Our Oz mayor

By Casey Neill A Hallam man is the mayor of Munchkin City in the latest Wizard of Oz stage show.

Darren Tyler is in the ensemble for the production, which is touring Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.

"It's a fun little role. I get a cute little costume," he said.

This is the 20th musical he's performed in.

He discovered his love for the craft growing up in Endeavour Hills, where he moved at age six.

"I went to high school at Hallam High, which was the Eumemmerring Secondary College Hallam Campus back then," he said.

Mr Tyler also started dancing at age six and trained at Helen Alcock School of Dance in Hallam, now TJ Dance Studio.

"I didn't really know I could turn it into a career until I was about 13, 14," he said.

That was when industry professional Anne Marie Brazier came to the dance school.

"I thought 'I could actually get paid for this'," he said.

Mr Tyler started taking more dance classes, and added singing and dancing lessons to the mix.

"I started working as a dancer at 16 years old," he said.

"My school was very supportive of my career.

"I split Year 12 into two years.

"I was touring with an illusionist at the time and also doing dance classes in the city during the day.

"I got my first show at 21 years old."

He's also pleased to see the region embracing arts, through Narre Warren's new Bunjil Place arts and community space and Dandenong's Drum Theatre.

Mr Tyler has landed roles in the likes of Saturday Night Fever and Cats.

"I loved the Phantom of the Opera as a kid," he said.

"I just loved the extravagance of it all, the costume and the lighting, but it's not really a show that I'm right for.

"There's never really been a show I wanted to do except Cats, and I've done that twice now.

"I'm just happy to work.

"There's more and more shows in Australia now, but with more shows there's more people who want to audition."

He teaches dance when he's not involved in a show.

"A lot of the gigs I was doing before I got into musical theatre, they were corporate events," he said.

"The people that were in the audience weren't coming necessarily to see dancers.

"I think with music theatre, people are coming to see a show and that's what I loved about it."

Mr Tyler also loves the family feel of the theatre world.

"You become a huge family when you're working with the same people six days a week for months on end," he said.

The Wizard of Oz features all the movie tunes plus five new musical numbers "to freshen it up".

Like the 1939 film, the stage show starts out in sepia tones and "a burst of colour" marks Dorothy's entrance to Oz. "The twister is a 3D projection," Mr Tyler said.

The Wizard of Oz opens at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne in May.

Teenager’s home a smash

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A 18-year-old has faced court after smashing up her terrified mother's Dandenong home while searching for items to sell for drug money.

During the 29 April incident, the allegedly "ice-effected" woman threw pictures off the wall throughout the house and threatened to "kill you all", police informant Sergeant Chris Marlowe told Dandenong Magistrates' Court the next day.

When locked outside, the woman hurled pieces of brick through the home's windows.

At the time, she was allegedly breaching an intervention order by even visiting the house.

During an earlier alleged tirade at the house, she'd allegedly tried to strike her younger brother's head with a picture frame.

She was on bail at the time for allegedly stealing a box of $2.50 ear rings and a box of $2 cigarette lighters and assaulting attendants at a Frankston store on 7 March.

When pursued by the attendants, she allegedly punched one in the face and threw the box of ear rings at them.

She kicked and punched another attendant to the leg and head before police arrived, the court was told.

At a hearing on 30 April, police opposed bail due to her being an unacceptable risk of failing

to answer bail and of re-offending, as well as her violent past offending.

The former refugee also didn't have a suitable place to live, relying on a visit to WAYSS that day for emergency accommodation.

She had a poor history of compliance with Youth Justice, was in a relationship with a wanted juvenile offender, and drinking caskwine at a harmful, daily level, the court heard.

She claimed she had not used ice for at least two weeks, a defence lawyer said.

The woman was grieving over the death of her brother and grandmother as well as a friend in a car crash but had not received grief counselling.

"She says she needs help," a defence lawyer said.

"She identifies she is an angry person and is trying to get treatment."

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen commented that the woman was now under a different set of rules, being no longer under the juvenile justice system.

"It's not so funny now that she's 18 (years old)".

He had "no confidence" that the woman would engage with Youth Justice and support services.

The woman was remanded to face court the next day for sentencing.

Head-on crash fears Cars and trucks are driving into oncoming traffic on a busy Dandenong South street.

Clyde North man Geoff Wright contacted the Journal following two near-misses on Bayliss Road on Tuesday 1 May. He uses the one-way thoroughfare on weekdays to pick up his wife from work and is fed up with being put at risk.

"Yesterday was the final straw," he said.

"I had a camera in the car.

"It shows the car not giving way to me when I'm coming around the corner. I just missed it."

Mr Wright said it was worst during the afternoons as it was a way for drivers to avoid the congested Abbotts Road and jump straight onto the Western Port Highway.

"This is beyond a joke," he said.

"I could have had an accident. It could have been a head-on."

Greater Dandenong Council engineering services director Julie Reid explained that closing the road altogether was proposed. But feedback from the public in mid-2014 shaped the decision to open a section of the road to northbound traffic only.

"The council has received a number of complaints from residents about the number of cars travelling the wrong way down Bayliss Road," Ms Reid said.

"Council is currently in discussions with VicRoads about these challenges."

The decorated temple. 180381

Glowing tribute to Buddha Lights, lanterns and Buddhist flags marked special birthday celebrations in Keysborough.

The Dhamma Sarana temple installed the spectacular display to mark birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha.

