Childhood mischief coupled with cowardice put Tom Hartley on a path to great success. The 80-year-old Endeavour Hills resident received a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List on Monday 12 June for service to youth through Scouts and to the community. He was “absolutely thrilled” to receive the nod and pinpointed the moment that started it all. Mr Hartley grew up in Leeds, England, and had a run-in with a vicar over some mischiefmaking. The ultimatum - join the choir or the vicar would take him home to his mum. “Being a coward, I joined the choir,” Mr Hartley said. Through the singing group he met children that he’d seen tending a fire in a park. They told him they were Scouts and he was welcome to join. “I suppose it changed my life,” he said. “I came across other people that cared, particularly my Scout master and he pushed me through to getting my Queen Scout, which opened up a new world for me. “It taught me leadership and teamship, to be resilient, to care for other people and the will to succeed. “I suppose Scouting taught me how to look after kids at first, and then look after and organise adults. “That put me in good stead to run a business in the sense that you’ve got to do all the right things with volunteers or they can quickly leave you. “If you can do it with volunteers, you can certainly do it with paid people.” Mr Hartley’s been a Scouts Australia member since 1956, has served on national and state committees and received honours including Scouts Victoria Life Membership. He started the 7th Doveton Scout group and helped to establish a Hallam group. “Our two boys were both in Scouts, and we hope that our grandchildren will come through,” he said. “I’m still involved in scouting. “I’m vice president of Scouts Victoria.” Mr Hartley arrived in Australia in 1956 as a third-year apprentice toolmaker. He lived with his parents and two sisters in Holmesglen Hostel and then in a Housing Commission home in Doveton, and after marrying Margo lived in Springvale, Hallam and Endeavour Hills. It was through the youth group at St James An-

Council puts the Christ back into its Christmas By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey councillors have voted for the “return” of Christmas, with an overt display of Christianity to adorn its soon-to-open headquarters at Bunjil Place in December. At a meeting on Tuesday 6 June, councillor Rosalie Crestani successfully moved for the addition of a life-size nativity scene with Biblical verse from Isaiah 9.6 in Bunjil Place, declaring it was time to put Jesus in his “rightful place”. “Christmas is returning to all four corners of Casey,” Cr Crestani said. She noted the community had “rough years” recently, linking security fears, crime rates and terrorist attacks including the alleged murderous incident involving Yacqub Khayre in Brighton the night before. Backed by “overwhelming community sentiment”, she said the Christmas message of “hope,
peace and joy” was no better depicted than by a nativity scene of the birth of Jesus. Casey Council estimated the cost of the nativity scene at about $50,000, including installation and storage - though Cr Crestani said such displays could be sourced for “100 bucks”. Among the other features is a bespoke Christmas tree up to eight metres tall in the foyer, at a cost of about $58,000. Christmas carols and seasonal messages will be projected on indoor and outdoor digital screens in the building. There will also be extra Christmas banners and flags, plus possibly illuminated decorations, around the municipality on top of the current $76,000 annual cost. Council staff will also be encouraged to celebrate Christmas throughout all the council’s facilities. The verse for the nativity scene will read: “For to us a child is born/ To us a son is given/ And the government will be on his shoulders.
In Brief Burglar stopped in his tracks A family of four interrupted a home invader during a burglary on their Dandenong home. Two adults, aged 35 and 33, and two children aged under 15 were inside the Seely Street address about 4.20pm on Sunday 4 June. Four people attended in a vehicle the victim described as an older white-coloured Toyota Prado. One, described as Middle Eastern in appearance, knocked on the front door before forcing it open. He stole the keys to the victim’s home and vehicles, a wallet containing bank cards and an iPhone.
“And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God/Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Cr Wayne Smith dissented on the point of adding a nativity scene, saying the additional Christmas tree, digital displays, banners and flags alone had been a “good compromise”. “We’re not ignoring Christmas,” said Cr Smith - who asserted he was a supporter of “multifaiths” including Christianity. “Linking what happened in Brighton to a nativity scene in Bunjil is not fair,” he added. In support of the nativity scene, Cr Gary Rowe said it was time to honour “our Christian heritage”, “our laws” and to enforce laws to their “fullest extent”. No governments should go out of their way to “change our fundamental beliefs” and make “us” apologise for being Australians of European Christian backgrounds, Cr Rowe said. “I can’t stand by any longer seeing us apologise for being who we are.”
Wanted over death threats Kryzstof Chorazy is wanted over death threats, assaults and failing to appear in court. Police are appealing for public help to find the 30-year-old, who’s known to frequent Noble Park, Pakenham and Boronia. They also want to interview him in relation to criminal damage and committing serious offences while on bail. Chorazy is described as Caucasian and 186 centimetres tall with a medium build, blond hair and blue eyes.
Life-threatening crash injuries An unidentified man is in hospital with lifethreatening injuries following a Keysborough collision. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol officers are appealing for witnesses to the Wednesday 7 June crash. They believe a silver 1998 Toyota Camry sedan was travelling south on Perry Road about 7.50am when its driver took a right-hand bend and lost control. Police said the vehicle crossed double lines and collided with the passenger side of a northbound Mercedes van. A 42-year-old man, the sole occupant of Mercedes, was not injured. The man driving the Toyota sustained life-threatening injuries.
Carjackers crash into victims

