It’s the last stop for a much-loved miniature railway in Narre Warren North. Campbelltown Passenger Railway, with its beautifully maintained locomotives, station, signal box, workshop and tracks, comes to a close on Sunday 24 June. Since 1984, an indomitable couple Colin and Nanc Campbell, both 89, have opened on Sundays and public holidays. They’ve hosted thousands of families, picnickers and kids’ birthday parties - and never had a holiday for themselves since, they say. “I’ll miss it,” says Mr Campbell. “I still like running the trains. It’s doing all the work around the place which is the killer.” The Campbells used to have up to eight helpers, including civil engineers. But with that support departed, it became impossible to go on. It takes many days to mow the vast lawns, let alone picking up rubbish and branches and maintaining the property. “As time passed on, our skilled helpers like us got older,” Mr Campbell says. “We managed for as long as we could.” Ms Campbell adds that “no one has any idea how much work it takes”. “They think we just drive the train around on Sunday.” The couple built the attraction from scratch on a bare 20-acre property in 1978. It took six years of construction and earthmoving - not to mention the planting of 5800 trees - before it was opened to the public. The paddocks have since blossomed into idyllic gardens and woods, rock cuttings and a lake. A sign-writer by trade, Mr Campbell’s handiwork is seen in the neat, hand-painted signage throughout the grounds. He retired from sign-writing only last year. On the track, he looks at home on one of his five mini-replica locomotives - whether it’s the diesel Spirit of Progress or a Hudson steam locomotive 464. He is bemused by the young passengers lost in their phones along the journey. “They don’t even look up. They might as well have gone to the park and looked at their

Trafficker bail fail A convicted drug trafficker's bid to be bailed to a country rehab centre has been rejected under the state's toughened bail laws. Dylan James Kelly, 32, had been remanded on multiple firearm, car theft and drug charges when he fronted Dandenong Magistrates' Court via video link on 4 June. His defence lawyer told the court that Kelly had been accepted by the 24/7 supervised Arrow Health centre in Woodend. It was the accused's "last chance" to address his "deep-seeded" drug problems. "It's make-or-break for him." To make bail, Kelly had to prove 'exceptional circumstances' - the state's toughest test for bail which is also reserved for accused murderers. He was charged with 17 offences including trafficking 'ice' after being arrested in a hire car in Jones Street Dandenong at 1.30am on 30 March, police officer Constable Jordan McKenzie told the court.
Police allegedly seized a bag of eight grams of suspected meth from Kelly's underwear as well as $6,054 from his bag. A bag of suspected ice was allegedly carried by the female driver. Police further searched the car and the pair's hired room at Quest Apartments Dandenong. Police allegedly seized more than 60 items including a Tazer, butterfly knife, knuckledusters, a firearm cleaning kit, ammunition, six mobile phones and an alleged drug 'tick-list' written on the back of a character-reference letter for court. Kelly denied the allegations in a largely 'nocomment' police interview, the court was told. At the time, Kelly was on bail over allegedly unlicensed driving, and possessing ice and proceeds of crime - namely $4050 cash - in a stolen Jeep Cherokee in Berwick in September, the court heard. He was also on bail over an incident in which he was a passenger in an alleged stolen vehicle in which a sawn-off shotgun, a rifle, $2645 and a drug tick-list were allegedly found in January.
Kelly was subject to two community corrections orders at the time - including a County Court-imposed CCO for trafficking 'ice' and firearm offences. The court heard that Kelly could not be compelled from walking away from the rehab centre. Arrow Health patient-care coordinator Bruce Laidlaw said the centre would advise lawyers, family and police if Kelly left the CCTV and alarm-secured facility. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen indicated Kelly was likely to be jailed if found guilty of the charges, including re-sentencing for the allegedly breached CCOs. He noted the "significant" criminal history over more than a decade, including breaches of bail and a suspended sentence. "Despite what has been put on his behalf, the circumstances aren't exceptional and I'll be refusing his application for bail." Kelly was remanded to appear via video link for a mention hearing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 12 June.
Cop car crush A power pole fell onto a police car during a chase in Dandenong South. State Highway Patrol officers were using laser speed detectors on the Pound Road overpass about 11.15am on Wednesday 6 June. They allegedly detected a white Holden Commodore speeding north along the South Gippsland Freeway. A second highway patrol vehicle tried to intercept the sedan as it exited the South Gippsland Highway onto the Princess Highway. The driver mounted the centre median strip and the vehicle then clipped a power pole, which fell onto a police car's bonnet and a Volkswagen Tiguan's roof. The senior constable and constable in the police car and the Volkswagen driver, a man in his mid-seventies, were not injured. The Holden turned right into Doveton Avenue before four youths dumped the car in Gumbuya Close, Eumemmerring, and fled. Police were making inquiries in relation to the Holden. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au with any information.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams revealed further details on Monday 4 June. She said Dandenong passengers would have access to trains every 10 minutes until 10pm. There'll be 10 new weekly services on the Cranbourne line, and 45 existing shuttle services will extend to Flinders Street to reduce the need to change trains. Pakenham line passengers will have access to five extra services a week, extended from Dandenong in the evenings.

