His daughter Barbara, who now lives in a Pakenham retirement village, said her dad never talked about the war and described him as a “very quiet man, very reserved”. After recovering his health, Harry returned to his job at the Journal and at age 39 he married Doveton girl Elsie Grahame, who was just 20. They had two children, Murray, now deceased, and Barbara. Harry volunteered with the Dandenong Fire Brigade for 37 years. The family lived at the Dandenong Fire Station for many years as a stipend for Harry’s role as station master. When he died in 1963 staff lined up outside the old Scott Street office as Harold’s casket was driven past on the back of a fire truck. Another outstanding local story was that of the baker boys – eight young

men employed by local Narre Warren baker Donald Hartley Rowe who all enlisted to fight in the Great War. A November 1915 edition of the Berwick Star News listed them as Harry McGuire, Alf Rooney, Harold Johnstone, Jack Lyons, Fred Lewis, Vic Chitts, Reg Currie and Geo Forrester. Then there were the Kent brothers, two Narre Warren siblings whose lives were both claimed in the war. The first of the siblings to perish in battle was Alfred Kent, killed in action on 5 May 1916, four weeks after the lance-corporal had sailed from Alexandria to Marseilles. He was 41. Alfred’s younger brother, Norman, died from a gunshot wound on 12 April and died a day later from his injuries. 2015 was a year to remember their sacrifice and service. Lest we forget.

THE Journal News’s people of the year are long dead, but age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. In April 2015, on the eve of the Anzac Centenary, the News paid tribute to the local men and women who served in Australia’s defining battle of World War I. Many of them never returned to their homes in Endeavour Hills, Hallam, Doveton and Dandenong. One who did live to tell the tale was Harold Tulloch who was a 24 year old compositor at the Dandenong Journal when he signed on for war. Harold’s story featured in April’s special edition marking the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings and also in the bumper August edition of the Dandenong Journal, the News’s sister paper, marking that publication’s 150th anniversary. While many other lads from the Greater Dandenong area fought on far off shores, it was Harold’s voice which spoke loudest during research for the Gallipoli edition, not muffled by the intervening century thanks to the simple yet beautifully observed letters the sergeant dispatched to his work mates back in Australia. Writing in June 1915, the then Corporal Tulloch described his boat being pelted with shrapnel as it was towed towards the peninsula’s fatal shore on 25 April. “We kept the boat till it grounded, then sprung ashore, or rather into water up to our waists, holding our rifles well out of the water and waded ashore,” he wrote. “Just as we got ashore shrapnel whistled over the boat following us, causing about a dozen casualties.” Harry survived the war. In September 1915 he was transferred to Malta with dysentery and

Son's mercy plea for government to help By LACHLAN MOORHEAD AN ENDEAVOUR Hills man will turn to the Australian Government for help after his 81-year-old Ahmadi Muslim father was imprisoned in Pakistan last month. Khalid Ahmad’s father, Abdul Shakoor, who owns a bookshop in Pakistan where the Ahmadi faith is outlawed, made international headlines when he was jailed for eight years in December for selling books deemed hurtful or hateful to another religious group’s beliefs. The 81-year-old, who has run the book store in Rabwah since 1988, was charged under a set of blasphemy laws which specifically target Ahmadi Muslims, according to the Huffington Post. Seeking help to save his father, Khalid reached out to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Victoria, based in Langwarrin, and is calling on the Federal Government to use any influence it can. “The Australian Government can put political stress on the Pakistani government to abolish this law which doesn’t protect us,” Khalid said. “We have been persecuted for a long, long time.” In 1974 the Pakistani Government adopted a law declaring Ahmadis to be non-Muslims and the country is reported as the only Muslim country that has used its constitution to persecute a specific group. Khalid, who speaks to his parents on the phone several times a day, was “shattered” when his mum told him the book store had been raided and his father arrested. “I rang them and talked to my dad for a few minutes but a few hours later I got a call from my mum and she told

Abdul Shakoor, 81, has been imprisoned. me he’d been arrested and we don’t know where they’ve taken him,” he said. “I was completely shattered to hear about this.” Holt MP Anthony Byrne has previously praised the efforts of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association and highlighted the faith’s persecution around the world in a speech to Federal Parliament. In 2014 Star News reported on Alam Mahmood Butt from Narre Warren whose younger brother was shot dead by unknown assailants in Kamra, Pakistan, in what was believed to be another targetted attack on someone fro m the minority Ahmadi faith. Prior to this, the News world, with an estimated 2 to 5 million living in the country.

“There was a clear promise before the election to put rail lines underground at level crossing sites,” Mr Davis said. “The negative visual and sound impacts will also result in falling property values in the vicinity of the elevated rail line.” But a spokesperson for Minister for Public Transport, Jacinta Allan, said the sky rail was just one option for Melbourne’s busiest train line. “We promised to remove every level crossing between Dandenong and Caulfield and we are still considering the best way to do that,“ they said. While Mr Davis has expressed his con-

World’s

cerns about how a sky rail could damage small businesses and retailers in the immediate area, RACV Public Policy General Manager, Brian Negus supports the State Government’s decision to “explore all options”. Mr Negus said while most of Melbourne’s recent rail grade separations had been rail-under-road, it should not be assumed that this was the only way, or the best way of removing level crossings. “Elevated rail is used successfully around the world and the concept of a socalled ‘sky train’ to replace level crossings could be feasible at a number of locations in Melbourne,” Mr Negus said.

