The questionable question timeBY JASON TURNER
AN unusual number of questions from residentsat recent Greater Dandenong Council meetingshas sparked debate about how the council con-ducts public question time.
There were audible groans from councillorswhen the gallery was notified how many ques-tions (24) were to be asked at last Monday’smeeting. Another 30 were asked at the previousmeeting.
At the past 30 meetings, an average of sevenquestions were asked.
Outspoken Paperbark Ward councillor PeterBrown asked officers if they needed to beanswered if the questioner was not in the publicgallery.
Soon after, a motion was pushed through giv-ing discretion to the council’s chief executiveofficer John Bennie about what questions wereanswered during the meeting.
‘‘I’ve been on council for 10 years and I’venever seen such a sheer volume of questions,’’ CrBrown said. He said the process was getting
‘‘hijacked’’ and moves had to be made to fix ‘‘theabuse of procedure’’.
The public does not have to be in the chamberto ask questions, with the opportunity to sendquestions in advance. The question then receivesa written response and the answers are also pub-lished online.
Cr Brown was quick to add that the concernswere not based on the meeting length, but thepossibility that the questions were driven by ‘‘anagenda’’.
He questioned the legitimacy of some the ques-tions, pointing to the similar wording of ques-tions coming from certain people.
‘‘The questions aren’t coming from Liberals orLabor. I suspect it’s the Greens.’’
He pointed to a vast number of environmentalissues being raised as coming straight from thatparty’s agenda.
Cr Matthew Kirwan said the public questiontime procedures should stay as they were.
The Greens-aligned Red Gum Ward repre-sentative said restricting public question timecould ‘‘hurt the free speech of everyone’’.
Cr Kirwan, himself notorious for submittingpublic questions in the lead-up to his election tothe council last year, believed the debate stemmedfrom concerns about meetings going on for toolong.
Dandenong meetings normally start at 7pmand finish about 8pm. However, the past twohave finished an hour later.
Dandenong Residents and Ratepayers Associ-ation president Jim Houlahan said any push torestrict public question time would be a badmove.
‘‘It’s a simple and fundamental part of thedemocratic process. Having so many questionsmay indicate the council is not dispensing enoughinformation to the public about what is goingon.’’
Monash University local governance researchunit director Ken Coghill said the concept ofpublic question time was important.
‘‘It allows citizens to become involved, to feel asense of inclusion and to be more satisfied withtheir lives. It also facilitates council being betterinformed and to thereby make better decisions.’’

GREATER Dande-nong voters will headback to the polls afterLyndhurst MP TimHolding last Fridayannounced he was put-ting politics aside after15 years in public life.
The byelection datehas not yet been set butthe Greens havealready said they willrun for the lower houseseat.
Mr Holding, who iscurrently the shadowtreasurer and was a police and water minister inthe Bracks and Brumby governments, said hisgreatest achievement in the electorate was‘‘investment in our local schools’’.
He said he would spend two months consider-ing his future but ruled out federal politics.
Mr Holding was elected to Springvale in 1999before a redivision abolished the seat and createdLyndhurst, a safe Labor seat that he won in2002. He was a Waverley councillor from 1992to 1994.
Greens leader Greg Barber said he aimed tomake the byelection a referendum on transport.
He said it was too early to say who his candid-ate would be.
Mr Holding acknowledged that a byelectionwould be an inconvenience but said he haddecided not to serve as a minister in event of areturned Labor government.
‘‘It’s only fair to step aside and give Daniel andmy colleagues the opportunity to select a teamthat will take Labor to the next election.’’
Mr Holding, a former soldier and a hiker, saidhe wanted to play a role in getting young peopleto discover the outdoors and was going to keepfit while choosing his next role.
Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews saidanother MP would be chosen today to take onMr Holding’s portfolios of shadow treasurer andindustry spokesman.

The best way to prepare for this fi re season is to stay informed
and plan to leave early, before you see smoke or fi re.
Plan to leave early:
üTalk to everyone you live with so you all know when you’re
going to leave and where you’re going to go if a fi re starts.
üPack a relocation kit with important documents and
essential items.
üOn high-risk days, check Fire Danger Ratings and fi re
warnings on the CFA website and listen to local radio.
Don’t wait and hope for the best. Visit the CFA website to fi nd
out how you can be FireReady.

Re: Traders up in arms over parkingI was frustrated to read members of Emir SultanMosque portrayed as the sole contributors toparking issues for the traders at the HeathertonRoad end of the Cleeland Street shopping strip.
Surely the members of the mosque can’t be theonly ones flooding Cleeland Street. There are manyother establishments of significant importance onthe street, attracting people and creating pressureon parking availability.
I don’t see the logic in just naming the mosque asthe only cause of taking up the car spaces in front ofthe subject shopping strip and invite council trafficofficers to enforce parking restrictions in the area.
Mosque management has approached itsmembers reminding them of restrictions in the area.
Emir Sultan Mosque has a strong relationshipwith Greater Dandenong Council and is committedto co-operate with all other establishments on thestreet and support any recommendations toimprove parking availability for all.

secretary, Emir Sultan Mosque
Little discussion in council chambersI attended my first council meeting on January 29.
I was surprised the meeting lasted only twohours. I had expected it to be far longer, however ifit wasn’t for questions raised by Cr MatthewKirwan, the meeting would have been extremelyshort and somewhat lacking in content.
It seemed to me that all discussion of the issues,planning applications and initiatives had occurredbefore the meeting in the ‘briefing’, which in turnleft the meeting itself merely a matter of process.
It appeared that, with the exception of a fewqueries, matters were dealt with rather quickly, andthe councillors’ role was merely to push throughwhatever applications were submitted.
My reason for attending the meeting was to findout the outcome on a planning application that Ihad objected to. What I got out of the meeting wasthat there was little discussion, if any, of issuesbrought before the council and there seemed to belittle transparency.
My main issue, however, was the behaviour ofsome of the councillors during the meeting. Itseemed that some did not appreciate others askingquestions or pursuing discussion.
It is a matter of common courtesy that whenanybody is speaking, then all others should showthem respect and remain silent. Sniggering and
talking across the room to each other while anothercouncillor holds the floor is unacceptable andinappropriate.

