Looking for clues

Police have released this image of Rani Featherston, who was murdered in Doveton in April 2014.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD ALMOST two years after her murder, new evidence in the killing of Doveton’s Rani Featherston has been released by police. Rani was found dead with multiple stab wounds in Lace Street, Doveton, about 7am on Wednesday 2 April in 2014. Homicide detectives understand the 34-yearold was heard speaking to a man in nearby Oleander Street overnight between 1 and 2 April, hours before her body was found. “We’ve had information provided that Rani had been speaking to someone in the street and we believe that was a male,” Detective Senior Sergeant Steve McIntyre said. “We’ve got a male voice, described to us as being engaged in a conversation with Rani overnight on the night of her death, at this stage we don’t have any other details about that person. “There’s no indication that the voice was engaged in an argument, it was a calm voice from what’s been described to us. “We don’t know whether this is a person of interest to the actual murder or someone who is a witness who can give us some further information about Rani’s movements on the night.” Detectives have also released a photo of Ms Featherston as well as CCTV footage of her in

Police conduct a search of the drains in Doveton. a business premises in Robinson Street the day before her killing. Police set up an information caravan on Thursday and also conducted a search of the drains in Oleander Street. “We’re re-focusing from our earlier searches we conducted in the area of Lace Street where the murder took place, just in the chance that a

weapon or some other item of interest might still exist in the drains,” Det Sen Sgt McIntyre said. He said police had had information about the male voice “for some time” but were working through a number of other avenues of inquiry and “this is where we’re at at this stage”. “It is concerning, particularly for the local residents of the Doveton and Eumemmerring area,”

Det Sen Sgt McIntyre said “We just don’t have any answers for them and we don’t have any answers for the family at this point in time. “Her family are struggling with her death, they’re looking for answers.” Any information to CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.

‘Radical’ solutions heard at inquest

Fear of beheading

Numan Haider - “In a split second he was on me.“

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A FEDERAL Police agent has told a coronial inquest that he was certain that teenage terror suspect Numan Haider was “going to cut my head off”. In his witness statement, Officer B told the Coroners’ Court on 17 March that Haider had attacked him soon after they met and shook hands outside Endeavour Hills police station on 23 September 2014. The agent had been looking inside a silver car that Haider arrived in when his Victoria Police colleague asked Haider to empty his pockets. Officer B heard Haider question why that had to be done, and then heard a yell. When the officer looked up, he saw Haider holding a knife. “In a split second he was on me.”

Then Officer B “shut down”, according to his statement tendered to coroner John Olle. He had no audio perception, he couldn’t tell if he was being stabbed or slashed and in what order things were happening. He recalled his eye bled heavily, the blood ran down his face but he didn’t feel pain. Haider then moved around behind Officer B’s head. The agent went down to the ground and reached for his gun but could not release it. “I remember thinking at the time Haider moved behind my head that he was going to kill me. “I had known of a fatwa from a few days before suggesting that AFP and military should be killed and beheaded. “All of that went through my mind as I was on the ground.” Had a Victoria Police detective not shot the at-

tacker “I am sure that Haider would have cut my throat and cut my head off”, Officer B stated. That detective “certainly saved my life”, he stated. Officer B’s “first audio” recollection was of the fatal gunshot which felled Haider instantaneously. Officer B was taken to The Alfred hospital with a stab wound to the centre of his chest, requiring surgery to his liver. His shoulder muscle had been cut in half by two other stabs and was sewn together. He required a full shoulder reconstruction. The officer was also cut over his left eye and down a side of his face. “I don’t think we could have done anything else than what we did,” his statement said. “There was just not any time to react.”

TERRORISM expert Greg Barton is informed by 27 years’ expertise in Islamic political thought and movements. He had no simple, easy answer on why teenager Numan Haider was apparently radicalised and stabbed two police officers before he was fatally shot in front of Endeavour Hills police station on 23 September 2014. “There’s a risk in everything we do, including not doing something,” he said. Professor Barton appeared at Haider’s coronial inquest at the County Court on 11 March. Rachel Ellyard, counsel assisting the coroner, posed to Professor Barton that this might not have happened had Haider not been aware of police interest in him. What if his room had not been searched by police without his permission on the day of the attack or what if police had not been intent on meeting him that same day, she asked. Maybe this “pushed” Haider into doing something he “might not have been prepared to do”, Ms Ellyard said. Professor Barton told presiding coroner John Olle that police tried to do the right thing. They followed up on something they were concerned about. “They did not rush into arrest, did not prejudge,” he said. “It was well intentioned and appropriate.” But “knowing what we know now” perhaps police could do things differently, he said, such as eschewing uniforms and making meetings with at-risk teens as low-key as possible. Eighteen-year-old Haider was allegedly told by his family and ASIO officers to quit visiting Al-Furqan Islamic Centre bookshop in Springvale South and not to associate with a certain friend who attended Al-Furqan. Al-Furqan was formed by Sheik Harun Mehicevic who had earlier been thrown out of a Bosnian mosque in Noble Park. Professor Barton said a “troubled” Haider appeared to be part of a circle of friends who gathered at the bookstore, perhaps out of “youthful rebellion”.

Cop’s response to home-grown terror

1202687-PB45-15

A FEDERAL agent has described to a coronial inquest how he discovered teenager Numan Haider was shot in the head in front of Endeavour Hills police station on 23 September 2014. Officer C, who can’t be identified, told the Coroners’ Court hearing on 16 March that two colleagues in a joint counter-terrorism taskforce agreed to meet Haider in the car park on the evening of the shooting. One of those members - a federal agent ‘Officer B’ - returned into the station’s foyer soon after, clutching the right side of his head. Officer C saw from a monitor inside the station that the agent was distressed, and ran to the foyer with another federal agent. In the foyer, he saw a large gash on the side of Officer B’s head and asked a female citizen to phone triple-zero. Officer B said something to the effect of “he’s been shot”, Officer C stated to the inquest.