Axe-wielding carjackers deliberately crashed a stolen sedan into their victim’s car in Springvale. Police are appealing for information about the incident, which occurred about 9.40pm on Monday 5 June. The victims, a 21-year-old Rowville man and a 25-year-old Glen Waverley woman, were in a black Holden Commodore VF with registration ABI 332 travelling on Springvale Road. Police said a stolen red 2014 Toyota Corolla, with registration 1AT 9MT, hit the car from behind and the two vehicles pulled over into Young Street. The victims got out of the Commodore and two men got out of the Corolla, one armed with an axe or similar weapon. The victims handed over their keys when they were threatened and the carjackers drove off in the two cars down to Peace Street, leaving the victims stranded but uninjured.

The only Croatian men’s group in Victoria has been forging friendships in Endeavour Hills since 2011. Not-for-profit Australian Croatian Community Services (ACCS) co-ordinates the group, which mostly has members aged 65 and over. ACCS CEO Franci Buljat recently received news that the City of Casey would continue to support the program with funding. “We value the City of Casey’s commitment to working closely with the Croatian community, many of whom have low English proficiency and often do not take up aged care services such as homecare,” she said.
“Providing a culturally-specific social support program can often be an effective way to engage the community in other aged services. “Unfortunately, our community can leave things until it is too late, which places a higher burden on their families. “Our program supports these men and their families, to access health and age care services.” Program co-ordinator Darko Kotevski is hopeful they can exhibit their craft work. The Croatian Men’s Group meets in Endeavour Hills on Mondays and is open to new attendees. Some eligibility criteria apply. Call Lily Silic on 9689 5811 or 0451 989 188.

Hampton Park residents living about 300 metres south of the yards have also long complained of dust pollution. The residents in Rowland Close and Glenora Way report regular and severe hay-fever, skin hives, asthma attacks, coughing and sore eyes suffered by children, young and old residents alike. Nearby workers tell of the need to hose down vehicles daily and to keep factory doors constantly closed due to the dusty emissions. The EPA has confirmed that O’Grady Road, which is unsealed and Casey council-managed, was not the “primary contributor” of the dust.

Weapons and drugs seized Police say they have seized weapons and drugs from a Doveton man. The Divisional Response Unit members arrested the 31-year-old on Tuesday 6 June and charged him with possession of drugs, weapons and stolen goods. He was remanded in custody to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 8 June. Police said they would continue to target patrols to areas and times that intelligence led them to believe would be the most effective, and public help was valuable. They urged anyone who knew or suspected anyone was dealing drugs to make an anonymous tip-off to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au. Police want to identify this man.

A thief stole a mobile phone and a purse from a Doveton milk bar while the owner was with a customer. Police said two men entered the store about 8.30pm on Wednesday 10 May. One spoke to the shop owner and bought cigarettes while the other entered a non-public area and stole the owner’s belongings. The first man then left the store, shortly followed by the second. Police don’t know if the pair were together, but would like to identify them both. CCTV images have been released. The first man was about 25 to 35 years old and Caucasian with dark hair, and was wearing a dark-coloured jumper. The second was in his early to late teens and Caucasian with a thin build, and was wearing jeans, a dark hooded top and a blue cap. Anyone with information should call Detective Senior Constable Michelle Chiang at Casey CIU on 9705 3114 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

An accused dust polluter in Hallam faces a possible fine after missing its first reporting deadline to the state environment watchdog. Folino Plant Hire, which runs Supreme Organic Soils on O’Grady Road, could be fined more than $7700 for failing to file a site layout plan to alleviate the clouds of dust plaguing neighbouring businesses and homes. Environment Protection Authority Victoria regional manager Marleen Matthias said the EPA was following up with Folino to understand why the 31 May deadline was not met. When asked about Folino’s compliance, company director Frank Folino told Star News: “That’s between me and the EPA.” Folino had been slapped with an EPA pollution abatement notice requiring it to stop dust plumes escaping from its mulch, soil and grass yard.
Both Folino and a neighbouring mulch yard owned by Bark King Group have been given until 31 August to increase their dust control measures and not impact on their neighbours. Unlike Folino, Bark King had submitted its required site layout plan to the EPA by 31 May. The EPA is assessing the plan, which was required to set out the orientation and location of its mulch piles, grinding and screening plant and loading bays to prevent dust emissions. Bark King manager Stuart Johnston told Star News: “You work around these things.” If the companies fail to comply with the order, they face fines of up to $770,300. According to the notices, excessive rates of dust deposits from the yards had coated a neighbouring industrial workplace. The highest reading of dust in nearby Bolt Court was 9.42 grams per square metre per

