SEASON’S GREETINGS

Charities pool By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Volunteer Brittany Cunningham with Margaret Ladner gather gifts for Christmas cheer. 147583 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Ms Ladner sees others who are living in their cars. “Sometimes you see a big man come in nearly crying. He may have lost his job six months ago, hasn’t been able to find work, and now the mortgage is catching up with him.” DCAB manager Jinny McGrath said between the three charities about 470 families received toys, food vouchers or hampers last Christmas. Another 500 hampers were distributed on top of that, she said. “Each household we assisted received a toy for each child under 12, and either a food hamper or food voucher and single adults also received a present.” Ms McGrath said that under the combined charities’ Christmas Cheer program it was hop-

ing to provide extra help to lowincome people this Christmas. The aim was to provide parents a selection of gifts for their children, and to provide a gift for single and alone people on low incomes. The charities need cash, non-perishable food, toys suitable for children aged seven to 17, bath towels and $25 Kmart, Big W and Target vouchers to spread their Christmas cheer. A volunteer manual ute driver for half-a-day per week is also required at Dandenong Benevolent Society. To donate, write a cheque to DCAB, posted to 186 Foster Street East, Dandenong 3175, or visit https://www.givenow. com.au/dandenongcabchristmascheer.

1210048-JV50-15

CHARITIES haven’t given up the needy this Christmas just because the Federal Government gave up on them. Dandenong Community Advisory Bureau, Salvation Army Doveton and Dandenong Benevolent Society are overcoming their own budget black holes by pooling together to help large numbers in financial hardship. Dandenong Benevolent Society’s $70,000 of federal emergency relief funding was cut this year, of which $20,000 was used to give families a toy and food for Christmas. President Margaret Ladner said community generosity had magnificently helped to fill the breach. She cites the example of an anonymous man who left $150 at the store for the past 10 festive seasons; many others float by with a generous donation. “Just let people know that it’s them that’s keeping us going,” Ms Ladner said. She says she’s regularly seeing young mums and kids fleeing domestic violence, looking for a place to stay. One such broken family, whose income was swallowed by their rent, was given money for pharmaceutical prescriptions and babies milk, as well as a supermarket voucher.

THE staff at Parkmore Central Pharmacy wish their customers a merry Christmas and a happy new year. After 35 years in the pharmacy profession, owner and pharmacist Brendan Wong has acquired a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience not only in pharmacy but also in how to look after his valued customers on a personal level in the neighbourhood.

After graduating from Manchester University, England, in 1981 Brendan worked in Hong Kong and New Zealand, eventually calling Melbourne home in 1996. Over the past five years, Brendan has expanded into the nextdoor shop, creating a more enjoyable shopping experience, while also growing the range of stocked products.

In August, the Parkmore Central Pharmacy became an official stockist of the prestigious brands Shiseido, Lancôme and Jurlique. Brendan and his staff value the high praise and positive feedback from customers with unreserved loyalty and they endeavour to continue to provide their excellent pharmacy service.

■ India precinct funds fall a little short of expectation.....

Cash complaint DANDENONG’S Little India has been shortchanged despite winning the race to become Victoria’s first Indian cultural precinct, says an Indian community leader. Federation of Indian Associations Victoria president Vasan Srinivasan said the pledged $500,000 of state funding was well short of the $2.5 million which Chinatown, the Lonsdale Street Greek precinct and Lygon Street’s Italian precinct each received. “What can you do with $500,000?” Museum India, which was launched in Foster Street last year, will shut its doors without healthy support from the State Government, Mr Srinivasan said. It is seeking a base in the nearby

historic Masonic Hall in Mason Street to house its vast, ancient collection of art, coins and stamps. “We haven’t got a cent from the (state) government yet,” Mr Srinivasan said. “But it’s easy for the minister to say we’ve got a precinct.” He said the co-announced $500,000 for an Indian community centre in City of Wyndham was also short of the required $9 million. “You can’t buy a three bedroom house in Wyndham for $500,0000.” The 12-month selection process had divided Indians in different regions of Melbourne, pitting City of Wyndham, Melbourne CBD and Dandenong against one another, Mr Srinivasan said.

“The same government branded the area Little India in 2010. So why are we coming back and playing this game? “It’s the same stuff in a different bag. “After spending time and effort over a year and dividing the community in three directions ... I say do not use my community as your political football.” At the precinct announcement on 2 December, Multicultural Affairs Minister Robin Scott told Star News there would be further funding “in line with other precincts”. “It will get more than $500,000,” Mr Scott said. “We will seek contributions from traders and will be working through with the (Greater Dandenong) council

BERWICK VOLKSWAGEN

Some of the council and community’s ideas include a Bollywood film festival, Diwali, Eid and Chand new moon celebrations, a further marketing push and building works. Little India trader Dinesh Chauhan said the precinct announcement gave him and other traders a “lifeline” after the upheaval of road closures and disruptions during Revitalising Central Dandenong’s initial phase. “We weren’t sure if we’d stay or the government would kick us. With this, we can be sure. “We will retain our livelihoods. “It consolidates Dandenong as a multicultural city. It’s a big achievement for the Indian community.”

for a contribution from them.” He said Little India won the right because it was deemed “ready to go” and the region was home to vast Indian and south Asian communities, he said. It would be the equivalent of Chinatown and Lygon Street as a cultural destination. “This precinct will become a hub of activity - hosting festivals, a drawcard for tourism, supporting small businesses and boosting the local economy in Dandenong,” he said. Currently, the precinct holds an annual street festival, cultural tours, 36 businesses and Museum India. What is to come will depend on stakeholders such as Greater Dandenong Council and Foster Street Traders Association, Mr Scott said.

Councillors’ relief after ‘shocking’ investigation By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY Councillor Amanda Stapledon has spoken publicly for the first time since she was cleared last week of misconduct over allegedly corrupt Liberal Party donations. Speaking at the public council meeting on Tuesday, the Mayfield Ward councillor has told of the “harrowing” investigation and the “impact of watching my mother’s face” as the allegations were aired on the news. Cr Stapledon and fellow councillor Geoff Ablett were cleared last Wednesday when the Victorian Ombudsman released her report, finding the allegations could not be substantiated. But State Ombudsman Deborah Glass still recommended restrictions be put in place on donations made to candidates and political parties by property developers, while also recommending that all donations to a candidate or a political party should be required to be published on a publicly available register within 30 days of the relevant election.

Crs Stapledon and Ablett - who stood as Liberal candidates in last year’s state election - always denied wrongdoing after being interviewed as part of the state Ombudsman’s probe into donations and council planning decisions, which was first reported in The Australian last November. “The process has been harrowing in terms of my concerns around perception and the impact of watching my mother’s face as my face appeared on television accusing me of something that she knew I had not done,” Cr Stapledon told the council chamber. She said she “couldn’t stop shaking” after Ms Glass released her findings, following “a year of feeling sick to the stomach”. “To those who may have been involved in this way, I say shame on you!” Cr Stapledon said. After the findings were released Cr Ablett slammed the “faceless people” who he claimed tried to derail his election campaign with the allegations. “Right over the 12 months I knew I hadn’t

done anything wrong,” he said. “It’s disappointing to have faceless people do that to you. “It was quite a shock to me and it did have an effect on me and my family. “You think what types of people are doing this?” The Ombudsman’s findings from the political donations investigation also discuss allegations made against fellow Casey councillors Sam Aziz, now mayor, and Damian Rosario, who both did not run in the state election. Key allegations included that councillors accepted donations from property developers in return for favourable council planning decisions, including the approval of a planning permit for a Narre Warren South funeral parlour. In August last year, Casey councillors approved Bereavement Assistance’s planning permit application for a funeral parlour at 236 Cranbourne Road - rescinding their decision to reject the proposal a month earlier.