Another federal agent, Officer D, stated to the inquest on 16 March that he also ran to Officer B in the foyer and found him bleeding from his head and stomach. “Haider went to shake my hand and then he just stabbed me,” Officer B allegedly told him. Officer C then went to the car park and found the other JCCT member, Officer A, standing and his weapon drawn. Officer A - a Victoria police detective - was facing Haider, who was lying on the ground on his back about four metres away. Officer A, who said he’d fired the fatal shot, indicated that his shaking, cut left arm had been stabbed by Haider. “The crook stabbed me,” Officer A said - or words to that effect - according to the statement. Haider had a large “trauma wound” to his head and appeared dead, Officer C stated. Officer C believed at the time Haider was holding a metallic object the length of a ruler.

The JCTT had allegedly requested the meeting with Haider to talk about the teen yelling and waving an Islamist banner in Dandenong Plaza five days earlier. They also wanted to ascertain his security threat level, Officer C stated. It was decided Haider would be met in front of the police station by a Victoria police officer and a federal police agent to build rapport and check him for weapons. Two other JCTT members, Officer C and another federal agent, would wait inside. “We didn’t want to intimidate Numan by having all four of us in the car park,” Officer C said in a statement tendered to Coroner John Olle. “We wanted a low key, softly-softly approach, in particular given that we didn’t have the power or the basis to arrest Numan.” About 7.32pm, Haider phoned to say he had arrived and was waiting in the car park. His arrival was sooner than anticipated and “caught me by surprise”, Officer C said.

Don’s life of hope lives on By CASEY NEILL PASTOR Don Cameron sewed a prevailing hope into the Dandenong community. “That hope continues in a lot of people. He showed them that there is something bigger.” These words from Shane Varcoe, Don’s friend of more than 10 years, joined an outpouring of grief and gratitude following the Cornerstone Contact Centre co-ordinator’s shock passing on Sunday 13 March. His death at age 45 came just a month after doctors found fast-spreading cancers throughout his body. “Both him and I are Christians and very strong in our faith,” Mr Varcoe said. “It informed our heart for the community and our heart for people. “This was not a job for Don. “This was a mission and one that was about people.” Don devoted 25 years of his life to Cornerstone, becoming involved before the Dandenong outreach service even opened its doors. “It wasn’t really an organisation. It was a movement,” Mr Varcoe said. “It continually evolved. It always was inclusive. “That’s the beauty about what Don’s done, is that it doesn’t end with Don. “The hope has been instilled not just in the people, but in the process.” Former Cornerstone coordinator Pastor Max Walker remembers meeting a 20-yearold Don.

NEW M ROO SHOW W NO OPEN

“I saw tremendous potential in him,” he said. “I mentored him and fostered him up until I left Cornerstone in 2010. “I earmarked him for the takeover when I left and he lived up to every expectation that I had. “He had a real empathy for people. He always went the extra mile for them. “He visited people in jail that no one else would go and see.” Mr Walker said Don mentored many teenagers, some who were now Cornerstone volunteers. “Anybody who came through the door, it didn’t matter what state they were in, he treated them with respect,” he said. “I’m proud to be his friend and mentor.” He said Don also had a mischievous sense of humour and was a good practical joker. “We’ll miss his smile, his sense of humour, his love for the people of Dandenong,” he said. The Cornerstone board said that Don invested his life in others and his legacy was profound. The man likely to step into the co-ordinator role, Pastor Michael Eggleton, said Don was full of love and compassion. “His example remains for all of us,” he said. “He was always looking out for the homeless, for the needy, and was always ready to help them.”

The City of Casey and City of Greater Dandenong each paused for a minute during their Tuesday 15 March council meetings to reflect on Don’s contribution to the community. Cr Jim Memeti said his endeavours to provide swags to the homeless must have saved many lives. Cr John Kelly has looked after the plumbing at Cornerstone for several years and said Don was “a beautiful man”. “We’re lucky that we had this man within our city,” he said. Cr Matthew Kirwan said: “If only we could achieve so much in our lifetimes as he achieved in a short 45 years.” Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said Don’s smile said it all - positive, caring and reassuring. “He maintained those qualities even as he confronted the seriousness of his illness,” she said. “I enjoyed a few Facebook exchanges with him last week and he was positive - positive about the future of Cornerstone and upbeat about his own journey.” Cards to Don’s wife, Jo, and two daughters can be sent to Cornerstone Contact Centre, PO Box 358, Dandenong, Victoria, 3175. A memorial service to celebrate Don’s life will be held at Faith Christian Church, 307 Gladstone Road, Dandenong North, at 2pm on Wednesday 23 March.

Pastor is still watching over me LISA Yates has suffered more than her share of hard knocks - just about every one you could imagine. Staunch supporters were rare at her many rocky points, but one was Cornerstone’s late pastor Don Cameron, the Dandenong South mum said. Over the years he had written her letters of support to the Department of Housing, donated and delivered a bed, and was safe counsel when she was bashed by a former partner. In one of his testimonies in 2013, he stuck up for her as she sought to move from a cramped one-room bed-sit to a larger home.

“She feels helpless as she can’t find another place to live,” Mr Cameron wrote. “I am hoping that you will be able to help her find more suitable accommodation so she can return to her normal healthy self.” Ms Yates’s partner Jason said he was able to get his life on track because of Mr Cameron’s unyielding support. “I gave him a lot of bad attitude but he was always there to help,” Jason said. One of Ms Yates’s prized possessions is a hot-pink Bible that Mr Cameron gave her two years ago. “He’s amazing. He was

Enquiries 9793 3898 Glenn Munso (left) has been a brother and a mentor to Nick Arena.

NICK Arena was already waiting for Glenn. After several years battling drug addiction, 25-year-old Nick knew something had to give. Nick’s mum had told him about Glenn, a Hallam-based personal trainer who had recently started up the Youth You program to help and guide disenchanted youths in the throes of drug addiction. Within hours of speaking to his mum, Nick drove to the Hallam warehouse and was waiting for Glenn before the personal trainer got there. That was just over a year ago. “I signed up straight away,” Nick told Star News. “That night I came straight away. I was in a s*** position, I didn’t know what to do and where to go. “But I got given this opportunity and I just took it.” Nick admits his life reached close to rock bottom before he could accept the realisation that something had to change. Since the age of about 18, Nick had been using drugs, including ecstasy, speed, marijuana and ice, and he said he honestly reckoned he be dead if “I didn’t start the program”. Glenn helped Nick acknowledge how much “stress and hurt” he felt he’d put on his mum and his girlfriend at the time, and as hard as it was to confront his demons, Nick believes it was the only way to save himself. “When I first met Glenn, he gave me a sheet of paper and I had to write down why I was here, wanting to do the program,” Nick said. “That was really confronting, it was really hard to read it.”

