare and would be concerned if he would be granted bail,” Acting Sgt Milne said.

The man had been previously jailed for seven days for breaching an intervention order in No-

A world-class Celtic dance, magic and acrobatics spectacular is set to land at Bunjil Place in December.

Celtic Illusion, with a stellar cast of internationally-acclaimed dancers from Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, will be one of the first acts to be performed at the soon-to-open venue.

The show will feature some of the “fastest tap dancing in the world”, says director and lead dancer Anthony Street.

It also boasts an “incredible” soundtrack from a team of composers including Angela Little who co-composed for Baz Luhrman’s film Australia.

“Celtic Illusion has enjoyed great success, reg-

ularly performing to sell-out audiences since the show premiered in 2011. We have people contacting us all the time asking when Celtic Illusion will be coming to their town, and so we’re really looking forward to bringing the show to the City of Casey to perform in this brand new venue.”

Street, who is also the producer, choreographer and “creative mastermind”, says he secretly took Irish dancing lessons while growing up surrounded by footy, motorbikes, racing cars and hunting in Melbourne.

It’s a story akin to Billy Elliot, which has seen him rise to world heights as an Irish dancer.

The show is on 3 December, 8pm, at Bunjil Place theatre. Further details are avilable at bunjilplace.com.au

Taking a pause in their memory In celebration of Mooncake Festival

12365672-RC38-17

National Police Remembrance Day is on Friday 29 September.

For police officers and the community, this is a time we can pay tribute to the officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

For me, it is a day that causes me to stop and remember mates and colleagues who have been part of my life and career as a police officer but are no longer with us.

Ted Hubbard is one such person.

I joined Victoria Police in 1994 and my first ever night shift was working with Ted. On our first shift together we pulled over a car in Sandringham and the three blokes in the car came out fighting.

I can still remember Ted holding his own against two of them as we managed to get them into the back of the van and wait for back-up to arrive.

It’s in instances like this you rely on each other, look after each other, and from this we shared an ongoing bond.

Ted and I became friends outside of policing.

He was a fit and determined person and it was this determination that drove him to try for the Special Operations Group.

In June 1999, Ted lost his life during pre-selection for the Special Operations Group.

Ted often pops into my thoughts and I’m sure on Police Remembrance Day his family, friends and colleagues will be thinking of him.

Unfortunately in my career spanning 23 years, losing police colleagues is something I have come to terms with, although you never truly come to terms with the loss of a colleague before their time.

Tony Clarke was a squad ahead of me in the police academy.

After graduating we would often see each oth-

er in the gym and talk about our passion for the English Football League.

We would chat about the experiences we were having as new police officers.

Tony was murdered by a motorist he pulled over in April 2005.

This was such a tragic loss to his family, the community and Victoria Inspector Mark Langhorn.

Police.

He’s another person who touched my life and who I think about on National Police Remembrance Day. There are 159 police officers who have lost their lives in the course of their duty.

More recently we recognise the impacts of policing attributing to higher levels of police officers committing suicide.

Each and every police officer will know someone who has struggled with coping with the stress and pressures of policing and we all wish they were still with us today.

On National Police Remembrance Day, I will be remembering Edward (Ted) Hubbard, Tony Clarke and other colleagues and friends who have lost their lives serving the community.

I know that friends, family and colleagues of police hold National Police Remembrance Day close to their hearts and it is a day to pause, reflect and remember those police officers who are no longer with us.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS FUNCTIONS

There are often good venue deals at this time of the year.

Countdown to party season is on Gateway president Russell Smith delivers his report.

More work and more members

By Casey Neill Gateway Industries is seeking more work and more members.

The Dandenong-based disability enterprise held its annual general meeting at its Progress Street headquarters on Tuesday, 12 September.

President Russell Smith thanked Gateway’s customers, which include Greater Dandenong Council, Greenways Retirement Village and Pacific National.

Gateway workers have disabilities, and complete jobs including gardening, maintenance, woodwork, and processing and packaging.

Earlier this month Gateway learnt that its second-biggest customer, the City of Casey, had ended its eight-year relationship. This will cause a shortfall of about $180,000.

Overall income from work completed was up about $1000 to $876,988 in the 12 months to 30 June.

“More and more the government are saying that we have to get the funds from our customers,” Mr Smith said.

“It’s very important that we run Gateway as a business. Our employees not only work very, very hard, they enjoy Gateway as a place where they belong. It’s a family.”

Mr Smith said the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) involved huge amounts of bureaucracy, money and complex detail.

“It has affected us and will affect us more, particularly in the next couple of years,” he said.