TWO Comancheros from the bikie club’s Hallam chapter - including the group’s commander - were arrested on Friday morning following raids in Narre Warren and Dandenong. The bomb squad was called to the Narre Warren property after explosives were allegedly found in a car during the 4 December raid. The two men were arrested by the Echo Taskforce in relation to a shooting at a restaurant in Preston just over a month ago. Police were called to the High Street restaurant about 3.40am on Saturday 24 October after reports of several gunshots being fired inside. No-one was injured in the shooting, and the alleged offenders fled before police arrived. On Friday 4 December the 29-year-old commander of the Comancheros Hallam chapter was arrested at a property in Fredrick Street, Dandenong, while another 24-year-old member of the bikie gang was arrested at a Heatherton Road property in Narre Warren. During the search of the Narre Warren property, detectives found a large number of guns and what appeared to be explosives were found in a car. The area was cordoned off and the Bomb Response Unit was called in. Police also found a small amount of what was believed to be methylamphetamine at the Dandenong property.

Dead body gets Googled INTERNET giant Google has found itself in a pickle after a Google Street View image showed what appeared to be a body lying on an Endeavour Hills nature strip. A caller rang radio station 3AW on Friday about the startling image of the body lying under a white sheet, which was later blurred by Google. The image is dated July this year. The person is believed to have died from natural causes. Victoria Police confirmed the image was taken in an Endeavour Hills street.

Students go from the Hills to the Wall - of China IT’S a long way from Endeavour Hills to China. But that didn’t stop students and teachers from James Cook Primary School making the international trip in October as part of the school’s student study tour. Six students, two parents and three teachers made the journey which was organised in conjunction with James Cook Primary School’s sister school Sanjing Primary

School in Changzhou in Jiangsu province. The 12-day tour included a range of cultural icons such as The Great Wall of China, the Terracotta Warriors, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Disneyland and an acrobatic show were also squeezed into the itinerary. “When we were standing on one of the wonders of the world - the Great Wall of China - it became a

reality that we really can bring the world to our students,” principal Kathy Sharp, who went on the trip, said. “It was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my teaching career to be able to take students, who were exemplary ambassadors for our school, to have this unique opportunity of a lifetime.” The students prepared themselves for the tour by having exten-

Help spread a little Christmas cheer CHRISTMAS and the January period can be a difficult time for people, especially if they are on a low income and if they have children. A recent survey of clients accessing support services at The Salvation Army found that, after accommodation costs, the majority lived on less than $20 per day. For individuals living on Newstart this was closer to $9 per day. This leaves little available for everyday expenses let alone special occasions like Christmas or meeting back-to-school costs of uniform and books. With emergency relief agencies in the City of Greater Dandenong losing over $250,000 per year in funding from the Federal Government, we are all really struggling to assist people this Christmas. Therefore the Dandenong Commu-

JINNY MCGRATH DANDENONG COMMUNITY ADVISORY BUREAU MANAGER

nity Advisory Bureau, the Dandenong Benevolent Society and the Doveton Salvation Army have joined together to organise a Christmas Cheer Appeal. The community advice bureau is co-ordinating the donations. We are appealing to businesses and the general community to help make Christmas a special time for those experiencing financial hardship in our area. With assistance we hope to improve well-being for people on low incomes who live in the target area by enabling them to access extra assistance at Christmas time; provide parents with

choice in selection of presents for their children and thus maintain dignity and reduce financial hardship; and bring good cheer to single and alone people on low incomes by providing a gift at Christmas time. Donations will be used to assist families in need. A $25 gift card for Kmart, Target or Big W will buy a present for a child. A $25 donation will help a household buy some special Christmas foods. A $15 donation will buy a present for a person who is alone at Christmas. Donations can be made by sending a cheque to Dandenong CAB, 186 Foster Street East, Dandenong 3175, donating online at https://www.givenow.com.au/dandenongcabchristmascheer or calling 9791 8344 to discuss further.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 9 December 1915 A Fighting Family THREE sons of Mr Lindsay late of Cardinia Creek have gone to war. Sergeant David Lindsay took part in the first landing at Gallipoli, was wounded and invalided back to Victoria. Private Albert Lindsay, after serving four months in the trenches at Gallipoli, was seriously wounded by a huge explosive shell, he was sent to hospital at Malta. When nearly recovered from his wounds, he had an attack of enteric fever and was then sent to England. The third son, Frank, went to England, volunteered for and was accepted for the Royal Navy, where he is now serving. The fourth son, Sergeant Harold Lindsay of the Senior Cadets, is keenly looking forward to the time when he will be old enough to do his little bit in helping to bring the Kaiser to heel.

50 years ago 5 December 1965 Only the rain was driving Dandenong - It was a cold morning with driving rain. The Weather Bureau said “A cold southerly wind with gusts to 40MPH”. He had slept in - bed was hard to leave on such a morning. He was late for work. A rushed breakfast - and a quick dash to his car parked in front of the house. The engine started despite the cold. The windscreen wipers worked. Everything was fine, the gears slipped in easily. He could make up some time on the highway; traffic wouldn’t be so heavy at this time. A final wave to his wife, and he let the clutch out, something was wrong. The car didn’t move. He went through the process again. Tried second gear. The engine raced but the car stayed where it was. This called for investigation.

He got out of the car and saw - no wheels. The car rested sedately on four piles of bricks, someone had removed all four wheels during the night. 20 years ago 4 December 1995 Cheery band does the rounds The Dandenong Salvation Army band is striking up a cheery note and will be playing at homes for the elderly, schools, carol services and on “roving commissions” until Christmas Eve. The band starts its busy schedule by playing at the Sothern Cross Nursing Home and at Willow Lodge on December 15. The band will be at Dandenong Carols by Candlelight and Bellview Nursing Home in the early morning. On Christmas Eve it will play for the senior citizens at Berwick House.

5 years ago 29 November 2010 Woman run over by own car A Noble Park North woman was run over twice by her own car last Thursday morning when she failed to put on the hand brake. The 38-year-old thought she had put the hand brake on as she got out of her car but it rolled backwards, knocking her over. Paramedic Graig Brooks said the car ran over the woman’s lower stomach and legs before crossing the street, hitting a fence, bouncing back, and running over again. He said the woman couldn’t move after being hit the first time. She was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition.

Archbishop says Cardinal should not be blamed

Pervert priest By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Mr Fontana told the hearing that one of the investigators described Fr Searson as “the coolest and most polished suspect he’d ever interviewed... at that time”. That investigation was abandoned due to the girl’s parents not wishing to proceed with charges but police followed up their concerns with the Catholic Church. “(He) recalls that, to his disappointment, he was informed that unless Searson was convicted of an offence, no action would be taken by the Catholic Church against him.” Despite repeated requests for Fr Searson’s dismissal, he survived accusations at the school for 13 years. These included pointing an army service revolver at child cleaners, assaulting children, showing a dead body in a coffin to children, flinging a cat by its tail to its death, and killing a baby bird with a screwdriver in front of children. At one stage, he asked his clergy bosses for permission to conduct an exorcism. The Royal Commission heard that Fr Searson had written to request a transfer to another parish in 1986. At the hearing, Archbishop Denis Hart agreed with an assertion that his predecessor Frank Little refused to agree to Fr Searson’s request because there was no suitable parish to send him to. The Royal Commission continues.