DANDENONG Plaza will soon have a new owner. GPT Group has agreed to sell the shopping centre to Sydneybased Armada Funds Management for $197 million, subject to Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval. Settlement is expected on 29 February. JLL’s retail investments head Simon Rooney negotiated the transaction and said it would be the fourth largest in the retail sector for 2015 and the second largest individual shopping centre sold for the year.

PLANS to transform parts of the Cranbourne-Pakenham rail line into an elevated “sky rail” have been submitted to the State Government a part of their promise to remove 50 level crossings across Victoria by 2022. Reports have outlined the ‘secret’ plans for a raised rail, two to four storeys above street level and running for several kilometres. Shadow Minister for Planning David Davis has hit out at the idea, labelling it a “cheaper option” compared to underground lines and one that would “split communities in half”.

Moved in and cleaned out By GEORGIA WESTGARTH A newly-married couple setting up home together had wedding presents stolen in a spate of thefts targeting people moving home. Police said the newly-weds, who had just returned from their honeymoon, were one of two Casey families to be hit while they were in the process of moving into their new homes. Detective Senior Constable Mi-

chelle Chiang from the Narre Warren police said: “People moving houses are easy targets for burglaries, because everything’s boxed up ready to go.” Thieves stole several boxes from the couple’s home in Cradle Avenue, Clyde, between 4pm and 6pm on Saturday 9 January. “It was a two-hour turnaround from going to get the next load and they had just returned from their honeymoon

that morning – it was all brand new stuff and wedding presents,” Sen Const Chiang said. The previous night a Caucasian male driving a black Commodore was seen leaving the address in Endeavour Hills around the time of the burglary at midnight on Friday 8 January. Sen Const Chiang said “pretty much everything was stolen” from the Power Street home.

“A BBQ, TV, washing machine and some boxes.” The raider forced their way in to the property through a rear timber window and Sen Const Chiang urged anyone moving in or out of the area to be vigilant. “It’s a small trend occurring in Casey and it’s something people who are moving house need to be wary of,” she said. “If you’re moving house keep ga-

rage doors locked and be vigilant at both addresses and watch who is driving past and who’s observing you. “Try and organise someone to stay at the house with the boxes while the other person does the picking and dropping off because it’s easy to forget boxes when your moving dozens of them and often people don’t realise they are missing until they need it.” She appealed for witnesses to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Booked in for Serbian WHO says kids can’t learn the Serbian alphabet? Last month children from a Serbian playgroup in Hallam were among the first kids to be given a new book which teaches the Serbian alphabet. Mum Irena Chia, who came to Australia from Serbia when she was just seven, wrote the book after struggling to teach her young daughter the basics of the Serbian language. She donated copies of the book, titled Fun With Serbian Letters, to Hallam Gardens Children’s Centre in December, which runs a Serbian playgroup. “Christmas is my favourite time of year because it’s a time for giving, for remembering those less fortunate than us and, really, it’s a time when we all become kids once again and believe,” she said. “And so in light of this spirit I wanted to give a gift to our children that wasn’t merely a book but rather an opportunity for the parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles to sit down with their kids, look through the book and bond whilst sharing their own personal tales about Serbia’s culture and heritage. “For me that’s the greatest gift I could

possibly give to someone – a platform for them to connect with their nearest and dearest in the ever busy world we all live in.” Fun With Serbian Letters is an alphabetical exploration of all things Serbian the places, the people, and the traditions. In the book, printed by Amazon, each letter has a Serbian twist, with both alphabets included, while each page also has an English translation. In addition there are short poems which have been translated into English as well. “I wrote this book because I found there was much need for it in Australia. “When my daughter was old enough to start learning the Serbian alphabet I struggled with finding reading material that would be easy to follow and at the same time stimulating,” Irena said. “This book not only teaches the youngsters that are born and raised here our alphabet but simultaneously our culture.” The Serbian playgroup at the Hallam Gardens Children’s Centre where kids aged up to five listen to Serbian stories and rhymes and participate in other fun activities. For more information on Irena’s book, visit www.funwithserbianletters.com.

The children at Hallam Gardens Children’s Centre were excited when Irena, centre, delivered her new Serbian alphabet book.

NEWSMAKERS

A lens on violence

QUOTES OF THE YEAR “We were getting two to three a day and it’s temporarily slowed things down. Now we are lucky if we get one or two a week.”

CAN violent men change? The question lingered in viewers’ minds long after they finished watching the documentary Call Me Dad. The documentary, which aired in November on the ABC to coincide with the White Ribbon initiative, focused on the inner workings of a men’s behavioural change group in Narre Warren. Over 16 weeks in 2014, independent film-maker Sophie Wiesner 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.

– Detective Senior Sergeant Rod Maroney, discussing the arrest of eight or nine people in relation to car thefts in Casey.

“When the guys had setbacks, it felt like a setback for not just the individuals but for our crew as well.” – Director Sophie Wiesner speaks about making her documentary Call Me Dad.

“I always think that’s a problem when you’ve got a running commentary about our community without necessarily taking into account the voices of that community.”