Officers spotted the wascally wabbit peering from beneath a car at the Langhorne Street station during their morning coffee break on Monday 5 June. Acting Senior Sergeant Kym McKenzie said the intruder hopped for freedom, with police in hot pursuit. “We tried to coax it out with some grass and he did come out for a little nibble, but when we tried to grab him he hopped back under the cars,” she said. After a few laps of the car park, “one of the other girls managed to nab him with some apple - he has a sweet tooth”. Act Sen Sgt McKenzie said little Bugs appeared to be an escaped pet on the hop. He’s now being cared for at the Lost Dogs Home in Cranbourne West.

Noisy mynas are in the gun By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey Council officers have been urged to remove or eliminate a noisy flock of Indian myna birds nesting in a nature-strip tree in Hallam. At the 6 June council meeting, councillor Wayne Smith successfully moved for action against an estimated 150 of the introduced pest species as a “matter of extreme urgency”. Residents in Charles Avenue were concerned about the “prolific” noise as well as the health risks from the thick coat of bird droppings on the road and kerbside under the tree, Cr Smith said. He said Casey officers’ response that “there’s nothing we can do” didn’t meet the ‘pub test’. “This is a situation where the council made it quite clear that the nature strip is council property and a tree on that land is council’s tree. “We can’t say we can’t do anything about it. It is our problem.” Cr Rosalie Crestani said people were allowed to kill Indian mynas - if they could catch them.
City planning manager Nicola Ward said the birds were actually hard to catch and there were a “whole lot of risks” associated with the exercise. She warned of the risk to Casey’s reputation, noting a much-maligned push to exterminate native corellas from a Cranbourne site. That campaign resulted in a Berwick News front page depicting a corella with a gunsight on its head, Ms Ward said. There was a lot of work to do to get a program in place, including a risk assessment of the “ethics of destroying the birds”, Ms Ward said. “It’s difficult to action immediately.” A myna extermination program in Cardinia Shire had been developed over three years, leading to the purchase of traps as well as costs to dispose of and euthanase the birds, she told the council. In response to the perceived media backlash, Cr Amanda Stapledon said there were many community groups against the Indian myna. Cr Smith’s motion was passed unanimously.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Innovator’s future fuel A Dandenong South innovator was in the running for a state youth award. Dale Barnett, 29, was a finalist for the Small Business Achiever Award at the Victorian Young Achiever Awards, presented on Friday 26 May. He didn’t walk away with the honour but received plenty of praise. Mr Barnett is the co-founder and director of Biofuel Innovations, which turns waste oil into biodiesel, an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum diesel. He’s a chemical engineer by trade and learnt basic welding and electrical work to help with the plant’s construction. Biofuel Innovations generates $2.4 million
revenue annually and provides a course-accredited internship program for university students. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said the awards showcased “the incredible talent within our community and the ways that young people are continuing to inspire others”. “Dale is a fantastic example to the young people of Dandenong that they can make creative and valuable contributions to the community,” she said. Awards Patron and Youth Affairs Minister Jenny Mikakos congratulated every nominee. “You are all making a real difference to our state and it’s important that we celebrate your contribution to Victoria,” she said. The Biofuel Innovations plant can produce
about 30,000 litres of biofuel per month, and expansions are planned. The biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine without modification as a replacement for fossil diesel. Biofuel Innovations received a Greater Dandenong Council business grant in 2015, and last year was a nominee for a Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Business Award. Mr Barnett met business partner Dr Rebecca Yee through friends. They shared a commitment to sustainability that grew into their business. “A lot of people don’t think about their waste,” Dr Yee said. “Fish and chip shop owners have a lot of things to manage, and in many cases up to 20 litres of oil a week is just dumped.”