CARDINAL George Pell has been excluded from blame by Melbourne’s Archbishop Denis Hart for the clergy’s “terrible failure” in dealing with an abusive parish priest at Holy Family Parish in Doveton. At a Royal Commission hearing into institutions’ response to child sex abuse on 30 November, Mr Hart criticised his predecessor Archbishop Frank Little and Vicars-General for not sooner removing a “just mad, psychotic” Father Peter Searson from the parish. Father Searson presided over the parish in 1984-97 despite senior clergy and the Catholic Education Office receiving numerous complaints from the school principal, teachers, parents and pupils, the hearing at the County Court was told. The claims included allegedly molesting and striking children, pointing a hand gun at child cleaners, flinging a cat by its tail to its death, killing a baby bird with a screwdriver and showing children a dead body in a coffin.

The Melbourne Archdiocese showed a “complete failure of process as to the handling of the complaints”, Archbishop Hart said. “There was such a respect that only the Archbishop could act, that this introduced a paralysis.” He said the paralysis extended from Archbishop Little to those advising him at the time of Father Searson’s reign of terror. “There was information coming in from Allan Dooley, the director of (Catholic) education (who) was meeting with the Archbishop. “These things were being presented again and again and again, and nothing was happening.” Cardinal Pell was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of the region, including Doveton, in 1987 - and held talks with four concerned school staff about Father Searson two years later. While under questioning from counsel assisting the Royal Commission, Archbishop Hart “excluded” Cardinal Pell

POLICE wrongly dismissed a child’s accusations of sexual abuse by Doveton’s Holy Family Parish priest Father Peter Searson, a senior police officer has stated. Assistant Commissioner Stephen Fontana, who oversees the police’s child exploitation and sexual offences investigation units, told a Royal Commission hearing on 2 December that he disagreed with a police assessment at the time that there wasn’t a sexual offence. Mr Fontana said that the statement by complainant Julie Stewart to police in 1990 showed “quite clearly there was an indecency around” Fr Searson’s actions. “I think the whole circumstances (were) surrounded with indecency.” Earlier at the Royal Commission, Ms Stewart gave a graphic account of Fr Searson’s repeated indecent assault of her as a nine-year-old in the privacy of the Catholic confession box next to the parish’s school in 1984-85. Her complaint was backed by the school principal, staff and students at the parish school but dismissed by senior clergy. Ms Stewart stated to the commission that the police probationary constable who interviewed her about the matter said: “Oh my God, what were you wearing, a neon sign above your head, saying ‘come and get me’?” The comment re-traumatised her and caused her to shut down during the interview, Ms Stewart told the hearing. Mr Fontana said the officer didn’t recall making the comment but unreservedly apologised if he said anything offensive. “He was mortified when he heard it. “I was surprised... that a probationary constable would be taking a statement of that nature.” According to a police report on the matter exhibited at the hearing there were “nil offences disclosed as previously believed”. “All Searson has done is sit the child on his knee and get the children to kiss him on the cheek,” the report stated. In 1993, police investigated Fr Searson over allegedly holding a knife to a student’s chest and threatening her.

from blame. “Well, I think as Archbishop he instituted the Melbourne Response and really made big changes. “I have no knowledge of what he or another Auxiliary Bishop in Archbishop Little’s time - as what we’d say ... how hard they knocked on the door.” He later said he would have expected then-Auxiliary Bishop Pell to know what was happening in Doveton. “I would have expected him to have an adequate degree of knowledge; whether he knew all these awful things, which make me feel ashamed, I’m not sure. “Well, he’d have to explain what he did and didn’t know, but there was a complete failure of process.” In 1997, Father Searson was finally removed as priest, put on administrative leave and charged with unlawful assault after a complaint of him hitting an altar boy. He was released without conviction on a good behaviour bond, and died in 2009.

Robin stays tuned in By LACHLAN MOORHEAD IT’S doubtful anyone other than Robin Dzedins can say they’ve attended every public council meeting since the City of Casey’s inception. It means Robin has sat in more than 500 meetings over the almost two decades since they were made open to the public in 1998. That’s not to mention the couple of years worth of meetings the community stalwart attended when her local council was still the Shire of Cranbourne before it merged with the City of Berwick. “I’m interested in how our city runs, I’m interested in helping it be good,” Robin, who lives in Lynbrook, told Star News. “I’m interested in contributing, I’m interested in hearing how its run.” Robin - who is a member of the council’s conservation advisory committee, access and inclusion committee and the multifaith network - has seen a lot in the chambers over all these years. “There have been some unpleasant times where there was extreme tension between councillors so it wasn’t easy for them to work together,” Robin said. But to counter the lows, Robin, a previous Casey volunteer award winner, said one of the biggest positives for council and the community was the looming development of Bunjil Place, council’s new cultural precinct. “That’s a standout for me, I think it

Casey's most vigilant resident Robin Dzedins. 147705 will be so good for the city,” she said. “I’m dying to see an arts centre, and for us to have a big library.” An avid bird watcher, Robin has been passionate about the environment for as long as she can remember. “I’ve always been interested in attending council meetings because of my inter-

est in environmental matters,” she said. “I’m always very aware of any council decisions that might affect the environment.” Going forward, Robin said the biggest issue for the City of Casey will be managing the municipality’s ever burgeoning growth.

“It’s grown so big that many people living in Casey have utterly no idea where the borders are,” she said. “I find that sad. “I think if you live in Casey it’s good to know about it and to know exactly where it is and what it includes.”

Vital lessons to be learnt from Call me Dad By LACHLAN MOORHEAD DIRECTOR Sophie Wiesner gathered with her film crew in a Sydney pub when their family violence documentary finally went to air on Thursday 26 November. They watched eagerly and tweeted madly as the ground-breaking film ‘Call Me Dad’ was broadcast on the ABC across the nation. The documentary, which coincided with last week’s White Ribbon initiative, focuses on the inner workings of a men’s behavioural change group in Narre Warren. Over 16 weeks last year independent film-maker Sophie and her team chronicled the men involved in the group Heavy METAL - short for Men’s Education Towards Anger and Life. The documentary focuses on three men in particular - each a father and perpetrator of violence - and their families. “It’s really special to be able to share something we’ve been working on for years now, and to know we’ve been watching it with hundreds of thousands of others,” Sophie told Star News after the film’s debut. “I guess there’s also some trepidation as well. We think we’ve made a compelling and engaging film, but we don’t know

Filmmaker Sophie Wiesner and Casey local and trained counsellor Dave Nugent worked together to create the documentary 'Call Me Dad', which Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS aired nationally last week. 126046 how other people are going to react.” Sophie is incredibly proud and respectful of the bravery shown by the participants who allowed their stories to

be broadcast on national television, and made sure she checked in with them before and after the film aired. “Some of them did feel anxious before

the broadcast, but they were well supported by the counsellors and each other,” she said. “And the feedback I received from them is that the people that have approached them to talk about the film have been positive on their decision to participate and feel the film has been, and will continue to be, helpful for families experiencing violence.” The counsellors are Dave Nugent and Jacqui Seamark, who run the weekly twoand-a-half-hour Heavy METAL sessions. “Dave and Jackie are really proud of what the film has been able to show, and I think they’ve received some really positive feedback from ex-clients and people that work in the sector,” Sophie said. “There isn’t a film like this as far as they’re aware. “The conversations have also turned to what can we do with this film? Can it be used for community and corporate screenings? “Can it be used as part of an educational offering?” The answer to these questions is “yes”, with Sophie urging readers to host a community screening and put together a discussion panel. To host a screening, visit www.callmedadfilm.com.

Firebug teens TWO 14-year-old boys were caught in the act when they started a grass fire in Berwick on Sunday 29 November. Residents of Cooney Close rushed to the scene when they noticed smoke coming from a storm drain at the end of the court. Members from the Narre Warren Police Station noticed the pair loitering near the storm drain and observed the teenagers until they saw smoke. The grass fire was put out swiftly by residents, police and the Berwick CFA. The boys were arrested and will be charged on summons.