Thieves break in and drive off EVERY week there seemed to be another home invasion in Casey in 2015. Star News reported extensively on the spate of home burglaries in the municipality over many months in which thieves broke into houses, often through unlocked doors, stole keys and used them to make off with the occupant’s car. In December it was reported how police arrested several young members of the so-called Apex Gang who had broken into homes to

But Detective Senior Sergeant Moroney said the crime spate extended wider than just the Apex Gang members who were typically aged between 15-25.

Perverted priesthood outed MOLESTING children, wielding a gun and stealing school funds – no allegation was strong enough to dislodge parish priest Father Peter Searson from Doveton’s Holy Family Parish and school for 13 years. Former student Julie Stewart told a Royal Commission into

institutional responses to child sexual abuse on 25 November 2015 that she was preyed on by Father Searson in the privacy of the Catholic confession box soon after he arrived in 1984. Searson was the last of a string of four accused paedophile priests overseeing the

Doveton parish from 1972 to 1997. During 12 months, Searson’s indecency progressed from coercing her to sit on his knee, requesting her to kiss his lips and touching her genitals, Ms Stewart told the hearing at the County Court in Melbourne.

Suicide fears Casey Cardinia Foundation Ltd Board Director Position - Expressions of Interest

A CORONER in August urged the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) to set up a local government framework for suicide prevention following the cluster of youth suicides in Casey and Cardinia in 2011 and 2012. Coroner Audrey Jamieson’s findings into the spate of youth suicides in Melbourne’s southeast were formally released last

year at an official Department of Health and Human Services briefing in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. The findings came after the Coroners Prevention Unit (CPU) studied suspected suicide cases and hospitalisation for self-harm among residents of the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire, aged 24 and under, for the period 2007 to 2013.

ALONE without family, friends or a home, 30-year-old Afghan asylum seeker Khodayar Amini burnt himself to death in a Dandenong park. Some thought he may have been living in a car during his last weeks of his life. Others think he may not have had a car to live in, but in his last despairing days was hiding in scrub - much like where his blazing remains were found by firefighters in Robert Booth Reserve. The blackened mulch became a makeshift shrine, its charred edges lined by artfully-placed flowers. Many in the region’s vast Hazara community did not know of Mr Amini until after he selfimmolated on a video call to Western Australian refugee activists on Sunday 18 October. There were no family or friends to greet Mr Amini when he arrived in Dandenong two months before his death. Most of his family had been killed by the Taliban and two of his friends had committed suicide in a Western Australia detention centre where he had also been locked up for three years.

2015 – YEAR THAT WAS QUOTES OF THE YEAR “While policing has always been difficult and dangerous work, the change we have since the terror threat was raised is now police are not just at risk in the course of their duties... they are being targeted in the course of their duties.”

NEWSMAKERS

Ex-PM’s terror briefing FORMER Prime Minister Tony Abbott held closed terror discussions with police officers across the south-east at Endeavour Hills Police Station last June - the site of Australia’s first Islamic State (IS) inspired terror attack. Mr Abbott, together with members of the Joint CounterTerrorism Unit, local police, La Trobe MP Jason Wood and Holt MP Anthony Byrne, spoke about local anti-terror projects active across the south-east. The briefing, held at Endeavour Hills Police Station where two counterterrorism officers were stabbed by extremist 18-year-old Numan Haider in September 2014, outlined the growing dangers faced by

“It’s great to have the recognition of people who support paramedics on the frontline. Often they are the quiet achievers.” – Ralph Casey, a paramedic from Endeavour Hills, spoke to Star News after being awarded an Australia Day medal.

police in the current terror climate. The visit came as three teenage men were charged after a 200-strong joint state and federal police counter-terrorism team executed seven search warrants in Narre Warren, Hampton Park, Hallam and Eumemmerring just before Anzac Day as part of Operation Rising.

Speaking up about teens addicted to ice IN MARCH a former drug dealer and addict who now teaches kids how to kick their own drug habits told Star News that there were children as young as 13 using ice in Casey. Glenn Munso, creator of the Youth YOU Program in Hallam, said the drug problem was worse than it had ever been. Glenn, a 28-year-old personal trainer who runs the Essential Health and Fitness gym in Hallam, started the Youth YOU program in

2014 to help and guide drug-addicted and disenchanted youths aged from 13 to 24. He used to be one of those kids. In 2008 Glenn was arrested for selling marijuana and assaulting a police officer. He received a one-month jail sentence and ultimately served an 18-month intensive corrections order. It was a turning point that saw him give up drugs.

DISCOUNT CHEMIST DEFIES PANADOL OSTEO PRICE HIKE The owners, management and staff of Pharmacy 4 Less Parkmore would like to convey our warmest wishes to all Dandenong Journal readers for the New Year. In an apparent attempt to dampen the New Year spirits of concerned Australians, a series of government changes have resulted in Panadol Osteo being removed from the subsidised list due to PBS changes. These changes, which took effect on the 1st of January, 2016 have led to the price rising to as high as $9 per box. To put this price change in perspective, it was previously possible (prior to the PBS changes) to buy two boxes of 96 tablets for $7.50 on a prescription. We, at Pharmacy 4 Less Parkmore, believe this move will most certainly hurt the pockets of our pensioners something which we ind to be unacceptable.