Journal photographer Gary Sissons captured the scene at night on Monday 30 April.

Vesak is the most important Buddhist festival and is celebrated annually on the full moon of the ancient lunar month of Vesakha.

It is said that this was the time of year when Buddha-to-be Siddhattha Gotama was born, was enlightened and became Buddha at age 35, and passed into Nirvana at age 80.

The display includes statues of Buddha. 180381

STAR JOURNAL 3

… BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE The editor’s desk

GO TO STARCOMMUNITY.COM.AU FOR…

From “no through road“ to “through road“.

Logistics, trade, manufacturing, general industry ... these give the beating pulse to the Dandenong heart.

And any constriction of that heart’s arteries, diminishing that vital blood supply, weakens all of us.

That’s why this week’s announcement that the Remington Drive missing link has finally been found will be music to the ears of Dandenong South.

Traffic congestion and the sheer difficulty in moving around has been constricting Melbourne, and nowhere more so than in the South-East.

It shows the power of what can be achieved if the local business community, local community representatives, the local MP and the State Government can work in concert towards an outcome.

It’s hard to applaud all State Government expenditure at the moment.

On the one hand, $2.2 billion to cut suburban traffic congestion is heavensent.

On the other, random $50 hand-outs to encourage feckless wastrels to visit a website to save themselves money, do not encourage us in the belief that our leaders have a real feel for the value of money.

It’s the Nanny State at its worst.

We encourage readers to work to earn $50 yourself instead - you’ll feel better than you will dipping a hand into your fellow taxpayers’ pockets.

But we digress.

Our enthusiasm, and Dandenong’s enthusiasm for this new project remains undaunted, and we look forward to a seamless drive along it in the future.

Like those long-awaited Monash Freeway works, it won’t happen overnight - but it will happen.

In Dandenong, in 2021, our hearts will be free.

- Jason Beck

Budget hits on high notes

By Casey Neill Little India, Emerson School and TAFE students are among the local winners in the 2018'19 State Budget.

Dandenong's new Indian Cultural Precinct will receive a $300,000 boost as part of an overall $43.6 million spend on multicultural community infrastructure and events and helping migrants settle.

The State Government indicated more Greater Dandenong projects would be announced in the lead-up to the November state election.

Emerson School will receive funding to plan an upgrade, and $50,000 will investigate

replacing the roundabout with traffic lights at the Heatherton Road, Lightwood Road and Douglas Street intersection in Noble Park.

Greater Dandenong Councillor Roz Blades welcomed 145 new car parking spaces and 400 sealed car parks for Sandown Railway Station.

"This will be a big help with the extra parking we need with sky rail," she said.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said the Free TAFE for Priority Courses project would reduce financial barriers for training in courses that would lead to in-demand jobs.

She said 20 priority non-apprenticeship courses would be included at first, and a further 10 would be confirmed following consul-

tation with industry, in time for students to enrol for the 2019 training year.

Eighteen pre-apprenticeship courses will also be made free of charge. Head Start Apprenticeships and Traineeships will be introduced at 100 secondary schools, yet to be chosen.

Students will be able to complete another year of high school and graduate with an apprenticeship or traineeship, ready to start work.

Notably missing from the budget was an order for more trams and trains from Dandenong manufacturer Bombardier.

The VLocity and E-Class projects support

Cash for school pride is on cloud nine

By Casey Neill Dandenong West Primary is “over the moon” about its $5.1 million State Budget boost.

The school will demolish existing facilities and build a new learning community area with five classrooms, administration and staff workspaces. The cash will also build a multipurpose area and a canteen.

Money for planning came in the 2016-’17 State Budget, so the school can now appoint and builder and get started.

“The highlight for me is that we’re able to show our community that education really matters,” principal Beverley Hansen said.

“We’re absolutely so over the moon and excited.

“It’s just so wonderful for the school.

“For many years we’ve been hoping and working towards new buildings coming onto our site.

“It’s something the community has wanted.”

Ms Hansen said the upgrades would have an impact on student learning.

“They’ll be sitting in spaces where they can have absolute pride in themselves and their school,” she said.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said she was thrilled the students would benefit from new facilities and classrooms.

Elsewhere in Greater Dandenong, Springvale Rise Primary will receive a $1.7 million boost from the 2018-’19 State Budget.

Premier and Mulgrave MP Daniel Andrews said it would upgrade the school’s main administration and classroom building.

“Our teachers at Springvale Rise Primary School do an incredible job - now they’ll get the world-class buildings and classrooms to match,” he said.

The Victorian School Building Authority will work with school staff to help them identify where to best direct the funding, including through Bricks and Mortar training course.

Students Beka and Dhattatray, Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams, principal Beverley Hansen, and students Zohraa and Nyanajith. 180372 Picture: GARY SISSONS

more than 1500 jobs across the manufacturing and rail industry supply chain.

But a Bombardier spokeswoman said that despite no explicit order in the budget, the company continued to work with the State Government and Transport for Victoria "on the future pipeline of work for the Dandenong manufacturing facility".

"Bombardier remains hopeful that they will secure future orders for more VLocity trains and E-Class trams," she said.

"Bombardier has a long and proud history of local manufacturing in Dandenong, and we will continue to work with the government to grow this footprint."

New lanes, new lights Hallam North Road will grow from two to four lanes between Heatherton Road and James Cook Drive in Endeavour Hills.