Council goes door knocking THE City of Casey is bringing community consultations to local doorsteps. During December and January, council representatives will be walking the streets in a bid to increase community engagement. Mayor Sam Aziz said the fresh way of conducting market research was the start of a new council strategy. “It demonstrates we’re seriously thinking about alternative ways to hear from our community,” he said. Encouraging residents to answer the door bell, Cr Aziz said he hoped people would share their thoughts. “During the doorknock interviews, we will be asking residents about how they want to be consulted, on what topics, and their priorities for council’s advocacy to the State and Federal Governments,” he said. Households will be randomly selected from across the municipality. Metropolis Research staff will be door knocking on Saturdays and Sundays between 10am and 6 pm.

Bail refused By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Gang teens should be in school GREATER Dandenong police’s regional commander prefers not to use the term ‘Apex Gang’ for a group of young burglars and car thieves. Regardless of the description, Inspector Bruce Kitchen said the arrests of more than a dozen young offenders some as young as 13 - in Melbourne’s south-east had put the brakes on a spate of home break-ins to steal car keys and vehicles. The stolen vehicles have been used to commit armed robberies, some for joy riding and also to be stripped down for parts or rebirthing. Insp Kitchen disapproves with the use of ‘Apex Gang’ with its provocative gangsterlike connotations, preferring On his arrest, Achan gave a no-comment interview to police. He had been non-compliant with a bail support program that he was on at the time. Magistrate Julie O’Donnell said it was “highly relevant” whether Achan was part of the Apex gang, whose members had been arrested over similar high-end car thefts and burglaries in recent weeks. She had recently passed judgement on several Apex Gang members, one as young as 13, she said. “In the context of that gang, (Achan) is an older offender.”

to describe the offenders as a group of young people. These types of crimes were also trending across metropolitan Melbourne, he said. “It’s a broader spectrum than just this Apex Gang. It involves a wide age group. It’s not one particular culture.” The challenge now was what to do about the young offenders’ rehabilitation. Many of them had not been in trouble with the law before, Insp Kitchen said. “They want to get them back to school and back to work. “If they go to other institutions, they learn other tricks of the trade and the offending isn’t reduced.” She adjourned the case to allow police time to establish if there was a gang link. “I’m concerned about the risk that Mr Achan is being to the community. “In one of the briefs, it talks about (the accused and associates) driving in a convoy through red lights. “I don’t have to say what the possible consequences are. We have already seen them.” Achan was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on December 21.

AN 18-YEAR-OLD alleged car thief was refused bail until his links to a so-called ’Apex Gang’ were resolved. Gobriel Achan, of Dandenong, pleaded guilty to nine charges over breaking into a Keysborough house as its three residents slept on 17 November, stealing three car keys and the corresponding three vehicles. Achan and two co-accused entered the home through a pedestrian door to a double garage, and then an internal garage door between 1am and 4am, police prosecutor Senior Constable Ryan Johnson told the court. The accused is believed to have stolen two sets of car keys from a hallway side table drawers and a set from the top of the table, as well as a wallet with a debit card and $5 cash. It was alleged Achan used a key to drive away one of the residents’ Ford XR6, while his co-accused used the other keys to take a Holden Cruze and VW Golf. His attempted purchase of goods at a Keysborough servo using the stolen debit card was declined. The three drove around the south-eastern suburbs as a convoy, speeding through speed cameras, Sen Const Johnson said. Achan and a female co-accused were found in the Cruze by police in Doveton that morning. He resisted arrest and fled from police before being found in a Doveton home’s front yard.

‘Not my job’: minister

Phone: 5945 0666 Fax: 5945 0777 starnewsgroup@starnewsgroup.com.au www.starcommunity.com.au

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE Police Minister has hit back at claims he is “passing the buck” when it comes to the Endeavour Hills police station not being manned 24-7. Casey councillor Rafal Kaplon again raised the issue in Urgent Business on Tuesday after council resolved in April to write to Police Minister Wade Noonan to investigate the feasibility of having the station manned 24-hours a day. “When I raised this issue before this council in the past, the minister’s response was that politicians

do not make decisions on these matters,” Cr Kaplon said this week. “To this day I maintain that such a response amounts to passing the buck because it is politicians like the Minister for Police who allocate the money that is meant to ensure the safety of our communities.” But Mr Noonan remained steadfast, telling Star News that he was not allowed to allocate police resources and that it was the Chief Commissioner’s responsibility. “Under changes introduced by the previous government, in S.10 of the Victoria Police Act 2013, the Po-

lice Minister cannot direct the specific allocation of police resources,” he said. “That is a matter for the Chief Commissioner. “The law is the law.” Mr Noonan said the Endeavour Hills station still offered “a 24-hour service” despite its front counter being closed from 11pm to 7am. But Police Association secretary Ron Iddles recently told the media that wasn’t enough. “It has never had been adequately staffed so that it could always keep

its doors open around the clock,” he said. When Cr Kaplon raised the issue in April he said the increasing population in the suburbs of Endeavour Hills, Hallam and Doveton had led to a “visible rise” in crime in the area. Last September the station was the scene of the fatal shooting death of 18-year-old terrorism suspect Numan Haider. While earlier this year a body identified as Dung Tri Pham was found in a burnt-out car in Eumemmerring in a suspected murder.

IF THERE was any doubt, there isn’t anymore. Infamous party boy Corey Worthington has well and truly settled down after marrying partner Melissa at a special Bali wedding over the weekend. The now 24-year-old, who Star News spoke to back in September this year, is still getting publicity from throwing the outof-control party at his parents’ Narre Warren home in 2008, where more than 500 people turned up after the invitation went viral on Myspace. “Any 16-year-old - I say it to anyone - if you’ve got cameras chucked in your face, people throwing money, getting to go overseas, getting to go around Australia, getting to meet famous people. Why not? Why wouldn’t you do it?” Co-

rey told Star News. “Getting to go on Big Brother, for throwing one simple party, it just went ‘boom’. “I enjoyed it and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.” And while Corey, who works full-time as a concreter and still lives locally, admitted he wished his parents hadn’t been dragged into the media spotlight along with him, it seems time really does heal all wounds. “It took a little bit for them to get over what happened but they knew I was 16 and that I didn’t mean for it to get out of hand but they knew like ... look what came out of it,” he said. “They were sort of proud with how I handled a lot of situations as well. “Because for a 16-year-old to take on all that, it was a lot at the time.”

Former party boy Corey Worthington is now on the straight and narrow. 143712 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

CHRISTMAS IN ENDEAVOUR HILLS

Luke Chant, Anna Nyhuis, Jesse Szalay, Amanda Deed and Mike Albert are all looking forward to the Endeavour Hills Community Carols this month. 147999 Picture: ROB CAREW

Fireworks wow crowd By LACHLAN MOORHEAD FOR most of the 1000-strong crowd the highlight of the Endeavour Hills Christmas Carols is the fireworks show which ends the event. But that’s not to say all the singing and entertainment that occurs beforehand is taken for granted. The annual Endeavour Hills Community Carols will again take place this month on Saturday 12 December at the South Eastern Christian Centre on Gleneagles Drive.

Open Days Enrolling Now Saturday 14 March, Saturday 24 march Early Learning 3 / 4 and 4 / 5 Year Old – Year 12

Organiser Amanda said there would be a lot of entertainment to choose from on the night including the plethora of fan-favourite carols, hip hop dancing and enjoyable music from the Casey Concert Band. “It’s great to be able to do this for the community and celebrate Christmas for the community and welcome everyone here,” Amanda said. “We have the opportunity for people to celebrate and we definitely get a lot of locals down.”