Bus connections to trains will be maintained. "This new timetable will give passengers more options on some of our busiest train lines while we get on with building the Metro Tunnel, which will free up space to run even more services on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines," Ms Williams said. The 65 new High Capacity Metro Trains can carry 20 per cent more passengers and will be rolled out on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines from mid-next year.

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses after officers fired a shot at a vehicle in Dandenong. The incident followed a theft at a liquor store in Dandenong North involving two men and a woman. Investigators said the trio entered the Dunearn Road store just after 4.30pm on Wednesday 6 June and stole liquor. Shortly after, they allegedly tried to re-enter the store brandishing a knife and hammer. The store keeper locked the door. An altercation ensued, during which the store window was damaged. The alleged offenders then assaulted a neighbouring shop keeper and fled in a stolen Nissan Pulsar. Police spotted the sedan parked in a service lane on the Princes Highway, Dandenong, just south of David Street, about 7.15pm. Officers approached the vehicle, but the driver reversed, collided into two parked vehicles and accelerated towards police. An officer fired one shot at the vehicle before the driver fled onto Gwenda Street. The unoccupied Nissan was found dumped in Gwenda Street a short time later. Police believe the Nissan was stolen from Clow Street, Dandenong, sometime between Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 June. Police arrested an 18-year-old Heatherton man at Dandenong Railway Station about 8.30pm and charged him with theft and motor vehicle theft. He was bailed to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 1 August. Professional Standards Command will oversee the investigation as per standard protocol when a member has discharged a firearm. No police members were injured during the incident and Greater Dandenong CIU detectives continue to search for the man and woman.
Search follows body discovery
Train boost is on track for Dandenong A new train timetable will bring 60 new and extended services to Dandenong Railway Station. There'll also be 65 new and extended services for Westall passengers when the timetable rolls out later this year. Passengers between Dandenong and the city will have access to an extra 45 services extended from Cranbourne each week. As reported in the Journal, Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan first flagged the service boost on 27 April.

Police searched a Hallam street for clues following a man's death in Lynbrook. They conducted a line search on Saffron Drive with local SES volunteers on the morning of Thursday 7 June. A police spokeswoman said a man's body was found in Rowcroft Avenue, Lynbrook, on Tuesday 5 June. She said the exact circumstances surrounding his death were yet to be established, but the death was not being treated as suspicious at this stage. The investigation is ongoing.
Girl hides from home invader with a knife A 10-year-old girl kept calm and called for help when an armed man broke into her home. She was alone in the Buckingham Avenue house when he smashed a window to force entry about 5.30pm on Thursday 31 May. Greater Dandenong CIU detectives said her family members were away for just a few minutes to pick up dinner. The girl locked herself in a bedroom, called triple-zero and stayed on the phone with the call-taker until police arrived. They arrested a 46-year-old Springvale man, who was allegedly in possession of a knife and screwdriver.

Afghanistan's leading female performer is heading to Dandenong. Singer Aryana Sayeed will perform at Robert Blackwood Hall in Clayton on Saturday 14 July. Ali from Dandenong Plaza kebab store A La Turko is the major sponsor for her Australian tour, as the director of Baran Entertainment. "She is an Afghan superstar," he said. "She's a beautiful woman. She's fighting for freedom in Afghanistan. "She's fighting for women's rights in Afghanistan. "She's a very affective person on society. "She has a beautiful voice. She's one of the best singers we have currently. "I thought I should bring her to Australia to bring the Afghan community together through music and dance, and create some happiness for my community." Millions of fans have viewed Aryana's sensual and provocative music videos, but the clips have also drawn the wrath of hardliners. A concert in Kabul on Afghanistan Independence Day went ahead despite death threats and bans from religious groups. "She's a very open-minded woman," Ali said. "She is very modern and westernised. "There is some feedback I've heard so far ... "But we celebrate her achievement, her music and we bring the community together." Aryana performs pop songs plus traditional folkloric songs in Farsi/Dari, Pashto, Hazaragi, Hindi and English. "I usually try to sing songs that have strong
Afghan pop star Aryana Sayeed. messages behind them," she said. "I sing for women's rights in Afghanistan, I sing for love and for peace, which is really needed back home in my country." Ali said Aryana would be holding a gala dinner in Dandenong on Thursday 12 July. "Dandenong is the base of the Afghan community in Australia," he said. "We have to bring her to see Dandenong." He encouraged all music-lovers to consider the concert. "She's absolutely amazing. She's performing live, she's not lip-synching," he said.