Career options open up as pathways expo shows the way for 1000 More than 1000 Keysborough students learnt about their study and career options at a pathways expo. Keysborough College hosted the seventh annual event on Tuesday 30 May. Banksia Campus principal Patrick Boyd said all senior students were involved and heard from more than 70 presenters. “The Careers and Pathways Expo is the ‘gateway’ for our students to our pathways decisionmaking process, which culminates in our senior school information evening to be held at the college in late July,” he said. “We invite university, TAFE, other training organisations, apprenticeship providers and local businesses to provide a cross-section of possible pathways for our students to learn about and network with. “Our students have told us that the in-school experience is by far the better way to gain career and pathways information, and many will then visit the open days of the various institutions to

Looking Back 100 years ago 14 June 1917 The ANZAC Buffet Berwick The committee for the fete in aid of the Anzac Buffet were fortunate in having been rewarded with fine weather on Saturday and the success obtained by their efforts far exceeded the most sanguine expectations. In the unavoidable absence of Mr Andrew Chirnside the fete was declared open by Cr W G A’Beckett who referred to the great benefit the Anzac Buffet was to the Australian Soldiers, in providing them with all home comforts and enabling them to receive others from their far distant home. The hall was decorated by the committee and a brisk business was done by the stall holders, every article being sold, a net sum of £102/19/1.
50 years ago 8 June 1967 Child crossing should be safer Most mothers of schoolchildren have a fear
Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society of road crossings and some have been taking turns at supervising crossings in certain areas. At other schools, parents are paying a few cents a week to employ men to watch crossings for about 15 hours a week. What is Springvale City Council doing? So far councillors have requested the town clerk to determine the cost of employing parttime supervisors. Mrs D Houghton, president of the Federation of State Schools Mothers Clubs, says some mothers are working roaster systems to put out flags on school crossings because it is too much responsibility for children. The Victorian Council for School organisations has asked parents to stop children supervising school crossings. The secretary of the Victorian Teachers Union has said teachers could not be expected to supervise crossings because of their classroom commitments. Adult supervisors should be engaged by
council, with power to shift cars parked over crossings.
20 years ago 9 June 1997 Plan an Australian first Greater Dandenong Council has developed the nation’s first municipal clean-production strategy for industry. The plan aims to help companies address in economically viable ways the environmental issues they face. It encourages environmentally friendly practices including recycling, and waste reduction practices will improve efficiency and reduce costs. They will benefit from reducing operational costs by making more efficient use of water and energy, by reducing or eliminating the cost of waste disposal. One company has eliminated its need for tipping by developing a system which converts its waste to compost.
5 years ago 11 June 2012 Awarded for the ‘honour’ of teaching Dandenong North-based principal Christine Ash is grateful for the Queen’s Birthday award. But she said that she considers teaching school children to be a daily “honour and privilege”. Ms Ash has been today awarded an Order of Australia Medal for her service to education. It was in particular recognition of her stint at the helm of the Victorian Association of Catholic Primary School Principals. She formed the association so principals could share their experience and support each other. An educator for 40 years, Ms Ash sees technology as essential to keep schools contemporary. She said that technology opens up “once unimaginable” possibilities of connecting students.
Deliveries took me across town The late Jack Johnson was 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. On Tuesdays I was sent by Mothers Domenic and Anthony to the produce market to pick up their week’s supply of vegies and fruit. Most of their fruit was supplied by generous parishioners in the way of cases of apples and oranges etcetera. Then each week after school, I think on a Wednesday, I was sent out to Leigh’s Abattoirs to pick up the week’s meat supply for the convent. The Leigh homestead was on the corner of what today are Claredale Road and Box Street. The abattoir was at the top end of the property, as were their pens and their primitive load-

ing ramp and sheds, all of which were reached by a track that, in those days, ran through the gums from McCrae Street bridge and up through the middle of the farm. That track finished at Leigh’s gate opposite an unmade Claredale Road. Another track ran through grass to a second entrance to the Forest Hills Golf Club. Just inside this entrance were a couple of tin sheds for storing horse-drawn gang mowers used to mow the fairways and also the mainte-
nance equipment. Plunkett Road was then another walking track weaving through the gums to Princes Highway. A small track that later would become Box Street went past Leigh’s house and finished at the post and wire fence at the Dandenong Council’s gravel pits where we often played on our way out to Narre Warren and Harkaway. To go to the abattoirs I would set off down McCrae Street with a convent basket on the handlebars of my bike, and my own gunnysack across my back. Sometimes I arrived at the abattoirs and the council health inspector, who at the time was Mr Williams, had not arrived to do the meat inspections so I had to wait. If I was lucky, while I waited I would get to drive the fertiliser cart around whatever paddock was being rested. Mr Mackie or Mr Green, who both worked at
the abattoirs, helped me to harness up the huge draughthorse into the shafts of a Furphy tank they called the blood cart. It had a wide spreader bar across the back with a large control valve. I would catch the giant draughthorse, which often when it was in the paddock had a headstall with a fly-fringe on it. I stood the docile creature near the banked earth loading ramp or beside the pig and sheep pens and I’d climb onto the wide ironbark top rail. This old loading ramp was not as high as today’s ramps as it was only used for pigs and sheep, because at this time most farmers carted their own stock in small two-wheeled trailers. There were very few large stock transports in use then, and most of the bigger bullocks were taken around the roads, along regular routes, by professional drovers and their dogs.