Re: Dreyfus top law officerAs a councillor whose ward includes a substantialarea in the Isaacs electorate, I personally wish tocongratulate Mark Dreyfus on his appointment asfederal attorney-general.
Mr Dreyfus has an outstanding legal back-ground, is a person widely respected throughoutthe broader Australian community and during histerm as member for Isaacs has been very supportiveof Greater Dandenong Council.
It must be appreciated that Mr Dreyfus was ofcritical importance in securing many millions ofdollars of federal funding which enabled theconstruction of the Noble Park Aquatic Centre inpartnership with the council.
We were privileged to have had Mr [Michael]Duffy represent us and now we enjoy the cabinetrepresentation of a person as distinguished andcapable as Mr Dreyfus.

Footpath displays given bootBY JASON TURNER
Angry and ignored: Dandenong trader Mark Li isdisappointed by Greater Dandenong Council’sapproval of a two-year trial ban onfootpath displays. Picture: Rob Carew
CENTRAL Dandenong retailers fear they willlose business following Greater DandenongCouncil approving a two-year trial banningthe display of goods on footpaths.
From March 4, traders will not be allowedto display products on footpaths in front oftheir stores.
The new rules make allowances for smalladvertising frames and alfresco dining.
Silverleaf Ward councillor John Kelly saidthe decision had not been taken lightly and hehad listened to the concerns of some shop-keepers.
Last September, 48 traders signed a letteragainst the proposals and in December a peti-tion with 60 signatures was submitted
A number of traders attended the meetingand quickly left the chamber after the decisionwas made.
‘‘I understand some of the shopkeepers arenot happy with this decision but to be per-fectly honest they do rent the shop,’’ Cr Kellysaid. ‘‘They don’t rent the footpath.
‘‘I think we need to be mindful that we got astreet that’s a vast improvement on what itwas two or three years ago. It’s a great oppor-
tunity to improve the image of the main streetof Dandenong.’’
Christine Zhang, owner of Hong’s $2 Plus,said the decision was disappointing.
‘‘We feel that city council have just ignoredsmall business.’’
Ms Zhang said she spent a lot of time andemotional energy fighting the proposals,spending time collecting the signatures andtalking to traders along Lonsdale Street andthe Palm Plaza shopping area.
Some traders said their businesses wouldlose customers without the ability to enticethem inside with footpath displays.
Two Up Shop owner Mark Li said he felttraders could not do anything more to voicetheir concerns. ‘‘Lots of people’s turnover willdrop down,’’ he said.
The Dandenong Retail Traders Associationbacked the move but acknowledged the issuehad split opinions with traders.
Chairwoman Glenys Cooper said thattraders who backed the move believed itwould improve the overall look of the mainstreet.
Council officers will conduct a report on theimpact of new conditions three months fromthe trial period ending in 2015.

MARG STORKA MOMENT WITH MARG
IT’S a bridge not too far from the beatingheart of our city, so it can’t afford to stayoff limits to traffic for too long. When thatmeandering sliver of water that’s DandenongCreek was transformed into dangerous rapidsthat drenched our town in February 2011, theHammond Road bridge took a fair hit andneeded to be mended.
Back in the 1930s, when I was a student atDandenong High, floodwaters covered thesame area as well as parts of DandenongSouth, Kirkham Road in Bangholme, andKeysborough.
Low-lying paddocks in Lyndhurst turnedinto huge lakes. Also deluged were AbbottsRoad, Frankston-Dandenong Road and partsof Cranbourne and Clyde.
Livestock and crops were wiped out.Although the exact date escapes me, there
were floods in more recent years.I was working at the Journal office and our
photographer Barry Palmer and I covered thefloods at the Southern Obedience Dog Schoolin a Bangholme road appropriately calledSodden.
The club had 700 members and its youngesthandler was a nine-year-old girl.
The front area of the club was awash as
Barry clicked away. He had stashed severalpairs of gumboots in the car boot and loanedme a pair.
They were too big and I remember himchuckling as I took a tentative step and gotstuck in the mud!
Family fun dayWith pupils from 30 nationalities, there’s a goodlesson in geography happening at the Dande-nong South Primary School.
Established in 1961, the school is noted forbeing one of the city’s most multiculturalschools. Since its doors opened for the first termon January 29, it’s been a rollercoaster of learn-ing and fun, the latter to culminate in a familyfun day planned for March 8.
Parents are asked to bring a picnic lunch,watch their children enjoy an animal farm,
face-painting and other kiddie favourites.Leonie Fitzgerald, the popular principal of 14
years, says the 86 preppies are settling in nicely.Most of them live close by.“I love my job,” she gushes. And it shows!