In response to this outrage, Pharmacy 4 Less Parkmore, as part of its commitment to the community and its perpetual strive to offer its customers “More care 4 Less cost”, has agreed to maintain last year’s price for the whole of 2016. This offer applies for current and new loyal customers who previously purchased two boxes for $7.50 prior to the PBS changes. There are certain conditions that must be met to be eligible for this offer, so please come in store and speak to one of our pharmacists today. Pharmacy 4 Less Parkmore is determined to provide its customers and the community with More care 4 Less cost. Please ask in-store to ind out how we can organise free webster packing, free delivery, scripts on ile, and special Panadol Osteo pricing.

WE’RE CERTAINLY DEALING WITH A HOMICIDE HERE...

A DEAD body found sprawled in the a back seat of a burnt-out car in Eumemmerring reserve on Thursday night was left unrecognisable by the flames. Detective Senior Sergeant Stuart Bailey said there was no doubt the “shocking crime” was a murder. It’s understood the owner of the 2011 SV6 red Holden Commodore is a 40-year-old Asian man from Doveton, who is known to police and has a “history of drug involvement”. It is unknown whether the victim was the owner of the car. Emergency services were called to the fire at Olive Road Reserve by witnesses around 11.50pm on Thursday, where the car had been dumped next to a children’s playground and was concealed from Frawley Road by the Jan Bateman Pavilion. Homicide detectives are awaiting results from an autopsy conducted on Friday afternoon after the body was extracted about 9am. “Given the nature of the injuries, we won’t be able to identify him through facial features,” Sen Sgt Bailey said. “The only chances are perhaps his hands haven’t been totally burnt that we may get a fingerprint, but having a look at him, that’s probably unlikely. “I think at this point in time we’re really relying on DNA and dental records to try and identify him.” He said police did not know whether the victim was murdered at the reserve or at another loca-

CATHY-LEA has been training students in performing arts for over 25 years. Many have gone onto careers in dance, music and drama and scores have gained confidence, co-ordination, fitness, friendships and a love of performing arts from their experience at Cathy-Lea. In 2015, students from Cathy-Lea gained entry into full-time dance training at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School, Patrick Studios Australia, Melbourne City Ballet Company and Dance Spectrum. Graduates are also currently training at the Australian Ballet School, Ministry of Dance and Kelly Aykers Studios and performing around the world. Cathy-Lea students performed in Disneyland Hong Kong in April and in August they competed in an international hip-hop competition, finishing in the top 14 in the world in their division. Students from the Elite Training Program won every aggregate award and the overall teachers’ aggregate at the Southern Dance Festival in September.

Revved up for manufacturing MANUFACTURERS celebrated the festive season with an icon of Dandenong and motorsport. South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) held a Christmas cocktail networking evening on Wednesday 16 December at Nissan Motorsport (Nismo) in Braeside. Industry, Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio addressed the crowd. “As manufacturing in Melbourne’s South-East transitions, the skills and advanced industries that have grown here are well placed to apply in new industries to capture emerging opportunities,” she said.

BUSINESS PROFILE

For quality solar don’t got past EuroSolar AS THE earth’s climate continues to change, solar remains one of the few viable technologies to help us avert catastrophe. According to National Geographic, enough sunshine hits earth every hour to power the world’s electricity needs for an entire year. So why should a homeowner or business manager install PV panels? From green job creation to improved public health, there are countless reasons to go solar. But three of the primary advantages are: 1. Monthly savings Solar panels mean immediate util-

ity bill savings. And those savings continue for the next 25 years, which is the average length of most solar panel warranties. However, a well-installed system can easily last 30 to 40 years. 2. Smaller carbon footprint Climate change is a global problem, but sustainability is a local issue and solar panels shrink carbon footprints. 3. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) Customers and investors increasingly prefer doing business with companies that take a firm stand on environmental protection so businesses can attract more clients by highlighting their solar investment in all future marketing campaigns.

Founded in 2007, EuroSolar is one of the oldest PV installation firms in Australia. And with more than 1500 full-time employees and contractors, it is also one of the largest. EuroSolar leverages this extensive experience to develop high quality solar projects that consistently exceed customers’ expectations. And by recruiting and training its dedicated sales, engineering, and installation teams in-house it is able to control every aspect of the solar development process. This means services are rarely outsourced, whether they require a residential installation or large-scale turn-

key solutions for a commercial solar project. However, the benefits of Euro Solar don’t stop there. Over the years it has continuously refined its winning formula to ensure on-time delivery and unparalleled clean energy output. Price is the least important consideration when it comes to PV technology. Buyers want the highest quality components installed by the most experienced professionals. This is the best way to increase the return on solar investment. Phone 1300 387 676 to book a free consultation now.

Solar is one answer to the world’s greenhouse gas problem.