IN BRIEF
Cash to help fight the harm of pokies By Casey Neill Greater Dandenong Council will tip $75,000 into tackling problem gambling. At their Monday 28 May meeting, councillors agreed to the three-year funding plan for the Alliance for Gambling Reform. The municipality has the highest rate of gambling losses in Victoria, dropping $118 million on pokies in 2016-'17. Only Cr Tim Dark opposed the move. He said pokies venues in Greater Dandenong provided critical support for local sporting and social groups "which is money that council then does not have to put in to support these clubs". "We should be going back to basics, helping the residents who have a problem with gambling rather than this organisation," he said. Cr Sean O'Reilly said not only should the
council support the alliance. "We should be the number one ticket holder given the wreckage to family budgets that problem gambling enacts on families all around Greater Dandenong," he said. "The main thrust of the alliance is about harm minimisation. "A few decades ago you didn't have to wear a seatbelt when you drove. "It's to protect people from themselves so they can still use them for entertainment purposes. "There's really no speed limit on how much the money can go from their pocket into the machine and away from their family budget." The council granted $25,000 per year to the alliance in 2016 and 2017 to help broaden its staff base and strengthen its campaigns. A council report on the proposal for fund-
ing until 30 June 2021 said the 26-member alliance "has proven itself to be responsive and effective organisation for advocating for gambling reform" since its formation in 2015. "Recognising that such reforms hold the prospect of significantly easing the burden of gambling in this community, council has been an active and financial supporter of the alliance," it said. Cr Matthew Kirwan said the council committed in February to a local advocacy campaign for the upcoming State Election "and the alliance has been giving advice and support as part of that". "Specifically they have helped develop brochures as well as posters and pull-up banners for distribution and display across the community," he said. "The alliance also supported and provided speakers for our community forum in March."
Drivers nabbed in speed blitz By Casey Neill
Thieves broke into an underground car park in a Dandenong apartment building. Greater Dandenong CIU detectives said they entered the Close Avenue site about 2.30pm on Saturday 24 April and accessed secured storage containers. Nothing was stolen. The first man was Caucasian, about 172 centimetres tall, aged in his thirties and unshaven with short brown hair, dark-coloured pants and shoes, and a dark-coloured collared shirt with short sleeves and light-coloured stripes. He was carrying a dark-coloured bag across his body. The second was Caucasian, about 170cm tall and 18 years old with brown hair, a grey Adidas hoodie with a large logo on the front, and dark-coloured pants, shoes and hat. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Detective Sergeant Dean Hayes on 9767 7444 with any information.

A South-East speeding blitz nabbed 24 drivers. State Highway Patrol South East members set up on the Pound Road bridge over the South Gippsland Freeway in Hampton Park for three and a half hours on Wednesday 6 June. In the 100 kilometre an hour speed zone they detected 18 drivers travelling between 10 and 15 km/h over the limit. Officers detected six people travelling at more than 125km/h and issued them with an
infringement notice that carried a licence suspension. They allegedly caught a 33-year-old Prahran man driving a Mini Cooper at 150 km/h and impounded the vehicle. The driver is expected to be charged on summons and was issued with a $983 impound notice. Three of the speeding drivers also tested positive to an illicit drug and one had a suspended driver’s licence.