The State Government announced the project on Sunday 29 April ahead of unveiling its 2018-‘19 State Budget on Tuesday 1 May. The 1.5 kilometre stretch carries 18,000 vehicles each day.

“As the Narre North community continues to grow we need bigger, better roads that are fit for purpose,” Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan said.

“We all know how frustrating the delays can be along Hallam North Road - so we’re duplicating the road and installing traffic lights at Heatherton Road.”

The upgrade will also add a shared path for cyclists and pedestrians.

Thin edge of the green wedge

9 May 1968 Library scheme rejected by residents Residents of Springvale and Noble Park have rejected a move for a free library in the district in a poll which showed little community interest.

At the council meeting on Monday night, councillors were told that of 20,000 ballot sheets issued for the public opinion survey, only 6219 were returned - a figure which shows alarming public apathy to a project of community interest.

A total of 2234 people voted in favour of the library and 3985 against.

The conclusion is obvious, the people of Springvale were not prepared to pay the money needed to build, stock and run a library.

Greater Dandenong Council has rejected plans to build a $50 million housing estate and equestrian centre on Keysborough’s green wedge.

However, the developer has vowed to fight on.

Last Monday the mayor, Councillor Roz Blades, used her casting vote to reject the proposal which drew heated debate from councillors.

The site is south of Hutton Road on 86 hectares of South Eastern Non-Urban area dubbed the green wedge.

The council’s manager of urban planning, Mr Bruce McConchie, said the proposal could not provide a sustainable edge to the wedge and should be rejected.

He said Hutton/Greens road should be adopted as the southern limit for potential urban conversion within the green wedge.

6 May 2013 Transport, roads on budget wish-list Improved roads and public transport services are among the top items on Greater Dandenong Council’s wish-list ahead of tomorrow’s state budget.

Chief executive John Bennie said increasing capacity on the Dandenong rail corridor, funding for Dingley Bypass and improving bus services to Dandenong and Keysborough South were priorities.

He also listed continued funding for CCTV, public toilets, landscaping and lighting.

Funding for the teen-boys program Gain Respect and Increase Personal Power should also be extended, Mr Bennie said.

He said the program, which worked with boys aged 13 to 17 who committed violent crimes, had a higher rate of success than youth supervision programs.

As a result of a recent inspection made by Mr Calloway, engineer of the Country Roads Board, in company with Mr Woodcock, shire engineer, it has been decided that the traffic over the bluestone bridge, on the Main Road at Dandenong, should be closed.

A notification to that effect will be found in another column in this issue.

Traffic on the Main Road will therefore by diverted to the Frankston Road, Cemetery Road, Hammond Road, and thence along Robinson Street to the Main Road again.

Mr Woodcock has in hand the work of preparing plans and tenders will shortly be invited for demolishing the old bridge and erecting a new one which it is understood will occupy about six months to carry out.

By Casey Neill A husband and wife team are serving traditional Afghan street food at Dandenong Market.

Jawad and Tahira Ali Zada opened TaZa about a year ago.

The stall name means fresh, and TaZa cooks bread daily for same-day sale.

Jawad said he used natural ingredients for the traditional Afghan flat bread, which is cooked stuck to the inside of a tandoor oven.

“We do have people from different parts of the world coming,” he said.

“We try to make their traditional bread as well.

“We have customers from Afghanistan to North China.

“We make their cultural bread as well.”

He sells to restaurants as well as Dandenong Market customers.

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL Jawad’s favourite dish on the menu is bolani.

“They’re healthier and lighter,” he said.

“They’re easy to pick up and go.”

The thin Afghan pastry features chives and coriander. It’s cooked on a hot plate and served with chutney.

“It has lots of vegetables inside,” he said.

“It’s Afghan traditional.

“If you go to Kabul, it’s the first thing people sell on the street.”

Mohammad makes bread at TaZa. Fillings include potato, spinach, cheese and onion.

Jawad has heard from customers that variations on the dish also appear in other cultures.

“In our first week we had a customer from Croatia,” he said.

“She said it was very similar to how her mum cooked it back in Europe.”

TaZa also serves two types of rice - chicken biryani and the traditional qabuli palow rice.

Tahira cooks the qabuli in the traditional way.

“She cooks the meat first and cooks the rice with the soup from the lamb,” Jawad said.

“It’s a special part of lamb that you have to use with a richer flavour.”

There are chicken, lamb, kofte and tikka kebabs on the menu, too.

TaZa will take part in the market’s National Burger Day celebrations, coming up on Sunday 27 May. “We’re going to do some marinated beef and lamb mince with charcoal bread,” Jawad said.

“Charcoal bread is very new.”

Rotary at your service

Vibrant Indian art Three new artworks will celebrate India and brighten up a dreary Dandenong space.

They'll be near Halpin Way and Mason Street and create a colourful gateway into Victoria's first Indian Cultural Precinct.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Youhorn Chea said feedback from the community highlighted the need for more colour and vibrancy in the precinct.

"The community told us they wanted the street to match the colour and vibrancy of the retail offer seen in the shops," he said.

"This new artwork goes some way to achieving this.

"The artwork by highly experienced and internationally acclaimed artists will be completed over the next month and are designed to surprise and delight visitors to the area."

A mural on the Mason Street car park by Rowena Martinich and Geoffrey Carran will be a reminder of Little India's status as Melbourne's hub of Indian and subcontinent culture and fashion.

It will take inspiration from the colour and movement found in Indian textile and tapestry designs.