However, since joining the program more than 12 months ago, Nick has changed his life for the better. He hasn’t used drugs in over a year, he hasn’t touched a cigarette in almost a year and he’s working hard as a builder while pursuing his passion for jiu-jitsu. Nick is just one of the success stories to have emerged from Glenn’s program. Glenn, 28, is a former drug dealer and addict, himself, who started the Youth You program in 2014 while also running his gym. The Youth You Program currently caters for about 20 kids who participate in a weekly mentoring session with Glenn as well as gym classes three times a week. Glenn ensures he is constantly contactable for them via his mobile phone and a private Facebook group. He said the incredible personal development of early members of the group like Nick had now allowed them the capacity to help Glenn in passing on their lessons to others. “I’m so impressed with how far he’s come, he’ grown mentally and spiritually,” Glenn said of Nick. “He’s following his passion, doing jiu-jitsu. “He’s raised the standards of his life.” Nick looks up to Glenn not only as a mentor but as a brother, and he’s eager to help others in the same way. “If I can help these guys and they can help other people, it’ll be like a ripple effect,” Nick said. To contact Glenn, visit www.youthyouprogram.com. Those in need of immediate assistance can phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.

JACK JOHNSON IS THE AUTHOR OF WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES, A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN DANDENONG, HIS YEARS TENDING TO THE CITY’S PIPES AND DRAINS AS A PLUMBER AND BRINGING UP A FAMILY WITH WIFE FRANCES IN THEIR BELOVED HOME IN MACPHERSON STREET.

Holy hill was home for town's churches IN 1936 we watched Dr Hart’s home Benga being built on land in McCrae Street. That land backed onto Laurel Lodge in Langhorne Street. It was the only vacant piece of land remaining in the block bounded by McCrae, Langhorne, Foster and Wilson streets and an area originally referred to as Church Hill because it contained St James Anglican Church, St Mary’s Catholic Church and on the corner of Foster Street and Langhorne Street opposite St Mary’s original church, the Presbyterian (Scott’s) Church. The front of the brick Presbyterian Church faced Langhorne Street. A weatherboard hall ran across the back of the church and was entered from Foster Street. The church tennis courts were on the corner of Foster Street and Pultney Street and the tiled-roof weatherboard manse sat on the hillside next to the tennis courts in Pultney Street facing the park.

BACK JACK JOHNSON

Today the whole area where the brick church, the hall and the tennis courts were now contains the new Metropolitan Law Courts. The only other house between the manse and the unmade end of Wilson Street was a timber house set high on the grassy-banked track of Pultney Street. It was a mixture in style between Victorian and Georgian with later additions of Federation. It had a long corner verandah, an iron roof and fancy rendered chimneys and similar columns along the verandah. Miss Taylor and her sister lived there. The front wire fence was com-

pletely engulfed by a variegated privet hedge. We found that house to be a good place to flog school raffle and concert tickets and we were often sent there by the nuns to get bunches of Easter daisies for decorating St Mary’s Church for the Easter ceremonies. The rest of the land in Pultney Street east of Foster Street was vacant and adjoined the police property in Wilson and Langhorne streets. On the angled corner of Pultney Street, facing into Lonsdale Street, was the grocery shop of Mr Evans, one of the first places we would go for tobacco for dad and Uncle Gordon. Next door to Mr Evans was Kelly’s motor and carriage paint shop. Kelly’s carried out the painting and sign writing on vehicles from the coachbuilders in Walker Street across from the town hall. They were skilled and their scroll

work and signage on the carriages and wagons was a work of art. Today we would call them commercial artists or graphic designers. I think there was originally a bootmaker in one of those shops on that corner which may have been part of the remains of Cobb and Co. The open brick drain had gone through part of their property. On the Wilson Street end of the block that made up the area called Church Hill was the St James Anglican Church built in 1864. Along with its associated buildings, it still remains today, plus a memorial porch which was added after World War II. Of the three churches on this block called Church Hill, St James is the only original one. In 1857, seven years before the erection of St James Church, a fence was erected around the three acres on

the opposite corner of Langhorne and Wilson streets on which the original police camp was pitched. A short time later a timber building was erected which included officers’ quarters, a watch-house and a lean-to used as a stable. When we were kids the police station was still a weatherboard building and the home of the police sergeant. The two-storey brick one came later. To the left of the police station stood the old handmade brick jail, stables and loft which still remain today and are heritage-listed. On the end of the loft gable is a wooden door with a large beam cantilevered out from the wall above it. On this beam hung a hook and pulley for hauling bales of straw and bags of chaff and oats into the loft storage area. It was on this beam the big kids told us they hung crooks.

Visit leaves a bad taste By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE proprietor of a restaurant in Hallam has been stung with a $10,000 fine and 150 hours of community service after pleading guilty to 37 charges for not complying with the Food Act. The proprietor of A Taste of Italy, located in Spring Square, faced the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last month in relation to 43 charges of non-compliance under the Act. The charges included seafood being stored in a dishwashing sink, mouse excrement found in cupboards, and food being stored in tea towels in such a way that presented the

possibility of cross contamination. The proprietor pled guilty to 37 of the charges and was convicted and placed on a 12 month community corrections order in which they are required to undertake 150 hours of unpaid community work. The proprietor was also ordered to pay part of Casey council’s costs, fixed to the amount of $10,000. “Council takes food safety seriously and continues to be proactive in ensuring that food sold in Casey is safe and suitable for human consumption,” Mayor Sam Aziz said.

“Council is committed to working with the local food industry to ensure compliance with the Act, undertaking regular food inspections and conducting free food safety information sessions throughout the year to protect the health and safety of our local residents. “Council urges all food business operators to ensure they’re aware of and are adhering to the strict legislation and requirements under the Act, or expect to face hefty penalties.” For more information regarding food safety and regulations in Victoria, visit www. health.vic.gov.au/foodsafety.