100 years ago
50 years ago
13 June 1918
13 June 1968 Furore over 'Shanty Town' Some property owners in the Chandler RoadCheltenham Road area of Dandenong say they will have to quit their homes and sell out at a loss because "shanty-type" second-hand houses are being brought into the district. A petition protesting against the houses was signed by 47 people and lodged with Dandenong Council on Tuesday night. Council later gave permission for two houses from Glen Waverly to be reinstated on blocks in Thurbro Drive and Chandler Road.
Wonderful work of YMCA Captain Ernest Walker is with the 5th Australian Division Reinforcements Wing of the AIF in France, and in a letter which he wishes to have published, he says: "I would like to make a few first-hand remarks on the work of the YMCA huts at the front. "All I can say is that they are doing the most wonderful work which is appreciated by every soldier. "Wherever you go, even right up under fire, you will find a YMCA hut or shelter, or tent, or dug out, where you can get a hot cup of tea, coffee, cocoa, biscuits. "I have never yet been in a village or town or on a section of the front where there was not a YMCA."
20 years ago 15 June 1998 Drought a big help to the wine growers While most farmers have been devastated by the drought, the weather conditions of the
past few seasons have been welcomed by the local wine industry. Vineyards and wineries in the Macedon Ranges region have recorded better than usual yields and claim wine-lovers will enjoy particularly good flavour from 1998 crops. The warm weather caused bud burst to occur early, with many growers harvesting two weeks earlier than usual... "The quality and quantity of this season has been the best of the eight vintages we have made," Mr Dillon (Bindi Winery in Gisborne) said.
5 years ago 10 June 2013 Commuter stands up for woman 'racially abused' by trio A regular commuter took a stand against three men allegedly racially abusing a woman at Dandenong Railway Station last week.
Kait O'Callahan said that while she was waiting for a train home she was shocked to witness a Maori woman in her twenties told to "go back to your country" by the men about 4.30pm on 29 May. They also hurled abuse "in slurred voices" involving sheep, taxes and Kiwis. She said the woman retaliated with insults while bystanders stared in silence. Ms O'Callahan, not wanting to be "someone who didn't do anything", decided to console the upset women rather than enter "blindly into a confrontation" with the men. Two teenage boys then joined her in support. "Three people was all it took for the men to realise she was not alone. They soon backed off," Ms O'Callahan wrote in a statement to the Journal.
Jan a voice of the people What's In a Name delves into the fascinating stories and personalities behind some of the city's best-known street and location names. This week the Journal looks at Jan Wilson Community Centre in Noble Park North. Jan Wilson was a Dandenong North MP and Dandenong councillor who advocated to improve animal welfare practices across the state. Mrs Wilson migrated to Australia from Scotland in the early 1960s and in 1977 became the second woman to be elected to the City of Dandenong. She represented the North Ward until 1986, and in 1985 was elected the first member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for the new seat of Dandenong North. Her time in State Parliament included the racing, local government, aged care and consumer affairs portfolios.
WHAT’S IN A
NAME Following her retirement from politics in 1999, Mrs Wilson was appointed to the board of Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) and shortly afterwards became chairwoman. GRV started reforming its animal welfare practices during her time as chairwoman and established the Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) to rehome greyhounds that were unable to race. Her 10 years of leadership also resulted in
Jan Wilson with her husband Eric. unprecedented growth in the industry. In 2009, Mrs Wilson was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for services to the racing industry and to animal welfare. She died on 5 March 2010. Last year, she was among 25 new inductees to the Victorian Honour Roll of Women.
She joined more than 600 women named on the Honour Roll since it started in 2001. Each year it celebrates exceptional women in Victoria who have made significant and lasting contributions to their community, the nation or the world. "Too often, women's achievements and contributions are not recognised, despite leaving a lasting impact on their communities," Minister for Women Fiona Richardson said. "Mrs Wilson left behind a meaningful legacy that demonstrates the change that women can lead across government and the community." Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said Mrs Wilson made a remarkable contribution to the community. "Her extensive work in both local and State Government ensured that there was a voice for all Victorians - great and small," she said.

World game A family festival will celebrate soccer in Dandenong. Harmony Square will welcome the world game from noon to 9.30pm on Saturday 16 June. Visitors can show their support for the Team 11 bid to bring the A-League and W-League to Greater Dandenong. They can watch local soccer teams put on a show across the day then settle in to watch a live broadcast of the Socceroos versus France World Cup game on the big screen from 8pm. The day's competition will kick off with boys and girls under-15s teams. Eight teams representing the City of Greater Dandenong, Monash Health, Victoria Police, the CFA and Street Soccer will then compete for the Community Cup. An exhibition match will help to close the festival and launch a new health and fitness initiative encouraging men to play soccer. Big Bros Sport is behind the Man versus Fat
Football League. Councillor Jim Memeti is a keen supporter of the Team 11 bid, which has brought the City of Casey, Cardinia Shire and City of Greater Dandenong together. Cr Memeti said soccer was a world game that broke down barriers. "Greater Dandenong is a sports-loving community and football (soccer) is one of the most popular sports played locally," he said. "In fact, the beauty of football is that anyone can play it. "It truly is a world game that can help bring our community together. "With the Team 11 bid, our ultimate aim is to become Australia's football heartland and we are working really hard to make this a reality. "This festival will be a great opportunity to see players engage in some fun and friendly competition, before we cheer on the Socceroos in their World Cup campaign."

… BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE The editor’s desk All of a sudden, it seems like there’s a new crop of L-Platers filling our roads. Hesitant, white-knuckled, you see their little fear-filled faces peering out from the windscreen of mum’s huge urban assault vehicle. And, let’s be honest, sometimes the driving performance is not so sure-footed. So let’s all make sure we’re careful out there. You don’t have to look too far to see people abusing the poor old learners there’s a whole lot of honking going on. And yes, the instructors have a big role to play here. After having thoroughly read their preparatory material from VicRoads, they have to be a sensible mentor. That means taking great care in relation to selecting where the lessons are to be conducted. And if the family has a second, smaller, more manageable vehicle compared to mum’s tank, then that’s not a bad idea either. Introduce them gently to the dark, the rain, and the busier roads. With our high migrant population, learning to drive in Dandenong can be a challenging space for many youngsters - so don’t hesitate to push a bit further afield. But the main issue for most of us, is to show these learners the same tolerance and understanding as we were given back in the day. Yes, they can be a little unpredictable. Yes, they can be slow and shaky. But yes, they are good young people and yes, it’s hard not to like them. If you do perform just one act of kindness this week, give an L-Plater a break ... and hopefully they’ll pay it forward to the next generation of yellow perils. - Jason Beck

Painting of vision By Casey Neill A colourful mural is bringing students together at a Dandenong school. Eleven Emerson School students designed and painted the artwork and officially unveiled the finished product on Wednesday 6 June. Senior VCAL arts class teacher Jacqueline Malanga said the subject was new to the school so they wanted to offer the students something special.
"The kids decided on the mural and the theme. The theme was 'what brings us together'," she said. "We did a brainstorm. We thought of all the different ways that people come together. "We came up with sport and music and art, family, animals bring us together, transportation brings us together. "We have a school program, houses. Houses brings us together to do activities." Ms Malanga said it took three months to
come up with different designs incorporating these ideas. "The kids went from an A3 sized paper to a seven-metre mural," she said. "They had to scale up quite a bit, so there was a lot of math involved. "The painting itself took 39 hours. "It was really a big learning experience because we were able to see something through to the very end and to set a goal and a target and to meet it." 1208862-EG48-15

Fake bomber lands in jail By Cam Lucadou-Wells A man who wielded a fake bomb in front of more than 200 terrified passengers and crew aboard a commercial airplane just after takeoff from Melbourne Airport has been jailed for up to 12 years. Manodh Monaragala Marks had pleaded guilty to attempting to take control of an aircraft - believed to be the first example of a charge for this offence in Australia, County Court of Victoria judge Michael McInerney noted during sentencing on 7 June. Marks, a 26-year-old Sri Lankan student who was living in Dandenong, was acting under a severe ice-induced psychosis at the time
of the offence, Mr McInerney said. On 31 May 2017, he had taken methamphetamine sometime between just being discharged from a psychiatric facility and boarding a Malaysian Airlines flight that night. Marks unveilled what appeared to be a “very life-like” bomb but was in fact a speaker and a portable power-bank, both with flashing blue lights. He ran to the galley door leading to the pilot’s cabin, announcing he had a bomb and wanted to destroy the plane. A passenger stated Marks’s finger hovered over the power button of his device. “I’m going to blow the f***ing plane up,” Marks allegedly told him.
The timing could not have been more critical - the plane had ascended to 4000 feet in the early “sterile period” of the flight. There were 222 passengers and crew aboard. A mayday message was conveyed to the pilot, who turned the plane around and landed it back at the airport within 15 minutes. Meanwhile cabin crew and passengers overpowered Marks and restrained him with hand ties. After landing, passengers were distressed at remaining on the plane with Marks and the device for a further hour and 20 minutes. It took 40 minutes for security forces to reach the plane. According to Marks, he had heard screaming voices due to his psychosis. He believed the
plane was going to crash and wanted it turn back to Melbourne. Mr McInerney noted that Marks had achieved his wish. It was not an act of terrorism or greed, nor was there sufficient evidence of pre-planning, the judge said. However Marks had fallen under powerful delusions due to his own actions. He must have known the impact of using ice before boarding the plane, the judge said. Marks was jailed for up to 12 years, with a minimum non-parole period of nine years. He was to be deported to his homeland upon completing his term.

In November last year, the Journal revealed that Greater Dandenong Councillor Heang Tak would run for the seat of Clarinda for the Labor Party in the next state election. That's now only a few months away, so the Journal started to wonder who would take his place on council if he was successful. It's likely he will be. Retiring Labor incumbent Hong Lim received a resounding 53.27 per cent of first preference votes. Cr Tim Dark ousted long-standing Paperbark Ward representative Peter Brown at the last council election. It seemed obvious that Mr Brown would step into Cr Tak's shoes as there were only a few votes separating he and Cr Dark at the end of the count. But rather than turning to the first runnerup, a Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) spokeswoman said the vacating councillor's votes would be distributed to the remaining eligible unsuccessful candidates. "The candidate who gains more than 50 per cent of the countback votes will be elected," she said. "The successful candidate then has 48 hours to accept the position. "If they accept, the result is then declared. If they don't accept or are no longer eligible, the process is repeated again." Minh Van Tran collected quite a few preference votes, so it could be an interesting time for Greater Dandenong Council post the 24 November State Election. dandenong.starcommunity.com.au