Marketing guru Damian Morgan will be in the south-east next week helping businesses think smarter. Mr Morgan will lead a series of free Star News Group Business Excellence Seminars in Cardinia, Casey and Greater Dandenong. Seminars will be held in Dandenong on Tuesday 20 June, in Pakenham on Thursday 22 June, and in Narre Warren on Friday 23 June. Mr Morgan said one of the biggest mistakes small businesses make is they advertise sporadically instead of making marketing a core business function. “They ask whether they will do any marketing this month rather than what marketing am I going to do,” Mr Morgan said. “That has two effects - they don’t buy the right advertising because they advertise casually rather than have a commercial arrangement and, secondly, the temptation is there to only ever advertise when you’re on sale - you are then telling people ‘we’re cheap’ rather than ‘we’re good’.” The sessions will look to encourage small businesses to realise the power of marketing, create a marketing budget at the beginning of the financial year and commit to a 12-monthly spend. “Corporate companies have got big budgets and engage highly qualified advertising people whereas in small business you’re in charge of advertising, HR, inventory,” Mr Morgan said. “What we are doing is learning from the big corporates and distilling it down into a simple action plan that small businesses can take out and make worthwhile.” Mr Morgan is a former creative writer and business journalist with an MBA, and is also a regular media commentator. He has a passion for helping small and medium-sized businesses grow. “I am a small business owner myself,” he said.

SPORT Mindfull of mental health risks By Russell Bennett Six months ago Shaun Ross took his own life. He was just 22. The lovable larrikin who’d give the shirt off his own back to anyone in need made an unforgettable impact on anyone close to him, and thousands of people across the south-east will never be quite be the same again. They won’t get to hear his laugh again, or see his smile, or simply confide in one of life’s good guys. Shaun had a heart of gold, but his was a troubled life from a young age. Yet through the darkness of his passing, there is a light - one that will shine in his honour on 16 July. The Hampton Park Junior Football Club - the former home of a talented young Shaun - will hold its second ever Legends Game which will welcome a host of its favourite sons back to the fold. But this year it carries much more significance, serving as a way to honour Shaun and direct the spotlight onto suicide prevention among young people. The day will be held in partnership with Mindfull Australia, a suicide prevention charity founded by Shaun’s great friend and former clubmate at the Cora Lynn Football Netball Club Matt Runnalls. Mindfull’s purpose is to encourage those affected by mental health battles to come out of the shadows of stigma through self-acceptance and education of the wider community. At the time he founded Mindfull, Matt was a 24-year-old tradie who played country footy. He had no real financial worries, his professional life was in order, and he had a strong network of family and friends. But since he was 17 he
Matt Runnalls and Chris Adair have joined forces for the second running of the Hampton Park Junior Football Club Legends Game which will this year honour the memory of Shaun Ross. 168954 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT battled severe anxiety and depression, which led to several suicide attempts. Up until late last year, Shaun was a constant source of inspiration to Matt through his journey with Mindfull. “I don’t think anyone ever really got the destined talent out of him that we all knew he had,” Matt said.
“It’s not just a cliche that people say when someone passes - he literally would give you the shirt off his back. “Even when he was struggling, his attitude to fighting his mental illness and his demons is something that still drives me.” Chris Adair, the president of the Hampton Park Junior Football Club, said there was one
Looking to the future, growing talent pair selected Dandenong pair Adam McMaster and Edward Newman have been named in Cricket Victoria’s Futures League Winters Training Squad which features 21 of Victoria’s best emerging talent. McMaster enjoyed a breakout season for the Panthers in 2016/17, taking 27 wickets at 28.6, and impressing with his fierce pace and aggression. Young gun Newman, who also represented Victoria at Under-19 level last season, took great strides, scoring 197 runs at 28.1, including a 71 not out against eventual premiers Fitzroy-Doncaster. After the Bushrangers made history last season by becoming the first Victorian side ever to win three Sheffield Shield titles in a row, Victorian Chairman of Selectors Andrew Lynch is placing one eye on the future to keep Victoria at the forefront of Australian domestic cricket. “The side we’ve picked for the winter training program this year is much younger than we’ve previously had, which is a big part of our strategy going forward,” Lynch said. “We’re looking to bring these talented young players through our system, which we have a lot of faith in and has proven to be successful in the past, and prepare them as best we can for future possibilities at first-class level.” The squad will train together at the MCG throughout winter under the tutelage of Victoria’s high performance coaches, including David Hussey and Mick Lewis. Coaching the side for his second season, Hussey has a clear structure in mind to keep the squad busy over the winter and prepared for the season ahead. “It’s great to be able to bring the squad together during the winter, which gives us plenty of time to work on developing their skills and techniques for both batting and bowling,” Hussey said. “We’ll hit the ground running towards the end of June and it’ll be good to finally get back into the swing of things.” Players will complete numerous sessions between June and September, which will be a combination of skills, strength and conditioning, and performance management sessions. The program commences on Thursday 22 June. 28 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 12 June, 2017