“It’s something the board will have to really look into and investigate.”

In his written report he said: “Because each employee will be considered on a case by case basis it is unclear as to how many of our people will remain at Gateway.

“We hope, of course, that most if not all of our employees will stay at our industry.”

Mr Smith told the AGM that Gateway needed new members and membership cost $5.

“That means you can vote on anything and nominate to be on the board,” he said.

“Think about our future.

“We’ll do it for our wonderful employees.”

In his written report, Mr Smith said the “enthusiasm, loyalty and work ethic of our wonderful employees continues to inspire us all”.

“To see the diligence of our employees, to hear of their superb work from our customers, to witness their cheery demeanour in the parks and gardens as well as in our factory is something that very few workplaces could emulate,” he said.

CEO Alan Warwick said the year had been a trying one for everyone involved in Gateway, particularly losing the Casey contract.

“That’s only given us another challenge to go on, to find something new,” he said.

The report from employee representatives Nicci Guttery and Peter Christoforou highlighted a graduation ceremony for certificate one in work education.

“We have had some people that have celebrated a milestone of 20 years working here at Gateway and some celebrating their 10-year anniversary,” they said.

Board member and Peter’s father, Conn Christoforou, told the AGM that people didn’t realise the pressures the place had been under during the past year.

He said the supervisors were not just a great support, but great people.

“They cover for everything and there’s never anything missed,” he said.

“When your kids come home happy it tells you something.”

It is never too early to book a work Christmas party.

Christmas is a busy time with a lot of commitments, the last minute rush at work, finishing up school and other events for the year, planning holiday breaks or for those in retail - dealing with the Christmas rush.

Diaries fill up fast with functions - not only for those attending but also for the venues.

So the earlier a booking is made the more likely the client is going to get exactly what they want and where they want it.

Some organisations have a standard booking each year and some get in as early as six months ahead.

However, for most organisations this is either over-kill or not possible and so late September and earlier October is the prime time to make bookings for those Christmas celebrations.

First things first.

It’s important to establish the type of Christmas party wanted - relaxed, formal, small, large

or something out of the ordinary - and look for options.

Budget and timing are also key factors in deciding which venue will be perfect.

Doing a bit of research is essential.

Check out the advertisements in newspapers for any good deals that might be around for favourite venues.

This is the time of year when venues will be looking for bookings, too, and will have announced any special packages that they have.

Talk to friends and colleagues about previous parties - word of mouth is always good but remember some venues may have changed hands or management teams and what was boring last year might be the place to be now.

Compile a list of favourite options to be circulated around the workplace, making sure the venue chosen has dietary options for all those attending and that there are public transport or other options available for getting home safely.

Bus maker articulates Japan deal A Dandenong-based business is delivering buses to Japan.

Volgren recently handed over two 18-metre long articulated buses - buses with the concertina-like centre - to operator Nara Kotsu Bus Lines in Japan’s south, near Osaka.

The relationship with Nara Kotsu is one of several Volgren has in the country, including an ongoing association with Japan’s largest bus operator, the Nishitetsu Railway Company.

That company ordered an extra five articulated buses last year.

Volgren has also forged partnerships with global trading company Mitsui and Co and Scania Japan to provide service and support for the vehicles.

“The delivery of the two artics for Nara Kotsu is the result of 18 months of hard work,” Volgren business development manager Jon Tozer said.

Articulated buses are rare in Japan with only a 10 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 25 September, 2017

handful operating in the country until Volgren’s entry into the market in 2014.

“We’ve found that operators are closely watching the operation and public acceptance of the artics and there’s definitely renewed interest, especially as they face driver shortages,” Mr Tozer said.

“Also, the costs associated with light and heavy rail means BRT (bus rapid transit) systems are now becoming a more financially viable and attractive solution.

“There’s currently no local Japanese bus body manufacturer producing articulated buses with the only other option being buses from Europe, that are non-compliant to Japanese regulations and not equipped with any Japanese accessory equipment upon delivery to the customer.

“The articulated buses that we are producing for the Japanese market are 100 per cent compliant to their vehicle regulations complete with Japanese equipment.”

HOME FOCUS

POTENTIAL DUAL FRONTAGE AND TWO TITLES THESE two separate titles with adjoining block are a truly amazing opportunity to turn this 1507 square metre block of land with a dual frontage into a prized possession.

There is the potential for two spots for access which provide an almost unheard opportunity for future development.

In such a premium location and on such a large parcel of land, this is ready for development and the only thing needed are plans and vision. Plus it may be suitable for commercial purposes.