Artist Julian Clavijo will create a mural of Mahatma Gandhi on a former substation in Halpin Way. It will portray Gandhi's message of nonviolence and peaceful co-existence.

It will coincide with a digital exhibition at Melbourne's Immigration Museum titled Mahatma Gandhi: An Immigrant.

A wall along Mason Street will be home to a mural by Springvale-raised artist Mike Eleven.

Mike was named one of the 40 most iconic artists in the Melbourne Street Art Guide and is co-founder of the world's first 100 per cent recycled artist ink, Lousy Ink. He'll paint Greater Dandenong's 2018 Australia Day Young Leader of the Year recipient, Aishwarya Pokkuluri, to represent India's next

Rowena Martinich and Geoffrey Carran with their emerging mural. 180026 generation in Australia.

She was recognised for her volunteer work and giving Greater Dandenong's most vulnerable and marginalised young people a voice.

All three artworks will be finished by the end of May. In 2015, the State Government announced plans to create Victoria's first Indian Cultural

Precinct in Dandenong.

A taskforce formed soon after to drive ideas for the project.

Melbourne's South-East is home to more than 52,000 people of Indian origin.

About 12,400 first generation Indian residents call the City of Greater Dandenong home.

Greater Dandenong officially has a new Rotary club.

The Rotary Club of Greater Dandenong held a cocktail party at the Dandenong Club on Saturday 28 April.

It brought together the Dandenong and Dandenong South East clubs.

The inaugural president John Peck said the combined club, with larger numbers, would continue to support the many community projects in Dandenong.

About 80 guests attended the launch including Greater Dandenong Mayor Youhorn Chea, Councillors Matthew Kirwin and Angela Long, Rotary District 9820 Governor Don Ripper and District Governor Elect Janne Speirs.

Cr Chea acknowledged the outstanding contribution Rotary had provided in Dandenong and said the council looked forward to working with the new club on community projects.

The new name was registered using the original Rotary Club of Dandenong charter from 1935.

Dandenong was among a few clubs that boasted Rotary founder Paul Harris at its first meeting.

Rotary Club of Dandenong South East had served the community for 50 years.

The event included an extensive display of history from both clubs.

Past district governor Ken McDonald spoke on Dandenong's history and Honorary Rotarian Colin Ferns spoke about Dandenong South East.

Public say on the market

By Casey Neill The community can have its say on the proposed Bangholme produce market this month.

Greater Dandenong Council approved the DandyFresh application to develop a green wedge site in Harwood Road last June.

Opponents appealed against the decision to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), but Planning Minister Richard Wynne intervened in December.

He referred it to a two-person advisory committee, which held a directions hearing on Thursday 26 April.

Public hearings are expected to start from the week of Monday 28 May at Planning Panels

Victoria in Melbourne.

Committee members Con Tsotoros and Kate Partenio will advise Mr Wynne on whether a planning permit should be issued for the proposal and if so, appropriate conditions for the permit.

In January, Mr Wynne's spokesman said the review would focus on the proposal's size and scale.

The Greater Dandenong Green Wedge Management Plan caps building heights at 8 metres in green wedge-zoned areas, and site coverage at 20 per cent.

The wholesale produce market would have 10 metre-high buildings and cover about 68

per cent of the site through a 5000 square metre sterilisation facility and 8700 square metre warehouse.

The spokesman said this process would help to determine whether the project delivered a clear benefit to the community.

A DandyFresh spokeswoman said in January that 200 jobs were on the line and that more than 40 growers in the South-East had expressed interest in the facility.

"Many of the growers and retailers in this region are currently forced to travel to and from Epping, creating congestion on our roads and adding costs to consumers," she said.

Defenders of the South East Green Wedge secretary Barry Ross said the group was relieved that the minister called-in the application "as we consider it is a large-scale industrial-type development that would make a complete mockery of the whole green wedge concept".

"Green wedges are meant to be about open landscape and rural activities, not large warehouse buildings and the busy truck traffic that this proposal would generate," he said.

Greater Dandenong Councillor Matthew Kirwan opposed the application, along with Cr Maria Sampey, and said the minister's decision vindicated their stand.

A wreath from all of us

By Casey Neill

Kevin Walsh lays the wreath in France.

12387257-EPJ20-18

A former Greater Dandenong mayor laid a wreath for the city at an Anzac Day service in France. Kevin Walsh attended an event to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of VillersBretonneux in northern France.

"There was an acknowledgement of the 52nd Battalion as the Gippsland Regiment and the wreath was laid on behalf of the city," he said.

"There were many photographs of soldiers from the 52nd Battalion who lost their lives here in the service.

"It was a very moving service that I have felt very privileged to attend."

On 4 April, the Journal reported that Mr Walsh was behind a successful push to name the Heatherton Road overpass at EastLink in Noble Park the Gippsland Regiment Bridge.

He said then that the 52nd Battalion known as the Gippsland Regiment - took part in many battles in France, including the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux in April 1918.

"After the First World War the Battalion was re-raised as a part time/militia battalion in Victoria and named The Gippsland Regiment and had its headquarters in Dandenong," he said.

He said it was amalgamated with the 37th Battalion in 1930 and sent to New Guinea during World War II. Mr Walsh presented a mug bearing the 52nd Battalion logo to the museum at VillersBretonneux.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Youhorn Chea authorised Mr Walsh to lay the wreath.