particularly telling moment at Shaun’s funeral in November. “His parents noticed a change in him when he was 10,” he said. “I’ve got an 11-year-old son, and that really hit home with me - to think that he might be struggling and I may not know about it.” So, the Redbacks and Mindfull have joined forces in an effort to shine a light on the mental health battles facing so many youngsters in each and every local community. On 16 July at the Cairns Road Reserve, former Hampton Park players and a whole host of people close to Shaun will don a special Redbacks jumper featuring his initials and the number 15 - his number in his days in the red and black. After the game there’ll be a sit-down dinner and a presentation from Matt on suicide awareness. There’ll also be one other feature on the day - a balloon release, to remember all those in the community lost to suicide. “I think it’d be a real eye-opener to see just how many balloons do get released,” Matt said. “It’s pretty rare to walk anywhere these days and start the conversation and talk to anyone who hasn’t felt the loss of a friend, or who doesn’t know someone who’s struggling or living with a mental illness.” Tickets to the dinner are limited, while entry to the legends game will be a gold coin donation, or $5 per car with all proceeds going to Mindfull. For more information on the event, email hpfc-secretary@live.com.au or call Chris on 0400 622 773. Anyone needing help can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14, Beyondblue on 1300 224 636, or Mindfull at www.facebook.com/mindfullaus.
Clubs left on a sticky wicket It may well and truly be the middle of the football and soccer season, but the news out of the Dandenong District Cricket Association keeps on coming. With the boom signings of Steven Spoljaric to Springvale South and Matt Chasemore to Berwick raising the eyebrows of many, there have been many other player movements that have strengthened some clubs and weakened others. North Dandenong is currently in the process of searching for a new captain after the departure of star all-rounder Jurgen Andersen (Buckley Ridges), and is believed to be in the market for a few players that could help fill the void left by the Kiwi. Dingley has bolstered its playing stocks for 2017/18, signing on Hallam batsman Corey Booth as captain and former oneTest Sri Lankan spinner Dinuka Hettiarachchi. Booth, a former Dandenong player back in the early 2000s, scored 310 runs last season at an incredible average of 103.3 - the Turf 1’s highest average. It’s all positive news out of Dandenong West which has pulled off a brilliant recruiting coup, securing former Premier Cricket star Shanuka Dissanyaka as captain/coach. Dissanyaka played just one season at Footscray but scored an extraordinary 175 not out in the 2013/14 grand final against Essendon at Junction Oval. Former Victorian paceman Will Carr will coach Berwick in a non-playing capacity as it looks to get back into the premiership race next season. Carr, 41, played six matches for Victoria, taking 25 wickets at 20.88. Doveton North is also on the lookout for a new coach - contact the club via email on dovetonnorth@ddca.com.au for more information.