Double celebration By JARROD POTTER WHILE a batsman usually celebrates milestones in centuries rather than acknowledging games played, Dandenong opener Brett Forsyth combined the two over by smashing a century in his 150th first XI match. Since his swift introduction to senior cricket – playing with greats Warren Ayres, Peter Siddle and Darren Pattinson against the likes of Bryce McGain, David Hussey and Jason Arnberger as a 16-yearold – Forsyth has established himself as one of the competition’s peak performers. But it wasn’t the past where Forsyth focused on Saturday as the New Year was about helping Dandenong dispatch Frankston-Peninsula. Cashing in on his first opportunity of the 2016, the Panthers’ powerhouse was sensational as he raised the bat for his 11th century in Victorian Premier Cricket. In tandem with usual opening partner Tom Donnell (70), the duo added 136 for the first wicket as they smashed through even an overly-negative Heat field to set the stage for a massive tally. Forsyth turned one of his many 30s and 40s in 2015/16 into a milestone really worth savouring. With his younger brother Cameron (28) out in the middle alongside him, Forsyth raised the bat for his first century of the season – in his 150th – and set up the Panthers’ comfortable 81-run victory. “Being on holidays I really set myself for when I came back to finally get a 50 and hopefully kick on and get the victory,” Forsyth said. “And also get the bonus point, cause we needed that extra point just to keep us in touch with the final eight and it all worked out and to a good script I suppose.” More importantly for the 27-year-old opener, it was a sensational return to form that he felt was absent through the first part of this season – after too many starts and nothing taken beyond 50. “I think most batsmen go through it when they’re hitting the ball nicely, making 20, 30 or 40, and you probably get frustrated that you’re not influencing the game the way you want to,” Forsyth said. “I always think my strength is to bat deep and influence the game and that was something I was really pleased to have done on Saturday.”

By JARROD POTTER

Brett Forsyth celebrated dual milestones on Saturday - his 150th first grade match as well as a match-winning Picture: JARROD POTTER century. 148762 His tentative 15 on debut doesn’t seem that long ago to Forsyth and in many ways he feels it’s completely surreal to have slowly become one of the experienced men in the side. But in those 10 seasons Forsyth has taken to mentoring the next generation of Dandenong cricketers with the same passion as his mentors did for him. “You look back on all of it quite fondly – the strange thing is you still think you’re 16-17 and one of the youngest players in the team, but after 10 years you realise that’s probably not your place in the side anymore,” Forsyth said. “I was very lucky to have played – especially early on – with so many revered cricketers – Warren Ayres, Darren Dempsey, Peter Siddle, James Pattinson, Darren Pattinson and then that’s without

mentioning a few club legends like Tom Hooper, Tommy Donnell and a few others. “We we’re lucky that there was a strong group that was basically led by Warren Ayres – he put that senior group together with some younger players, so I was pretty lucky to walk in the door to play in that environment – it was pretty hard, very competitive and made me understand what it took to further my game. “There are quite a lot of young guys here now that you have to help them develop and work out their game as quickly as you can.” There have been lean years for Dandenong recently, but Forsyth thinks the club has advanced in the right direction with the influx of youth into the side – including his younger brother Cameron, Tanner

Stanton, Ed Newman and Adam McMaster among others in the lower grades. “The last couple of years have seen a little bit of a progression – we’ve lost a few our our players in Dan Doran and Darren Dempsey, but we’re bringing in the youth as well,” Forsyth said. “We’re probably a six to 10 team and you don’t mind finishing anywhere in there as long as you’re getting young players in there, and we’ve done that in the last couple of years and especially this year. “In the years that you miss out, as long as you take a lot of positives from it – Dandenong has such a strong club and strong culture you know that they’ll be up there the next year if everyone puts in.” Forsyth wanted to pay tribute to former Dandenong CC import Tom Allin, who passed away this week aged 28.

Last minute chance to shine By JARROD POTTER FATE played its part in a late Australian Opals call-up for Dandenong basketball star Sara Blicavs and she’s ready to seize this chance with the Olympic Games just over the horizon. The 190cm Rangers’ swingman was a late call-up to the Opals’ 13-person squad for a South American tour after Tess Madgen had to withdraw with severe ankle bruising. Blicavs, 22, now gets to put her hand up for Olympic selection at a Rio test event this week in Brazil as the Opals face Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil in a frenetic three-day schedule. Blicavs has been in stunning form this WNBL season, averaging 13.4 points and 7.8 rebounds, and once Madgen was ruled out, national coach Brendan Joyce made the call to bring in Blicavs as her replacement. “I’m very excited – I guess it is quite exciting to know I’m the 13th man and that I’m getting thought of and I’m still in the mix,” Blicavs said. “I know I was very disappointed after not being named in the team, but you’ve got to take your opportunities. “Fortunate for me, but unfortunate for

State pick a welcome shock

(Melbourne Boomers guard) Tess Madgen with her ankle, but I’ve just got to take that and, hopefully, can play some minutes. The WNBL goes on break this week with the league’s best and brightest off on international duties and Blicavs – ever the optimist – is keen to hit the court in the national colours... and maybe even some the famous beaches of Rio as well. “The girls get a nice break while I’ll be training and training and playing,” Blicavs said. “Hopefully, I’ll just be lying on the beach for a little bit – soak up some Brazil sun.” Blicavs was sensational across last weekend’s double-header, helping Dandenong defeat Adelaide 79-63 away last Friday night, where she picked up 16 points and eight rebounds, and went even better on last Saturday night, taking 16 points, 11 rebounds in a nail-biting 64-61 win over Sydney Uni. Dandenong will return to the court on Friday 22 January in the battle against the Adelaide Lightning at home before the cross-town showdown on Australia Day eve against Melbourne Boomers at the State Basketball Centre.