$66 motorbike levy may go
Two-wheel levy: AaronMcFadzen believesthe annual motorbikesafety levy could bebetter spent.Picture: Wayne Hawkins
BY JASON TURNER
A $66 slug on motorbike riders that pays forsafety schemes would be abolished under arecommendation from a parliamentary roadsafety committee.
The report recommended closer scrutiny ofhow the motorcycle safety levy is used.
In the past 10 years the levy raised $45 millionthrough compulsory rider contributions to theTraffic Accident Commission, which is paid ontop of the regular registration payments.
Long-time motorcyclist Aaron McFadzenagreed more transparency was needed on howthe safety fee was spent.
‘‘I would actually like to see what safety it wasgoing towards,’’ he said.
The bike sales manager at Dandenong’s PeterStevens Motorbikes has been riding to work formore than 12 years.
‘‘I don’t think I’ve really seen safety measuresdone especially for bikes,’’ he said. ‘‘I’ve neverseen something and thought that was paid for bythe levy.’’
Riders are charged $66 with the annual regis-tration of their first motorbike with an enginecapacity above 126cc. Subsequent motorbikeregistrations in the same year are exempt, as are
farm bikes and other speciality types. Educationand research projects have used $15.7 million ofthe levy and $27 million was spent on infrastruc-ture such as anti-skid surfaces and clearing vege-tation for increased visibility.
Motorcyclists are the only road users who payan extra safety levy on their registrations.
Mr McFadzen said he would be happy to payfor the levy if he actually knew where the moneywas being spent. He said the levy should be spent
on more education and more motorbike-dedicated lanes on busy freeways.
He said there were many who rode for yearswithout knowing the basics of bike control andwhat riders should do in certain situations.
The levy should be spent on increased fundingof safety courses. ‘‘If people don’t know whatthey’re doing, education can help fix it.’’
The report made 64 recommendations with 12on the levy.
MPs may probefreight trucksHEALTH impacts from trucks would beinvestigated at a parliamentary committee ifa Greens motion due to be put to a vote thisweek gets up.
The economy and infrastructure standingcommittee will be asked to inquire, considerand report on air pollution, crashes, roaddamage and traffic congestion due to freighttrucks.
They will also be asked to look at “altern-atives for moving the growing freight task”.
The motion will need a majority in theupper house to begin the inquiry, and needssupport from one of the major parties.
The move was slammed by the freightoperators’ peak body, the Victorian Trans-port Association, whose chief executive NeilChambers said trucks were vital for movingfreight.
“You can never remove trucks from thenetwork because trucks move freight the lastmile,” he said.

Extending gift of support for special kids
Helping hand: Setsuko Nakazawa and daughter Minori are looking forward to some extra help for the youngestmember of the family, Takeru . Picture: Rob Carew
BY JASON TURNER
BEING a parent can be toughat the best of times but forNoble Park North resident Set-suko Nakazawa the balancingact can be even harder.
Ms Nakazawa is a singleparent with two children, theyounger of whom, Takeru, hasautism. It can be a challenge,she says, to look after her chil-dren and still have time for her-self.
‘‘You really have to organiseeverything,’’ Ms Nakazawasaid.
It is a common story for fam-ilies of children with disabili-ties, with carers oftenexpending all their energy ontheir loved ones, leaving pre-cious little time for otherthings.
That’s where organisationslike Extended Families come into help. Based across Mel-bourne, it provides support
and respite to children withdisabilities and their families.
It also encourages and pro-motes the inclusion of thesefamilies within the wider com-munity.
One of its programs helpsconnect an individual volun-teer or family with a child andtheir family, to provide somesupport and companionship.
In the case of Ms Nakazawaand six-year-old Takeru, theyhave recently been matchedwith Jenny Corrie, who will seethe family once a fortnight tobegin with. It is something MsCorrie is looking forward to.
‘‘It not only gives Setsukotime to spend doing somethingfor herself, it’s an opportunityfor Takeru to meet other peo-ple,’’ she said.
With no other family in Aus-tralia, Ms Nakazawa still man-ages to get outside, revealing alove of the water through sail-ing and Takeru enjoying swim-
ming lessons. He is now in hissecond year at a special devel-opment school after a spendingtime at a regular kindergarten.
Ms Nakazawa said her sonenjoyed reading and was quickto learn the alphabet. He evenknows a few Japanese words.
Ms Corrie said she hadalways wanted to work withdisabled children and Exten-ded Families had provided allthe support needed to makesure the experience wouldwork out.
She said the help volunteersprovided was invaluable.
‘‘I feel it’s incredibly import-ant for them. For these parentsto be able to have time out isnot only important for thembut also for the other siblings.’’

BY MARG STORK
ONE half of Victoria’s oldest set of twins hasdied, less than two weeks after celebrating her97th birthday.
Alice Churchill — who lived in DandenongNorth’s Outlook Gardens Hostel with sisterMary Colquhoun — died on February 9, 12 daysafter their birthday.
For many years, the Journal has reportedhighlights in the pair’s long, happy, and eventfullives.
Always community-minded, Alice and Maryfeatured for many years locally for their roles inconducting dances to help fund raise for theAngel of Mercy helicopter Peninsula AmbulanceDandenong branch.
For the past six years, the twins have beenresidents of the Dandenong North hostel whichAlice moved into first.
Mary said that she was born one hour beforeAlice, and they often joked about Mary’s senior-ity.
When Alice spoke to the Journal of the excite-ment of their then-forthcoming 97th birthdaysshe said: “We are from a large family of 11, sixboys and five girls, and are the daughters ofRobert and Elizabeth Suckling, pioneers of Bal-
larat and South Gippsland. We attended schoolat Archies Creek.”
Mary said the highlight of Alice’s 97th birth-day was the much looked forward to safe arrival— on her special day — of a great-great-grandson, marking a fifth generation of theChurchill family.