"On a day when we reflect on the sacrifices that service men and women have made, and continue to make for the freedoms we now enjoy, my council joins the many communities around the world this Anzac Day to pay tribute to the memory of those who fought, and those who were killed or reported missing in action," he said.

"We also remember the families and loved ones left behind by those who were taken too soon."

Marketing has changed.

The information revolution has changed marketing forever and too many businesses are being left behind.

That’s the warning from respected marketing consultant and media commentator Damian Morgan.

Mr Morgan will be in the South-East in June to lead a series of Future of Marketing Workshops.

For the second year in a row, Star News Group is holding workshops in the City of Casey, Cardinia Shire and the City of Greater Dandenong.

The workshops are hands-on, interactive planning sessions designed for small to medium business owners to review and improve their sales and marketing strategies.

Mr Morgan has advised many national brands and government departments - but more importantly he is passionate about independent businesses in regional areas.

“Too many small businesses are lacking sales because their marketing is stuck in the past,“ he said.

Mr Morgan encouraged business owners to take an hour out of their day to attend one of the workshops - to work on their business, not in it, and walk away with tactics to improve profitability.

The free workshops are independent and cover all aspects of marketing.

“The workshop debunks several marketing myths, and leads attendees through a simple but extremely powerful planning process to transform their sales programs - using proven

Hansa, 8, triumphed over 1500 other entrants to the Barry Plant Noble Park Easter Colouring Competition.

BP Bear was on-hand to present an oversized novelty cheque to Hansa at a special assembly on Monday 30 April.

Costly free parking A visitor from Perth reached out to the Journal after copping a parking fine for misreading a sign.

He parked in Clow Street, Dandenong, on 4 January, during Greater Dandenong Council's Christmas and New Year free parking trial.

The driver tried unsuccessfully to use coins and his credit card in the parking meter before someone pointed out it was a free parking day.

"Imagine my surprise when I returned to my car to see a parking ticket," he said.

He'd missed the "fine print" which said time restrictions still applied.

The council rejected his request to withdraw the infringement.

The first Men of Doveton graduates.

Mates learn The first Men of Doveton are graduating.

The program is empowering men to take control of their physical and mental health and is the first of its kind in the area.

Andrew Bazeley was among the inaugural 13 participants to graduate on Monday 7 May. He joined seeking social connection but found the program also inspired him to improve his lifestyle.

"I want to be fitter, there's a lot of health problems in my family - I've got type two diabetes and I want to see my kids grow up," he said.

"Every Monday I was looking forward to going and I was the first one there.

"I wanted it to be longer, it was only 12 weeks.

"It got me to try new things and it improved my mental health."

Men of Doveton is a partnership between YMCA Victoria, the Melbourne Football Club and Doveton College.

It involved presentations, cooking classes and sports programs plus support, guidance and social connections.

Doveton is one of Melbourne's most disadvantaged suburbs and features high rates of obesity, alcohol and drug abuse, and social isolation.

Eighty per cent of the men who signed up for the program wanted to meet new people.

YMCA Casey region community engagement officer Tori Norris said the program had a significant positive impact on the lives of the men involved.

She said the graduation ceremony provided an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on their journey.

"It was amazing to see them realise that if they want a happy and healthy life, it starts with them," she said.

"We want to show them that we're proud.

"Some of these men never graduated high school and this event is an opportunity to dress up and show off a little bit to their families."

Wicking bed vegie bounty

By Casey Neill A school garden is growing great guns thanks to wicking beds.

Athol Road Primary installed the new planters just over five weeks ago and students harvested a huge vegie hall on Thursday 26 April.

Teacher Bryan Hunter said he filled a water reservoir at the base of the wicking bed container, similar to a self-watering pot.

"This eliminates the need for surface watering where a lot of that water evaporates anyway especially during the summer months," he said.

"This also helps to stop weeds establishing on the surface of the beds."

Greater Dandenong Council provided a grant for the project, and the school matched it.

"We were able to purchase 76 of the wicking bed containers which are connected in groups

of about 20," Mr Hunter said.

"After five weeks from the installation and setup, we are now ready to harvest from many of the wicking beds, which has been much quicker than many of our other growing methods."

The project added to the school's agricultural program, which included no-dig gardens, vertical gardens, aquaponic gardens, fruit orchards and a greenhouse.

Mr Hunter said the wicking beds allowed the school to grow produce through the holidays because it only needed filling about every two weeks.

"Currently we sell all school produce at a weekly market along with our chicken and duck eggs and plants that students propagate in our greenhouse," he said.

"With the increased output of produce from the wicking beds we are hoping to use more at school in cooking sessions for students."

PAPER ADVERTISING GETS RESULTS

EXCELLENT LOCATION IN HAMPTON PARK

REGAL Rise, marketed by Max Brown Real Estate Group, is an exclusive estate offering seven precious vacant allotments ranging from 4000 square metres to 7845 square metres.

Tony Smith, head of the Max Brown Project Sales department, listed these lots firstly on the internet portals, and received a mild response and quite understandable as these lots are highly exclusive and for those who expect to build their dream home with dream lifestyle to match.

After five weeks - with still not a sale Max Brown then proceeded with the Star News Group full-colour page advertising and with the advice of their sales rep, Lisa Greene, decided to go with all three papers over four editions - Berwick, Pakenham

and Dandenong Real estate lift out. The response to this was outstanding - resulting in many inquiries and the first lot sold within a few days, shortly followed by another two lots and now the fourth lot now sold as well.