And when it comes to the fireworks at the end of the show - set off from nearby Barry Simon Reserve - Amanda said there was nothing better than seeing the wonder on everyone’s face. “They love it,” Amanda said. “You can hear lots of gasping and lots of ‘wows’.” For more information on the Endeavour Hills Community Carols, which will run from 5pm to 9pm on 12 December, contact the South Eastern Christian Centre on 9700 2314.

NEW HOMES & LAND

BUYERS MOVE QUICKLY TO THE RIDGE Construction is underway at Peet’s new Acacia community in the sought-after suburb of Botanic Ridge, paving the way for buyers to start building their new homes in mid-2016. Peet managing director and CEO Brendan Gore said the response from homebuyers to the new community has been incredibly positive. “The masterplan for Acacia takes full advantage of its natural setting and that is certainly proving to be a drawcard for buyers looking to live close to nature while still being close to important amenities and key transport links,” Mr Gore said. “This presents a unique opportunity for a range of homebuyers, including those looking to upgrade their home - and lifestyle.” And buyers have been quick to act, with stage one selling out and the release of stage two brought forward to meet demand. More than 60 home sites have now sold at Acacia since land sales began in July. Brett and Michelle Simmonds are delighted with their purchase at Acacia. “We knew we were on a good thing when we bought,” said 28-year-old Michelle Simmonds. “Acacia was selling like hot cakes. It’s got ‘family’ written all over it. “We live nearby and there are lots of new estates around the area but Acacia has a lot of things the others were lacking,” Michelle said. Brett and Michelle have secured one of the keenly contested corner blocks overlooking the wetlands they had their hearts set on. “We loved the block, we loved the

wetlands and there’s so much going on in the estate. “There’s the future school, parks and facilities, a shopping centre, there’s even a community centre planned,” she said. “For us with a young family, they’re all massive ticks in the box.” Michelle said the family will grow and 10-month-old Byron will have brothers or sisters to explore the wetlands with and kick a football or throw a frisbee in the park. “We’ll go for walks, feed the animals and play in the parks,” Michelle said. “We’ll be living in an estate but also surrounded by nature.” The Simmonds are planning to build their new two-storey home around a balcony with a focus on Acacia’s wetlands. “Quite literally, the balcony will be the main feature of the house,” Michelle said. ”It will be an unusual house in that we want the living areas upstairs connecting

onto a big balcony so we can do our living and entertaining overlooking the wetlands.” The Simmonds recently took their son Byron to visit Acacia and were amazed at how quickly the site works were progressing. The family is looking forward to living in Botanic Ridge, a suburb with a good name and postcode as well as easy access to Casey Fields and the amenities of Cranbourne. Acacia is just three kilometres from the Cranbourne town centre in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after locations. More than 600 households at Acacia will come to enjoy beautifully landscaped parks, designed wetlands and wide tree-lined streets that blend the community with the very best elements of the neighbouring Royal Botanic Gardens. In time, residents will also benefit from a range of planned amenities, including a

future shopping village, primary school and community centre, while the beach, Mornington Peninsula and three golf courses are just a short drive away. The new community is close to excellent transport links, with the South Gippsland Highway connecting residents to major roads and the Cranbourne Train Station just seven minutes’ drive away, offering convenient access to the Melbourne CBD. There is currently a range of home sites available with lots ranging from 336 square metres to a generous 595sqm, starting at $186,000. To find out how to make Acacia home, visit acaciabotanic.com.au, contact sales representative Georgie Smith on 0437 373 753 or drop by the Acacia Sales and Information Centre at 53 Craig Road, Botanic Ridge, on Mondays and public holidays from 1pm to 5pm, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 5pm.

COMING SOON Berwick’s newest estate is surrounded by green parklands and recreational fields. Offering absolute park frontage and situated within walking distance to wetlands and a future waterfront town centre, Llano presents a unique lifestyle opportunity.

INTRODUCING the Timber Mill, the new, family-run cafe in Officer which serves as a meeting point for the local community in the Timbertop Estate. The new cafe is one of the many amenities at the estate which is continuing to grow all the time. Timbertop Display Village features some of the region’s best builders and offers a wide selection of homes so there is something for everyone. Plans for 2016 include completing the wetlands and the two hectares of main parkland in the heart of Timbertop. The park will include a large kick-about area, basketball half-court and a large children’s playground. After a nice time in the park, residents and visitors will be able to kick back in the Timber Mill cafe. Co-owners Emma and Lisa have an extensive background in hospitality and pride themselves on delivering great coffee and homemade food. Only a stone’s throw from the Princes Highway, the Timber Mill offers breakfast and lunch options as well as a daily caffeine kick from 7am until 4pm and from 8am on Sundays. The Timber Mill boasts a seasonal menu with a focus on locally-supplied food and drink. Those who are looking for something substantial may wish to choose from one of the menu regulars such as mashed avocado with lemon and feta on sourdough for breakfast or an Asian-style pulled pork salad for lunch or one of the impressive array of daily specials. If, however, visitors want a simple snack with their coffee, tea, milkshake or refreshing juice, there is a range of muffins and cake options baked in-house

The latest REIV data shows that the number of days it took to sell a home in the popular Murray River location fell by 43 days over the year to a median of 100 days.

Laser treatment that is safe, effective and affordable! DANDENONG DERMATOLOGY CENTRE, WITH THEIR EXTENSIVE RANGE OF MEDICAL GRADE LASERS, OFFER LASER TREATMENT FOR MANY SKIN CONDITIONS AND MOST SKIN TYPES. The versatile Dual Yellow Copper Bromide laser is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of blemishes.

Who can be treated? Almost all skin types can be successfully treated with Dual Yellow laser for a wide range of blemishes, including vascular (red veins) and other lesions

Can all areas of the body be treated? Most areas including face, neck, chest, back, hands, arms and legs

How many treatments do I need? Most vascular (red veins) and pigmented (dark spots) need approximately 3-4 treatments

Does the treatment hurt? No anaesthetic is necessary and is well tolerated by most patients, with the sensation being described as a warm pinprick on the skin

Is the treatment safe? The Dual Yellow laser is operated by our experienced nurse/laser practitioner and is completely safe, targeting only the blemish

How soon will I see results? Mostly the results are immediate with the vascular lesions but some other lesions may take a week or so to improve

What conditions can be treated? Age spots on hands: Treatment to the backs of hands is very effective and removes unsightly sun damage or “age” spots. Freckles: Most common pigmented lesions are “freckles” caused by too much sun exposure. Sun damage: The yellow light helps generate new collagen, the essential protein for giving skin elasticity, so your skin will appear refreshed and its texture improved Skin tags: Skin tags and other benign raised lesions can be smoothed and flattened without damage to the surrounding skin Pigmentation/Melasma: This darkened skin discolouration typically appears on the sun exposed areas such as cheeks, forehead and nose. Treatment is effective and lighten the discolouration of the skin

Vascular lesions/Blood vessels: Broken capillaries or vascular lesions occur when the small capillaries become dilated; the laser shrinks the capillaries, providing instant cosmetic improvement.

WHAT’S NEW: The Ellipse is the latest generation IPL (intense pulse light). We can treat a variety of conditions safely: Rosacea: A common skin condition that causes red pimples, flushing and broken capillaries (telangiectasia) affecting mainly the cheeks and nose of adults. This irritating condition, often causing uncomfortable face flushing and can be safely treated with almost no down time and requiring approx 1-4 treatments at one month apart. The Ellipse laser can treat several skin types. Sun damage: Skin aging is accelerated by sun exposure. For the removal of age spots, uneven pigmentation and diffuse redness, the Ellipse laser is the latest technology available. Ellipse treatment of sun damaged skin help you keep a younger and fresher look with a full-face treatment taking less than 20 minutes. Again, most skin types can be treated. Acne: A common skin disease of teenagers, often affecting the face, neck, chest, shoulders and back, associated with overproduction of sebum (oily substance). Ellipse treatment is effective by slowing down the production of the sebum, with a typical course of therapy being four treatments at three weeks apart. Vascular lesions: These lesions can include port wine stains, broken capillaries, diffuse redness, haemangiomas and cherry angiomas. They can occur in many sizes and shapes and can be found all over the body. Most skin types are easily treated with the Ellipse being set at the correct energy output for your individual complexion.