A heart murmur is the sound of turbulence (fl ow)
across a heart valve (the little leafl ets that stop blood
from fl owing backwards). If you are less than 40
your risk of having a heart murmur (valve disease)
is less than 1% but as you get older, the likelihood
rises. Over 75yrs old it is as high as 13% of the
population. Often there are no signs of a problem and
going undiagnosed may lead to delayed treatment
and impact on the outcome of your heart health. A
heart murmur can be diagnosed by your GP when
he listens to your heart with a stethoscope. If one is
found, it can mean that the valve is blocking slowly
or it is leaking. This can be anything from mild to
severe. The treatment ranges from simple observation
to open heart surgery depending on the severity and
the symptoms. At your next GP visit ask your doctor
to check you for a murmur; this will only take a few
minutes. If one is found, we are here to help. We
offer a team of heart specialists and surgeons that can
provide you and your GP with all the help you need
to manage a murmur.
The Valley Private Murmur Centre can be reached on 03 8791 6143. For urgent matters contact our 24 hour 7 days a week private Emergency Dept on 03 9790 4250

IT happens in an instant. You are sitting inyour car, tapping the wheel and filling time.A glimpse of something draws your gaze to
your rear-view mirror — a looming headlight ora garish helmet. And while you’re still wonderinghow late you are running for work, between thelanes of traffic comes a motorcycle swaying byyour side mirrors to finish at the front of the traf-fic queue.
How does a driver see that rider: as selfish,endangering lives or simply impatient? Or is itthe case that lane filtering — as it is known —helps ease congestion and keeps motorcyclistssafe?
That’s one of the major questions posed in astate government report on motorcycle safetyreleased late last year.
‘‘Motorists are fed a diet of bull, that motor-cyclists are dangerous, anything they do is dan-gerous — but they’re unaware of the evidencethat says filtering is safe,’’ says Rob Smith, fromMotorcycling Australia, the governing body ofmotorcycle sport in the country. ‘‘Safety is at theheart of this.’’
Long-time motorcyclist Doug Sunderland toldthe parliamentary inquiry that driver attitudesput him at risk every time he took to the road.
‘‘Seventy-three years of riding and the momentI get on that road everyone of you people in a car,bus or truck is out to kill me. That is the attitude Itake. There is not a vehicle on the road that is nottrying to kill me and that is how I have survivedfor 73 years,’’ he said.
In its report, the committee chastised roadsafety agencies for failing to try to improve driverattitudes towards riders despite previousrecommendations.
The committee’s head, Sandringham MP Mur-ray Thompson, believes its work is a correctivethat will make motorcycling safer for all and fos-ter understanding among different road users,whether they be on two wheels or four.
Of the 64 recommendations the most conten-tious was a ‘‘filtering trial’’ that would be fol-lowed by an evaluation.
Lane filtering is defined as moving betweenlanes of congested traffic that is stationary ormoving only very slowly. It is a common, yetillegal, practice.
The proposed trial has won praise from themotorcycling community, although none of therecommendations in the report are yet to beacted on by the state government. It has sixmonths to respond.
Motorcycling Australia’s Mr Smith said thereport was nonetheless a good start. ‘‘We’re obvi-ously very pleased with the report because itindicates a lot of thought has been given tomotorcycle safety — beyond the traditional
approach. They’ve thought outside the box on alot of issues.’’
Mr Smith said there was no law against filter-ing, but a variety of other regulations prohibitedthe practice. ‘‘Most of the filtering takes place be-tween stationary vehicles, and if they stay wherethey are there’s no reason for it to be dangerous.’’
He believes filtering should be allowed only upto a maximum speed of 30 km/h.
The VACC — Victoria’s peak automotive body— agrees that a filtering trial will have a signific-ant impact on Victoria’s roads.
VACC executive director David Purchase saysit will enable riders to be ahead of traffic flowsand removed from the traffic mix. ‘‘But in orderfor motorists to appreciate the benefits of filter-ing, a trial must be accompanied by an educationprogram.’’
He said filtering had to be distinguished fromlane-splitting, which is riding on the lines thatseparate lanes in moving traffic. Many motoristsdid not understand the difference.
The New South Wales government recentlyapproved a filtering trial in parts of Sydney’sCBD that will begin next month.
NSW Roads Minister Duncan Gay said lanefiltering was against the law, but in part of theCBD there would be an exemption for motorcyc-lists that would permit them to filter throughtraffic when vehicles were stopped at trafficlights.
But there are restrictions such as taking carewhen filtering near buses and no filtering on the
left. Lane splitting remains illegal.For the trial to work, Mr Smith highlighted the
need for the public’s perception of lane filteringto change.
‘‘It needs to demonstrate that filtering is notunsafe, it can help motorists and they will bene-fit.’’
The inquiry’s chairman Mr Thompson insisteda filtering trial would not be a ‘‘licence for roadchaos’’.
There was already a high level of filtering hap-pening — illegally — on the road, he said, andthe aim of a trial would be to improve safety formotorcyclists and drivers.
Perhaps surprisingly, the RACV — a repre-sentative body primarily for drivers — wouldsupport any investigations into legalising thepractice, said its roads and traffic manager DaveJones.
In the US, a report from Oregon’s departmentof transport into lane-sharing noted the practicecould be dangerous because motorcycles movedinto spaces not designed for much traffic andwhere movement is not expected. Questionswere also raised about the increased dangers offiltering for novice riders.
Filtering on Victorian roads, while divisive forroad users, is not the only recommendation inthe parliamentary report that has raised eye-brows.
The proposed abolition of a $60 safety levy formotorcyclists has also buoyed the motorcyclecrowd after years of what they say is an unfair
burden. Victoria is the only state to charge thelevy. Mr Thompson said the levy placed a dispro-portionate burden on motorcyclists.
‘‘Most accidents with motorcyclists alsoinvolve a motor vehicle — the levy wasn’t placedupon other road users.’’
Funds from the levy were supposed to be direc-ted to projects that directly improve safety forriders, but the reality of how exactly the$44.6 million it had raised since 2002 was spentwas questioned in the report.
Honda Australia rider training manager MarkCollins was an outspoken critic of the levy at theinquiry.
‘‘I question the value of a rider levy being spenton road fixes and I question the benefits thathave been reported to date on how effective thosefixes have been. If you measure something sixmonths after you have fixed it, of course there isa honeymoon period and you will have a greateffect,’’ he said.
He added that the fixes should be measuredcontinually to assess their effectiveness. Otherspointed out that no other road user group hadbeen forced to improve the infrastructure net-work through a safety levy.
‘‘Road treatments that benefit all road usersequally should be funded by all road users equal-ly,’’ the Victorian Motorcycle Council submis-sion said.
That question of where the levy money is spentstems back to another issue Mr Smith was glad tosee addressed in the inquiry’s report — the lackof data collated about motorcycling.
‘‘Clearly a lot of data is incomplete, poorly col-lected and incorrectly interpreted.’’
Mr Smith said collecting accurate data was thenumber one priority for him because it would setthe agenda for the next 10 years.
However, he remains hopeful for the future ofmotorcyclists after such a comprehensive report.
‘‘Safety is improving — there no better time toa be motorcyclist.’’
He is hoping drivers will soon recognisethat as well.