The vendors are extremely happy with the results and well above their timeframe expectations, with still three more editions to go and three blocks left the Star News Group is certainly providing great results.

If you would like any advice on the potential of subdividing your property or marketing strategy call the project sales specialists today and see what your property may be worth.

For any further inquiries, please contact the Project Sales Team at Max Brown Real Estate Group on 131 629. ●

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Hallam musician Terence, AKA Trilagy

What is something people don't know about you?

I love comic books.

What was your most memorable moment?

Getting invited on stage to meet DJ Yella (NWA) after his show in Melbourne with Lil Eazy-E. What would your last meal be?

A cheeseburger and large fries.

What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness?

It would have to be seeing Tupac live at the House of Blues in '96.

What is your favourite band/musician and why?

Korn, because I've always liked musicians who have thought outside of the box.

They fused metal with elements of hip hop.

What venue would you most like to perform at and why?

Madison Square Garden in New York because it's iconic.

What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?

Tupac, Jennifer Garner, Aaliyah, Jim Carrey, Sylvester Stallone and Denzel Washington.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

Playing guitar on stage and realising the chord had dropped out mid show.

Thankfully I don't think anyone noticed (we had two guitarists on stage).

At school I ... ... couldn't wait to leave.

What was the first or best concert you attended?

My first and I still have to say the best concert I've been to was James Brown with his live band, he was awesome!

Terence, AKA Trilagy.

THREE … vegetables to plant during autumn

1

Cabbages, kale and bok choy are best planted during autumn.

They like a spot that gets at least six hours of direct sunlight each day, prefer protection from the wind, and grow best in welldrained soil loaded with fertiliser.

Cabbage is ready for harvest after about 10 to 14 weeks. Kale leaves are ready from four to six weeks, and will keep growing if only the outer leaves are removed. The Asian greens can be harvested from six weeks.

2

Strawberries are planted in April or May, flower and fruit in cool to warm conditions, and grow best in full sun. Surrounding them with straw mulch will help to keep moisture in, deter weeds and keep fruit off the soil. Fruit should be picked when fullycoloured.

3

Broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - all from the brassicas family - can handle quite cold conditions and even frost. They prefer a spot with at least six hours of direct sunlight each day, need protection from strong wind and demand a rich, well-drained soil. Seeds are best sown into pots and transplanted into the ground as seedlings.

Kai kicking serious goals

By Hayley Wildes Pulling on the Big V jumper is always a massive honour.

When 14-year-old Cranbourne local Kai Suparta recently had that privilege, he was representing not just Victoria, but his Balinese heritage too - making the experience that extra bit special.

Kai recently competed at the Under-15 AFL National Diversity Championships in Blacktown, New South Wales.

The teams are made up of kids from culturally diverse backgrounds and Kai, whose father is Balinese, wanted to represent both Victoria and Bali with pride.

He did just that.

Kai spoke about the experience and the opportunity to learn not just football skills, but life skills too.

"It was pretty fun and it was nice to mix around with lots of multicultural kids from different backgrounds and I got to know a lot of them. I'd never played with any of them before, but they were a good bunch of boys." he said.

"I learnt a lot about all the other boys and their stories and I learnt a lot about myself too."

Kai, who plays for Lysterfield in the Eastern Football League, has been playing since Under-9s and has a couple of heroes he looks up to; Daniel and Cyril Rioli.

He loves the way they play the game and as a forward, who can play midfield, Kai tries to emulate the way they play the game.

At the Championships, Kai was the second leading goal-kicker and proved dangerous whenever the footy came into Victoria's forward line.

Victoria made it through to the Grand Final and faced Tasmania in what was an absolute epic.

David Rodan passing on some advice to Kai. Pictures: SUPPLIED Tasmania had Victoria's measure for much of the day, but Kai and his teammates dug deep and scored three goals in the final few minutes of the game to win by a single point.

"It was pretty crazy." Kai said of the Grand Final.

"I don't know what I was feeling at the time, my mind was just everywhere. I was nervous, but it was good to get the win."

Kai acknowledged the importance of his Victorian coaches, but there was one in particular who had a lasting effect on him. "(AFL goal umpire and former Richmond, Port Adelaide and Melbourne player) David Rodan was one of our coaches. He's had a big influence on me and when I was having trouble, he would talk to me and help me." Kai said.

After he lit up the Diversity Championships with his speed and sublime skills, Kai was selected to the 2018 AFL World Team, who will take on the 2018 AFL Flying Boomerangs in July on the Gold Coast.

This will see Australia's best multicultural kids take on the best Indigenous kids in two games and also take part in education and leadership activities.

Kai Suparta represented Victoria at the AFL Diversity Championships.

Dishlicker Dyna puts on a dynamic dogged display

By Mick Floyd Brilliant young greyhound Dyna Chancer sensationally rocketed to the top of the Racecallers Speed Star leader board with a brilliant win in 33.883 over 595 metres at Sandown Park on Thursday night.

The win was the fastest time recorded for the distance in 2018, launching the son of Melbourne Cup winner Dyna Double One to the top ranking for the $25,000 match race series.

His trainer, Correy Grenfell, was delighted with his charge's run. After an unsuccessful Queensland Derby campaign, he returned to Victoria to record a slick 29.81 win at The Meadows before stepping up in distance.

"He had some problems after a run at the Meadows in March and didn't have much luck up north so it's great to see him back to his best," Grenfell said.

"We've had plans for him to step up in distance, we'll be back next week for sure."

