FATHER Peter Searson’s terror reign at Holy Family School in Doveton continued because a delegation of teachers advised they did not want him removed, Cardinal George Pell told a Royal Commission hearing on 3 March. Cardinal Pell was questioned in depth for four days by the Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse via a video link from Rome. On Thursday, the final day, Paul O’Dwyer SC quizzed Cardinal Pell on the 18-teacher delegation that visited him with grievances about the parish priest’s conduct with children in 1989 eight years before Father Searson was dismissed. Mr O’Dwyer asserted that the school community thought Father Searson was a risk to children. Cardinal Pell replied: “The staff didn’t say it in those terms because they didn’t ask for his removal. They asked for him to stay on.” Mr O’Dwyer said it “beggars belief” that the staff wouldn’t tell the then-Auxiliary Bishop they had concerns for the children’s safety. “They were expressed to some degree,” Cardinal Pell said. “But in the context of not asking for him to be removed.” Ahead of the meeting, Cardinal Pell received a list of five complaints including a “small group of children shown (a) dead body in (a) coffin”, “cruelty to an animal in front of young children” and “compulsion on children to attend reconciliation on demand”. Also on the list was “unnecessary use of children’s toilets” and “harassment of children”. Cardinal Pell said Father Searson’s

Archbishop Frank Little with the message that the teachers didn’t want Father Searson removed. In turn, Cardinal Pell was instructed to pass the concerns onto Father Searson, to request he “followed all the rules and regulations very carefully and explicitly”. In 1991, a delegation of Holy Family parents told then-Auxiliary-Bishop Pell of Father Searson frequenting boys’ toilets, observing boys showering and taking children alone into the presbytery without teacher permission. Cardinal Pell said he didn’t investigate though the parish was in his region; it was the responsibility of the education office and the Vicar General. A day earlier at the Commission, Cardinal Pell stated the Catholic Education Office had inadequately briefed him on the list of issues ahead of the meeting with teachers. He said the education office at the time deceived him partly to protect then-Archbishop Frank Little, who had been inactive on the Searson matter. The argument was described as “completely implausible” by Gail Furness SC, counsel assisting the Commission. The Royal Commission had been earlier told of a litany of complaints about Father Searson such as killing a bird with a screwdriver and tossing a cat to its death - both in front of children - as well sexually abusing and striking children. Cardinal Pell, as then Archbishop of Melbourne, dismissed Father Searson in 1997 after police laid a charge of assaulting a boy. Searson had been at the parish since 1984.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A CONTROVERSIAL Facebook page attempting to stop a new mosque being built in Narre Warren North has reached almost 7000 likes in a week. Since Wednesday, when Star News last reported on the issue, the ‘Stop the Mosque in Narre Warren’ Facebook page has almost gained another 1000 likes and was sitting at 6,896 on Friday 4 March. The planning application to build a “place of worship” at 365-367 Belgrave-Hallam Road is being considered by Casey council. The application, which includes plans for a school, was submitted by the Saarban Islamic Trust. The protest page is calling on people to sign a petition objecting to the mosque, and the council is taking submissions on the issue until 11 March. Ted Derton wrote on the public page that the mosque would be an

“inappropriate” use of the “rural” land. “It’s (an) inappropriate use of the land in a rural green wedge zone, with two mosques already nearby,” he said. “One at the end of BelgraveHallam Road and the other in Lysterfield less than 6kms away.” The existing Narre Warren North mosque, used by the Islamic Education and Welfare Association of Dandenong (IEWAD), is located at 131-133 Belgrave-Hallam Road. Denise Klaaysen also posted to the page to raise traffic concerns. “We are worried about the extra traffic and people in the area which at times (we) are struggling with at the moment in Belgrave Hallam Road and Wellington Roads,” she said. Pastor Danial Nalliah, the president of the hard-right Rise Up Australia Party, spoke out against the mosque plans on Channel 7 News on Tuesday, along with his RUAP

deputy and Casey councillor Rosalie Crestani. Pastor Nalliah, whose office is in nearby Hallam, claimed a new mosque increased the “potential” for a terrorist attack. “A mosque is similar to a Nazi camp next door,” Pastor Nalliah told Channel 7. “True Islam is terrorism.” Mohammed El-Leissy, from the Jewish Christian Muslim Association, slammed the anti-Islamic sentiment. “You don’t see Muslims wanting to shut down churches in this country, and yet you see these evangelical Christians wanting to shut down mosques,” Mr El-Leissy told Channel 7. “I’d ask you – who’s the radical here?” City of Casey Planning Manager Duncan Turner said the matter would be considered at a future meeting of the council before “mid2016”.

“Council considers all planning applications upon their own planning merits and as such it is not appropriate to make comment on the Facebook page,” he said. Cr Crestani told Star News that RUAP was not “fighting the mosque through me” and said she had no conflict of interest. The mosque furore comes after Cr Crestani presented a 51-signature petition in January calling for a review of the process which saw plans approved for another Islamic school, this one to be built at the former Doveton North Primary School site in Rowan Drive. The Saarban Islamic Trust did not respond to questions from Star News.

Asylum seekers work hard at a new life By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Asylum seeker ‘Aly’ has grabbed the opportunity for work. 150731 Picture: GARY SISSONS the-job training is required. He wants to please his employer. Rylock operations manager Mark Dunham said all four recruits, each from different nationalities, have impressed with their reliable

attendance, attitude and endeavour. Surprisingly, it’s generally hard to find employees. Mr Dunham tells of Australian-born people they’ve interviewed and offered work to who have not even

‘ALY’ is the sort of asylum seeker success story that people don’t hear enough about. He’s the 100th client trained up and job-ready at Asylum Seekers Resource Centre’s Dandenong office that has since found work. He’s also the fourth client taken on by Dingley manufacturer Rylock Windows and Doors in recent months. ‘Aly’ has been on a bridging visa since he arrived by boat from Pakistan. Before he got work rights he was struggling on 80 per cent of the dole allowance in a crowded share-house and couldn’t afford to study IT. Under the ASRC’s tutelage he honed his English, resume, job interview and job-seeking skills. The centre helped ‘Aly’ gain a work placement with Rylock as a frame assembler a month ago. ‘Aly’ said he’s just excited to be working and keen to do whatever on-

FIVE men from Hampton Park, Cranbourne North and Cranbourne South were charged on Friday as police claimed they had “shut down” rival hoon gangs. Nine people were charged on Friday 4 March after Taskforce Regarder seized a black 2003 Holden ute from a Dulnain Court home in Hampton Park and an orange VT Holden Commodore from a Greta Court house in Ferntree Gully in the early hours of the morning. Among those charged on Friday were two men from Hampton Park aged 28 and 23, two men from Cranbourne North aged 22 and 23, a 20-year-old Cranbourne South man, an 18-yearold Somerville man, a 28-year-old Langwarrin South man, a 19-year-old Gladstone Park man, and a 20-year-old Ferntree Gully man. They have all been bailed to face Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 11 May. In all police have charged 35 people and seized 21 vehicles since Taskforce Regarder started a month ago. Acting Inspector Michael Daly told reporters outside Dandenong Police Station on Friday that police had “effectively shut down the south-east Skids and north-west Skids hierarchies”. “We’ve charged numerous people and, basically, put a stop to it,” he said. Insp Daly said the rival hoons had been meeting in the Melbourne’s northern or southern suburbs and holding “a contest against each other”. “If these offenders want to treat their cars as weapons then we will, too. “We will seize them and keep them as exhibits as we do with any other weapon,” Insp Daly said. “And let us be clear, our focus extends beyond the drivers themselves to the spectators. “If you are a spectator and you think you’re innocent in it all - you’re not. You’re encouraging dangerous and even deadly behaviour. “We are investigating your involvement and will prosecute you.” The charges issued on Friday include conduct endangering serious injury, conduct endangering life and other hoon offences.

inspire others,” Mr Dunham said. “They show they are more than willing to work.” Mr Dunham has no fears of taking on new arrivals. He’s seen an Ethiopianborn worker with little English flourish with perseverance. Within a few years that worker broke down language barriers and became a supervisor. Another new-arrival worker has kicked on to start their own business. ASRC employer partnerships manager Sonia Mackie said often new arrivals’ English skills soar with the chance to practice them in a workplace. New employers are nervous taking on asylum seekers and are not sure how the visa system works but are soon won over, Ms Mackie said. “I say to employers that I or any worker can just get up and leave within three months.” As Mr Dunham has found, Aly and other clients have shown far more sticking power.