EARNING his first state jersey was an unexpected honour for up-and-coming basketballer Jonathan Fennell. Fennell, 11, from Lynbrook, has been at the peak of junior basketball through his time at the Dandenong Rangers – especially in 2014 as his side won a National Junior Classic and a VC grand final. But Fennell is about to discover what he’s truly capable of at the next level as he represents School Sport Victoria (SSV) at the upcoming under-12 basketball championships in South Australia. “I was shocked and very happy,” Fennell said. “They all had talent there and I knew I was a top 25, but I didn’t know I was a top 10. “It’s my first time making the team and I’d like to win the gold medal.” Given the tough defensive tasks for his Rangers’ rep team, Fennell is a versatile swing-man capable of playing a number of spots on court and relishes every chance to get on court and play. “I think I’ve been playing for about six years and I just love the game,” Fennell said. “It’s fun.” This season hasn’t been as easy for Fennell’s Rangers, with a couple of bad defeats at the bigger tournaments so far – with a middle of the pack finish at the National Junior Classic and a similar placing in the Australia Day tournament. “We didn’t do that well in the Classic – we came ninth – and in the Australia Day tournament I think we beat every other team except Melbourne, so we came about fifth in that tournament,” Fennell said. The Lynbrook Primary School student is keeping his basketball dreams simplistic for the moment – hoping to notch state team chances year in, year out as he progresses through the ranks. He wanted to thank his under-12 coach Brad Crole and first rep coach Brody for their support. Fennell and his SSV side will head to the Australia Pacific School Games Basketball Championships in Adelaide from 21-28 November.

Lyndale’s Bloody conflict By JARROD POTTER DDCA TURF 1 - ROUND 8 (Day 1) FIRST versus worst went exactly to the script as Springvale South ripped shreds from Lyndale. LYNDALE v SPRINGVALE SOUTH Setting the scene for another outright victory, Springvale South (3/134) has taken one lot of points against Lyndale (84) and is hungry for more after a sensational all-round performance. Malinga Bandara (6/21) was completely unplayable and rattled through the hosts at will. He picked up a hat trick along the way and in tandem with Jarrod Armitage (3/22) the duo ensured Lyndale would only face 43 overs before succumbing for a meek 84. Sajeewa Don (24) was gallant in the Lyndale middle order, but fell just like his team mates to the unrelenting spin of Bandara. The response emphatically belonged to Michael Vandort (50no) who added his fifth half-ton of the season - as the former Sri Lankan international blasted the hosts to all points of Barry Powell Reserve. With Nathan King (32) and Harry Staude (20) rotating the strike, Vandort unleashed at the other end to give the Bloods first innings points and set up Saturday’s outright chance. With another hour or so in their batting barrage, the Bloods will likely declare and leave Lyndale with a slim chance of escaping a 10-point defeat. HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTRICTS v DANDENONG WEST Chalking up a fairly even clash at Reedy Reserve, Heinz Southern Districts (184) has set the stage for an even-money showdown on Saturday against Dandenong West (3/69). North Dandenong started strongly as Nathan Goodes (3/57) and Peter Atkinson (2/44) had a lot of strong LBW shouts turned down. Goodes would eventually break through, snaring Brad Downe (1) for a pittance off an exceptional catch in close by Clay McCartney. It left the former

Dandenong West was up in unison for Nathan Goodes’ LBW shout on Heinz opener Brad Picture: JARROD POTTER Downe. 149058 skipper Trevor Davies (40) and current captain Matt Cox (32) to carry on and the tandem did just that - blasting the bad balls and seeing off the opposing openers. They would both succumb in a disastrous period though for the Cobras as the hosts fell from 1/70 to 7/124 in a blink of an eye. Matt Downe (39) and Lee Brown (28) were the ones who struck back - adding a much needed 56-run stand for the eighth wicket to push Heinz towards 200. Downe would fall to Clay McCartney (1/6) and it signalled the encroaching end as the side fell for 184 from its 58 overs. The response was driven by Sam Bracey (41no) as the keeper smashed his way towards a second half-

ton this year, but it wasn’t all one-way traffic for the Bulls. The Western force lost skipper Matt Sofoulis (0), Matt Collett (13) and Jacob Weeks (4) before stumps to leave the match in the balance. BUCKLEY RIDGES v MORDIALLOC Buckley Ridges (179) had to be rescued by the lower order after a disastrous start against Mordialloc (2/10). The gains made by Jayson Hobbs (22) and Kunal Kapoor (16) were soon eviscerated as the Bloodhounds struck. The home side fell to 5/48 and looked ready to brace for disaster before Suren Ekanayake (47) and Paul Rudd (45) put the brakes to the descent. Their 74-run stand ensured there would be something worthy of de-