ON THE COVER
MILESTONE FOR PARKLEA FOUNDER IN 1968 a young Andrew Facey started what would become a long and successful career in real estate. The grandson of Frank Facey, founder of Frank Facey Real Estate, Andrew rose from salesman to director and partner of the firm, taking the reigns from his father Angus in the 1970s. “When he started to let Andrew and I run the business we weren’t very old; in 1975 I was 30 and Andrew was younger than I,” said former Frank Facey Real Estate Director and longtime friend of Andrew’s, Brendan Rice. “Andrew was a gun salesman. Dandenong was starting to boom and there were lots of subdivisions, so Andrew became the go-to man,” said Mr Rice. At this time Andrew’s interest also turned to property development and in 1974, Parklea was born. “I was excited by the idea that I could be a part of building communities - places where people could live, work and play,” said Mr Facey. “That idea drove me to property development and later became Parklea’s ethos.” Parklea is now the biggest broadacre land owner in the Cardinia Shire and has residential and commercial developments from Gippsland to the Great Ocean Road. Recent developments in the South East include Timbertop Estate (Officer), Kaduna Park Estate (Officer South), Arena Shopping Centre (Officer), and Heritage Springs Estate and Heritage Springs Shopping Village (Pakenham). Parklea is continuing to change the face of the Cardinia Shire with future
Andrew Facey reviewing plans for Kaduna Park. developments planned including the largest residential estate in Cardinia Shire’s history in Pakenham East. “The population in Melbourne’s South East is booming with thousands of families making their home here. I’m proud that Parklea is an integral part of shaping new communities during this exciting period of growth.” 50 years from his beginnings as a real estate agent, Andrew Facey is still passionate about property. Accountant for Parklea and Facey since 1986, Frank Barrett, describes working for Andrew as ‘dynamic’. “He does not let an opportunity go by – he cannot sit still, metaphorically,” he said. “Parklea has enough parcels of land to develop for 20 plus years yet I could confidently predict that we will be making an arrangement to buy something else within a year or so. “When Andrew calls or starts a conversation with ‘I tell you Frankie boy’ he has some good news, you know he has done a deal or is working on one.” Learn more about Parklea and upcoming developments at parklea.com ●

IN BRIEF
It’s their honour By Casey Neill The Queen's Birthday Honours List was littered with recipients with ties to Greater Dandenong. Andrew Crockett was named a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his significant service to the law, particularly to legal aid. The nod also recognised the Hawthorn man's service to education and the community. Mr Crockett was a solicitor at Springvale Monash Legal Service in 1996 and served as a board member from 1999 to 2006. After that he became the CEO at Legal Aid Commission ACT. He's now the Victorian Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders (VACCRO) board secretary. John Hanlon and Brendan Kincade received Medals of the Order of Australia (OAM) for ser-
vice to veterans and their families. Mr Hanlon, from Cobram, helped to plan the annual RSL Springvale Remembrance Service from 2011 to 2017. Mr Kincade, from Hastings, was a volunteer pension officer at the Noble Park RSL from 1998 to 2008. He took on the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia Victorian Branch vice-president role last year. Arvind Srivastava received an OAM for service to the Indian community of Melbourne. The Torquay man's service includes a stint as the City of Greater Dandenong Interfaith Network president from 2004 to 2006. Angela Wheelton, who lives in Southbank, received an OAM for service to the community through a range of organisations. Among those was the Endeavour Hills Net-
ball Club, where she was a coach. She was also involved in Life Education Victoria, known for Healthy Harold the giraffe, the Bali Children Foundation, and Wheelton Philanthropy. Two Australian Police Medal (APM) recipients can also claim ties to Greater Dandenong. Detective Leading Senior Constable Jennifer Parker performed general duties at the Dandenong Police Station in November 1998 before transferring to Melbourne Prosecutions. She then transferred to Benalla to specialise in sex offence and child abuse investigation. Superintendent Michael John Glowaski served as Dandenong Divisional Manager during his 37-year career with Victoria Police. Anyone can nominate any Australian for an award in the Order of Australia.