Council’s bid to turn right, wrong By CASEY NEILL RIGHT hand turn bans in central Dandenong could be on their way out. Greater Dandenong councillors will write to the Roads Minister seeking an urgent review of the bans at Foster and Lonsdale streets with a view to removing or modifying them. Councillor John Kelly successfully moved a notice of motion on the issue at the Tuesday 15 March council meeting. The letter will also include

a request for a review of traffic and pedestrian movements along and across Foster Street between Lonsdale and McCrae streets and suitable traffic treatments. “The officers have fought and gone into bat for us for two or three years over this intersection,” Cr Kelly said. “It certainly is frustrating. “I hope the minister can take this on board. “I hope that after all these years that we can get something to happen that will be of benefit

to the community.” Cr Kelly said his concern was with the right-turn ban from Foster into Lonsdale in the morning peak. In the afternoon, the southeast bound queue extends beyond the pedestrian crossing in front of the Dandenong Civic Centre. “When that occurs, the congestion blocks traffic from Walker Street turning into Lonsdale Street, resulting in lengthy delays to all traffic, including buses,” Cr Kelly said.

Street at the centre

Good for little behinds

"APEX Street, Dandenong North, seems a world away from the brawls, car jackings and armed robberies linked to a street gang of the same name. This tidy, quiet neighbourhood has few problems, apart from a household's termite outbreak and a general water outage. Residents who spoke to Star News are puzzled how the Apex Gang emerged. The first they'd heard of the gang - and the link with their address - were news reports of the affrays that marred Moomba on 12 March. Seyjohn Gunaratna said he hadn't detected any "trouble" since he moved into the street six years ago. He'd once heard of a shop break-in several blocks away. Danni Tabbaa was also oblivious to the street's crime connection. She was particularly annoyed by the publicity's timing, just as her family are trying to sell their unit. "Hopefully our buyers don't watch the news," she said. Greater Dandenong councillor John Kelly said residents - as well as a lot of good people in African communities - had been unfairly tarnished by the gang's misdeeds.

THE City of Casey is holding a free expo on how the modern cloth nappy can benefit local families and the environment. The annual expo aims to promote cloth nappy use and showcase the different brands, styles and benefits of cloth nappies. There will also be organic foods, sustainably produced toys and other green products for sale at the event on Saturday 19 March, from 9am to 2pm, at the Casey Civic Centre. Casey mayor Sam Aziz said the council advocated for the use of cloth nappies due to their environmental and financial benefits. “Disposable nappies, which are made mainly from oil, a non-renewable resource, wood pulp and a host of different chemicals, contribute more than two tonnes of waste per child to landfill, which take hundreds of years to break down,“ he said. Casey offers a monthly rebate draw for residents who purchase cloth nappies. “If they send in their receipts for cloth nappies, they have a monthly chance to win half of their purchase price back, up to the value of $300,” Cr Aziz said.

Images of the frightening scene on Swanston Street on Saturday night. 151529 Picture: South east crime page. It reminded Cr Kelly of the long-gone though still notorious 3175 gang, which named itself after Dandenong's postcode. "Generally (Apex Street) is a nice little street and the people there are good people.

"As residents we&rsquo;re sick and tired of their brutality regardless of their nationalities and ages.' Cr Kelly said one incident like the brawl could undo the council's hard work to build a positive reputation for "our city". "If one is found guilty of these crimes they should pay the price for their action - heavier jail terms and even deportation." Police say the gang began with young South Sudanese people in Dandenong. Its members have been charged with a fatal hit and run, car jackings, armed robberies and home burglaries in recent months. A mass of arrests landed the gang's ringleaders in Parkville juvenile detention late last year. They have since been released and the spates of car thefts and burglaries have started again. In a blog on 16 March, Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said Apex broadened when it merged with another gang; its members crossed several ethnic groups. Most members were born in Australia. "But if people think their police are going soft on gangs because they are of one ethnic background or another, they are wrong."

New hope for redemption for Apex members By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1220599-KK11-16

A YOUTH services director says Apex Gang members are far from a “lost cause” in response to calls for the deportation of offenders involved in Moomba brawls, car jackings and home burglaries. Warren Eames, a Dandenong- based services director at YSAS, said they should face the consequences but “simply washing our hands of the problem is short-sighted”. “I would hope our first instinct is taking responsibility collectively as a community for those young people to find a

positive path. “Surely our community can cope with supporting those young people.” The Apex Gang, whose members are reportedly as young as 12 and from a range of ethnic backgrounds, have been linked to spates of aggravated burglaries, armed robberies, car thefts and an alleged culpable driving incident. Violent brawls between Apex and Islander 23 gangs marred Moomba in Melbourne’s CBD on 12 March. The affrays prompted Premier Daniel Andrews to declare:

“It does not matter who you are, your circumstances, your background, if you break the law you feel the full force of the law.” YSAS helps young people across a range of cultural backgrounds get back on track, including Apex members and others before the courts. Mr Eames describes the recent “against the odds” success story of a young asylum seeker in Melbourne’s south-east, who was “struggling” with similar issues. The youth was nursed through a year of schooling with the help of a support network in-

cluding YSAS. He graduated as “student of the year” at his high school. Mr Eames said that there was often complex health and social issues underlying their clients. “There’s no question when there’s that type of affray (during Moomba) and offending it has absolutely got to be policed. “But the bigger challenge for the community is how we understand the root cause of that sort of disengagement. “What’s led good young people down that type of offending?” Young refugees can struggle

to settle, Mr Eames said. They have to make the transition into mainstream education, fit into a new culture and find their own identity. Most adapt really well but a “cohort” struggle to get along and take part in the community, Mr Eames said. Their income is low, their employability is limited and they find it difficult to find a way back into the system. “They are not only isolated from the mainstream but from their own communities and families.”