PRIME DEVELOPMENT SITE
Located in Dandenong Central this 700m2 Residential 2 site has a planning
permit for 3 quality townhouses. Each design offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
and huge living areas which can be altered to create an extra bedroom. Each
also has a garage and private rear garden. This is an ideal opportunity for
a builder or developer wanting to avoid delays and start a project quickly.
Alternatively the zoning would allow a high rise apartment development (STP).
A 3 level development has been completed adjacent to the property.
On the site is a character packed Californian bungalow and a separate
2 bedroom timber unit. The original home features baltic pine flooring
throughout and large rooms. The rear unit is self contained and could be let
separately. The expected return for both would be $400 - $450 per week. The
approved plans are also available for inspection. Within an easy walk to the
the market + shopping centre. This development would sell well.
Scheduled to be auctioned on the 2nd March at 2.00pm, 22 James Street,
Dandenong is expected to sell above $450,000. Inspect by appointment.

‘Clean slate’ for Demons
Dees day: Melbourne co-captains Jack Trengrove and Jack Grimes get to know Caseymayor Amanda Stapledon.
BY BRAD McGRATH
MELBOURNE captain Jack Grimessays the Demons are drug-free anddescribed the doping allegationsengulfing the AFL as being ‘‘blown outof proportion”.
Grimes has not seen evidence ofdoping within AFL ranks and said ithad shocked the Demons’ playerswhen Essendon was named as a clubsuspected of breaking AustralianSports Anti-Doping Authority(ASADA) rules.
“To hear about the investigationwas a massive shock and I definitelywasn’t expecting that sort of thing tohappen in the AFL,” said Grimes, whowas in Casey last Tuesday with ahandful of teammates for the Demons’community camp.
“To be honest, I think a lot of it isblown out of proportion. I don’t really
see it as a big problem in the AFL anddefinitely not at Melbourne.
“These days supplements and allthese things we talk about are a bigpart of elite sports and there is obvi-ously some stuff you steer clear of.
“A lot of clubs use supplements andthey’re all very safe and we get themticked off by ASADA and there is noreal risk to it.
“I hope for Essendon’s sake theycome out the other side of it and havea good year.”
Grimes said the Demons’ focus wason their opening NAB Cup gamesagainst North Melbourne and Rich-mond at Etihad Stadium on Fridaynight.
Grimes said experienced recruitsChris Dawes, Shannon Byrnes andDavid Rodan were setting the stand-ards and father-son recruit Jack Vineyand Jessie Hogan were already giving
Demons’ fans some optimism afterseveral bleak years.
Byrnes booted five goals in theDemons’ intra-club match at CaseyFields on Friday morning.
“It is always going to make a mas-sive difference when you have 14 play-ers go out of the club,” Grimes said.
“It’s almost a third of your list, butit’s all been positive and we’ve broughtin a bit of a mix, some older moreexperienced guys and then the freshdraftees like Jessie Hogan, Jack Vineyand [Andy] Toumpas.
“The key to it all is that they all havereally good character.”
The Demons were engulfed in astorm of controversy last season. At atime when influential president JimStynes lost his battle with cancer, theteam was accused of tanking underDean Bailey’s reign and their on-fieldwoes included losing nine straight
games at the start of the season.But Grimes backed second-year
coach Mark Neeld to turn it around.“Last year was obviously tough, for
any coach to go through an initiationperiod like he did. Obviously 0-9 atthe start of the year and a fair bit to gothrough off-field as well was reallytough to him. He kept his head really
well and all the other coaches aroundhim supported him.
“Like everyone he just really wantedto put last year behind him.”

Bold newHoldenBY EWAN KENNEDY
European look: Holden’s new VF Commodore has striking lines.
It’s two years late, but the new VF HoldenCommodore is finally on its way. Blame theGFC and the near bankruptcy of General
Motors in 2008 for the hold-up; many GMplans were put on hold and the budget for theVF Commodore was severely slashed.
Holden Commodore (and Ford Falcon)sales slowed dramatically as their stylingbecame increasingly out of date, and the buyersurge towards SUVs in place of large carsdidn’t help either.
That may all be about to change. I’ve juststepped out of the top secret Holden designstudios in Melbourne after an advance lookthe new VF Commodore.
We were very pleased to see that the Com-modore design hasn’t suffered from the delayand that the Holden is bang up to date in thelatest automotive styling trends.
There’s a distinctly upmarket Europeanshape to the VF Commodore inside and out.
Look at the complex shaping of the bonnet
with its Jaguar-like curves and lines, then atthe stylised BMW-like shape of the rear end.
The interior is the big story in the new VFCommodore. Whereas the exterior is the resultof a major facelift that sees the doors and roofunchanged, everything inside is new.
Again there’s a strong European influence; acombination of an Alfa Romeo-like binnacle
and layout of the major instruments, andAudi-like centre console and infotainmentscreen. The screen is a large eight-inch unit andgives access to General Motors’ new MyLinksystem.
May I predict that the new VF Commodoreis good enough to take back the number onespot in the Australian sales race?