Ration challenge is all for the refugees By Casey Neill
Three people have been charged over an alleged aggravated car jacking in Springvale on 30 May. Police say a woman had her car taken from her at knifepoint on Lawn Road. The car is believed to have been used for several petrol drive-offs and stealing vehicles in suburbs including Patterson Lakes, Keysborough and Noble Park between 30 May-5 June. On 6 June, a 19-year-old man was arrested after a short foot pursuit by detectives during a police raid of a house at Station Creek Way, Botanic Ridge. He was charged with aggravated carjacking, aggravated burglary and other related offences. Police say the charges relate to an aggravated burglary on Patterson Drive, Lynbrook on 1 June and an attempted aggravated carjacking on Aylmar Road, Lyndhurst on 2 June. He was also allegedly linked to a burglary and attempted aggravated burglary on Lyndhurst Boulevard, Lyndhurst on 2 June. The man was expected to face an out-ofsessions court hearing t at Dandenong Police Station on 6 June. A 19-year-old Narre Warren man was charged with car theft, theft from a motor vehicle, theft, handling proceeds of crime and committing an indictable offence on bail. He was set to appear at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 6 June. Police also charged a 17-year-old Keysborough girl with car theft and driving offences. She was bailed to appear at a children's court at a later date.
Wallet pinched from parked car
Jamie-Lee McGregor with her rations.
Thieves stole a wallet left in a car parked at a Noble Park home. Greater Dandenong CIU detectives said the thieves used credit cards that were in the wallet to make eight purchases in the Noble Park and Keysborough area. Police said the car was in a carport in Stuart Street overnight from Tuesday 15 to Wednesday 16 May. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information. 12389933-LB24-18
Jamie-Lee McGregor will live on the rations of a refugee to show her support and raise funds for aid. The 28-year-old is taking part in the Ration Challenge during Refugee Week, from Sunday 17 to Sunday 24 June. "When I first saw the small amount of rations I would be living on, I was shocked to say the least," she said. "It is truly devastating to think that people live on these rations, day in and day out. "My family, friends and colleagues have sponsored me to take part in the challenge and the money raised will support refugees in camps, and other vulnerable communities, who desperately need our help." Ms McGregor lives in Dromana and works
in Dandenong. "I've been working in the refugee and asylum seeker field for about four years now as an administration officer," she said. "I'd been feeling really down about the situation experienced by refugees overseas for quite some time and had no idea how I could help. "When I found out about the Ration Challenge through social media I immediately signed up to take part. She'll be living on a small amount of rice, flour, lentils, chick peas, beans, fish and oil. The money raised through the challenge will help to provide food, medicine and education for Syrian refugees living in camps in Jordan. Visit my.rationchallenge.org.au/jamie-lee1 to support Ms McGregor.

The local dental clinic is a proud family owned business that strives to deliver quality dental treatments to their community and neighbouring suburbs. The history of the clinic starts with Dr Sofia Monter, a general dentist, who built the business alongside her husband and practice manager, Luis Lopez. Three years ago, Sofia and Luis handed over the business to Dr Darshan Thumar, who at the time was working with them as an associate dentist. Dr Darshan Thumar soon relocated to a bigger premises, allowing him to continue providing excellent services to both new and loyal customers. Smiles First family remained united after the changeover and has continued to grow. Today, the practice consists of four large sized surgeries fitted with the latest technologies, such as intraoral cameras, digital x-rays and patient comforts within the relaxed ambience. The friendly team is eager to ensure patient visits are enjoyable and meet all dental needs and expectations. "Working at Smiles First is like taking care of my family. It is my second home and I plan on spending the rest of my working career here," Smiles First Senior Dental Assistant Arnie said. "We are very patient oriented and all patients feel as if they are at home when they walk in the door. It's a very happy place to be!" Smiles First aims to explain everything as they go in order to help customers make informed choices. This means that financial

Richmond’s flogging of Essendon on Saturday night was particularly sweet for ardent Tiger fan, Anthony Quirk. Much to Anthony’s delight he was able to view every minute of the 71 point flogging on his new 65 inch smart TV thanks to Star News Group and Harvey Norman. Harvey Norman delivered the television to Anthony’s Narre Warren home on Saturday just in time for the live broadcast. “It was fantastic to be able to watch the game on such a big screen, especially as I know a few Essendon supporters who used to give me hell,“ Anthony said. Anthony saw the competition advertised in his copy of the Berwick News (Dandenong Star Journal's sister paper) and entered “straight away“ online. “I didn’t expect to win the TV but as the saying goes you’ve got to be in to win it.“ Anthony is a keen consumer of Star News both in print and online. “I do read the paper. The stories are interesting and I like keep up to date with the lo-
cal police and what they doing. I like to keep myself informed about what’s going on with issues in the area.“ As well as football and other live sport, Anthony is looking forward to scribing to Netflix now he has an internet-capable television. Anthony has already sold his old TV, which he bought 15 years ago, to a workmate. “My old TV was only 45 inches but was heavier than the new one. I’ve hooked (the new TV) up to internet and can hook up my ipad if I wish to see photos on a big screen. “I watch movies than anything else. I have a decent DVD collection, box sets mainly. I am a great fan of the X-Files and science fiction shows like Babylon 5. “ Anthony thanked both Star News Group and Harvey Norman for running the competition. “I really appreciate their fine gesture in offering the TV for the competition. Harvey Norman’s delivery was very prompt and quick. The manager (Grant Hammond) was also very nice and called to congratulate me.“