Scan through history secures its future OUR special objects, images, and documents tell us about who we are and where we have come from as a community. The items in our local history collections tell stories over more than a century of everyday life across the municipality, from those of mayors and community leaders to children and families, and the many changes this area has been through. In partnership with the Dandenong and District Historical Society and the Springvale and District Historical Society, the council has created a joint archive facility for three historical collections to preserve our local history and provide ways for the broader community to get involved. The new facility in the old progress hall in Hammond Road, Dandenong, provides a quality, secure space for the storage and preservation of heritage items. The facility features industry standard light and temperature controls and monitoring, which are particularly important for items at risk of degradation such as photographic negatives and textiles. Importantly, it provides a place for our two historical societies to also store their documents and memorabilia. It makes sense that an environmentally-controlled building can be shared between all parties who have historic material so that all can take ad-

vantage of the facilities. In addition, the facility provides equipment for a team of volunteers to scan items from the heritage collection for presentation online. This is a really exciting initiative which will broaden the audience for historical collections in the municipality and beyond. The facility hosts the council’s civic collections including objects, photographs, maps, artworks and documents. Among the most important items is the council’s collection of historical mayoral robes as well as the many thousands of photographic negatives donated to the council by local photographer Graham Southam. In the near future, the facility will also host collections from the Dandenong and District Historical Society and the Springvale and District Historical Society.

The digital scanning of documents and photos has just commenced and there is a link on the council’s website where residents can see the work that is held in our collections http://www. greaterdandenong.com/arts There is also a place where comments can be left, so that if residents have information about old photos and the people who are in them they can provide further details. One of the best ways to get involved is to offer

your skills as a volunteer to the project of cataloguing and digitising heritage items. The team meets on Wednesdays and Thursdays at the archive. Call council volunteers co-ordinator Patricia Roche on 8571 5335 for more information. Also, keep an eye out for heritage displays and exhibitions across the municipality, advertised on the council’s website.

nobly as it has done in the past. 50 years ago 1 March 1966 Chased man with ‘sock on his hand’ Dandenong: A game of hide-and-seek played around supermarket between two policemen and a tall dark man who wore a sock on his left hand, was described in Dandenong Court last week. It was a hot and stifling night and the two divisional van members wondered why a man should be wearing a glove when they saw him flitting through a used car park. They ran him to earth behind the supermarket where he was found partly concealed in a heap

of cardboard boxes. As a sequel, he faced two charges in Dandenong Court last week and was sentenced to one month’s goal and fined $20 on the tampering count. 20 years ago 5 March 1996 Library is still for sale Casey council will consider alternatives to the sale of the Joseph Banks Library site after pressure from elderly migrant groups.

Gang swoop By LACHLAN MOORHEAD AND GEORGIA WESTGARTH AT LEAST 19 teenagers have been processed by police in the last fortnight as the spate of home invasions and luxury car thefts across Casey and Dandenong ramps up. Twelve of these youths have been remanded in custody, with police investigating at least 30 burglaries in Melbourne’s outer south-east over the last two weeks. It’s understood almost all of the youths are teenagers. A police spokesman told Star News it was “rare” to find anyone aged 20 or older involved in the burglaries, where brazen thieves break into occupied homes and steal car keys from a bench.

Last week it was reported that a series of car thefts occurred between Friday 19 and Saturday 20 February and spanned Keysborough, Berwick, Narre Warren South and Wheelers Hill. Detective Sergeant Ivan Bobetic from the Dandenong Embona Taskforce said last week that investigations into the car thefts and possible links to the notorious ’apex gang’ remained ongoing. “It’s certainly an avenue of inquiry - it appears the ‘apex gang’ is so widespread now, however to categorise them as a group or gang is folly at this point in time, it’s just something that we’ve got in the back of our minds and are exploring as part of the investigation,” Det Sgt Bobetic said.

“This type of offending has been occurring for 18 months to two years but not all are related to this group of offenders.” While those processed in recent weeks are all under 18 years of age, Det Sgt Bobetic said a range of different groups and ages were involved in the burglaries to some degree. “A lot of them are known to each other,” he said. “The level of violence and lack of contrition is alarming for their ages - it seems they have no concept of what they are doing, conscience for the victims or they simply don’t care.” Anyone with any information in relation to this series of offences is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Council welcomes boost for library The City of Casey is excited to share that it has received $750,000 in funding towards construction of the community library at Bunjil Place! Awarded through the Victorian Government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure program, which aims to improve Victorian public library facilities, Council is thrilled to receive the maximum grant available. The much-needed funding will enhance visitor experiences and interactions in the library.

No dough from Hallam bakery

It will guarantee the quality of the multi-story open plan spaces and the specialised outdoor reading garden, providing an accessible library that will adapt to the needs of the community. This is a major boost for the community; giving this beloved and popular service the support it needs to continue providing valuable learning and cultural opportunities for Casey’s residents and visitors.

Code of conduct moves

EVEN cancer can’t wipe the trademark smile from Don Cameron’s face. The Cornerstone Contact Centre co-ordinator’s positivity didn’t waver as he described how fast-spreading cancers were attacking his liver, lungs, pelvis, bowel and gall bladder. Doctors told the 45-year-old he might not live to see May, but supporting the community remains his focus. “A few weeks ago I was at the gym and I was working out and I was a little bit slow,” he said. “Then I sneezed in church and it felt like my chest exploded.” A heart condition was Don’s first fear but tests found something far worse. He felt like he was dying and could barely stand or breathe. “It literally feels like I’m holding a spare tyre,” he said. Doctors said treatment would have little impact on the tumours so Don decided against it and is feeling remarkably well. “I’m meant to be really sick but I’m not,” he said. Breaking the news to his Cornerstone family has been the hardest part, Don said. “A lot of people here suffer from anxiety and depression. I’ve been a bit gutless in putting it on Facebook so everybody knows,” he said. “Heaps of people have been bringing food over. I’m jokingly saying I’ll have to invite my friends over to eat all the food.” He discovered Cornerstone in 1991 as a “brand new Christian” before it even opened its doors. “I worked next door at the taxation office. During my lunch break I’d come in here and drill a few holes in things - I’m not a handyman at all, they just told me what to do,” he said. “In May 1992 we opened the doors with about 30 people.

THE State Government has sent out a warning to all local councils as new misconduct laws take effect. Under amendments to the Local Government Act passed last year, councils now have a greater authority to deal with councillor misconduct internally including new and improved procedures to address alleged code of conduct breaches. The changes empower councils and the government to take action against councillors doing the wrong thing. Allegations of misconduct and serious misconduct will be dealt with by independent Councillor Conduct Panels which will have the power to suspend councillors for up to six months. Councillors retain a right of appeal to VCAT but can no longer bypass Councillor Conduct Panels and have hearings moved to VCAT before a final decision is made. Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said: “When one bad apple does the wrong thing” it is important that there are “quick and robust processes in place to deal with misconduct”. “Standards of council governance in Victoria are higher than they have ever been before thanks to the Labor Government’s new laws,” she said.

Don’s serene strength

He’s redirected donations towards his medical treatment to Cornerstone. “We run at about $93,000 a year I think, total cost,” he said. “They’re paying me sick leave. I feel guilty. I’m a drain. I’m not giving anything back.” Don said each Cornerstone lunch cost about $300 and suggested that businesses put up the cash and use the experience for team-building.

He also appealed for volunteers with administration skills to support Pastor Michael Eggleton, his likely successor. “You can get people to wash dishes and cook food, that’s great. But when people are filling out forms you need some very professional people you can trust to get the job done,” Don said. “Michael came along at just the right time. He doesn’t know everything that I do but he’s got great potential. “Every time key leaders have left in the past, Cornerstone’s got stronger. “That gives me confidence.” Don cut off his trademark ponytail to cheer up his wife and daughters, aged eight and 10. “I used to have long hair and she always wanted me to cut it short,” he said.

He’s seen many people succumb to cancer as a volunteer chaplain at Dandenong Hospital. “The threat of dying of cancer doesn’t worry me. It’s a very peaceful way to go,” he said. “At the moment I’m just playing it by ear. “I’m out and about. I hope that continues as long as possible.” Barb Carlin has volunteered at Cornerstone for the past 17 years. “They’re all devastated. He’s done a lot in the community. He’s one of them,” she said. But she’s confident the centre has a strong future. “Life goes on and Don would like to see that happen,” she said.