The home itself enjoys three good sized bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, plus a study or fourth bedroom - the flexibility make it a dream prospect.

Creature comforts also include ducted heating and air conditioning, three storage rooms off the garage plus much more.

The new owner will own the block on two titles and they can rent out the existing home while they attain plans and permits, then develop and turn this into Springvale’s newest complex. ●

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN

Shoppers are loving soft play centre Endeavour Hills Shopping Centre is the place for fun every day, not just during the school holidays.

The centre is pleased to show off its new soft play centre which is located opposite Woolworths, near where the new K Mart store will soon be opening.

“We have had such a long time demand from customers for this piece of equipment and are thrilled to have it in centre,” said marketing manager Yvette Switalski.

“From the moment we declared it to be open it has been in non-stop use with lovely feedback from parents.”

The centre’s Facebook page also went into a frenzy with many parents sharing comments of thanks and delight signalling their clear sign of approval for the new playground.

The centre will have a week of Minions themed craft activities, with a special craft activities centre located near to the soft play centre.

A favourite Minions character will be roving throughout the centre each day providing wonderful photo opportunities.

Ms Switalski encouraged parents to bring their phones for snaps with the Minion characters.

She said there were also plans to fully refurbish the Parent’s Room located near the food court area soon.

“The new look will feature bright fun new colours and images for the little ones as well as more functional seating and privacy areas for breast feeding in private.

“The refurbishment will include new flooring, lighting and mirrors.

“It’s an exciting time at Endeavour Hills as we gear up towards the new K Mart Auto coming soon and the K Mart store opening.”

Be sure to follow the centre Facebook page for all the latest news and special offers from retailers.

Sana and Kerry enjoy the new playground at Endeavour Hills Shopping Centre. 173061

SPORT One hundred and now she’s out Polijuice Potion, one of the most consistent greyhounds to grace Sandown Park, has been retired following her 100th start on Speed Star Super Sunday.

Bred, owned and trained by Ian and Lisa Cockerell, the rising four-year-old was a fixture at Sandown Park throughout her career, making 68 appearances at the View Road circuit, including her last 29 track appearances.

“I don’t know what it was, she just liked it here,” said Lisa Cockerell after confirming Polijuice Potion’s retirement.

“She’d get out of the van here and always be up and jumpy and giving me cuddles and excited to be here.

“She was a bit quieter if she went to The Meadows and we didn’t try any of the other tracks once she hit the city tracks because it just didn’t suit her.

“She liked the circle tracks and we like it here too so it suits.”

Polijuice Potion, or ‘Butterfly’ as she was named by the Cockerell’s six-year-old daughter Morgan, certainly did like Sandown Park. Her overall record at the track was 68 starts for 16 wins and 22 minor placings.

Butterfly began her career in May 2015 and had never spent more than a month away from the track since.

She became a weekly fixture at Sandown Park in the final seven months of her career, finishing in the money 17 times in that time, a remarkable effort given each of those starts were in mixed grade or higher.

“She was pretty terrible early on,” said Cockerell with a laugh.

“She wasn’t one at break in that we thought ‘she’s the one’, so for her to do what she’s done, it’s pretty special.

Polijuice Potion retired after a stellar career.

“We do everything (whelping, rearing, breaking), so I, literally, watch them be born and watch them retire.

“I get really nervous the first time they go around, but am just so proud whether they win lose or draw if they go around and they’ve tried hard it’s the best.”

Polijuice Potion’s biggest win on the track, the listed Australian Sprint, came about in unusual circumstances.

With plans to step up to 715m in place, the Maidment Memorial over 595m was the target.

However a nomination mix up saw Polijuice Potion draw box 1 in the 515m feature that in-

Superstar Thunder striker is lighting up the NPL Superstar Dandenong Thunder striker Brandon Barnes has capped off the NPL2 season with back-to-back Best and Fairest awards at the FFV 2017 Gold Medal Night.

The 24-year-old, who scored an incredible 49 goals across 39 matches in 2017, also took out the Player’s Player of the Year and the Golden Boot for the second consecutive season, highlighting his dominance across the competition.

The Englishman scored 16 more goals than the next best striker in the NPL this season, with Shaun Filipovic next best for Dandenong City.

Barnes - who is once again likely to be courted

by A-League clubs, has now scored an astonishing 97 goals in just two seasons for the Thunder.

Thunder’s crosstown rivals - Dandenong City - have also been busy gearing up for another crack at promotion in 2018, signing Zeljko Kuzman, Steve Bebic and current Under-20s coach Semi Sivic as the club’s coaches.