Doping not an issue, says VRLBY LANCE JENKINSON
ERADICATING, or even detecting, the use of illi-cit or performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) at agrassroots level of sport is no mean feat, accordingto Victorian Rugby League general manager BrentSilva.
The VRL was alarmed at Australian CrimeCommission findings earlier this month of wide-spread use of PEDs in Australian professionalsport, but Silva was confident use of illegal sub-stances to improve performance was not an issuein community rugby league in Victoria.
’’It’s always concerning when you have storiesaround sport that is not positive,’’ he told theJournal. ‘‘In terms of performance-enhancingproducts, you’re more likely to get it at the higherlevel, where players are on the fringe and trying tomake a living out of the game.
’’At the higher level, when you’re trying to earna contract, where it could be the differencebetween a $50,000 a year contract and a$200,000 a year contract, there is an incentive.’’
When a player or an official joins a local club,
they sign a document stating they will abide by theVRL’s rules and regulations.
That also means they will adhere to the Austra-lian Sports Anti-Doping Authority code.
Take an illegal substance while on duty in theVRL and you could find yourself with a lengthyban from the sport if detected.
The problem for the VRL and its clubs is thatASADA rarely, if ever, turns up on their doorstep.
’’Even at our level, we come under the WADA[World Anti-Doping Agency] code, but ASADAgenerally don’t test at the community level,’’ Silvasaid. ‘‘So, you’re not tested for that sort of thing.’’
The VRL does not have the manpower, funds orthe jurisdiction to support or weed out users on itsown volition.
Unlike NRL clubs, the VRL clubs do notemploy players, nor do they have contracts inplace to tear up in the event of behaviour matters.In essence, their hands are tied.
’’We have no responsibility in people’s privatelives, whereas at the elite level, there are contractsplayers sign saying ‘I agree’ to these policies,which means ‘I won’t behave this way in my per-
sonal life’,’’ Silva said. ‘‘What people do in theirown time is in their own time.’’
The bigger issue for local clubs, according toSilva, is the use of illicit drugs. This, he says, is asociety-wide problem with no quick fix.
’’At the local level, I guess the pressures are dif-ferent to an elite athlete, it’s more about societalpressures,’’ he said. ‘‘That would happen with anysort of community group, whether it’s the officeplace or elsewhere in society where you mighthave those societal pressures.
’’The NRL have now got a program in placewithin community clubs to educate about safepartying practices to assist clubs when they’reorganising functions and events, and part of thatwould be around how the clubs can educate theirmembers about what is acceptable behaviour.
’’I’m proud of our clubs and their record to datein terms of their behaviour and the way theyengage with the local community and trying toencourage positive and healthy living throughplaying sport and playing rugby league.
‘‘That’s the message we should all be gettingout.’’
Unicornsback in foldWOMEN’S rugby has more than its fair shareof challenges when it comes to finding seniorplayers in Victoria.
Despite its struggles the Victorian RugbyUnion’s women’s competition keeps frontingup each season, and this year MelbourneRugby Club will field a senior women’s sidefor the first time in a decade.
The Unicorns will return to competitionwith several team members coming fromMonash Rugby Club’s side, which foldedbefore the start of the previous season.
The Unicorns will play out of Orrong Park,Prahran, and train at Gardner Park, Glen Iris,Most of their players come from Melbourne’ssouth-eastern suburbs.
Unicorns senior women’s coach Susan Kon-stanty has taken on the role after returning toMelbourne late last year.
She said the team was coming along wellbut new players were always welcome.
‘‘Recruiting is always tough but we havemanaged to get a few players who haveplayed before to make up the base of theteam,’’ Konstanty said.
The VRU women’s league plays rugby sev-ens matches for the first six weeks of the sea-son before playing full-scale 15-a-sidematches for the final 12 weeks.
Sevens rugby is played with only sevenplayers a side but remains on a full-sideground.
‘‘It’s a good thing the season is split intotwo formats,’’ Konstanty said.
‘‘It gives us time to teach new playersand get them used to the game in a form thathas a little less contact than the full-sizematches.’’
She paid tribute to the team’s foundingplayers, who wanted to form a new club andwent to the Unicorns and asked to join up.
Those players then worked on recruitingplayers to their team.
‘‘They wanted to grow the competition abit, so they printed our flyers and startedrecruiting.
‘‘They tried to get a few old Monash play-ers and went from there.’’
Konstanty is used to working on promotingrugby in new frontiers. She moved back toMelbourne from the Philippines, where shealso coached women’s rugby.
‘‘It’s a pretty new sport there as well,’’ Kon-stanty said with a laugh.
‘‘I’m doing the same sort of thing here, Iguess.’’
The Unicorns train at Gardner Park, GlenIris, between 6.30 and 8.30pm every Tuesday.
Konstanty said new players were welcomeat any point of the year, even during the sea-son.
The VRU women’s season starts on March16 and the team will train on Tuesdays andThursdays during the season.