‘Likeable’ but risky By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN hobbled by illness has been declared a risk to the community after pleading guilty to his latest arson and drink-driving offences. Murray Craw, 55, of Dandenong, who is fighting prostate cancer and type-two diabetes, wore a beanie as he pushed a wheeler into his Port Phillip Prison court link on 29 February. He had been in custody for 82 days, facing his ninth drinkdriving offence, 13th for driving while suspended and fourth arson-related charge. Among his recent charges was setting a dump master skip full of cardboard alight at the back of a Hampton Park servo

about 3.15am on 9 December. According to a police summary presented at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court, Craw set the blaze with a cigarette lighter, stepped back and lit a cigarette. He then walked away. While waiting for a bus in Traralgon West on 6 June, Craw lit a large pile of rubbish behind the bus shelter on Princes Highway. While passing motorists reported the fire, Craw walked out from behind the shelter and boarded the 7.40am bus to Morwell. CCTV footage on the bus showed a large fire continuing to burn as the bus drove on. Firefighters confined the fire damage to a 1.5-metre by 0.5

metre area, without it catching the wooden and metal bus shelter or road reserve. During a police field interview, Craw said he lit the fire because he was cold, admitting he didn’t extinguish it before he left. On 20 September, Craw ran a red light and crashed into a pregnant driver at the corner of Princes Highway and Heatherton Road, Noble Park North. The driver and her passenger were taken by ambulance to Dandenong Hospital for observation. An uninjured Craw, whose licence was suspended at the time, produced a 0.100 blood-alcohol sample at hospital more than 90

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Craw was “likeable” but a risk to the community if his issues weren’t addressed. “In my opinion, you’re better on a corrections order than a parole order (when released). “From what I know of your past, drugs aren’t the issue. It’s the alcohol.” Craw replied: “Alcohol and putting other people in front of myself.” Craw requested the Journal “make it known” that it was the “people I have helped” that caused him to go to jail. He was ordered to undergo a community corrections assessment at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 7 March.

minutes later. Craw was also charged with stealing a helmet from a parked Vespa on Flinders Street, Melbourne. The accused returned it when the victim was alerted by his son: “That dude has got your helmet.” Craw later complained to police: “How can it be theft, he has got his property back. “Well, people stole from me while I was in hospital.” Defence lawyer Bernard Keating said Craw desired to return to his Dandenong boarding house. “He did trades in New Zealand. He’s lived the life, so it’s more the pity he finds himself in this situation.”

Hunt to wipe out graffiti vandals By LACHLAN MOORHEAD POLICE are closing the net on graffiti vandals as they hunt those responsible for spraying specific tags. This week police released photos of three different graffiti tags and called for public assistance in determining who they belong to. The photos of the three tags - LERK, KRAFT and DTS - were posted on the Casey Eyewatch Facebook page on 1 March. The police crackdown comes as Casey council launched an online petition last month to tackle tagging across the municipality. Residents are being urged to sign the new petition which requests the State Government prioritise removing tags that plague VicRoads’s controlled signage and noise barriers along the Monash Freeway (Hallam Bypass) and railway bridges controlled by VicTrack.

The online petition automatically sends an email to Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan and Roads Minister Luke Donnellan who is also the Narre Warren North MP. “The Monash Freeway and the Hallam Bypass, which is the gateway to our city, looks like downtown New York in the 1970s,” Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said. “And here we are working hard to build beautiful neighbourhoods and VicRoads don’t want to lift a finger, even though it’s their responsibility - we won’t stop until it gets fixed.” Anyone who wants to sign council’s petition can visit www.casey.vic.gov.au/cleanupyouract. Anyone who has any information on these tags is urged to contact Crime Stoppers via www.crimestoppersvic.com.au, or by phone on 1300 333 000.

IN BRIEF Teen stabbed A TEENAGE stabbing victim staggered into a nearby home for help following a come-frombehind attack in Dandenong. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Christine Johnstone said the 19-year-old Springvale man was walking to meet friends about 7.10pm on Friday 26 February. As he reached Sixth Avenue and Purdy Street, he was stabbed three times from behind. The attackers fled with the victim’s phone, which he dropped during the assault. He was taken to The Alfred hospital with nonlife threatening injuries after the occupants of a nearby home called triple zero.

Safety screws DRIVERS are being urged to secure their car number plates with one-way screws. The crime is continuing to plague Greater Dandenong motorists and police recommend the screws as a preventative measure. The stolen plates are often used during other crimes, like petrol driveoffs and burglaries. Greater Dandenong Neighbourhood Watch has a supply of the screws.

Police are hunting the vandals who sprayed these graffiti tags.

Patients' lives on hold By LACHLAN MOORHEAD MICHAEL Marks and his family know how devastating kidney failure can be. In 2014 renal failure saw Michael suffer from two cardiac arrests, stopping his heart for 35 minutes during which the Hampton Park man was declared clinically dead. Luckily during this incident, Michael was already at the hospital, and doctors were able to save his life, but the 50-yearold has been constantly reminded of his frailty as he waits desperately on the transplant list for a new kidney. In the meantime, Michael, his wife Sandra, and their sons Paul and Shayne have been working tirelessly to seek support for a special trivia night fund-raiser they are holding on Saturday 5 March, in conjunction with Kidney Health Australia. But the four of them have found it incredibly difficult to get local business on board, which has spurred Michael on to raise awareness about the terrible nature of kidney failure. “Every time we go looking for donations from different companies, we keep getting the same response - ‘I’ve given to the cancer people’ or I’ve given to the heart people’,” Michael said. “We feel as if the people who have got renal failure, kidney failure, are being overlooked.” Michael is not undermining the seriousness and the benefits of cancer and heart fund-raisers, he just wants to ensure patients suffering from kidney disease are afforded attention as well. “I’d just like to see awareness get out there in the community,” he said. “If you can’t get awareness, you can’t get a cure and if you can’t get a cure, people die. “It’s a pretty simple scenario.” It was simple for Michael when he was

IN BRIEF Dental shot A SINGLE gunshot was fired into a Hallam dental clinic this month. The bullet was shot into the front window of the Arcadia Avenue clinic sometime between 19 and 22 February.

Bike stolen Michael Marks(centre)with his family and supporters Paul, Sandra, Andrew, Peter and Shayne. 150823 diagnosed with kidney failure two years ago. For him, the difference between life and death is dialysis treatment as he waits on the transplant list, a wait he’s already endured for 18 months and one he’s told can take up to five years. Michael undergoes dialysis treatment at the Cranbourne Integrated Car Unit three days a week, for five hours at a time. “They pump the blood out and clean it and put it back into your body,” Michael said. “People don’t understand the implica-

tions that renal failure has.” Michael was first diagnosed with kidney failure in 2014 and since then his life has been a compromise. Among many concessions, Michael is restricted to only doing paper work for his gardening business, as he is now unable to do the physical work he once relished. “I can’t sustain any long-term activities, if I was to go for a walk, instead of half an hour I’m lucky to do five minutes,” he said. “Any strenuous physical work and I’m done for the day.”

However, while his physical prowess has been diminished by the disease, the same can’t be said for Michael’s mental strength. “It’s made me realise you’ve ‘gotta live life to the fullest - you can’t just turn around and take things for granted,” he said. The Kidney Health Trivia Night will be held this Saturday 5 March at the Village Green Hotel in Mulgrave from 6.30pm. Tickets can be bought at the door, and to get involved with the event contact Paul Marks on 0458 454 427, or send an email to trivianight.kh@iinet.net.au.

Beating its own drum By CASEY NEILL

Drum head technician Stuart McKellar takes visitors on stage to show them the lighting and grand piano during a Pictures: ROB CAREW back-stage tour on Friday 26 February. 150772 activities such as workshops, classes and lectures. Identified participation barriers included a perceived lack of safety at night, parking availability and an unwelcoming facade. “The challenge is to promote Drum Theatre, its program and Dandenong as an

entertainment, cultural and leisure based destination,” the council report said. The Drum will develop a broader program of activities to provide more reasons for the community to visit and positioning it as a community and cultural hub. The plan is to encourage new theatre hirers, provide active arts participation

activities, build Drum Theatre awareness, activate all spaces within the venue for meetings, functions and programs, and focus on artist development to grow local talent. Measurable key performance indicators will be reported to the council annually.

TUESDAYS will be a free-for-all at Dandenong’s Drum Theatre. Drum Theatre director Greg Hordacre said the new Free For All Tuesday program was created to give back to the community. “We are encouraging people who work locally to hang around after work, socialise with some friends, perhaps have a drink here at the Drum and enjoy a free 50-minute show, direct from a Melbourne International Comedy Festival artist,” he said. “Great shows and fun experiences are what we do well and this is a great way to try something fun with friends or work colleagues. Free For All uesday makes it easy to experience Dandenong’s Drum Theatre and are designed to be a quick and fun wind-down for the end of a work day.” Sean Murphy’s Party Tricks stand-up comedy show will be the first Free For All Tuesday event. On Tuesday 5 April, he’ll dish the dirt on the world of children’s entertainment in the theatre’s new cabaret seating mode which includes table seating on the stage.