Fast times were the order of the night in the unseasonably warm and windy conditions which saw several changes to the standings over all three distances.

Early in the night, My Redeemer had tongues wagging when he stopped the clock in 29.123 over 515 metres, good for second place in the Bill Collins Speed Star standings.

A younger half-brother to the brilliant triple Group 1 winner Up Hill Jill, the win was the fifth on the bounce for the David Geall-trained speedster. Maurice Minor, who was beaten by a length, moved into sixth place with his 29.202 gallop.

Meanwhile, star New South Wales stayer Simon Keeping booked his place in the Lizrene Speed Star when he trialled in 41.712 over the 715m. His time was good enough for fourth place but was bettered less than an hour later when Barcali eclipsed his time by just 0.003 of second.

The Speed Star is greyhound racing's new-

Dyna Chancer sent tongues wagging with a blistering run at Sandown late last week. est and most exciting format, bringing together 40 of Australia's fastest greyhounds to race for $190,000 in prize money in a series of head

to head match races. Greyhounds qualify for the series based on their best times at the track since 1 January.

Corey’s senior debut was a lifetime effort Just under five years ago, a 20-year-old Corey Davis strode out on to the field to play his first game of footy - a real bucket list experience.

Back then, he could never have dreamt that he'd go on to play a senior game.

For him, simply playing any competitive game was a dream come true.

He was born 15 weeks premature and suffered brain damage from a series of haemorrhages before he'd even turned one. To this point he doesn't know exactly how many operations he's had, but he knows it's "at least 10".

One of those involved having a shunt inserted into the back of his head. It runs down into his stomach and seemed certain to quell any footballing dreams ever had.

But in August 2013, a groundswell of support around him had grown to epic proportions and he made his debut in reserves for his beloved Bunyip Bulldogs, the local club he'd trained with in every session he possibly could dandenong.starcommunity.com.au

since 2007.

Such was the mark of respect that Corey's team mates had for him, he even led the group out of the rooms and on to the ground - skipper for a day.

"I'd dreamt of that moment every single day of my life," Corey said in the wake of his first game.

"Now that's something I can finally cross off my bucket list."

Recently against Ashwood, he went a step further - finally making his senior debut for his current club Hallam in the Southern Football League (SFL), the same club that his partner Brooke plays for.

Though the result didn't go the Hawks' way - losing the Division 3 clash by 79 points, 15.19 (109) to 4.6 (30) - Corey was just thrilled to wear the number 57 out on to the ground. It meant the world to him.

He admitted he took a quarter to get used to the speed and skill of the game, but was proud that he made his opponent work for every touch he got.

Back in 2013, Star News Group wrote that the footy scriptwriters couldn't have planned Corey's story any better than his Bunyip side's win over Nilma Darnum.

But a couple of weekends ago, another surprise chapter was written.

For a man with competitive fire burning within and a never-say-die attitude to match, who knows what's in store next.

Dandy makes a statement

By Hayley Wildes The Dandenong Rangers made it two from two on Saturday night in a SEABL double-header at Nunawading as both Dandenong teams handed Nunawading their first losses for the season.

With the Rangers women taking on the Spectres first up, they harassed Nunawading on the defensive end and clamped down on the dangerous offensive weapons they possess.

Tayla Roberts was dominant and continued her terrific run of form, posting 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists.

Tessa Lavey orchestrated the offence beautifully - whilst bothering the Spectres offensive flow with tough defence - as she posted 14 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists.

With the scores locked at 37 at half time, the Rangers’ defence went up a notch and limited Nunawading to just 18 points in the second half to claim an impressive, defence-fuelled 60-55 win.

With Roberts and Lavey leading the way, Tess Madgen came off the bench in her first game for the season and had instant impact. In 20 minutes of game time, Madgen dished out a game-high 6 assists and will be better for the run. The Spectres were led by Marena Whittle (17 points, 9 rebounds).

The Rangers men took the court after the women and it was their defence that also led them to a gritty win over Nunawading.

Dandenong fell behind early and trailed by nine points at half time, but a massive fourth quarter saw the Rangers take over the game and claim an 80-76 win in thrilling fashion. As he does every time he steps on the court, Lucas Barker led from the front and gave Dandenong everything he had. Barker finished the game with a near triple-double of 14 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and vitally, just one turnover. He sat for just one minute through-

out the game.

Puoch Puoch provided the Rangers with invaluable production off the bench as he posted 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists.

Rhys Vague was an imposing figure all night, recording a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds. The Rangers had to fight

for the win, and with Nunawading leading by eight points after three quarters, Dandenong came out with more intensity in the fourth and wouldn’t be denied.

In a fourth quarter effort that was simply sublime - especially on the defensive end - the Rangers held the Spectres to just 12 points on

13% shooting (2/15) from the field as a team, and put up 24 points of their own to claim the win. Dain Swetalla (15 points, 11 rebounds) and Shane McDonald (13 points, 9 assists) led the way for Nunawading.

The Rangers men sit eighth with a 4-3 record, whilst the women are sixth on 5-3.

In a dirty day for Hallam, Matthew Studd

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region

Clive dishes up the deals

By Narelle Coulter Entrepreneurs are those rare business people who take a risk on a new idea and turn it into a reality. This month Grow talks to young Casey entrepreneur Clive Canal about his food app and introduces the INNOvation Crowd, a new support network for budding entrepreneurs.