Rugby Union to monitorsupport staff more closely
Clean players:The VictorianRugby Unionbelieves the useof performanceenhancing drugsis not an issue inclub rugby. AVictorian selectteam, in blue,faces NewZealand clubNorth Shore atEndeavour Hillslast year.
Picture: Gary Sissons
CLUB rugby in Victoria will monitorsupport staff within its clubs moreclosely in the aftermath of revela-tions that performance enhancingdrugs (PEDs) have infiltrated Aus-tralian sport at the top level.
The Victorian Rugby Union, gov-erning body of community rugby inthis state, wants to ensure theuse of PEDs does not filter down tothe club level or its representativeteams.
VRU community rugby managerCharlie Bamford plans to meet withclub officials in the lead-up to the2013 season to discuss a new registerthat will force clubs to place itsmedicos on a VRU list.
‘‘Given the recent reports thathave been tabled, this will be a topicof discussion and we will be placingan emphasis on the clubs to ensurethey are exercising their duty of carein these areas,’’ Bamford told theJournal.
‘‘We will be asking them to, withthe issues we’ve faced in the lastweek, register all their medical peo-ple so that we are across that.’’
The VRU is adamant that PEDsare not an issue at club rugby level.
There are strict guidelines in placethat players and clubs must adhereto when it comes to the use ofbanned substances.
‘‘I honestly don’t think it’s [PEDs]a problem in Victoria [rugby] at all,’’Bamford said.
‘‘There’s always players who lookfor supplements to improve them-selves. Providing those supplementsare not on any banned list, good luckto them.
‘‘We’ve had no recorded cases ofthat.’’
The VRU, as an offshoot of theAustralian Rugby Union, performsunder the guidelines of the Austra-lian Sports Anti-Doping Authority(ASADA).
The players at all local clubs haveto abide by ASADA rules and couldbe tested for performance enhancingor illicit drugs at any time.
Bamford admitted that tests onVRU players is rare, if at all.
But, he reiterated, they could turnup tomorrow at your local club inpreseason or in season.
‘‘ASADA guys can turn up atchange rooms, show their badgesand perform tests at any time.
‘‘They can select a player if theylike or even do a random draw.
‘‘The clubs are aware of that. Theyquite understand that and it can hap-pen.
‘‘They have to be aware that that’sthe situation and they need to ensurethey are monitoring their playersand monitoring their medical andfitness staff to ensure these things areobserved.’’
The VRU will liaise closely withits clubs to strengthen the system.
They do not want PEDs to filter
down to the club level.‘‘I don’t think we have an issue,’’
Bamford said.‘‘It’s the level where they’re at:
they’re not professionals, they havejobs, they go home and they want toplay as best they can.
‘‘[Some players] might push thebarrier. We would hope they don’t
do those things and we’ve put outmessages with the clubs to keep aneye out for these sort of things tomake sure it’s not either condoned orenforced.
‘‘We will be looking at ways thatwe can strengthen the system andimprove the system.’’

Demons coachkeeps it simpleBY ROY WARD
Demon delight: Springvale Districts wants to push into the SFL division 2 finals this season. Justin Doust is pictured last season.Picture: Wayne Hawkins
NEW Springvale Districts coach JackMcTaggart believes consistency andpersistence will be the keys to his side’schances this Southern Football Leaguedivision 2 season.
The 38-year-old two-time NarreWarren premiership player has crossedover from his role as the Magpiesunder-18s coach to take on the seniorrole with the Demons.
He replaces Clint Einsiedel, who hastaken on the Heatherton senior coach-ing job.
McTaggart said he believed theDemons were close to making thefinals last year and he hoped to takethem the next step.
‘‘The side missed the finals on per-centage and still won 12 out of 18games,’’ McTaggart said.
‘‘We weren’t far off finals and werecompetitive against the top sides.
‘‘So we want to make finals this yearand once you get there, if things goyour way then you never know whatwill happen.
‘‘The teams in division 2 seem veryclose together so we will need to bemore consistent in our performancesto make finals.’’
McTaggart said he was recom-mended for the role by Magpies seniorcoach Chris Toner, whose father-in-
law is Demons club legend David Hall.‘‘The opportunity came out of the
blue and I hadn’t even got around toapplying for any jobs,’’ McTaggartsaid.
‘‘It was pretty soon after the footballseason ended, I wasn’t sure what I wasgoing to do, then I was contacted bySpringvale Districts and it went fromthere.’’
McTaggart said he believed themajority of last year’s side wouldreturn, while a few former Demonshad returned to train with the club andmay play this season.
He has also brought along five to sixplayers from his Narre Warren under-18 side last year and he hopes they willplay as well.
‘‘I think two to three of those boyscould play seniors straight away,’’ hesaid.
‘‘Then during the year playersimprove so with further improvementthose other young guys could playsenior footy at some stage as well.
‘‘We still have a few players up in theair about next season and we have oneor two that we are looking at recruit-ing.’’
The SFL season begins on April 13with the Demons opening theirseason against Skye at SpringvaleReserve.
Dingoes look a contenderDINGLEY captain Daniel Wendler is confid-ent his side has the ability to go one better andmake the Tennis Victoria Premier Leaguegrand final when the new season starts onMarch 1.
The Dingoes men finished third last seasonbut with Matt Carroll, Rob Phillips andWendler returning from last season’s teamjoined by Scott McNamara, Cory Phillips,Jacob Scott, Samuel Thompson and AnthonyZafiris, the team looks capable of pressing forthe title.
Wendler said the Dingoes had a good squad.‘‘We are looking really good,’’ he said.‘‘We have a couple of old faces from the
Asia Pacific League and last year’s PremierLeague who have stayed loyal to us and acouple of players we have nabbed from Koo-yong.
‘‘The team is a little older this season but wehave some good strong heads. I think we cando really well.’’
Wendler said his side this season was bettersuited to playing in the team-based PremierLeague competition.
‘‘We have selected a team of guys who arethere for the right reasons, guys who enjoyand excel with a team environment,’’ he said.‘‘In previous years we have probably had guyswho are more individual based players.
‘‘In this league it’s not every man for himselflike in a tournament — you need guys whowant to play for each other.’’
Waverley will also field a men’s team in thePremier League with Aaron Leeder-Chardleading the side which also includes AaronAddison, Julian Arnold, Daniel Ferretti, Mat-thew Nickels and Nima Roshan.