1219628-ACM10-16

THE Drum Theatre will grow into a community and cultural hub if a new strategy goes according to plan. Greater Dandenong councillors passed a 10-year strategic plan for the venue at their 22 February meeting. During the meeting councillor Sean O’Reilly questioned whether the council should be subsidising the Drum to the tune of $700,000-plus a year. But Cr Jim Memeti said his comments were “a bit harsh”. “Council is not in the business of making money. It’s in the business of providing services,” he said. “It’s not fair on judging the Drum. It doesn’t have to make a profit.” Cr Roz Blades said ending the subsidy would increase access costs to the community. “We wanted it to belong to them,” she said. “The financial costs don’t matter because what the Drum has done to improve the perception of Dandenong is worth more than money.” Cr Matthew Kirwan said the Drum Theatre was essential to the Revitalising Central Dandenong project. “It shouldn’t just be seen as a performing arts centre,” he said. The Drum Theatre Advisory Committee (DTAC) was established in 2012 to provide the council with independent advice about the Drum’s direction. It prepared the strategic plan to guide the Drum though the next 10 years and generate greater community participation along the way. In May last year the DTAC commissioned market research to better understand community perceptions and attitudes to the Drum. This found that residents yet to experience the theatre wanted to participate in

Facebook complaint By LACHLAN MOORHEAD POLICE are investigating a Facebook account which purports to belong to Casey councillor Rosalie Crestani. Cr Crestani has reported the account, which used her name and photo, to police and Facebook after she found out about it

on Friday 26 February. It appears the page has since been taken down. Cr Crestani told Star News that the account was being used to â&#x20AC;&#x153;discreditâ&#x20AC;? her, with derogatory comments posted on the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used photos without authorisation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just

a copyright breach but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretending to be me to attack the Aboriginal community, which I am absolutely horrified by,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people should not get away with it.â&#x20AC;? Cr Crestani was last year appointed the deputy president of the hard-right Rise Up Australia Party (RUAP), which uses the

slogan â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Keep Australia Australianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and is run by controversial Catch the Fire Ministries pastor Danny Nalliah. Cr Crestani has been a member of the RUAP since early 2013 and ran as candidate for the group in the 2014 state election, as well as the most recent federal election. Users can find out

Girls get their lifesaving locked in By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS COUNTRIES donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more landlocked than Tibet or Afghanistan. But Lifesaving Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trainee recruits Tenzin-Cheosang,Tsering-Kyi and Elaha Naziri ought to know about swimming against currents and tides.

None of the three grew up near water; over the past year the teenagers have learnt to swim strongly enough to make the lifesaver grade.They then took a weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intensive training in first aid, signalling and other skills at Edithvale Surf Lifesaving Club. They are among seven graduates of the multicultural trainee program this year - and among 30 in the past five years - to have followed the footsteps of Dandenongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pioneering Afghan-born lifesaver Imtiyaz â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Mintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Saberi. Lifesaving Victoria multicultural projects officer David Holland says the role-models â&#x20AC;&#x153;kicked down the doorâ&#x20AC;? and will help spread the water-safety mes-

sage to new arrivals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New arrivals are the ones most at risk. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most represented in drownings in this state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water safety is often a low or zero priority in their countries, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to bridge that gap in Australia.â&#x20AC;? Many of the trainees have come from the Noble Park English Language School and its Casey campus. Mr Holland said he found it amazing that the girls have made the effort - outside of their efforts to settle in - to â&#x20AC;&#x153;protect Australiansâ&#x20AC;?. And that they learnt to do so in such short time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls wanted to do this course last year but their swimming wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough. So what we did was put them through swimming lessons for a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was quite a challenge for them.â&#x20AC;? The trainees now become powerful role-models, Mr Holland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other kids and families see them at the beach and water safety becomes a conversation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They learn about the worth of water safety and the worth of learning to swim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope many more will follow.â&#x20AC;?

Council steps up for court AN EXTRA court at the Doveton Netball Club is a step closer to being a reality. After a meeting with Casey councillor Damien Rosario, the club agreed upon plans for a second netball court at its Robinson Reserve facility, estimated to cost $275,000. On Tuesday 1 March the council agreed to refer the project to the City of Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Five Year Capital Works Program as a way of funding the new court. With only the one court currently at its Robinson Reserve, Doveton Netball Club president Amanda Dean previously told Star News that her club did not have the capacity to host a final, even if Doveton finished high enough on the ladder to deserve one. During the season, the team is forced to rent a court up the road to host around five of its teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It comes at quite a big cost to our club and a fairly substantial cost to the footy club overall,â&#x20AC;? Ms Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the nine games we host during the year, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potentially 100 people not coming through the football gate, and each of those families pays roughly $10 at the canteen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the numbers through on one court.â&#x20AC;?

No body: no parole By ANEEKA SIMONIS THE daughter of a rape, murder victim has put her full support behind a bold new Coalition Bill taking the power away from convicted killers. Last week, the State Opposition unveiled proposed new laws that would prevent convicted killers from receiving parole if they refuse to reveal the location of the body of their victims. Cranbourne woman Janine Greening heads the Victoria Homicide Victims Support Group’s Forget Me Not Foundation set on supporting those left behind in murder, homicide and missing persons’ cases. Some were adults when they went missing, others thought to have vanished due to foul play were children - but all leave behind a web of tragically torn friends and family left forever wondering. “I can only imagine what a nightmare that would be. Every one of us would like to have the body of our loved one to put them to rest in a place we know,” Ms Greening said. “These people are all stuck at that point in time when their loved one last went out the door. “It’s horrific to think killers can have that power over them.” Ms Greening’s mother, Marie Greening Zidan, 70, was sexually assaulted and killed by two minors in her Seaford home in 2000. Her intellectually disabled son cowered in terror in the corner of the room as the killers, then aged 15 and 16, took the great-grandmother’s life. Ms Greening was down the street as the horror unfolded. But horror does not begin to describe the 15-year ordeal she has been through - though Ms Greening said it would have undoubtedly been worse if her mother’s

Janine Greening wants justice for those grieving the loss of a loved one by murder or homicide. 150802 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS body was taken. “Of course it would have been (harder). Murder is murder. But to not have the body and be able to bury it ... that would be horrific. “It is very important to have the body and have a place to grieve. To be denied that, it’s horrific.”

Shadow Minister for Community Safety, Corrections and Police Edward O’Donohue introduced a Private Member’s Bill into the Legislative Council on Wednesday 24 February. “Families have a right to bury their loved ones and they should decide the resting place, not convicted killers,” he said.

“The Liberal Nationals Coalition believes that the rights of victims and their loved ones should be at the heart of the justice system and that criminals should be held to account for their crimes.” The early parole conditions also relate to convicted killers withholding other forms of critical information in a murder or homicide case.

Culture hangs by threads ARTISTS need to flag their interest in Cultural Threads by Friday 11 March. The City of Greater Dandenong will celebrate textile arts and cultural diversity through the return of the program in August. It was a finalist for Vic Health’s Building Health Through Art Award in 2015 and will deliver art installations, creative programming and interactive workshops across the municipality. The council is looking for artists who are interested in getting involved through facilitating workshops, delivering community-based projects or creating temporary installations. Through the medium of textiles, people are encouraged to connect, trade skills, share stories and interweave their cultures. Events will be held at various venues across the municipality including at Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre, the Drum Theatre, Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens, Greater Dandenong Libraries and Harmony Square. A full program of all public activities, workshops and events will be released in the coming months.

Call for gentle debate By LACHLAN MOORHEAD HOLT MP Anthony Byrne has warned people against using â&#x20AC;&#x153;inflammatory and derogatoryâ&#x20AC;? language in the debate about the Safe Schools program. Last month Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ordered an independent review of the taxpayer-funded program - aimed at helping lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and/or intersex (LGBTI) school students - after its manual came under attack from rightwing politicians and the Australian Christian Lobby.

Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott Tuesday called for the program to be axed. Mr Byrne, who convened a well-publicised summit on youth suicide in Casey in 2012, urged people to be wary of the language they used when discussing the program, days after Coalition MP George Christensen likened the Safe Schools initiative to grooming undertaken by sexual predators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is critical in any debate about this issue that inflammatory and derogatory language not be used,â&#x20AC;? Mr Byrne said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Words can literally kill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any debate about this program must be temperate and take into account the suffering and anguish of those whom the Safe Schools program seeks to help.â&#x20AC;? A number of Casey schools are signed up to the Safe Schools program, including Cranbourne Secondary College, Fountain Gate Secondary College, Hallam Senior College and Oatlands Primary School in Narre Warren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have met with young people dealing with gender identity and same sex relationship issues who tell me of the bullying they

have experienced and heard of the attempts of self-harm that this bullying precipitated,â&#x20AC;? Mr Byrne said. While Berwick Lodge Primary School is not part of the program, its principal Henry Grossek said the Safe School initiative was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;positive moveâ&#x20AC;? and could see his school joining up â&#x20AC;&#x153;down the trackâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Safe Schools is a positive move, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new and breaking new ground, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of community apprehension about it, because it does touch a sensitive area for a lot of

people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gender is a sensitive area, one that people hold strong views on, starting to dialogue on that can be awkward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think teachers and principals have a lot to learn in a constructive way because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not done it before.â&#x20AC;? For more information on the Safe Schools program, visit www.safeschoolscoalition.org. au. Those in need of immediate assistance can phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.

CULTURAL diversity is something to be proud of. This is why the Endeavour Hills Library held an International Mother Language Day event on Tuesday 23 February, where people from all over the local community were invited to celebrate cultural diversity. This is certainly important in the City of Casey, where the population is increasingly diverse, with people with a plethora of different cultural backgrounds moving into the region regularly. Earlier in the month the Endeavour Hills library held a special Community Purchasing Afternoon, where books from the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinese collection were put on show.

Narelle, the Endeavour Hills Library manager, enjoyed the special day.

Jessica helps Nilupa in telling a story sang in Sri Lankan.

Cultures draw on diversity GREATER Dandenongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diversity will be in the spotlight next month. Cultural Diversity Week runs from 12 to 20 March and Harmony Day falls on 21 March, and both are designed to promote community harmony, awareness, understanding and mutual respect for all people. Greater Dandenong will host the Harmony Festival: Step into Our World in Harmony Square on Wednesday 16 March, from 4pm to 8pm. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be an international dress parade, a multicultural concert and community stalls. Mayor Heang Tak said events like these showcased the rich range of customs, histories, foods and faiths that made Greater Dandenong an interesting and vibrant place to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our city is proud of the diversity we embody, and we love to celebrate not only what makes us all different, but all the wonderful things we have in common," Cr Tak said. The festival has been organised by Springvale Neighbourhood House with the City of Greater Dandenong, Monash Health, Victoria Police, Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre and South East Community Links.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

PROPERTY MANAGERS ARE IN THE KNOW OWNING an investment property is a great financial move, one that can provide a steady stream of income for many years according to Ray White Noble Park director Allison Grant. “Whether you have a single unit or an entire portfolio of houses for rent, a huge part of ownership involves managing and maintaining your assets,” she said. “When it comes time to fill your properties, you want to make sure they’re as enticing as possible. “The best technique for making your asset a home that people will want to rent is to put yourself into the shoes of potential tenants. “Think about what features of a home you would look for, should you be house hunting. “Building up a reputation as a good landlord can make your investment property journey much easier so placing your rental

homes in the hands of an experienced professional is a smart move. “While it will cost you a percentage of your rental income, using a professional property manager to keep tabs on your investment will take much of that stress off your hands.” Harry Li of I-Sell Group Springvale said most people realise that property management is an important area, but what does it entail? “It includes finding tenants for the landlords, making sure rents are being collected, that both landlord and tenant are satisfied and that the property is being kept in the right conditions,” he said. He said as with most areas of life there were different levels of experience and expectations but it was important to look for a quality property manager who really looked after the property and was responsible for it.

Harry said it was important to meet with a prospective property manager and find out what services they provided. He said longevity was vital as it could be a challenging role. And while landlords may be tempted to “save some money” and manage your own property Harry explained that this could sometimes cause more headaches than it was worth with agents offering experience in picking tenants and dealing with the other time-consuming factors involved in renting property. Barry Plant Dandenong department manager Steve Kitney said there were important questions to ask a prospective property manager and not just the price and when they can start but questions that will uncover what level of service landlords can expect. “What you really need to know is how many properties do the

agency handle,” he said. “A small boutique agency might have 150 properties but with the smaller amount comes less experience; a large agent might have 1000 properties.” He said it was important for landlords to know how many properties agents managed, with 200 being a good number to ensure landlords were getting the best service for their investment. Mr Kitney said asking who would be handling the property and how long they had worked there was also important. He said many agents had a high turnover of staff. Mr Kitney said it was important to look for stable staff at a pro-active agency ensuring not only continuity but that someone would be invested in making sure properties were handled correctly and any potential problems were addressed early or before they come up.

RISING THROUGH THE RANKS Industry ranking reveals LJ Hooker Hampton Park is among Australia’s best - securing a position on Australia’s prestigious 'Top 50 Sales Offices’ ranking and cementing them as one of the country’s best real estate offices. After a stellar performance over the 2015/16 financial year, the agency has been ranked 42nd in the country. The ranking, published by Real Estate Business (REBonline) is determined by a number of measures including, sales volumes, staff efficiency, the number of listings and sales conversion numbers. The Hampton Park office was one of 11 LJ Hooker offices featured on the list, almost double that of any other network on the list. This achievement further cements LJ Hooker as the leader in excellence in real estate. Agency principal John Deo said the ranking proved that the agency was always striving to achieve the best result for their clients. “We are committed to our customer and

assisting them through their real estate traction in a stress-free and enjoyable way,” he said. “I’d like to thank the team at LJ Hooker Hampton Park for all of their hard work, without the skilled, knowledgeable and experienced staff this award would not be possible.” The network's CEO Grant Harrod praised John and the entire Hampton Park team claiming the title was recognition of the office’s attitude towards superior customer service. “Being named in the Top 50 best real estate offices in the country is a colossal achievement for LJ Hooker Hampton Park and is a testament to the office's commitment to their local community,” Mr Harrod said. “LJ Hooker is the most recognised brand in real estate; however, it is the professionalism and dedication displayed by offices like Hampton Park that makes LJ Hooker the most trusted.”

View of disadvantage By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG Evening VIEW Club has helped children to escape from disadvantage through education for the past 30 years. The organisation’s national councillor Trish Brooks spoke to 60 guests at a celebration to mark the milestone at Dandenong RSL on 1 March. She explained that the Voice Interests and Education of Women (VIEW) movement supported the Smith Family’s Learning for Life program. “To break that cycle of disadvantage, it has to be through education,” she said. Ms Brooks recently attended a university graduation ceremony for Learning for Life students who achieved degrees in such subjects as medicine, science and engineering. “It just shows the end result of all the fund-raising that you do,” she said. Shirley Constantine and her neighbour Gwen Matthews are the only founding members still involved with the group. “I had just finished my degree at Monash University and I was a bit at sea and looking for something different,” she said. “I went down to the interest group at the Dandenong Town Hall and there was my neighbour, Gwen. We went independently. “They fired us up with the idea that this was a group for women and an opportunity for women to develop themselves professionally.” Ms Constantine said Rotary didn’t take women at that time. She’d left her purse at home so Ms Matthews lent her the joining fee.

The club's youngest member Natasha Barry, right, with her aunty Annette Nugara, grandmother Beryl Barry and mother Kaylene Barry. 151037 The inaugural meeting was held on 4 February 1986 in the St Mary’s Church community centre. “I’ve been president more time than I could count,” Ms Constantine said. “The first president moved away from Dandenong before the end of the first year and because I’d been fool enough to say I’d be vice presi-

dent thinking ‘I won’t have to do anything’ I very quickly had to move up.” She said most of today’s members were retirees and she’d like to see that change. “We’re trying to get younger people in because that’s how you keep things alive,” she said. “I was here for the first meeting

and I hope I’m not here for the last one.” Hallam’s Natasha Barry, 20, is paving the way. She attends with her mum Kaylene, grandmother Beryl and aunty Annette Nugara. She joined two years ago “to get away from the boys” and enjoys the friendship. The club’s president Dianne Black has been a member for 22 years and reminisced about various dinners, outings and activities. She recalled Christmas pantomimes, particularly a member playing the part of a baby in Sleeping Beauty, complete with an oversized and coffee-stained nappy. They knitted garments for the underprivileged during ‘baby month’, dined at teddy bear picnics, and held a baby photo competition where members had to “try to pick which of the darlings transformed into the wise ladies at the meeting”. “I enjoy the night out with the ladies. They are all very friendly and it’s great to know that we’re supporting a worthy cause,” Ms Black said. “There will always be underprivileged people that need help.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Mental health work push stress,” headspace CEO Chris Tanti said. “There is a strong connection between mental health issues, unemployment or risk of unemployment.” Headspace chief operating officer Kathleen Alonso said youth who came into a centre could be referred to the eheadspace service, and vice versa. She said it would help to get unemployed youths in the south-east back into employment. “What we will be doing is building strong relationships with industry to facilitate placements of young people in genuine jobs,” she said. “Through the eheadspace platform we’ve been piloting an approach and now we’re able to take it full-scale and we are seeing great results from that.” Ms Cash said headspace was among the first 20 organisations to receive Em-

The cash will enable headspace to take its world first Work and Study service around the country through its online portal eheadspace.

powering YOUth grants to help vulnerable young people into sustainable employment - “proven organisations on the ground who already have a track record of getting young people ready for jobs”. “It is unacceptable that there still remains a 12.7 per cent youth unemployment rate across Australia,” she said. She said the key was “working with organisations to think outside the box and ensure that we are properly targeting youth who are at risk of being long-term unemployed”. Liberal Bruce candidate Helen Kroger said the initiative was “going to create more jobs for young people in Dandenong”. “It’s the rubber on the road that makes the difference and this is the rubber on the road,” she said.