After coming so close to gaining entry into the NPL’s top tier for 2018, the City finished second on the NPL2 East table.

Kuzman is Dandenong’s new head coach with Bebic the new assistant at Frank Holohan Reserve.

The duo led Northcote City to promotion from NPL2 west into Victoria’s top tier this season.

Kuzman has established an impressive coaching CV in his young career, having grown up and played in Adelaide before relocating to Melbourne.

He has already won promotion from NPL2 while an assistant coach at Richmond and enjoyed a stint as assistant coach at Port Melbourne.

Kuzman also has head coaching experience at Dandenong’s sister-club St Albans Saints.

Dandenong City president Tony Dorotic said securing Kuzman and Bebic was a coup after their impressive campaign in the opposite NPL division last season.

“We are very excited with our new coaching staff for next season,” Dorotic said.

“We were so close to securing our stated ambition of promotion into the top NPL division, and we believe that we are now well placed to go a step further in 2018.”

cluded Melbourne Cup winner Dyna Double One and track record holder Unlawful Entry.

“When I screwed up the nomination and won, it’s something I’m never going to forget.

“But there were so many highlights. Winning her maiden was awesome, when she won over 700m to win over all three distances, then her last start was really special.

“We knew she couldn’t match Zipping Angus but to jump as good as she did and try as hard, that was really special.

“She’s come up against the young gun coming through the ranks and it just proved that she can still run a pretty good time.

“She’s always tried - she’s never not - I think that’s the most important thing with her.”

Her final run was the third fastest in the Galactic Diamond Speed Star event, collecting another $500 to take her career stake money to $177,940.

Combined with her litter mates, the Kinloch Brae x Finlandia progeny have registered 55 race wins and $359,103.

Being a fixture at Sandown Park for as long as she has, retirement will take some getting used to - for trainer and greyhound.

“It’s different coming to Sandown without her.

She always went in the driver’s side front compartment, it’s always been hers so to not put her in there it’s definitely different.

“She was watching us weigh the dogs yesterday and she said ‘pick me!’ I don’t think she gets it yet and I don’t think she’ll take to it lightly.

“It’s bit of a privilege to have one like her. All the dogs are special but when you get one like her it’s a bit more special.

“It was a bit sad coming out of here last Sunday afternoon knowing that was the last time.”

Stars shine in Team of Year

Noble Park stars Jackson Sketcher and Kyle Martin have been named in Eastern Football’s Division 1 Team of the Year after outstanding individual seasons from the pair.

At the annual Chandler Medal, the two midfielders were rewarded for their consistent efforts in what turned out to be a tough year for the Bulls, finishing in seventh position with a 10-8 home-and-away record.

Martin played 16 games for the Bulls in 2017 but missed a handful of games, and was named in the best a total of 11 times, while Sketcher patrolled the wings and half-back to be among the best in almost all of his 17 appearances this year.

Although Chris Annakis of Doncaster took out the Chandler Medal as Division 1’s champion player, Martin - who played a bunch of games in the AFL for Collingwood only a few years ago, was able to finish inside the top 10 with a total of 14 votes.

Brett Dore (10 votes), Sam Monaghan (nine) and Ziggie Alwan (eight) all managed to finish inside the top-30 after also having strong seasons, while Sketcher (six votes) and former AFL-man James Gwilt polled just the solitary vote in his return season for the club.

There were some excellent names in the Division 1 Team of the Year, with Kris Pendelbury (Balwyn) - brother of Collingwood captain Scott - Matt Jones (South Croydon) and brilliant goalkicker Jake Best (Vermont) all named in the side.

Former North Melbourne midfielder Leigh Adams, who played 104 AFL matches with the ‘Roos, was named as the Coach of the Year.

Club and coach part with regret

By David Nagel Narre Warren and its coach of the past two years Heath Black have parted ways just four days after sharing the pain of grand final defeat together against Berwick.

The former Fremantle and St Kilda star met with the club’s executive last Wednesday night, where he requested a two-year extension to his contract.

But Narre Warren - which has a serious financial commitment to a new social facility being built at Fox Road - refused to meet Black’s requests, leaving him on the outer and considering his options for 2018.

“I’m gutted, to tell you the truth,” Black said.

“I have a great relationship with the club, but we put friendships aside and discussed the hard facts in regards to the business relationship.

“I was hoping there would be a way around it, and hoping to coach the club for the next two years, but we were poles apart, to be honest.”

Black, regarded as one of the hardest working coaches in community football, said his was proud of his two years at the club.