Applied to English By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS VITAL facts on English classes are fingertips away for asylum seekers in the south-east. The newly-launched English for Asylum Seekers’ Network app answers a crying need for an accessible up-to-date list of the scores of Englishlanguage class tutors and providers in Greater Dandenong. The app was developed mainly by volunteers at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre and led by project manager Andrea Kenny over the past six months. Ms Kenny adapted a schools app template for an easy-to-use list for students, tutors and class providers. It lists classes by location and by day of the week, with individualised maps and photos to help find the venues. The information is thoughtfully translated into a host of languages with

details on class costs, class levels, child care, website links and contacts. There are several handy applications for this app. If there’s a last-minute class time-change or cancellation, students can be sent notifications on their phone. Suitable alternative classes can also be found in seconds, if necessary. When time-tabling, providers can look up class times across the region to ensure there are no clashes. Ms Kenny has further volunteered to keep the app’s listings up to date, and to send out timely notifications. ASRC training co-ordinator Simon Dalton said no one had the time to put such a handy resource together until Ms Kenny’s intervention. “A lot of our clients have phones, and their phones are their life-savers. “They allow them to get in touch with their families back home, on plans that allow them the maximum time to

speak to their families.” Mr Dalton said in the past, the task of keeping clients posted on their classes was “a bit of a mess”. “There was just so many people and information changed so often - we needed to be digital.” Tutor Nora McClosky had called for the co-ordination of the region’s hodgepodge of English classes for the past 10 years. “We’re making history,” she ebulliently told the launch party. She described the app as an important “first step”. There was talk of Monash Health developing a more comprehensive - and expensive - app in the next two years, listing all asylum seeker services in the region. The EAS Network app is available at the App Store (Apple) or Play Store (Android).

The Squishies Flat Faced Cat Rescue group have posted the reward on Facebook, along with a photo of the missing 13-year-old cat named Mabel, who was last seen at her foster home in Cantala Court on Friday 19 February. “Mabel has been missing for three weeks now, and we are absolutely distraught,” the post reads. “There have been no sightings despite extensive searching and flyer dropping. “We are offering a $1000 reward for Mabel’s safe return, no questions asked. “We just want our girl back.” Mabel is microchipped and de-sexed, and it’s believed she could be hiding under or around homes, or in gardens, sheds or garages. “We are worried, sick and desperate to find Mabel,” the post states.

Treatments are well tolerated without lengthy recovery times. Leg Veins: As we age valves in our leg veins become less efficient, so less blood is pumped back from the legs. this means blood vessels in our legs become larger, darker and more visible. Smaller vessels can be improved by Nd:Yag laser using a precisely calculated pulse of laser energy directed to the leg vein vessel being treated Glycolic Peels: If laser therapy is not for you there are other options! Glycolic Peels are a specific technique for skin renewal that help remove the damaged layer of surface skin cells revealing fresh skin, stimulating cell turnover and encouraging anti-aging effects in the skin layers. A series of glycolic acid peels can help the skin appear healthier, smoother, plumper, firmer, less oily and more even toned. All treatments are tailored to the individual and are safe, effective and affordable! Dandenong Dermatology Centre offers your first assessment consultation for free! To arrange an appointment just call 9791 3455.

The home also has three separate living areas, and has the added bonus of both an alfresco and balcony for additional space. The stand out feature of the Como 390 is the spacious bedrooms that all feature walk-in wardrobes for added luxury to everyday living.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Heated crossing forum By CASEY NEILL FIVE options are now on the table for removing the Abbotts Road level crossing. But businesses are calling for plans to close the Dandenong South thoroughfare to be canned. Arco Restaurant hosted an industry forum on the issue on Thursday 17 March. Owner Lindsay Bull has been outspoken on the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LCRA) plan revealed late last month to close Abbotts Road and build an overpass connecting Remington Drive to Pound Road West. He said the forum was quite heated. “We got a pretty good turnout, it would have been over 100 people,” he said. “Everyone was up in arms about the whole way it started. “They gave options of how to fix it now.” Mr Bull said four variations on overpasses and underpasses were presented - as well as the closure. “That needs to be taken off the table,” he said. He said he suspected a “hidden agenda” was driving that proposal and that one forum attendee asked an LCRA representative about the au-

The Abbotts Road level crossing. 151661 thority’s objectives. “He gets paid on every crossing that gets removed or something done to it,” Mr Bull said. “His opinion is going to be to fill his back pocket rather than what’s right. “It’s political and all about the dollar-factor now. Mr Bull said he wasn’t feeling any better about the situation following the meeting.

“We need it done now and not six months to 12 months,” he said. “One guy is trying to negotiate his lease now. “He told them it’s all on hold until he knows what’s going to happen. “Businesses can’t operate like that.” Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said some of the options put forward would require land acquisition and that a high water table was providing challenges.

“I’m not invested in any one option. The LCRA will say the same,” she said. “This process did not start in the way any of us wish it had. “We’ve now reset that process. We’ve got everyone to the table and listening.” Ms Williams said it was early days in the consultation process. “We’re just putting what we think are the five options on the table and seeking feedback for those,” she said. She said doorknocking would soon take place, along with studies and surveys, and that industry groups would come back together mid-year as part of stage two. “Think about this as a step one of a much broader set of work that needs to be done around improving connectivity in Dandenong South,” she said. “This isn’t the start, middle and end. This is one particular project that relates to that level crossing. “What it does is shine a light on those other connectivity issues.” She said further money to address other issues could become available in the future, and urged industry to work with her. “All of that knowledge can actually be really well-applied to this process and beyond this process,” she said.

Resources offer secure career moves By CASEY NEILL AUTOMOTIVE workers will be among the 20 people starting new jobs at a Dandenong South production facility. Industry Minister Lily D’Ambrosio officially opened the new $5 million 3fold Resources site on Thursday 17 March. She said it consolidated the company’s manufacturing, warehousing and project management under one roof. Ms D’Ambrosio said 3fold Resources provided design, sourcing,

manufacturing, installation and ongoing support services and warehousing for store fit-outs with Wesfarmers among its high-profile clients. She welcomed 3fold adding 20 workers to its 100-strong team, particularly those from the automotive industry. “By hiring workers from the auto industry 3fold Resources will benefit from the expertise of these highly skilled local workers,” she said. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams encouraged manufacturing businesses in the region to apply for State Govern-

ment financial assistance to grow their businesses and create new jobs. “3fold Resources is a great example of a thriving manufacturing business in Melbourne’s south-east,” she said. The 3fold Resources managing director Peter Vanderzaag said the facility would integrate local manufacturing with importing materials, so major retail chains could deal with just one organisation. “We have explored many options but have found the most appropriate supply chain is the one we are launching today,” he said.

“It allows our customers to take advantage of overseas cost benefits whilst having access to local manufacturing to meet specific design requirements and bespoke solutions.” Mr Vanderzaag said the retail sector accounted for $292 billion of the Australian economy and that retailers were looking for a point of difference in their fit-outs and must keep up with global trends. “So we have invested in a solution that will allow for unique retail environments to be implemented in a timely and cost-effective way,” he said.