Nelly’s dream still alive after Magpies selection By Nick Creely Never give up on your dreams, because the moment you do, you give up on yourself. This sentiment embodies everything that Rowville Football Club’s Nelly Yoa stands for. He is a former soccer star who despite enduring a devastating and life altering situation, has risen up in the face of adversity to firmly set himself into the sights of AFL club Collingwood. In 2011, after attending a beauty pageant in Braybrook with some close mates, Nelly, one of the most sought after young soccer players in the country, was savagely attacked by a group of men with machetes after trying to defend one of his friends - sustaining life-threatening injuries. The Journal has closely followed Nelly’s journey from the time he was attacked to his remarkable recovery. “The doctor informed me at the start that I had a 1 per cent survival rate of even being alive and the chances of playing sport - let alone walking again - were very minimal,” he said. “It was truly heartbreaking - once you’ve been told that you just don’t know what to do - I felt lost.” But true to himself, he overcame the voices in his head telling him he couldn’t, and he not only walked, but ran towards a dream. “‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ is what I’ve lived by, I guess, and that saying played a massive part for me - I use that saying to motivate others now - there is always a light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. “I had a lot of friends for support - some of my friends were competing for the Paralympics - the chances of them being successful was obviously hard because of their disability, but they pushed through and they inspire me - I realized I had all the ability to come back again, but disability is permanent and I had a great opportunity,” he said. Trying to find direction in his life, Nelly turned to many people for support to find the answer, with a legendary mentor helping him find direction and steering him into the right path. “Usain Bolt is one of my mentors - he is someone who has encouraged me to never give up and follow my dreams - he has played a massive role for me and he has been a great friend,” he said. “He is someone who I can call up when I need something or need a word of encouragement - he certainly helped in many ways.” Then last year, Nelly decided to switch codes on the advice of another high profile figure, electing to try out Aussie Rules after spending his entire childhood and early adulthood life plying his trade with the round ball. “I was approached by Eddie McGuire (Collingwood President) a few years back - I’ve been on his radio program a few times on Triple M, and he sort of convinced me. “He said if I ever considered playing AFL, they would have a look at me at Collingwood. He was very persistent and eventually I thought about it and did some training,” he said. “Collingwood definitely have me on their radar now after just missing out, and they recommended I play for Rowville in the Eastern Footy
Nelly Yoa's incredible journey has now taken him to the Rowville Football Club. League, which is a strong league just under the VFL. “They asked me to go down there - they have a great set-up who have produced a lot of AFL players. “I’ve now moved there to play football. I was asked to move there by Collingwood for the next 10 games until the season concludes and then,
hopefully, be in the frame for November’s AFL draft - I want to be on the main list for next year’s campaign.” Nelly is eligible to be taken by Collingwood in 2018 as Category B Rookie as a migrant rookie after just missing out last year, meaning he won’t need to go through the draft to land at the Pies.
Testing times for Doveton By David Nagel Doveton’s ability to seriously challenge for this year’s South East Football Netball League title will be put to the test this week with a visit to Narre Warren. Currently fourth and fifth on the ladder, at least one of these two was expected to improve to the point where it could seriously challenge the grand finalist of the last two years, Berwick and Cranbourne. The Doves, who went on a serious recruiting campaign in the off-season, looked a serious threat after knocking off thirdplaced Beaconsfield in round six, but subsequent losses to Berwick and Tooradin has slipped it back in among the pack. The Doves were injury ravaged against the Seagulls, but will still be massively disappointed that they couldn’t take a firm hold on that top-three position. This week’s game, well it’s probably the most important between these two since they met in consecutive grand finals in 2005 and ’06. Apart from 2009, when the Doves played off in the grand final against Pakenham, Narre Warren has been the better team. It won nine in a row against the Doves from 2010 through to 2015, before the Doves started a fightback. They’ve won their last three against the Magpies - but haven’t been able to convert that advantage into a higher ladder position at the end of the season. This is a new-look Doveton side. Youngsters Jake Blackwood, Josh Bradley, Sam Muirhead and Malis Lokeron have really provided a spark - Blackwood particularly impressive at centre half back - while regular faces like Ryan Hendy and Michael Henry have had consistent seasons to date. Dual league best and fairest winner Russ Gabriel has had a great season in the ruck, while nippy types like Nick Battle, Clayton McCartney and Kyle Hendy have produced some stunning football at times. The Doves just need to get more consistent. At their best, they should get the points against the Magpies. Meanwhile Hampton Park has had a rare occurrence of good news, with SEFNL’s governing body AFL South East releasing its draft recommendations from its Senior Football Competition Review. AFLSE, which governs 31 clubs across three competitions, SEFNL, Nepean and Peninsula, will introduce divisional football in 2018, with the composition still to be decided. What it does for the Redbacks is give them high hopes of being more competitive after winning just four games since the start of 2012. They haven’t been able to compete with growing towns like Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne and Narre Warren and have had a massive voice in the push for divisional football. The new divisional set up will see promotion and relegation across three divisions. The final composition is set to be announced by the end of July.
Clubs look to youth and experience for roster rejig By Nick Creely The NPL Transfer mid-season deadline is officially over, with the three major Dandenong based clubs Dandenong Thunder, Dandenong City and Springvale White Eagles making some hefty changes to their roster for the remainder of 2017. Thunder and City are jostling for promotion into the top tier of Victorian football and the two clubs have added a nice blend of youth and experience. The Thunder has made perhaps the biggest acquisition of them all, with returning midfielder Iqi Jawadi signing on at George Andrews Reserve. Jawadi, 23, played 36 matches for the Thunder from 2012 to 2013, before joining South Melbourne where he went on to play 79 matches and kick six goals from 2013 to 2016, winning two championships and a best and fairest. He has since played a handful of matches for Oakleigh Cannons in 2017 but now adds another
dimension to the powerful Thunder side. Following on from Jawadi, the Thunder has also added Jordan Seeto to its roster, a 24-year-old defender who moved to Victoria in 2015 and has been involved in college football in the US. Originally from Bendigo City before joining Richmond, he made 25 senior appearances and was a part of the 2015 NPL2 Championship and promotion. He then departed mid-way through last year and joined Moreland City, playing 25 matches in an impressive season. Dandenong City, the top of the class in NPL2 East in 2017, has also been fairly busy throughout the transfer period, bringing in former junior Damien Miskulin. After making his debut with City in 2013, Miskulin was snared by Melbourne Victory where he played 29 games, netting three goals in a stint from 2015 to 2016, before joining Melbourne Knights in mid-2016.
But souring the signing of Miskulin is the departure of reliable defender Luke Burgess who has signed with Whittlesea, bolstering its defensive four. The 23-year-old, who has been impressive in his 24 games with City across a season and a half, will join Epping Stadium in a big change of environment. Springvale White Eagles has also pulled off an impressive mid-season transfer coup, signing up Nate Foster from the Oakleigh Cannons. Originally from Dandenong Thunder, the 27-year-old failed to fire with the Cannons, but now has another chance to resurrect his career. At his damaging best, Foster is a notable goal scorer, as shown by his 13 goals in 23 games with the Thunder, but he has been hampered by form and injury since leaving George Andrews Reserve. Coincidentally Foster made his debut for the Eagles in last Saturday’s blockbuster derby clash against Dandenong Thunder.