By CASEY NEILL AUSTRALIA’S newest abattoir is sending beef around the world and bringing jobs to Dandenong South. Australian Meat Group (AMG) opened in Hammond Road last July. “It was an existing site for an abattoir so most of the approvals were already in place, so that made it easier,” managing director Gilbert Cabral said. “It was a shell. We picked up a shell so it saved us some planning costs for approvals. “It made the process to fit out the existing abattoir and build the extension a lot more rapid. “The previous owners (Castricum Brothers) were operating an export lamb program here, so we had to raise most of the rails and most of the processing areas and some of the roof had to be raised to handle the larger carcasses. “This is probably the newest plant in Australia. “It’s very automated and it’s got a very good, strong base for automation to build on. “We’ve got a very strong cold chain management program, which gives you your shelf life.” The shelf life is important for the export market, which makes up about 80 per cent of AMG’s sales. “We have licences to export to many countries, including America, Japan,” Mr Cabral said.

AMG has another plant in Deniliquin for lamb and sheep but saw Dandenong South - known as the gateway to beef hub Gippsland - was “more of a beef area”. “We’ll draw cattle wherever we need to draw from and depending on seasonal supply,” Mr Cabral said. “We can do all breeds for different markets.” The plant can process 2500 cattle each week. “We’ll continue to build that up as our customer base grows,” Mr Cabral said.

AMG was a newly-formed company. “We were formerly owners of a company called Tasman Meat Group,” he said. “We sold to a multinational. “After a period of non-compete we’ve come back into the industry. “We’re a fresh new team but we’ve got extensive experience in the meat industry. “Our senior team is all ex-Tasman - our CFO, our sales manager and our livestock manager are all ex-Tasman. “Now that we’re back we’re going back to our old customers.

“They come and visit the site and see what we do, how we’re doing it.” The plant is running one shift and employs 250 people but is set up for a second shift and plans to grow to 400 workers. “My father was in the meat industry so I basically followed him,” Mr Cabral said. “I love it. “It’s been a great industry for me. “It’s good to develop the processing side and export product around the world, and speak to a lot of producers.”

BOMBARDIER’S Dandenong factory is leading the way in light rail. Australasian Railway Association’s (ARA) Light Rail Conference and Exhibition delegates toured the site on 23 February as part of this year’s event. Bombardier Transportation’s Australian managing director Rene Lalande led a journey through the design, engineering, manufacturing and servicing stages for Melbourne’s FLEXITY E-Class trams. “Bombardier is Australia’s only manufacturer of light rail vehicles, delivering local products for local conditions,” he said. “Light rail is an attractive and advantageous solution for Australia’s growing cities. “It is a fast, clean and convenient transport mode proven to benefit citizens, local economies and the environment.” Bombardier first introduced the FLEXITY EClass trams onto the Melbourne light rail system in 2013 and has now delivered 32 of the original 50-tram order to operator Yarra Trams.

Concerns Abbotts Road closure will be business block By CASEY NEILL CLOSING Abbotts Road in Dandenong South would cost jobs, businesses fear. “We already have a couple of companies who’ve said they have difficulty attracting workers to Abbotts Road because they don’t want to spend half an hour in the evening in a traffic jam trying to get out, or in the morning,” South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden said. “If that’s already a road block, this is literally a road block.” It came to light last week that the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LCRA) planned to build a road link over the Cranbourne rail line connecting Remington Drive to Pound Road, and close Abbotts Road. It cited safety and money as the

main factors and did not put forward any alternative plans. “We were all blindsided by that,” Mr Boden said. “Our expectations were a number of solutions, of which this was one. “We do not support this solution. “We support Remington Drive, we do support Abbotts Road.” Mr Boden said the LCRA could be “far more creative in trying to find a cost-effective solution than you can in a residential area”. He suggested a single-lane overpass that brought traffic into the estate in the mornings and out in the evenings. “It would improve the situation, it wouldn’t solve it. It’s just a thoughtbubble,” he said. Team Systems managing director Shane Poulton said his business was next to the railway crossing.

He said he was concerned about property devaluation and being unable to lease it in the future, plus traffic. “If I am required to go to Hammond Road I will need to go through two bottlenecks - Remington and South Gippsland - instead of one,” he said. “It will take at least one hour to go up Abbotts Road onto Remington and down South Gippsland after 2pm or 3pm. “If it is late in the afternoon and I am coming back from Frankston Dandenong Road, I would be better to park at the end of Abbotts Road near the train crossing, park and walk across the tracks. “I would imagine this would be taken up by couriers, and a great deal of locals needing to visit someone at this end of Abbotts Road. “How ironical, someone gets run over after the level crossing has been

removed.” Mr Poulton said morning traffic would bank up on the South Gippsland Freeway exit at Pound Road, making exiting the freeway dangerous. “The Remington Drive extension will have major issues with large trucks entering and leaving the type of existing businesses that occupy them, causing bottlenecks,” he said. “My understanding is that Daniel Andrews promised to remove level crossings not put up brick walls. “This should not be counted towards the government’s numbers as the crossing will not have been removed. “It will be destroying businesses and affecting the main industrial growth corridor for businesses in south-east Melbourne.” Arco restaurant’s Lindsay Bull slammed the LCRA over a poorly-at-

tended information session which was held at Nissan on Friday 4 March. “After returning to my restaurant and seeing people who have businesses and property sitting at tables having breakfast, my question was ‘why didn’t you attend the LCRA meeting?’ - ‘I didn’t know about it’ was the answer from all,” he said. “We as business and property owners are concerned that if you cannot organise a simple meeting date and time and place, how on earth are you going to organise a major program of removing crossings?” He urged the LCRA to build the Remington Drive link and reassess safety at the Abbotts Road crossing. “We cannot make a knee jerk reaction just to find three years down the track it was an error to close Abbotts and try and reopen it. The damage to region will already be done,” he said.

IT’S now back to school for many young people with the commencement of university programs and the beginning of new pathways. Former Mater Christi student and Belgrave resident Isobelle Caterer has entered the course of her dreams, film and television at Swinburne University. “I love the artistic world, especially the magic that is film. “I’m so excited about this course where I can immerse in the industry and explore my and others’ creativity in this generation of filmmaking,” said Isobelle. As a passionate drama student, Isobelle also received a VCE Season of Excellence Award in Top Class and will be

performing on 21 March at The Arts Centre, Playhouse Theatre. Isobelle was among many students recently recognised by Mater Christi for their high achievements in 2015. The college prides itself on developing strong, resilient young women who will thrive in whatever path they choose. “We continue to be affirmed by the diversity of achievements as evidenced by students attaining scores of 40 or higher in 28 different studies as well as by the array of pathways being pursued. “Overall 94 per cent of our students were offered tertiary places,” said principal Mary Fitz-Gerald. Students were offered places

in courses as varied as engineering, event management, interior design, animal and veterinary bioscience, nursing, legal practice and film and television. “The diversity of pathways is very exciting and reflects the adventurous spirit of our girls as they pursue their individual goals and aspirations. “It also reflects the opportunities and breadth of programs available to the students while at Mater Christi,” said Mrs FitzGerald. Mater Christi is inviting visitors to tour the college on International Women’s Day, Tuesday 8 March between 9am and 2.30pm. Details of other tour dates are on the college website.