Dandenong company in running for train delivery By CASEY NEILL A TRAIN order boost could bolster jobs in Dandenong for years to come, industry insiders say. The State Government announced on Tuesday 15 March that it would nearly double its high-capacity train order from 37 seven-carriage sets to 65. Dandenong’s Bombardier Transportation is in the running to deliver the project, with Eureka Rail and Evolution Rail the competition and an announcement expected late this year. Greater Dandenong Council’s business group manager Paul Kearsley said the announcement was a commitment to the local supply chains and would certainly assist in the transition from auto industry to other industries such as rail. “We look forward to Bombardier being the successful tenderer at the end of the process,” he said. “Council looks forward to participating in any way it can to assist Bombardier and the State Government to ensure manufacturing stays in Dandenong South and the region.” Mr Kearsley said that Bombardier missing out on the contract was “not a matter that the region would really want to contemplate”. “The facility at Bombardier is the only Australian-based true manufacturing assembling facility for trains,” he said. “To lose that opportunity to expand its role within Victoria and Australia would be a really missed opportunity. “Once you lose that facility, what you lose is all the skills. “We would hope that the supply chain in the region would be able to assist either one of the two other parties.” South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) executive officer Adrian Boden said the order was a “continuation of the long-term approach so needed by the manufacturing community”. “Obviously it would be hugely important to the area if the contract was awarded to Bombardier and that the current workforce was not only maintained but increased over time, as well as the considerable flow-on effect to the supply base,” he said. “The 50 per cent minimum local content is already well established within Bombardier and I am sure that, with the increased purchase commitment, it will be that much easier for Bombardier to improve on that level. “We can only hope that other State Governments recognise the opportunity to purchase their transport needs in Australia and support and sustain our industries with long-term commitments.” Premier Daniel Andrews said the new trains would start arriving in 2018 and immediately reduce congestion on the Cranbourne Pakenham line, Melbourne’s busiest. They will be longer and able to carry more people with each trip.

ENTERTAINMENT

Push bike ride days are back THE ever popular push bike ride days at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit are back for Easter. “We were extremely pleased with the amount of riders we had the last time we ran the days over the holidays so we thought it would be a great opportunity to allow even more people access to the circuit during the school

holidays,” said managing director Fergus Cameron. “In fact, it wasn’t only the numbers that pleased us, it was the diversity of groups as well. “We had family groups, older riders, serious riders, fitness fanatics and riding clubs. “The track can accommodate all

these groups together because it is extremely safe with no cars. “It’s wide enough for passing and challenging for the fitness fanatics because of its sweeping straights and long demanding undulations. “You won’t break any lap records on the 4.5 kilometre circuit however you will enjoy the safest and most

picturesque location to ride your push bike on Phillip Island,” Fergus said. The ride day for Easter is Saturday 26 March from 10am-1pm. Register at the visitor centre from 9.30am-12.15pm. There is no need for riders to book, they just turn up on the day 30 minutes prior to the session at the visitors’ centre to purchase a ticket with their own

bike and helmet. It’s best to arrive early and make the most of the time on this world famous circuit. So get a bike, helmet, family and friends and head straight to the track. For more information phone 5952 9400 or visit www.phillipislandcircuit. com.au.

Dog attacks unleashed By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A SPIKE in local dog attacks has Casey Council on the front foot. The City of Casey has responded to 44 reported dog attacks since 1 January including one in which a young girl suffered serious injuries to her neck and shoulder and another where a teenage girl was bitten on the face. “The attacks have resulted in injuries ranging from minor bruising, puncture wounds, lacerations requiring stitches and in one case the death of an animal,” Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said. “In one instance, a small dog was attacked by two large dogs being walked by a child and young teenager who were unable to control them. “This serves as a reminder to ensure whoever is walking a dog is able to control them. “The council is disappointed in the number of attacks this year and is urging all pet owners to take the necessary steps to avoid any more occurring.” Late last year Star News spoke with Naomi Taguchi whose small papillon dog Koji died after it was attacked by another dog in Cranbourne. The attacking dog, which

Mum Naomi Taguchi with daugters Ayana (17 months) and Soraya (3) and their injured family dog Koji who died soon after this photo was taken. 146154 resembled a bull mastiff, was euthanized. Ms Taguchi, who had her young children with her at the time of the attack, sprained her ankle during the incident. “I started moving to get away and then my legs were pushed out from under me,” she told Star News. “And the next thing I knew the dog was attacking my dog which was on top of me and I had pulled the pram down with me and my daughters were screaming hanging upside down strapped into the pram.” Dog attacks can result in fines as large as $18,240, crimi-

nal convictions and a jail sentence of up to six months. “In addition, depending on the severity of the attack, there may be a requirement to destroy the dog responsible for the attack to ensure the future safety of the community,” Cr Aziz said. “It is important that all pet owners act responsibly and play their part in ensuring that their pets are secured so they don’t pose a risk or threat to the community. “It is the dog owner’s responsibility to ensure that a dog is confined to the owner’s property at all times.”

All abilities shine through “WE DON’T all have the same set of abilities and wouldn’t that be boring? “We can all shine together,” guest speaker Simon McKeon told guests at the annual Wallara Dinner under the Stars on Thursday 17 March. The evening started with canapes in the courtyard at Wallara’s Potter Street headquarters in front of the restored and heritage-listed Sword family home. “Phil was taking me through this house and all of a sudden I realised it was a home I played in with a very dear friend 55 years ago,” Mr McKeon said. Wallara executive officer Phil Hayes-Brown said the site was among the first to combine disability with aged care by also housing Wintringham. “I remember standing here five years ago and it was dirt,” he said. Dinner and entertainment at The Castle - where Wallara first started supporting adults with different abilities in 1959 - followed. Wallara clients formed Waiting for the Bus last year after singing to pass the time while waiting for their bus home. They dressed in bright ’70s clothing and wigs to perform ABBA’s Dancing Queen to rapturous applause. Wallara clients showed off the public speaking skills they’d learnt through the Wallara Ambassador Program and several videos highlighted how the organisation was helping people with different abilities to live the life they chose. Mary Kay Australia and New Zealand’s business operations director Catherine Hron spoke about appointing Wallara to handle all storage, warehous-