All treatments are tailored to the individual and are safe, effective and affordable! Dandenong Dermatology Centre offers your first assessment consultation for free! To arrange an appointment just call 9791 3455.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Recycle your skills By CASEY NEILL THE future is all about flexibility, businesses at the SEBN Christmas Industry Breakfast have been told. “I want you to think of yourselves as a recyclable bottle,” global business futurist Morris Miselowski said at Sandown Racecourse in Springvale on Thursday 3 December. The morning’s 190 guests donated cash to buy Christmas gifts for those less fortunate, to be distributed through agencies including Dandenong Community Aid and Advice Bureau. The generosity continued when Simone Hackett from State Schools Relief Fund (SSRF) spoke about how money from the Take a Swing for Charity golf day had supported struggling students. Golfers raised more than $44,000 at the SEBN event in February, which helped SSRF to dress 679 students at 17 schools within Greater Dandenong in $95,977 worth of clothing this year. SSRF will also be the recipient of next year’s golf day proceeds, which are scheduled for Monday 22 February at Sandhurst Golf Club. Mr Miselowski told breakfast guests that some of today’s most successful companies had no assets - driver service Uber owns no cars, accommodation service

Martin Miselowski speaks to SEBN breakfast guests. 148002 Airbnb owns no hotels. He expects this trend towards “using rather than owning” to continue. Tomorrow’s jobs will include tasks not yet imagined. Mr Miselowski said everyone would be employing a transhumanist designer within 10 years a human resources role assigning tasks to humans and robots. Other roles of the future will include vertical farming and genome specialists, 3D prosthetic

engineers and machine linguists. Accountants and auditors, retail sales assistants and library technicians are among those on the way out, Mr Miselowski said. He said employing many people in one space from 9am to 5pm weekdays would become anachronistic, and businesses would instead have a small team they could add to when necessary. Wearable devices will continue to increase in popularity, he said, to the point where in 10 years everybody would be wear-

ing nine devices at any given time. “The world is increasingly based on data,” he said. Mr Miselowski said more inanimate objects would be hooked up to interact with and understand humans. Homes will recognise that their owners are about to arrive and open the garage door, turn on lights and more. “And next year will be a huge growth year for drones across the planet,” Mr Miselowski said. But don’t worry: “This is not robots taking over the world.” “There will still be humans at every touch point. “At the core we are still humans. We still have need for all the products and services in this room.” He said today’s tsunami of new technology would calm down in 10 to 20 years. “We’re seeing so much that is so different,” he said. Autonomous cars could be a matter of years from dominating roads, dramatically reducing - if not eliminating - road deaths. Mr Miselowski said they’d also remove the need for driver’s licences and so improve transport accessibility for the disabled, elderly and young. The more efficient mechanised driving would also be better for environment, he said, and less stressful for commuters.

Engineers look to build new sub By CASEY NEILL A DANDENONG South casting company could play a key role in creating Australia’s newest submarines. AW Bell was among select businesses to meet with German submarine manufacturer ThyssenKrupp during a recent Australian roadshow with potential suppliers. ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems Australia (TKMSA) was preparing a bid to supply new submarines to the Royal Australian Navy through the $50 billion SEA 1000 Future Submarine Program. AW Bell CEO Sam Bell said the company had evolved since its establishment in the early 1950s. “Foreseeing ongoing decline in automotive work, in the ’80s we embarked on an innovation program to stay ahead of such industry change,” he said. This developed new casting processes, including aluminium billet equivalent (ABE), which attracted work from sectors such as defence. “The high strength and density of parts made via ABE allowed sophisticated

geometries than could not, normally, be machined from a bar of metal,” Mr Bell said. “With this technology we were able to secure supply contracts for five components for the F35 joint strike fighters and numerous other support components for that program. “These technology improvements also allowed AW Bell to secure contracts for some 20 components used in ongoing remediation of Collins class submarines.” TKMSA chairman John White said the company was keen to meet the AW Bell team given this track record. “As the most experienced designer and builder of conventional submarines, we have been very impressed with the calibre and track record of AW Bell and other potential suppliers we’ve met recently,” he said. “We base this evaluation on delivering more than 160 submarines across 20 different navies.” Final bids for the project were submitted on 30 November and it is anticipated that the Federal Government will make further announcements early next year.

JOHN Laughton never had to pull a trigger or launch a missile but for 219 days he sat in readiness on board a Naval ship on the South Korean coast line. Now at 87 years of age the former peacekeeper with the Royal Australian Navy was recognised for the third time by the South Korean government. The Naval Association of Australia’s Dandenong branch secretary said the Ambassador for Peace Medal, which was awarded as an expression of appreciation from the South Korean people, was “particularly

special to him”. “The Korean Government treats us spectacularly well,” John said. “I was invited as a guest of honour a few years ago and it was the first time I had been back to Korea since I was 24 years old and working as a radio electrician with the Navy. “People on the street would come up to me and shake my hand and say ‘thank you’ and I’ve been to many countries and I’ve never been treated as well as I was in Korea.” He was among 10 other Australian peacekeepers who were

awarded the medal on Tuesday 24 November. “I didn’t realise I was going to get a medal. It was a big surprise for me but such a great honour,” he said. John now holds three medals very close to his heart. “I’ve got three, one is a 60th anniversary of the Korean War and the other was a thankyou medal from the government that represents all the nations that fought in Korea. It’s quite unique,” he said. “I’ve scanned my medals and want to frame them and put them up on the wall.”

Church plans to play it up CHRISTMAS cheer in the form of live entertainment is coming again to the City of Casey. The Narre Warren Baptist Church is once again putting on its annual Christmas performance, following on from last year’s successful production of Tom’s Diner.

This year’s Christmas show will feature university students Josh Cameron and Gabrielle Dalton, who will play lead roles. “You will be thoroughly entertained by the hilarious script, talented acting, fantastic sets, lively dance, big musical num-

bers, a few of your favourite carols and a powerful Christmas message,” Senior Pastor Lee Kohler said. The show will run from 10 to 13 December, and for more information contact 9796 8737, or visit www.nwbc.net.au

Set to hit some high notes JAZZ is returning to Springvale Botanical Cemetery this summer. The Cafe Vita will host the musical events from 1pm to 4pm on selected Sundays. A choir will perform a blend of Christmas carols and contemporary favourites on Sunday 20 December. New Orleans Swamp Dogs will perform on Sundays 27

December, 31 January and 28 February. “We are providing our community members with new and interesting events to encourage them to enjoy the facilities and surrounds of Springvale Botanical Cemetery,” Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust CEO Jane Grover said. “Over the summer months, jazz will be a regular event here

and we are looking to expand our offerings next year with moonlight screenings of classic Hollywood and Australian movies. “The expansive gardens of this cemetery are a delight and a significant community asset.” Springvale Botanical Cemetery is at 600 Princes Highway, Springvale, and can be contacted on 8558 8278.