fence for the hosts as Troy Aust (22) also chipped in late in the order to push Buckley Ridges to 179. Two late wickets for Mordialloc - off Susantha Pradeep (2/5) - has kept the match interesting going into the second day. PARKFIELD v NORTH DANDENONG Outside of the openers, North Dandenong (125) didn’t account for much at the crease ... but then again neither has Parkfield (3/54) so far. Uzair Qureshi (64) and Syed Mehmood (19) pushed the match along for the Northerners, but the downturn started from three onwards. Alex Kerr (0) - who returned from Premier Cricket duties - didn’t trouble the scoreboard and the rest of the order fell away sharply to the likes of Hemantha Alles (3/8) and Nilochana Perera (3/26). The Bears weren’t covered in batting glory by any stretch though as Khyber Kunary (3/29) seared through the top order, leaving only Joe Barrett (30no) standing. The Bears are nearly half-way home and desperately need the points to stay in the hunt for finals. VSDCA - ROUND 9 (Day 1) Led as normal by batting maestro Marasinghe Perera (59), Noble Park (184) is set for a great conclusion to its battle against Kew (1/11). Perera clamped himself to the crease alongside Mevan Fernando (50no) to get the Bulls in motion, but would’ve rued another missed chance to cash in after falling to Zac Thorne (4/51). Fernando batted through the day and kept side from falling apart with help from Paul Hill (24) in particular. Endeavour Hills (1/23) has an almighty hill to climb after Preston (201) set a monster chase. The best efforts of Luke Cody (3/25), Adam Matthews (2/45) and part-time work from Zach Allen (2/19) wasn’t enough to halt Preston’s climb as the tail wagged emphatically for the visitors. Allen (4) returned once again from Premier Cricket duties but couldn’t see off the day, leaving the work to Ben Law (11no) and Dayle Olson (2no).

Dandenong paceman McMaster bites into Tigers By JARROD POTTER VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET ROUND 14 (Day 1) DANDENONG (1/52) is en route to an impressive upset victory after laying siege to the Monash Tigers’ (195) batsmen. The Panthers got their chance to inflict maximum damage on Monash Tigers - who are missing international pair Cameron White and Dan Christian to Big Bash duties - but had to bide time before striking. The Tigers’ openers dug in as Daniel Sartori (31) and Marcus Berryman (24) chewed up the opening hour and helped take the shine off the new rock, but from there the Panthers started chipping away at the opposition order. Kooweerup up-and-comer Adam McMaster (5/60) struck first and struck often to claim his maiden five-wicket haul in Premier Cricket. The right-arm paceman was exceptional as he forced the error from Berryman before continuing on with the rest of the attack. The Tigers didn’t capitulate by any means though - with the recognised

batsmen all getting starts, but the problems came in bundles for the visitors. They fell in clumps to James Wilcock (2/26) - who would’ve shouted himself hoarse from the number of close LBW appeals he generated - and workhorse Justin Butterfield (2/49). McMaster seized the prized wicket of first-class allrounder Will Sheridan (18) and once the recognised bats had been sent packing, Monash was left in disarray at 6/116. The gutsy fightback from Dom Matarazzo (50) and Jack Harper (17) ensured there would be something on the board they could defend as McMaster ramped up for another salvo. He seared through the tail - Sam Taylor (9), Harper and Matt Shimell (0) became victims three, four and lucky number five for the 19-year-old, as he claimed his 20th wicket of the year at a remarkable average of 19.3. “It was his first five for in the comp and he bowled very well,” Dandenong coach Ross Woodall said about McMaster. “He’s been really impressive this year - really good for us and had a great under-19 carnival where he took 15 wickets

in that tournament. “Genuine pace bowler and has been really consistent with us and has been putting the ball in the right areas more often than not.” A steady response from the skipper Tom Donnell (28) and Brett Forsyth (21no) kept Alan Wise (0/7) and company at bay, but Donnell fell on his sword late in the afternoon, skittled by Berryman (1/7) to leave the match in the balance heading into day two. Dandenong’s fourths played in a white ball grand final against Monash on Sunday. WOMEN’S PREMIER CRICKET ROUND 13 (Twenty20) A dire run for the Dandenong Lions’ (9/69) continued with a Twenty20 mauling at the hands of the MCC (5/107). Missing perennial stars Kelly Applebee and Sarah Elliott, the rearranged Lions’ order - guided by interim skipper Chelsea Moscript - struggled to trouble the visitors on either side of the contest. Calisa Moffat (2/8) was the best of the bowlers while Emma Gallagher (26) kept the run rate ticking along. Dandenong faces Box Hill on Sunday in a Twenty20.

Adam McMaster has surged in 2016, starting with a sensational five-wicket haul against Monash. 149057 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Set to put on a real show HE MAY have been picked just as a state schoolboys’ bowler but Cornish College student Jakob Woinarski is keen to show his all-round calibre when he takes on the rest of Australia next month. Woinarski, 15, has been selected for his first schoolboys’ tour – picked for School Sport Victoria’s (SSV) Metro boys under-15 cricket team heading to Queensland next month. It’s been a whirlwind for the 177cm Mordialloc paceman who didn’t expect much from the tryouts as the competition for state spots

was extremely high-calibre. “Feeling good – it came as a bit of a surprise and didn’t give myself the biggest chance throughout the tryouts so it’s a big shock,” Woinarski said. “Tried out last year as well, fell a bit short, so this year was just to have fun in Brisbane and, hopefully, put my name up for Australian selection with the under-16s. He hopes to take his fuss-free approach to cricket to the nationals in February and he always heads out with one goal in mind – to just have fun. “Cricket is just about having fun so that’s what I’m there for,” Woinarski said. “Just want to take wickets and do

From the DDCA to the state schoolboys team, it’s been a fast journey for Cornish College’s Jakob Woinarski. 148085 my job for the team – keep it simple – and mostly just have fun and you play good cricket when you’re having fun.”