Simon McKeon and his sister Di Bulman. 151760 ing and orders for the group in 2014. “As soon as I saw the work Wallara was doing, my heart wanted to partner with this great organisation,” she said. Mr McKeon said he’d encountered some not-for-profit groups that were past their prime, but Wallara was not one of them. “I don’t see any sign that it’s wearing out past its use-by date,” he said. “I have never come across a part of this organisation that isn’t what I call ‘best of breed’. When then-Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced him as the 2011 Australian of the Year, Mr McKeon said his proud older sister Di Bulman shouted “yes!” Ms Gillard asked him if he knew the excited audience member. “I said ‘yes, she’s my sister and I think she’s a very important reason why I’m up here now,” he said. His divorcee parents started their life together in Dandenong, his mum’s daughter Di

in tow. Di, who has intellectual and physical challenges, reminisced about attending Girl Guide meetings at The Castle. She told the Journal that she attended both the Dandy West and East schools during her childhood and later worked washing film in her father’s chemist shop, which was now a milk bar. Mr McKeon remembered the town bourgeoning on market days and manufacturing giants lining Princes Highway. “It really was the most beautiful place to grow up,” he said. His parents were heavily involved in the community, often hurrying him through dinner so they could clear the table to make way for hospital plans or something else. “My father helped to set up the Dandenong Club,” he said. Mr McKeon said he didn’t like using the word ‘disability’. “It connotes the idea of defects. I just like thinking about ability - what is possible,” he said.

Thrills as blood spills By JARROD POTTER DDCA TURF 1 GRAND FINAL REVIEW BEYOND extraordinary. It’s a match without compare in local cricket history and nor will it ever be surpassed as the most thrilling end to the DDCA Turf 1 season. The greatest finish a cricket season has seen unfolded at Keysborough as Springvale South (138 and 87) was beaten by Cranbourne (65 and 5/163) in a Turf 1 reverse-outright thriller. It started horrendously for the minor premiers before the game as import spinner Malinga Bandara had his Supreme Court appeal quashed and his DDCA tribunal misconduct charge upheld. It didn’t get better for the Bloods early on Saturday after losing Nathan King (8), Harry Staude (0) and Dylan Quirk (12) for next-to-nothing as Martin Kelly (3/24) and Steve Spoljaric (2/30) chipped away at the top order. Craig Slocombe (21) went from belting the stuffing out of the attack to succumbing to Chasemore in a quickfire knock that left the side spinning at 4/71. The initiative was left to Sri Lankan import Michael Vandort (58) who braced himself and held on. In the end the Bloods managed to work their way into the clash through a remarkable lower order partnership. Mitchell Forsyth (16) played out of his skin to hold on with Vandort as the duo added 26 for the seventh stand. Vandort raised the bat for his 50 but soon fell to young leggie Cam Dinger (3/24) after an impressive 176-ball occupation of the crease while Forsyth carried on with the tail to add the final few drips to the Bloods’ bank of runs. The fading light only renewed Springvale South’s hopes as the openers went on the warpath.

Sringvale South's Nathan King leaps for joy early on day two of the DDCA Turf 1 grand final. 151517 Pictures: JARROD POTTER Jarrod Armitage (7/20) was beyond sensational in his first-up eight over spell - cannoning through Brayden Roscoe (1) before finding the edge of Jake Harrington (6) and Wookey Medallist Matt Chasemore (1). Lucas Ligt (4) set himself to see out the remaining overs and held on throughout the chaos unleashed by Armitage, Tim Ford (1/4) and Nathan King (0/6). Craig Slocombe saved his ace for the last over of the day, though, bring-

ing on his young part-timer Brayden Sharp (1/0). Sharp managed to flight a leftarm miracle, taking arguably the biggest wicket of his career to get rid of the dogged Ligt, caught brilliantly by King. Spoljaric (20) and Stuart Plunkett (12) were left to see out the day but both would struggle early on day two. Everything was primed for Armitage to begin a day two rampage as he shattered Cranbourne’s hopes ... or at

least everyone thought he did. The sun baked the deck and Armitage flayed all and sundry. Armitage seared through the Eagles to take a grand-final seven-for and give his side the first innings victory and what most people assumed would be the game as the last runs were squeezed from Cranbourne to get to 65. Cranbourne, somewhat begrudgingly at first, returned to the crease to try for one last miracle. That miracle came in the form of young spinner Dinger (6/44).

In tandem with Chasemore (1/21), Dinger rattled through the Bloods’ attack and set the stage for a race to the finish. When everyone else was getting ready to wave the white flag, Dinger picked off Nathan King (7) Dylan Quirk (12) and Harry Staude (9) then captured the prized wicket of Craig Slocombe (5). With 27 overs or 10 wickets for Springvale South and the Twnety20esque chase of 161 for Cranbourne, not much hope was given for Cranbourne in the second innings and it started slowly through Stuart Plunkett (9) and Brayden Roscoe (16). But that was all part of Spoljaric’s (61) master plan - saving himself and Chasemore (59no) for first and second drop to let the openers get the shine off the new ball. It worked to plan as Spoljaric showed his calibre on the big stage yet again. He was primed for another masterclass at the crease as Spoljaric began unloading on the tiring quicks. Spoljaric thumped five sixes down the ground to send the Bloods scrambling to all points on the rope as King (0/60), Matt Wetering (0/13) and Armitage (1/58) copped a pasting off the Cranbourne champion. But when he chopped on against Slocombe, the match took one last twist. It left 49 to get off only six overs but that wasn’t a problem for Chasemore (59no) who lit up Keysborough with the second barrage of boundaries. He was joined by miracle-man himself Dinger (10no) who slapped one of his first balls into the rope to cut the deficit to 18 runs off 20 balls. Chasemore finished the job with a whopping six before sealing the deal with a four to start the celebrations.