Back at the front By JARROD POTTER AFTER many laps around Australia on the WNBL circuit, Dandenong point-guard Amelia Todhunter has finally found her niche back at the place she belongs. Todhunter, 27, has only returned to the Rangers’ WNBL roster this season but has also flourished since inheriting the Rangers’ starting pointguard job after a following knee injury sidelined Aimie Clydesdale. “It’s been hard with Aimie gone, but it’s definitely given me an opportunity to step up and I think it’s going really well,” Todhunter said. “Rissa (coach Larissa Anderson) has a lot of confidence in me and that’s a major key to my success having the coach that backs me as the point guard.” In stark contrast to her own trying SEABL season - where she spent 13 weeks on the sidelines with knee issues of her own - she’s taken that form into the WNBL season and has enjoyed the ramped up court-time. After finishing winter with her fourth SEABL championship and second Barbara Barton Medal as SEABL grand final MVP, Todhunter has led the guard group with another returning Ranger Steph Cumming in a familiar back-court combo that’s helped the side push on to a 5-4 record. “It’s so good to be injury-free and be strong enough out there and get my court time and can prove to everyone what I can really do,” Todhunter said. “We had a bit of a scare last week - my knee blew up and was a bit tender and sore - so I was freaking out a bit, Riss was freaking out a bit, but it settled down.” She was pivotal in Dandenong’s upset 85-65 win over highly-placed Sydney Uni at home on Saturday. Todhunter racked up eight points, seven rebounds and a match-high

Injury fails to break his stride By JARROD POTTER

Relishing her expanded role in the Rangers' back-court, Amelia Todhunter has been in sensational form so Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS far this WNBL season. 146618 seven assists as part of a roster-wide demolition, highlighting what happens when the Rangers are underestimated. “We knew they were a team we really wanted to beat, especially at our home court and I think we were really keen to get the win as we lost the two weeks before,” Todhunter said. “That win against Sydney showed that when we’re on the same page we are unstoppable, especially when defence is our focus. “I was pretty surprised when I found out my assists - that I nearly got a triple double - that’s the first I’d ever get in WNBL - It was awesome and I guess the girls just got open and knocked the shots down.”

While she journeyed throughout the league in recent seasons - starting at Dandenong before heading to Bulleen, West Coast then onto the newly named Melbourne - Todhunter admitted it was nice to be finally back where it all began and reunite with long-time SEABL coach Larissa Anderson at Dandenong. “I love being back - Dandenong has always been my home, I started there when I was 18 and love being back and having Riss as a coach,” Todhunter said. “The group of girls is just awesome - we get along really well and it’s like home to me - just love it.” Todhunter will feature in her 150th WNBL clash when the Rangers head

across to Adelaide on Sunday and Dandenong coach Larissa Anderson believed Todhunter stepping up this season has been invaluable. “I am so proud of Meels (Todhunter),” Anderson said. “I think she’s a very undervalued defender and has embraced the role and whoever she has had to defend and has done a fantastic job. “There have been some games where things haven’t gone her way, but I think she’s embraced the role with both hands and is doing a great job.” Dandenong’s weekend action tips off Friday night as the Rangers battle the Perth Lynx at home from 7.30pm.

Dolphins dive into training with a passion By JARROD POTTER THERE is no time to take in the beach views down at Frankston Park for a group of up-and-coming south-east footballers. The Dandenong Stingrays Youth Girls Academy (YGA) has been using the Dolphins’ VFL ground as its base of operations throughout the first phase of the 2015-16 pre-season and will get to run around there for a preseason match-up on Sunday. The girls are keen to play against the rest of the YGAs - starting Sunday 13 December - when the Stingrays battle Calder Cannons from 10.30am following a frenetic first month of pre-season training. Stingrays coach Scott Gowans thinks the training has gone well so far as the new-look line-up has taken to the tough conditions with aplomb. “To their credit, they’re (the Stingrays) are doing really well,” Gowans said. “We have 25 girls who I’ve never seen before in this program but it’s going great. “The conditions have been hard it’s windy and hot - but they’re working really well and it’s an impressive group.” Gowans is hopeful the side will

Dandenong Stingrays' Youth Girls team has been working hard at Frankston Oval ahead of a practice match there on Sunday. also play a few official matches on Frankston Oval because he wants to let his charges loose on one of the better fields in the south-east. “I love it - it’s a beautiful oval, beautiful surrounding and creates that environment for coaches, players and families to enjoy,” Gowans said.

Players from south-east juniors clubs - Beaconsfield, Cranbourne, Lyndhurst and Officer among others - have integrated with Frankston and Mornington-Peninsula players to form the best squad feasible ahead of a big year for women’s football. The competition has been ex-

panded on account of the looming 2017 deadline for the AFL Women’s competition and Dandenong is keen to improve rapidly in the meantime. The Dandenong Stingrays’ homeand-away fixture will commence early next year with matches likely to be slated for February and March.

BRAVERY almost cost Reece Piper the ability to walk, but the courage to get past his accident ensured he wouldn’t be lost to football forever. While 2015 started off amazingly for the young midfielder - earning his Berwick senior debut in round one - the rest of the year quickly became a battle to get back on the field after a harrowing TAC Cup incident. In his Dandenong Stingrays debut, Piper, 16, from Berwick, remembers his four minutes of elite football vividly. It was cut extremely short in the first term as the Stingray slammed head-first into the Shepley Oval fence from an attempted spoil on the grandstand wing. While the initial diagnosis was grim with limited movement leading doctors to think he might be paralysed - Piper escaped the incident with torn back ligaments instead of spinal fractures or worse. “I didn’t think I would be playing football again when I was hospital,” Piper said. “Just coming back and seeing where it happened and being to training with the boys, things like that just motivate you, basically. But throughout his rehabilitation - including a month off work and more than two months before he could run again - he knew he wanted to get back out to Shepley Oval. Last week Piper fulfilled the promise he made to himself as he returned to the training track with the Stingrays. He was thrilled just to be out there after his near-brush with what could’ve been a forced retirement as he looks towards the 2016 TAC Cup season. “Pretty excited, pretty keen to get back - it was a terrible incident coming into the fence but just to get back out there again with the boys is great,” Piper said. “Been hitting the gym a bit - been there for over a month and a half - getting in there and strengthening the back up. “I’ve now got a bigger mindset on what to do - rehab and those kinds of things - and just how much you’ve got to do and push yourself to get back into footy.” While most people dread pre-season training, the summer run-around means Piper is one step closer to returning to the Stingrays’ line-up for his top-age draft year and a hopeful round one return. “Going through it now, feeling that I’m feeling much better now,” Piper said. “There’s this excitement - just pushing to be out there again and most of all just getting back into it. “I need to get my fitness up to peak, work on my skills and mingling with the new boys who are training with us. “Definitely just want to play round one.” Piper said he was grateful top his family, friends and the Stingrays who stuck with him.

Rangers might be giants By JARROD POTTER WNBL - ROUND 9 REVIEW SLAYING another WNBL powerhouse, Dandenong affirmed its status as a genuine championship contender with a 65-63 win over Perth Lynx. While it was easy going at first for the Rangers - having extended and held a 10-point lead throughout the match - it came down to the wire as Perth almost snatched victory on the last shot of the game. A dying-seconds steal from Amelia Todhunter (four points, eight rebounds) ricocheted off her legs as she charged back up court, giving the ball back to Perth with seven seconds left. The in-bound went to three-point dynamo Sami Whitcomb (10 points) - who was corralled to the top of the key by Alison Downie (seven points) and despite putting the step-back shot up, it bounced off the rim to give Dandenong its second top-of-the-ladder scalp in as many weeks. Having lost twice to the Lynx this year, both over in Western Australia, the Rangers welcomed the chance to amend prior mistakes. It started much better than it ended for the Rangers as the first half was dominated by Jacinta Kennedy (12 points, seven rebounds) - who picked up where she left off last week against Sydney Uni. Winding back the clock, the 33-year-old centre gave a lesson to her younger counterparts as Natalie Burton (10 points) and Louella Tomlinson (six points) were well contained. Former Ranger Carley Mijovic (12 points) was the only one of the taller Lynx brigade to really shine as she proved a handful inside the key or at the top of it nailing threes - a staggering effort for a 21-year-old 196cm power forward. Dandenong’s other stand-outs were week-in, week-out warriors Steph Cumming (15 points), Sara Blicavs (15 points) and Downie - with the trio blanketing any offensive outlay from the Lynx. While the shooting work from neither side was particularly impressive, Dandenong coach Larissa Anderson was thrilled with the defensive effort to hold another strong side to a sub-70 total. “It really shouldn’t have come down to that,” Anderson said. “We gave up some poor options on offence and didn’t execute. “Looked a little bit ratty, but to keep a team like that to 63 points - we kept Sydney to 65 last