He made his DDCA Turf 1 debut late last year – always a promising sign of talent for a 15-year-old – and already has seven wickets from his four matches and a couple of rear-guard not outs to help extend the Bloodhounds’ batting depth. “I love playing high-level cricket and its helped me progress quite quickly through the stages. That’s why I think my game is good enough to get me onto that state team.” With 10 half-tons already in his junior cricketing journey and a couple of gutsy not outs from the bottom of the Turf 1 order, Woinarski sees his all-round game as an asset and

Emily grows up as her own sports star ROB Schneider might be a lot more locally relevant than just his bitparts in Adam Sandler movies. After all, the American actor and his comedy-baseball film The Benchwarmers helped inspire Dandenong Baseball Association (DBA) representative player Emily Devine who decided she wanted to start her own baseball story. After watching and re-watching the film, Devine, 12, from Pakenham, made the decision to join the Pakenham Pumas Baseball Club and she has never looked back. “It was actually a movie I was obsessed with – Benchwarmers,” Devine said. “I just really wanted to give it a go and one day my mum brought me down and I had a go and loved it. “It’s so much fun with all my friends here (Pakenham Pumas) in the under-14s in winter and under15s in summer.” Nearly two years later – after working her way up the ranks - that decision has paid off handsomely for the Pumas’ slugger because Devine has been called up to the Victorian Women’s Youth team. She has packed up the bat and glove and headed to Canberra for National Youth Women’s Championships in Canberra where she’ll face off against the best under-16s in the country. Devine was thrilled to earn her Victorian place and her hopes are just as mighty as her hits from the wheelhouse. “Basically, it’s just really exciting and I feel very proud and honoured,” Devine said. “I’d love to win it and I can’t wait to meet lots of new people, get a lot of new friends and just play the game.” She hopes to be behind the plate as well as the team’s catcher but no matter where she’s put on the field

DBA player Emily Devine has slugged her way onto the Victorian under-16 girls baseball team. 148538 Picture: JARROD POTTER Devine is stoked to have the chance to represent the state at such a young age. Victoria is not the only representative side she’s made recently, as the Pumas’ power hitter also fea-

tured in the Dandenong Baseball Association’s (DBA) under-14 state championship success in July. She’s got an eye out for senior women’s baseball as soon as possible and will journey out to

Springvale to join the Big Cats. I’m looking to play at Springvale,” Devine said. “I’m really excited about it - next year, hopefully.”

Matildas star is set to coach juniors CALLING in the big guns to coach the next generation of female soccer talent, former Matilda Debbie Nichols will be part of the inaugural coaching set-up at Southern United. In a coup for the Under 13 program, Nichols, from Beaconsfield, is set to coach the smallest Southerners in the inaugural Women’s National Premier League (WNPL) competition. Nichols brings a great wealth of playing and coaching experience to the side – having featured for Australia 12 times including at the World Cup and an upset-defeat of Brazil in 1983 – and she’s excited to see the south east super-club

hopes to convince the cricketing community that he’s not just another tall tailender. “I think I can bat, but bowling has always been my dominant strength in cricket but I’ve improved my batting in the last few years with coaching. “They tell us now that you can‘t be one thing – you’ve got to be a threeway player and everyone you can see in junior cricket now – if they’re a bowler they can bat as well and fielding is a big part of it, too. “You can’t just be a bowler and get to the high level cricket teams these days – you’ve just got to work on everything.”

earn its place in the league. “It’s a bit of a shock to the system, but the numbers have been good,” Nichols said. “Really pleased and it’s good that Southern got up in the consortium bid as this is a growth area of Melbourne and you’d want to make sure it’s represented.” Having played in Australia since she was 12 – going through senior sides at Springvale, Dandenong North, Dandenong, Berwick City and the Casey Comets - Nichols thinks the junior girls pathway will allow kids to slowly develop and hone their skills rather than fending for themselves against the adults.

“It’s absolutely exploded – the fact that at this age, me and Theresa (Deas) had to play in senior teams as there was no junior set up,” Nichols said. “It makes it easier for those who maybe aren’t as talented now – who wouldn’t survive playing open age. “It gives them an opportunity to develop between 12 and 17 ... and gives them a pathway and a great opportunity to grow.” While she’s used to coaching the seniors – having stood at the helm of the Casey Comets for 15 years – Nichols thought it was nice to step back to juniors and help cultivate the south east’s finest.

“I’ve been coaching senior women for 15 years at least and I’ve had some absolute superstar 13 and 14-year-olds through that period,” Nichols said. “I’ve done all age groups before but never a group this young so it’s going to be different.” “It will be fun – takes a bit of pressure off not doing the seniors but we’ll see how we go.” Southern United president Theresa Deas – another south east soccer champion from the Dandenong area – thought Nichols’ appointment was a boon for the juniors as the club looks towards its inaugural 2016.