SOME people may not know they have bipolar disorder because they’ve never been diagnosed. Loved ones may also battle because they don’t understand the intricacies of the illness. This week a community information night, convened at Berwick Healthcare by the Melbourne Bipolar Network (MBN), started to address these issues. The night was organised by Ray Farrelly, a volunteer from the Melbourne Bipolar Network, which has a support group that meets in Berwick monthly. Moderated by Emma Higgins, a Learning and Development Consultant from Mind Australia, the inaugural Berwick information night included presentations from Psychotropic Drug Advisory Service pharmacist Christine Culhane, Grow Clinic founder and perinatal psychiatrist Adaobi Udechuku and Eastern Health Peer Support co-ordinator Paula Kelly. Bipolar disorder can be traumatic for the friends and family of those with the illness, which can result in episodes of depression and mania and induce a multitude of stresses. Mr Farrelly said there were more than 3000 people in the City of Casey who suffered from bipolar disorder - 1500 of those reportedly undiagnosed. “Melbourne’s got 55,000plus people with bipolar disorder and half of them are undiagnosed, so the focus on an evening like this is the undiagnosed and their families and carers,” he said. “So we’re hoping to get the sort of people who we don’t

mental health sector for more than decade and is passionate about helping others through education and discussion. “I had a lot of people help me on my journey, and I started getting involved in the mental health sector,” he said. “My motivation is to help people.” The Melbourne Bipolar Network is a non-profit charity set up in 2008 and run by volunteers, which organises a support group at Berwick Healthcare on the first Tuesday of every month.

Champions get together By JARROD POTTER BIGGER, strong and wiser the second time around, Mason Peatling had the ultimate end to his junior representative basketball journey - winning a second national championship. Taking his place once again in the Victoria Navy line-up, Peatling, 18, from Berwick, was one of sixth Victorians to go back-to-back at the Basketball Australia Under-20 Championships after a 91-61 grand final victory over Victoria White. The second championship was made all the more sweet for the Dandenong Rangers forward/centre as he shared it with so many familiar faces from his inaugural 2015 Victorian campaign. “It felt fantastic - great to do it with the same bunch of guys that went around last year,” Peatling said. “It’s funny, the whole year they’re your competitors, but you come together for a couple of months and play together for a week, then you’re champions forever and you remember that. “Second time around... we had the same coach, same assistant coach and team manager and physio - so it was special to do it with them again and it’s the last time to do that for most of us. “Even though it was back-to-back, it was the last time for a lot of us, too, which is special in itself.” Peatling said part of his great oncourt efforts came from a year in the Rangers’ SEABL ranks - as taking the big defensively assignments last season did a world of good for the dual national-champion. “It was a bit of a different tournament than last year - coming into it I was a lot better prepared physically,” Peatling said. “I sort of looked around and there

weren’t any SEABL imports to guard or anything like that - I think SEABL has definitely prepared me really well for this tournament and there was nothing that I wasn’t capable of handling.” Coming off the bench, Peatling’s task was more defensive than scoredriven and the 200cm relished the opportunity to square off against the rest of the nation’s best scorers. He took on the tougher challenges, with his main defensive highlight coming against South Australia where he racked up 15 points but, more importantly, he helped to turn a seven-point three-quarter-time deficit into a 98-86 victory. His tallies were irrelevant; Peatling only sought out team glory. “The thing about my tournament, there wasn’t one particular game where everything sort of happened - there were games where I scored three or four points, or even none, but I did everything I had to for the team,” Peatling said. “I didn’t stuff the stat sheet in any particular game but that one (South Australia) showed my emphasis, my intensity and what I needed to do for us to win a national championship. “I felt that when I was on the court my defensive presence really helped us and with the added responsibility I probably performed a little bit better individually.” Fellow Rangers Matt Owies and Chloe Bibby also reaped national championship victories in a very successful week for the Victorians. For now Peatling is back at Dandenong until the SEABL bye round and hopes to take whatever he can from the next few months before jetting off to the states for his freshman season with Eastern Washington University.

Brittany scores with shift to south-east By JARROD POTTER SOUTHERN United completed its risingstar forward-line with Brittany DudleySmith slotting into the pink-and-blue attack. Dudley-Smith, 22, is well known in south-east soccer circles, as she was one of the Casey Comets’ marquee players in the 2014 Women’s Premier League, and is now back in the region after signing on with the newly formed club. “It’s amazing - being close to home and I know a lot of the girls and playing at Casey actually helped as a lot of the Casey girls are here and I know how they work and we bounce off each other so it’s awesome,” Dudley Smith said. “It’s definitely a risk I had to take but I love it. “I love seeing fresh faces and what talent is out there and it’s amazing how much the girls have grown in talent as they come up through the ranks.” Higher ambitions drove Dudley-Smith to South Melbourne where she became an integral part of the championship winning side in 2015 as she booted 19 goals. She was set to continue with South Melbourne but with the reigning champions not included in the inaugural NPL Victoria Women’s competition, DudleySmith decided to stay in the top flight as part of the south-east consortium. Dudley-Smith will join up with former South Melbourne team-mates Saphri Lines and Tiffany Eliadis in Southern’s forward line and in many ways it was their insistence that got the New Zealand striker

to sign on with the pink and blue. “Tiff and Saph asked me to come down and have a bit of a trial and at the start as umming and arring, but now I’m here I’m excited to start the season with the new team, new club,” Dudley-Smith said. “I know how Tiff and Saph play up front so hopefully it will be a dominant three.” The NPLW season kicks off on Sat-

urday for Southern United and DudleySmith is ready to make her mark on the new competition. “It’s nerve-wracking but I’m more excited than anything,” Dudley-Smith said. “We’ve been training out at Mornington, which is lovely as they have amazing pitches - and training at Casey as well and we’re ready to go. “I think Southern this year, we’re the

underdogs at the moment, but you never can fault the underdogs. “It’s good with this new league coming up - you don’t know where the teams will end up ... everything is new so I just can’t wait.” She’s also joined up with a Southern United consortium club to coach as Dudley-Smith will take the reins of a Mornington junior girls team.

Teams aim to claim top prize FINALS cricket has descended on Greater Dandenong over the weekend as Dandenong District Cricket Association (DDCA) started the march towards the premiership. Springvale South was the only Dandenong-area Turf 1 team in the hunt for the premiership and battled Heinz Southern Districts at home. Turf 2 is better represented by the locals as Keysborough battles St Marys in an all Dandy derby while Doveton North, Buckley Ridges and Springvale South are all in the mix to knock off minor premiers Beaconsfield in T3. With the Journal’s Sunday afternoon deadline, final results from the semis were unavailable at the time of print, but all cricket results will be available on the Dandenong Journal website - www.dandenong. starcommunity.com.au from Monday morning.

Bears and Bloods on track

By JARROD POTTER

Heinz Southern Districts’ Matt Downe cuts past a ring of Springvale South fielders in the Picture: JARROD POTTER DDCA Turf 1 semi-final. 151182 wick (9/213), led by a strong start from Premier recruit Nathan Pilon (66). Berwick weathered the tough conditions early to cash in, despite losing early wickets to Steve Spoljaric (3/55). After Pilon’s input, the middle order consolidated around Ryan Crawford (38), Jack Williams (35) and Josh Holden (31). Cam Kelly (3/51) took crucial middle order scalps to keep the target down. TURF 2 St Mary’s (106) and Keysborough (9/88) might go the distance after a wicket-laden day one. Yoshan Kumara (3/31) and Gayan de Silva

(3/45) set the stage for a small chase at Coomoora, but Keysborough’s batting completely fell apart. Ruwantha Kellepotha (32) was the best of a sorry bunch as Corey Ely (4/25) and Cameron Roberts (2/21) seared through the Knights, leaving only Abhinay Motupalli (3no) and de Silva (5no) to chase the remaining 17 runs for victory on the first innings. Narre North (154) has something to work with following a late-order charge from Ben Doran (56).