Boom crash Cobras By JARROD POTTER DDCA TURF 1 - ROUND 5 REVIEW (Day 2) CRAIG Slocombe might look a bit like a beardless Santa, but this week the Springvale South skipper was on the receiving end of the gifts as he was given an outright victory to push the Bloods to the top of the DDCA Turf 1 ladder. SPRINGVALE SOUTH v NORTH DANDENONG After giving away the first pile of points last week, North Dandenong (129 and 86) fell away once again to concede an outright defeat to Springvale South (2/137dec and 1/80). The Bloods’ maelstrom only took 39 overs as the home side vanquished the Northerners easily. Resistance was sporadic at best with Malinga Bandara (3/28) cashing in for another three-scalp haul as part of Springvale South’s shared efforts. Minute figures went in the ledger for Slocombe (2/1), Jarrod Armitage (2/17) and Tim Ford (2/18) with none of the Bloods’ bowlers giving an inch. After last ditch efforts from Matin Sultani (16), the outright target was revealed and it was as negligible as the visitors’ batting. Nathan King (43no) was sent into

would say about us, then we lose another player and someone else gets hurts and re-jiggle it again,” Anderson said. “All the girls deserve a pat on the back for how hard they’re working they’re really pushing each other ... for us we just want to be consistent and the last two weeks at least have been consistent.” The win leaves Dandenong knocking on the

McCartney belted a few fours and a whopping six around Ben Kavanagh Reserve, but once the duo got set the potentially matchwinning partnership was broken by seaming all-rounder Jakob Woinarski (4/12). The Bloodhounds’ 15-year-old sensation pierced McCartney’s defences soon after his half century and followed up with Bracey a few runs later to leave the Western visitors in shambles.

Dandy tiny triumph By JARROD POTTER VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET - ROUND 10 (Twenty20) MEAGRE rations proved enough for Dandenong (8/92) to get by against Geelong (5/87). After Tom Donnell (21) and Brett Forsyth (14) got the side away, a familiar affliction set into the Panthers’ attack. Forsyth had an early chance dropped in the deep but couldn’t cash in afterwards as the small boundaries at Shepley Oval seemed fortified against Dandenong’s best efforts. From set and ready to fire at 0/42, to scrambling to reconsolidate at 4/49, the old ways began to creep back in. It took a stand up innings from Tanner Stanton (21) to correct the sinking innings and he eventually found help down the order via first grade debutant Peter Cassidy (10no) who pushed the tally to 8/92 at the completion. But if Dandenong’s innings was chaotic, the Geelong was se-

date ... practically comatose in fact. Hayden Butterworth (39) went at a Twenty20 snail’s pace - striking at 75 - as he and Josh McDonald (25) cantered through the opening phase of the clash. A couple of clutch wickets when Geelong was ready to launch proved devastating as Brent Fairbanks (2/6) sent McDonald back to the sheds via a run out. Cassidy (1/13) chipped in for his first wicket before Fairbanks struck again to leave Geelong in disarray. Butterworth’s glacially-paced innings drew to an end via Fairbanks as well as the visitors had no more answers to Dandy’s line and length. The win keeps Dandenong above the fold - sitting eighth in Victorian Premier Cricket heading into the Christmas break. Dandenong faced Melbourne away on Sunday after the Journal went to print and will return to the whites on Saturday when facing Camberwell.

Wild Rain millions ready By ROY ASPINALL

Wild Rain, left, charged to the post to claim the Listed marquee - the City of Greater Dandenong Stakes. “I’ve got a couple of kids who love them and do everything with them, and they’re very much a part of the family.” Christie graciously credited prominent owner Phil Sly for backing her with the six-year-old Fastnet Rock gelding, who was having his eighth start for her small stable having previously been

She wanted to thank her sports teacher Mr Femino and her parents for their support.

WILD RAIN, winner of Saturday’s $120,000 Listed City of Greater Dandenong Stakes (1000 metres), on the Sandown Hillside track, will head to the Gold Coast next month for the $10 million Magic Millions race day. The four-year-old mare, trained at Flemington by Mark Kavanagh has an imposing record over the 1000 metres with three wins and two placings from seven tries at the trip. Saturday was her second Listed win having also won the Lightning Stakes at Morphettville in Adelaide in July and has finished second twice at recent outings. The win brought minor relief for Mark Kavanagh who has been dealing with ongoing Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board hearing of charges relating to elevated cobalt levels since last Monday, alongside fellow trainer Danny O’Brien. Mark’s son and assistant trainer Levi Kavanagh said his parents had more reasons than most to let their hair down, with Mark’s wife and Levi’s mum Isobel a part-owner. “Yeah I think she’ll be pretty happy, she might even take Dad out to dinner tonight,” Levi said post-race. Winning jockey Stephen Baster had prime vantage point of the four-year old’s potential as Wild Rain flew past the post. “She’s very fast,” Baster said of Wild Rain, “I said to Levi, ’We might sit off them today’, but she was going too fast, she basically just towed me around. Credit to Levi and Mark,” “Her record speaks for itself - she’s very consistent, just too speedy for them today.” Wild Rain now has six wins and four placings from 15 starts. Saturday marked an important moment in the career of Cranbourne trainer, Trudi Christie, when Electric Fusion won the $90,000 Yarraman Village Plate (1600 metres). It marked the first city winner for the mother of two. “I’ve only got a small team of horses, but they’re like family,” she said.

PLATE Berwick Mazda’s 2015

By ALISTAIR KENNEDY BACK in the 1960s and ‘70s the competition in the Australian family car market was dominated by the so-called Big Three. Always given in the order ‘Holden, Falcon and Valiant’, the big six-cylinder and V8 cars dominated the local market and put on a right royal battle. Chrysler Valiant fell by the wayside in 1980 when the company was taken over by Mitsubishi, leaving the field to the other two. Now the position has been reversed with the imminent demise of the Falcon and Commodore leaving a big Chrysler by itself in the affordable large sedan segment. That car is the Chrysler 300C which has been on sale here 2005 and although it’s never been a big seller, everything else about it is big and it is certainly one of the most recognisable cars on the road. The generation-two model, launched in 2012, was given a mid-life upgrade in 2015 with changes including a new honeycomb infill with the Chrysler wing badge in the centre, rather than at the top of the grille. There are also new LED foglamps and daytime running

Changes to the rear include a new fascia design and LED taillights. Previously available with either sedan or wagon bodies and with a diesel engine, the latest 300 range only comes with a sedan body and petrol engines. The four variants are 300C, 300C Luxury, 300 SRT Core and 300 SRT. As the name suggests, the 300 SRT (for Sports & Racing

Technology) is the high performance version of the car and we’ve just spent a thoroughly enjoyable week behind its wheel. While the Chrysler 300C is the entry-level model at $49,000 and the 300C Luxury ($54,000) the higher-specced one, the SRT variants work the other way around with the 300 SRT ($69,000) being the standard model and the appropriately-named 300 SRT Core cutting back on features but also on price ($59,000).