Rangers lose squeaker but see bright sideDANDENONG Rangers will enter the WNBLplay-offs on a loss but coach Mark Wright believeshis side got the best possible lead-in to the post-season with a gruelling clash against AdelaideLightning at Dandenong Stadium on Saturdaynight.
The second place Rangers battled the third-placeLightning in an engrossing encounter which wasonly decided in the final seconds when Lightningand Australian star Suzy Batkovic got the ball andscored with her trusty left hand with three secondsleft.
With no time outs left, Rangers import MonicaWright got the ball from the inbound but wasunable to get a shot away before the buzzersounded, giving the Lightning a 71-69 win andbragging rights heading into the play-offs.
Batkovic had a game-high 22 points and 12rebounds while Jenna O’Hea paced the Rangerswith 19 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.
The Rangers will face Bendigo Spirit at BendigoStadium in the qualifying semi-final this Sunday at4pm while the Lightning will host Townsville Firein the knockout semi-final.
The winner of the Spirit v Rangers game will hostthe WNBL grand final.
Wright said his side would take a lot from theintense match-up and would be better for the run asimport centre Krista Phillips got to play her firstminutes in several weeks after struggling withinjury.
“It ended badly for us but with that said anddone we couldn’t have got a better hit out beforethe finals in terms of having to grind it out,” Wrightsaid. “It was a finals game and lucky for us we getto play the real thing next week.”
Wright said Phillips would benefit from morepractice time this week while teenage centre CarleyMijovic will also be fine after not being usedagainst the Lightning.
Wright said Mijovic was hit by a bad case of foodpoisoning during the Rangers’ trip to Queenslandthe previous weekend but would be fully fit.
He said the Rangers would treat the match likean interstate road trip.
“We will be up there on Saturday so we can getthat road mentality going,” he said.
The Rangers are offering a tickets and bus hirepackage to Bendigo for supporters this Sunday. Formore information contact Dandenong Stadium on9794 7192.

Panthers teeter on the brink

Only Panthers captain Tom Donnell (46) was able toprovide much with the bat and Ben Hocking (22) andJames Wilcock (17) offered some late-innings resistanceas the last three wickets provided 53 runs.

Import puts team spirit firstBY ROY WARD
LIKE any well-weathered top-order batsman,Jeevantha Kulatunga knows how to take thegood conditions with the bad.
After 20 years of playing Sri Lankan first-class cricket and a couple of Twenty20 interna-tional matches for Sri Lanka, the 39 year oldventured out to Springvale South for this Dan-denong District Cricket Association turf 1 sea-son.
He admits he found the opening rounds ofthe season as challenging as any of his previouscampaigns as he adjusted to playing cricket atclub level.
‘‘The first thing I found difficult was that wewould train on artificial wickets and then playon turf,’’ he said. ‘‘There’s a big differencebetween the two surfaces and that was hard,especially when the turf wickets were wet andgreen in the first few rounds.
‘‘Then in the matches there are no side-screens and people would park their vehiclesbehind the bowler’s arm and watch the matchfrom there.
‘‘Of course, you can’t say anything becauseyou will be sledged, so I just minded my ownbusiness. You just have to put mind over mat-ter and focus on your own batting.’’
The Bloods and Kulatunga have long talkedabout him spending a season with the side ashe was childhood friends with wicketkeeperManoj Hettiarachchi and developed a friend-
ship with captain-coach Craig Slocombe dur-ing Slocombe’s regular visits to Sri Lanka.
But the move came to a head when a delega-tion of Bloods officials visited Kulatunga inColombo last year.
‘‘I had a contract with the Sri LankanCricket Board for the past few seasons andwhen you are contracted you must play first-class cricket in Sri Lanka. This year I wasn’tunder contract so I thought I would go andhave a look at Australia.
‘‘It was a big change after two decades ofplaying in Sri Lanka.’’
Kulatunga has made 414 runs at 46 from 10matches, figures that he hoped would be a littlebetter after making three scores over 70 in thepast four matches without notching a century.
He said he hadn’t put pressure on himself topost big scores nor let his opponents distracthim, instead looking to put the Bloods in awinning position.
‘‘I hardly let anyone under my skin. I’ve seenit enough when playing league cricket in Eng-land. You have to be smart enough to handle it.
‘‘I hardly put pressure on myself. I just lookto winning the match for the team, instead ofworrying about my average or how I’m bat-ting. You can’t let your ego stand taller thanthe team.’’
The Bloods haven’t had the most successfulof seasons but still remain hopeful of makingthe turf 1 finals and Kulatunga expects to playa big role in the team’s charge to the post sea-
son. ‘‘I’m really enjoying my stay and mycricket. But [as an import] when you don’tscore runs and the team loses — it hits youbadly. It’s a different feeling when the team iswinning.
‘‘I haven’t had any big hundreds yet. I’m a bit. . . not disappointed, but I would have liked toget a big score so I’m looking to finish the sea-son with a big one.’’
Kulatunga also said the Bloods officials andplayers were excellent hosts and he hadenjoyed a ‘‘brilliant time’’ with the club, bothas a player and helping with coaching someunder-15 players.
While other DDCA players will move on tofootball season or other winter endeavours,Kulatunga will head home for the final fourmatches of the Sri Lankan first class seasonbefore playing in the Sri Lankan Twenty20Premier League, where he teamed with playerssuch as Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumar Sangakkaraand John Hastings in the past season.
‘‘We have had it for two years now and it’sbeen brilliant.
‘‘We used to have a local Twenty20 competi-tion, like Australia had before the Big Bash.
‘‘I’ve been lucky. I played in an amazingteam last year with players like Jayasuriya andSangakkara.
‘‘I have a couple of clubs in Sri Lanka keenfor me to play with them in the final fourmatches, so I will have to go straight backwhen the DDCA season ends.’’