“I couldn’t have done anymore in regards to the amount of work I have put in and I can walk away with my head held high,” he said.

“The club nominated me for Coach of the Year this season, which I won, and gave me a strong grading in a recent review, so the coaching side of things was obviously not an issue.

“I just think there’s a lot of uncertainty about the financial impact of the new social rooms and that was the biggest issue.”

Black said he will quickly jump back on the bike and start pedalling to a new home.

“I view myself as a career coach and I will be seeking a two-year deal at another community club next year,” he said.

“I am already volunteering my services, in a small part-time role, to the Easter Ranges under 16s next year but definitely have aspiration to take

“I really enjoyed my time at Narre Warren, a tough place to coach with such a rich expectation on success.”

Magpies president Stuart Stephenson - the man who nominated Black for the Coach of the Year award - said the decision to not meet Black’s demands was a difficult one.

“As a club we were very happy with Heath’s professionalism and the way he presented the club to the external world,” Stephenson said.

“But the club has reached a fork in the road in regards to the social club facilities we have pending, which will be crucial to the future sustainability of the club.

“There are funds we will have to designate to

those facilities so we made an offer to Heath that wouldn’t compromise the club’s position going forward.

“Unfortunately we couldn’t agree to terms, but it would have been irresponsible of us to make an offer we couldn’t fulfil.

“Coaching is part of Heath’s occupation and we wish him well in taking his coaching career to a higher level.”

Club and council partnership sees exciting future With the season now just weeks away, Dandenong Cricket Club (DCC) launched its 2017/18 campaign in partnership with the City of Greater Dandenong last Wednesday night.

The City of Greater Dandenong’s support has included significant attention around facilities with councillor Angela Long announcing “it is only fitting that the Women’s First XI will play home games at Shepley”.

Cricket Victoria CEO Tony Dodemaide and chairman Russell Thomas were also on hand for the celebrations, echoing Cr Long’s sentiments.

“There’s exciting news in Dandenong”, said Dodemaide in a broad update of cricket in Victoria, “but also across the state it is an exciting time to be a part of the cricket family”.

DCC Vice President Kelly Applebee recognised the vital, ongoing support of both the City of Greater Dandenong and Cricket Victoria throughout the merger, saying that it, “allows us to create opportunities”.

“It has been a smooth transition”, said Applebee.

“It has been nothing but a success so far and

we are excited for the future.”

This exciting future will unfold under a new look for the Lions, which President Michael Findlay described as a “leaner, meaner panther” incorporating the colours of both DCC and DWCC. As well as looking forward to the season ahead, the night also celebrated the significant history of the club, culminating in the induction of a fourth ‘Legend’.

As a Life Member of Dandenong Women’s Cricket Club since 1999, Cathryn Fitzpatrick received the DCC equivalent only this year but has immediately been elevated to join Des Nolan, Graeme Way and Brendan McArdle as a Legend of the club.

Fitzpatrick, who grew up in the Dandenong area, has made an unparalleled contribution to cricket in the region and has an enviable record as a player and coach at both state and international levels.

Her achievements and contributions include: • Six time Dandenong Women’s CC Club Champion; • Una Paisley Medal 2007; • 103 matches as player for Victorian Spirit (debut Jan 1990);

• 13 Test matches, 109 ODIs for Australia (debut 1991); • Two World Cups as player and three as coach; • Australian Women’s International Cricketer of the Year 2004; • Order of Australia Medal 2004; • Honorary Life Member Marylebone CC, Lords 2017.

The night was rounded out with an update on coaches, captains and new players.

Key inclusions for the women’s XIs include Kim Garth (Ireland) and Jo van der Veen (South Africa) while the men welcome Jak Jowett (St Kilda) among others.

Sharp looks set the Subaru XV apart from rivals in the small SUV segment

It appears Subaru has backed a winner with the new XV, with sales of the small sports utility vehicle up 139.0 per cent for August, pushing the maker to becoming the fastest growing top 10 brand in the automotive industry, according to official VFACTS figures.

Subaru took a gamble with the XV, stepping out of the square with its sharper looks over the soft-skinned majority of the segment and augmenting this with technology designed to take on conditions other soft-roaders could only dream about tackling.

The second-generation XV comes in four variants - 2.0i, 2.0i-L, 2.0i-Premium and 2.0i-S - with a reduced entry-level price of $27,990, plus onroad costs, and is the second Subaru after the new Impreza to make use of the company’s acclaimed Global Platform, designed to provide high rigidity, and strength, together with less weight. Rolling resistance is reduced with special tyres.