Everything’s just Dandy in NPL 2 East By JARROD POTTER NPL VICTORIA 2 EAST - ROUND 3 DANDY delight swept through the town as Thunder and City walked away with comprehensive NPL 2 East victories. Dandenong Thunder continued its merry mayhem, booting a 4-1 win over visiting Murray United. It took a while to get going, but Thunder broke the deadlock via a familiar name on the scoresheet this season. Amir Osmancevic (38’ and 72’) opened the accounts with the only score in the first half and while it took a while to get going, the Thunder stole the show in the final 25 minutes. Veton Korcari continued his scoring spree with the well-capped Thunder legend given too much space as he slotted Thunder’s second for the evening and his third for the season. Osmancevic’s sixth of the season was the icing on the cake as the black-and-red army roared for another goal on home turf. Murray put the first goal past Frazer Maclaren this year late in the clash as Zac Walker finished off nicely in the 85th minute, but immediately gave it back through an own goal. Ladder leading Thunder will travel to Box Hill United for the match of the round - a first versus third thriller on Saturday afternoon. Dandenong City had a wonderful trip to the Goulburn Valley and drove off with a 3-0 whitewash. Halil Gur (7’) opened the accounts before

Gonzalo Freddi (31’) made it 2-0 at the break. Speedy forward Chris Antoniadis (54’) extended the margin to keep Goulburn Valley on the back foot. The Suns hadn’t set for the evening by then though, as Dandenong City keeper Damir Salcin had to work hard to save a penalty in the 72nd minute to emphatically keep his clean-sheet. City sits sixth on the ladder with a 1-1-1 record ahead of its Saturday afternoon clash with Brunswick City. Springvale White Eagles will play Kingston City away on Monday night and hoists Eastern Lions on Saturday afternoon. In the WNPL season opener, Southern United accounted itself well in its inaugural outing, but despite an early lead, the pink-and-blue brigade couldn’t hold off Box Hill United in the 1-2 result. Southern United will play its maiden home game at Lawton Park, Langwarrin on Sunday at 3pm against FC Bulleen Lions. In FFA Cup Round 2 qualifiers, Noble Park United lost to Sunbury United 0-3, Hampton Park Sparrows were bested 0-1 by Upfield, while Endeavour Hills Fire claimed a 2-0 win over Lyndale United and Keysborough SC also defeated Old Melburnians 2-1. Dandenong Warriors were set to play on Sunday afternoon after the Journal went to print.

VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET - ROUND 17 (Day 2) FINISHING the year on a high note, Dandenong (252) beat Greenvale Kangaroos (105 and 4/169). The Kangaroos had to fight hard in the second innings to prevent the outright victory, but in the end the Panthers’ returned to form to bow out with a comphrensive triumph. Outside of Harry Dearden (47), the Kangaroos were ripped apart by the Dandenong quicks as Justin Butterfield (5/42) capped off an extraordinary season with his third five-for. The haul takes Butterfield to 40 wickets for the Premier season. Butterfield’s young apprentice Adam McMaster (4/23) had a phenomenal return to form as he found Adam Amin’s (1) edge before he castled James Rosewarne (0) first up. Butterfield and McMaster continued their antics throughout the day. Narre North debutant Josh Dowling (1/9 and 1/56) was miserly in the first innings and alongside fellow debutant Comrey Edgeworth, it shows just how far Dandenong’s young talent extends. Looking for an outright to cap off the season, Dandenong sent Greenvale back in, but the Kangaroos brought their best in the second innings as Amin (79) and Dearden (56) put on 136 for the first wicket and played out the overs. James Nanopoulos (3/31) was the best of the bowlers. The result leaves Dandenong 13th overall down one spot from last season - which is a disappointing end in many ways for a side that was there or thereabouts for most of the season.

DDCA - SEMI-FINALS (Saturday Results) SPRINGVALE South (2/38) was on the verge of a Turf 1 grand-final appearance after the first day of DDCA semi-finals. TURF 1 With a chance to get back to the grand final and avenge last year’s defeat, Heinz Southern Districts (168) had a horror start to lose Trevor Davies (0) instantly. The skipper Matthew Cox (65) held on as long as he could, but had little to work with throughout the order. It looked like Cox and Brad Downe (16) had resumed where they left off last time at Harold Road - putting on 65 for the second scalp - but Downe became the first of Malinga Bandara’s (4/64) victims. The middle order amounted to a minor obstacle for the Bloods to work around, as Cox succumbed after a gutsy half-ton to... Bandara. The former Test spinner had free reign over Heinz as field crowded around the lower order. Bandara called for silly mid-on, silly mid-off, slip, leg slip and a catching point to threaten the tail and it paid off. Ryan Patterson (25no) flayed a few over the top to try and keep the Cobras moving, but eventually ran out of partners as Bandara and Jarrod Armitage (3/30) cleaned up the tail. It wasn’t all one way traffic though; Heinz took two massive wickets late on day one, getting rid of Michael Vandort (1) and Nathan King (2). Harry Staude (22no) and Mitch Forsyth (9no) held on to leave 90 overs to hunt down a spot in the grand final; potentially the Bloods’ first finale since the 2013/14 loss to Parkfield. Cranbourne has been set a lofty target by Ber-

Doran’s knock saw off the worst of Dingley (1/70) - especially Jasenthuliyana Chathuranga (4/26) who had 15 maidens in a diabolical spell. TURF 3 TO 5 Beaconsfield (186) set an imposing target for Doveton North (1/21) after a strong start from Gehan Perera (54). Doveton North still has plenty to do after losing an early wicket, especially against the Tigers’ fleet of bowlers. Buckley Ridges (9/288dec) on the other hand had time to spare for a declaration as Suren Ekanayake (78) and Jake Cronin (85) flourished against Springvale South (2/27). It would take a miracle for the Bloods to book its spot after losing early scalps. Springvale (185) is extremely well placed against Dandenong West (5/6) in Turf 4, following a resounding knock from number three Thilanka Harsha (69). Harsha’s knock - especially in tandem with Pasindu Madushan (23) to set the stage for a strong tally, surprisingly only taking 49.2 overs. Dandenong West fell horrendously - especially at the hands of Randeep Sahota (4/22) to be 125 off the pace with five wickets in the sheds. Parkdale (124) is up against it defending its meagre tally from Lynbrook’s (2/37) advances. Chris Wilkie (36) was the best of the Dales’ brigade, but Lynbrook had plenty in the tank via Stephen Veal (3/20) and Jesse Walia (3/35). Berwick Springs and Doveton didn’t get under way in Turf 5, while Buckley Ridges’ (7/136) thirds already has defeated Dingley (122) with great bowling from Farhan Hussain (4/35).

Pair run to the next level By JARROD POTTER TAKING their athletics to the next level under the tutelage of Corey Pendry, a pair of Greater Dandenong runners will test their mettle against the best in Victoria. Springvale Little Athletics all-rounder Bambino Moukassa Warel, 14, from Springvale, and Dandenong Little Athletics sprinter Krish Rajavel, 12, from Endeavour Hills, are off to the Little Athletics State Track and Field Championships after exceptional regional results recently. The Pendry Development Squad tandem flew around the Murrumbeena track at the recently held South Met-

ro Region Track and Field Championships. Moukassa Warel won gold in the high jump and 100m sprint and has taken plenty away from his time with the Pendry squad. “Everything went pretty well - I had ups and downs because I was training, as I’ve just started this season, so far everything has been good and I’ve been training with Corey and I’ve met such amazing people,” Moukassa Warel said. “Corey is an amazing coach and I’m thankful for that. “I’m looking forward to state so I can smash it out -

I’m going to state which I’m happy about.” Dandenong’s star sprinter Rajavel picked up the under-12 girls 200m and 400m titles and is confident she can back up her achievements at the state level. “It was unbelievable and really cool,” Rajavel said. “I came first in the 400m and I think my best event is the 400m - also came second in the 100m and first in the 200m. “I really want to win (at the state championships) so I’m going to try my best.” The state track and field championships will be held at Casey Fields on 19-20 March.

Krish Rajavel and Bambino Moukassa Warel are on the fast track to the state championships after great runs at the regionals. 150849 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Players show their shine By JARROD POTTER

Dulnath Hendawitharana played a crucial semi-final innings to help his SSV team make the Picture: JARROD POTTER under-15 national cricket grand final. 151137

THERE was plenty of silver success for a local School Sports Victoria under-15 cricket tandem at the recently held national championships. Dulnath Hendawitharana from Noble Park North and Cornish College paceman Jakob Woinarski featured in the high-ranking side at the School Sport Australia (SSA) national championships in Queensland. The side was only pipped to the post by New South Wales Green, leaving the SSV lads with a respectable second-place

finish at the hard fought championship. Spinning all-rounder Hendawitharana saved the best for the finals as his start to the carnival featured a couple of 20s with Victoria Metro moving into the final four. Hendawitharana was the glue that held the Victorian middle order together in a heroic semi-final victory against Queensland. His gutsy 85-run stand with Triyan De Silva revived the Victorian hopes after the side fell to 5/20 early on. Hendawitharana smacked 75 in an emphatic

fight-back, hitting eight boundaries and a monster six, that pushed the side along to 203 by stumps. The bowlers seared through Queensland to book SSV’s place in the final. He didn’t have as much luck in the final, though, making 12 as the side fell for 135 from 45.5 overs, only to be chased down by New South Wales with nearly 20 overs to spare. Woinarski claimed nine wickets at the carnival with a best return of 3/33 against New South Wales Green in the opening round of the competition.