In the heat of natural leadership By Nick Creely The Under-18 National Championships provide Oscar Clavarino with a unique opportunity. Not only will the star young backman ply his trade in front of AFL recruiters as the most sought after key defender in this year’s draft, but he will also co-captain the Vic Country side in another chapter of his impressive development as a l eader. He has a natural born leader of men, and a young man who thrives with responsibility. “To be recognised in the football region of Vic Country as a leader is really special - it’s an absolutely honour,” he told Star News Group. As a member of Vic Country as a bottom-ager in last year’s National Champs, Clavarino said the lessons learnt will hold him in good stead this time around. “The biggest thing I learnt from last year is simply how ruthless and switched on you have to be at that level,” he said. “The fast ball movement and elite skills makes it especially hard as a backman but at the same time it’s a great challenge and I can’t wait to be a part of it all again.” His development as a leader continues to evolve - he has been described by many recruiters and team-mates in the last few years as a potential AFL captain in the next decade, and someone who will fight tooth and nail to get his team over the line. “I feel as though I’ve gained so much experience in the way I lead,” he said. “It’s the best way to learn and develop, to be right in the heat of it. “I’ve probably made a couple of mistakes but nothing major but, more importantly, I’ve learnt from it and continued to develop. “Of course there’s still a long way to go but I love the direction I’m heading with my leadership. “Working with ex-St Kilda captain, a 300game player and now a leadership mentor in Nathan Burke is a great way to learn as well. “He puts us on a path and pushes us in the right

“With the likes of James Worpel (fellow cocaptain), Hunter Clark and Luke Davies-Uniacke running through the midfield, we will be a very strong force. “Having said that, the other teams also look quite strong on paper so I think it will be how well we can bond together and work as a team that will
define our success and I reckon we’ve got that in us, it’s just something that the Vic Country boys can traditionally do.” Clavarino’s Country side kicked off its under-18 games against the Allies in Blacktown, NSW, on 11 June, and return for three matches in Victoria.

Eighteen-year-old Chloe Bibby was part of the Dandenong Rangers’ grand final team last season - now she’s set to represent Australia. Following a final selection camp at Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence (CoE), the Australian Gems have named their team of 12 to compete for the FIBA Under-19 World Cup from 22 to 30 July. Six Victorians are included from that team in Monique Conti, Jazmin Shelley, Maddison Rocci, Kiera Rowe, Bibby and Ezi Magbegor. They are joined by Abby Cubillo (Northern Territory), Samantha Simons (South Australia), Lara McSpadden (New South Wales) and Zitina Aokuso (Queensland) while WNBL player Anneli Maley (Victoria) and CoE scholarship holder Rebecca Pizzey (Victoria) round out the team. Dee Butler will lead the Gems at the World Cup, replacing Paul Goriss who has recently been named as the Australian Opals assistant coach. “Selection was not easy with the quality of the squad but we are really excited about the depth and versatility of the team,” Butler said.
Chloe Bibby is set to represent Australia after impressing for the Rangers last season. 156671 Picture: ROB CAREW “The team has a wealth of experience underpinned by their development at the CoE through their state based High Performance programs while some have previous World Championship involvement.” The Gems have been drawn into Group D for
the tournament and will be aiming to get on the podium for the third straight time after winning bronze medals in 2015 and 2013 while they were also silver medallists in 1997 and gold medallists in 1993. “We know that we will face strong opposition with a number of the European teams and Japan and Korea as always will be highly skilled and extremely quick,” Butler said. Bibby, who is set to head overseas to play college ball with Mississippi State in the US, is one of the rising stars of basketball in Australia and was highly impressive in the WNBL finals series with the Rangers.