Narre Warren entrepreneur Clive Canal was holidaying in Tasmania when the inspiration for his foodie business, Whozcookn, struck.

Staying in the rural town of Stanley two years ago, it wasn’t long before Clive had exhausted all the town’s eating options.

“Within a few days we’d gone through everything. I did some research and knew that within that region there was amazing produce but we just couldn’t tap into it,“ Clive said.

“People like myself who were travelling through had no network. I thought ’I’d love to taste some of this stuff but can’t’.“ Clive’s solution was an app that would let users know all the restaurants, cafes and takeaway businesses within a few kilometres offering what he describes as “multi-cultural, authentic food“.

He named the app Whozcookn, giving it a deliberate Aussie flavour.

“There are other apps out there but none of them are Aussie,“ he explained. “This is the only home grown one.“ As well as the app, which will be released later this year, Whozcookn has grown to include an active Facebook “community“ and cooking workshops.

The workshops specialise in traditional, ethnic dishes led by talented Melbourne cooks. 2017 Masterchef contestant Pia Gava led an Italian themed workshop in Berwick earlier this year.

Clive’s love of food comes from his own multi-cultural background. His mother is Co-

Clive Canal, the brains behind Whozcookn, at Lucy's Divine Cakes in Hampton Park. 179131 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS lombian and father Mauritian. His parents met in London and emigrated to Australia in 1987 arriving on Clive’s 7th birthday.

He praises his mum as a great cook and when he wants a home-cooked meal it is her kitchen he visits.

“As a child I remember her cooking Mauritian noodles which are beautiful and South American dishes, such as Bandeja Paisa, were also staple favourites within our family.“ An industrial designer by trade, Clive gave up his job in the motor industry to focus on Whozcookn.

He has been working with a tech team for more than two years to design and refine the app.

“I had a look at what was available in the market in terms of apps and found there were others like Menulog and Uber Eats but what I found was that some of these apps had a scatter gun approach to making food available.

“Whozcookn has the reverse approach.

It’s more niche. It’s all about dishes and cuisines and recipes that have been passed down through generations and refined over the years.“ Clive signed up for the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) funded by the Federal Government, which gave him the skills to develop a business plan.

He also threw himself into every networking and business event offered by the City of Casey, sometimes attending three or four events a week.

The development phase has also involved a lot of eating as he tests cafes and restaurants who want to sign up.

“It’s a tough job but lots of fun,“ he said, grinning.

“I took it as a blessing that I live in Melbourne. It is the perfect hub to create something like this because there are so many dif-

ferent influences and nationalities.

“People are willing to try new things and step outside their comfort zones.“ Connection is a word that comes up often in conversation with Clive.

He loves the cooking workshop concept for its power to bring people together and is delighted that the Facebook page has become a forum for home cookes to share recipes and photographs.

“Whozcookn is not just a business, it’s a community,“ he said.

“Now there is a place you can go and connect with the brand itself. You can have that tangible experience, you can immerse yourself in this whole cooking workshop concept.“ To help finance Whozcookn, Clive started a second business, Symbiotic Design Company, which produces 3D virtual models of industrial products for manufacturing companies.

Clive runs his twin businesses from the Waterman Centre in Narre Warren.

“I love it, it’s amazing. You get support, make connections, it’s a wonderful environment.“ He encourages other young entrepreneurs to take a risk and follow their dream.

“If you have an idea and you have a dream, then definitely pursue your dream, follow your heart. But it’s equally important to be practical and logical. Do your research, study the market, look at the trends and see if your idea or concept fits in the current market.“ Within a year Clive hopes Whozcookn “covers most of the popular states in Australia“. “ I hope the community will be strong and healthy and for it (the brand) to be part of people’s lives.

“To be honest, and it might sound corny, I don’t want it to be just a business. I want it to be a movement.“

Innovation is the key in this crowded marketplace

By Narelle Coulter The economic potential of startups is set to be harnessed in the Casey Cardinia Region with a new initiative called the INNovation Crowd.

A committee of educators, business people and representatives of both councils under the lead of the City of Casey has been working on the project for nearly a year and hope to launch the initiative in July.

Digital strategist and mentor Judy Pridmore is one of the committee members.

The committee also includes representatives from Federation Uni and Casey Technical School and local businesses like Successful Endeavours and Gaia Skin Naturals.

Ms Pridmore said the vision was to create

ing, networking events and the chance for collaboration close to home.

Ms Pridmore said the committee had discussed a range of initiatives to “really generate an eco-system“.

Initiatives will include meet up groups, hackathons and startup boot camps to fill a gap in the region.

Federation Uni will host workshops and training opportunities, with the soon to be opened Casey TAFE providing unique spaces and technology for startups.

Much of what can be achieved under the INNovation Crowd umbrella depends on funding from Launch Vic, an independent body set up by the State Government in 2016 to support

the incubation of Victorian startups Whether the region has been successful in its funding application will be known in the next few weeks.

Ms Pridmore said if successful the committee hoped to be able to fund an expert entrepreneur in residence at co-working spaces like the The Waterman Centre in Narre Warren.

She said even if the region’s funding application was unsuccessful, the INNovation Crowd would go ahead in a scaled back form.

Federation University Senior Lecturer Dr Tim Harrison said the university was proud to bAnyone interested in connecting with The INNovation Crowd should contact City Economy at the City of Casey on 9705 5200.

Let me guide you through the process so you can submit an application. I understand the language of government and business and have knowledge and experience that will improve your chances of success”.