Father-son rule Turf 3 By JARROD POTTER TURNING the Turf 3 grand final on its head were Buckley Ridges’ father-son combination Shane and Jono D’Rozario. The elder D’Rozario is well-known in DDCA circles - having won on the last day in Turf 1 as well as claiming an Alan Wookey Medal in 2006/07. But the DDCA champion admitted Sunday would be hard to top in his cricket highlights after he celebrated a Turf 3 senior premiership with his 14-year-old son as Buckley Ridges (188) defeated DDCA newcomers Beaconsfield (168). With the cup under his arm and his son under the other, Shane could not have been happier celebrating the season’s end. “Was great to see on this great occasion that will live long,” Shane D’Rozario said. “It’s right up there with winning the Turf 1 flag if not better to share this with my young bloke, so I’m absolutely stoked.” It could have been a different story without both generations of D’Rozario cricketers writing chapters in the Turf 3 history books over the weekend. Arriving with the side in disarray on Saturday afternoon - Shane came to the crease at 6/69 and anchored the Buckley Ridges’ fight-back. He picked the perfect time to get his top score in 2015/16, smashing 74 in tandem with Sojjad Ali (26) before starting a

partnership that he will never forget began to grow. Jono D’Rozario (11) arrived at the crease at eighth drop and united with his dad to put on a memorable 50-run stand. From one D’Rozario to another, it was Jono’s turn on Sunday to spin the match Buckley Ridges’ way. The younger D’Rozario worked his way through Beaconsfield’s batting with a 21 sublime leg-spin overs. He snared 5/56 - including the huge wickets of Brendan Johnson (0), Matt Golding (38) and Mario Perera (25). “Fantastic mate, fantastic - proud as punch of him and this great club,” Shane D’Rozario said. “It’s been years in the making, but to captain the boys is one thing and to put on a 50-run partnership with the young bloke is awesome. “For him to come out and get five wickets in the innings as well - words can’t describe it ... . I’m the happiest bloke going around at the moment.” Jono was similarly speechless but wanted to thank his dad for everything he’s done for him on and off the field. “Terrific, words can’t explain it,” Jono D’Rozario said. “It’s great - to win with these lads - it’s just awesome. “Just want to thank dad for all the years basically and getting me through the hard times.” Shane thanked Buckley Ridges and his family - his wife Michelle, son Jono and daughter Shania - for their love and support.

Shane and Jono D'Rozario belt out the club song after guiding Buckley Ridges to a Turf 3 premiership. 151518 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Cracking Easter races

Dingoes leave Knights By JARROD POTTER

Dingley Cricket Club is ready for what lies ahead in Turf 1 after a comprehensive Turf 2 premiership triumph. Otto (18). Scott Tutton (57no) and up-and-comer Liam Leeson (16) set themselves for stumps and finished the job on Sunday to earn the Dingoes their first DDCA senior flag since joining in 2013/14. “He (Tutton) was professional and the way he went about it and closed it off, but the partnership between him and Liam Leeson on Saturday night, where it was getting dark and tough was incredible,” Sawers said. “Liam is only a 15-year-old kid and for him to weather a storm from Yoshi (Yoshan Kumara) and Kella (Ruwanta Kellepotha) showed experience beyond

his years.” Dingley’s 19-year-old wicketkeeper Mark Fitch got to savour the moment alongside his dad Darren as the pair celebrated a rare father-son Turf 2 premiership. It’s onwards and upwards to DDCA Turf 1 for the Dingoes and Sawers believes it puts the side on the map and can only help them develop further. “It’s just fantastic for us as a club we’re a growing club and we know that Turf 1 basically gives us a chance to draw better players to the club to help develop the youth,” Sawers said.

“I guess it’s just a reward for self-belief among the playing group who were tight on the field but also off the field and had a strong social culture - that’s the most important thing with the side.” It was Dingley’s first senior XI flag since the 2004/05 season in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association. DINGLEY DDCA TURF 2 PREMIERS: Travis Sawers (captain), Ryan McLean, Kent Waring, Christo Otto, Brody Balfour, Liam Leeson, Scott Tutton, Umega Chathuranga, Andrew Dalby, Darren Fitch, Mark Fitch, Jay Jhamb and Flynn Mcgaw.

Major Jackpot launches to a flying start By MICHAEL FLOYD MAJOR Jackpot launched himself into favouritism for the $220,000 group two Launching Pad with a dazzling win in his semi-final on Thursday night. Trained by Anthony Azzopardi, Major Jackpot speared out of box two to set a flying 4.97 to the first split before accelerating away to set 18.41 to the second split - just the second greyhound to break 18.50. He then went on to win convincingly by 7 3/4 lengths in 29.12. Pagan Midnight was a gallant second. “It’s very exciting,” said Azzopardi after the run. “The owners are such great people, they’ve been great family friends for some time and to train a

greyhound like him is a real privilege.” Major Impact showed a glimpse of his potential with a dazzling 13 length win in slick time at Lismore three starts prior. Despite two poor runs in Victoria since, Azzopardi remained confident his charge would put his best foot forward. In semi-final two Dream Edition set the early tempo however looked vulnerable when the powerful South Australian Hukanui settled behind him. Hukanui wasn’t able to get past, however, and fell short to Dream Edition by a 1/4 length in 29.45. Buck Forty produced an enormous run in his heat and repeated the performance in semi-final three.

DDCA TURF 2 GRAND FINAL REVIEW THE Dingoes are on the march to the top grade after an emphatic victory in the Dandenong District Cricket Association’s Turf 2 grand final. Minor premier Keysborough (116) narrowly avoided defeat last week after a reverse-outright triumph but it couldn’t overcome a determined Dingley (6/178) in the finale. The Dingoes rolled the Knights cheaply on Saturday before hunting down the runs with hours to spare on Sunday to seal the club’s greatest victory yet in the association. “Definitely thrilled - I just think the best thing about the win is the junior players from Dingley being involved in it,” Dingley captain Travis Sawers said. “We had eight players who had gone through from juniors to seniors involved in the premiership and had a father-son involved in it as well. “We also had even contribution from everyone each week - we don’t rely on individuals to perform to get success and we have a really strong balance.” The Keysborough top order imploded against Dingley’s new ball specialist Andrew Dalby (4/30) as Dingley seared through the first four for a pittance. The only tandem to show great resistance was Shakeel Ahmad (48) and Yoshan Kumara (19), as the duo worked their way towards tea in a steady partnership before Ahmad was run out by Kumara and from there the Keysborough innings couldn’t regain momentum. Dingley’s difficult chase - hampered by the thunderbolts Kumara (3/27) was flinging at them - was started by the captain Sawers (26) alongside Christo