NEWS Rob Rees delivers the program.
Eight-week wonders By Casey Neill A cooking course with a difference is putting the heat on businesses to step into the kitchen. The Kitchen Challenge is a leadership, teamwork and personal development program delivered in a commercial kitchen. Chef Rob Rees, known for helping celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to transform British school lunches, delivers the program and has done for seven years. Participants explore and develop leadership skills, discover learning styles and face a range of challenges in a safe and supported space. Mr Rees measures their wellbeing along the
way. They also learn a range of cooking skills, and ultimately produce a restaurant-quality lunch for 60 guests. The Journal sat down for Kitchen Challenge cohort four's final lunch at Birches Restaurant at Chisholm Institute in Dandenong on Friday 8 June. The challengers served up gnocchi, scallops, honey-glazed lamb, mushroom ragout, gulab jamun and deconstructed jelly slice. The group included six managers and leaders from white goods manufacturer Miele and six local asylum seekers. "Within an hour of being in the room together they shared 100 per cent of their vulnerability with each other," Mr Rees said.
"They became friends." Miele funded the eight-week course for all participants. Together they shared a journey that pushed them out of their comfort zones to achieve personal and professional growth. The City of Greater Dandenong received funding from VicHealth to run two more challenges this year, in August and October. Local business leaders can get involved at no cost. They're encouraged to nominate two leaders, one to participate in each challenge. They can contact Jennifer Ebdon at City of Greater Dandenong via jebdon@cgd.vic.gov.au or 0438 510 840.
Community member Doreen serves up an entree.
Young workers renew old More than 200 Dandenong students are helping to return an old train station building to its former glory. The Chisholm Institute crew is restoring a heritage-listed shelter salvaged from the Clayton station during level crossing removal works. It's more than 120 years old and will soon be returned to the precinct as a historical feature. Apprentice carpenter Dale Pryor, whose father is also in the trade, said he'd expected to spend most of his apprenticeship sweeping floors. Now he can't wait to show off his handiwork to his mates. "It's not every day you get to work on something so old, that members of the public have been through every day," he said. Level crossing removal authority CEO Kevin Devlin said many people felt connected with railway lines because they were so rich with history. "There aren't too many examples of sta-

A heritage advisor and a heritage architect are guiding the refurbishment. Chisholm CEO Dr Rick Ede said students needed real-world experience to find their way into great jobs. "This is a fantastic training opportunity they wouldn't normally have," he said.
Apprentice carpenters Adam Kotsakos and Dale Pryor. "It gives them the chance to think about how best to honour the original design using construction techniques."
Students found old tickets and flyers within the station walls. These items will be featured in a permanent indoor display.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A
THREE … ways to avoid spreading your cold this winter
with podiatrist Ngan 'Kim' Harwood
What is something people don't know about you? I'm partially deaf in the left ear and am shortsighted. What was your most memorable moment? I have to name two moments as they're both equally memorable - my wedding day and the birth of my children. What would your last meal be? A big bowl of pho soup (Vietnamese rice noodle soup). What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness? I would love to see my Dad again. He died when I was two years old and I don't have any memory of him. I would also like to be present at the birth of my first grandchild. What is your favourite television show? Trust Me I'm a Doctor. What is your favourite book? Wild Swans by Jung Chan. What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party? I immediately thought of my family but then I see them every day. So other than them, I would invite Kitty Flannagan, Barack Obama, Michael Jackson, Kathrine Switzer, Malala Yousafzai and my husband. What has been your most embarrassing moment? I committed an embarrassing social faux pas when I asked someone if they were pregnant when they weren't at all! At school I ... ... was a quiet achiever - shy but very competitive. What was your first or best concert? The first and only concert I've been to was to see Kylie Minogue. My colleague convinced me to go since she idolises her. I'm not a fan of going to concerts normally.
Ngan Harwood.
1
Stay home if you're sick and keep sick kids home from school. Get plenty of rest and fluids and return when symptoms subside. Log-in from home if there's something that can't wait.
2
Use tissues for sniffles, sneezes or coughs and throw them away immediately. Don't put them in your pocket. Don't use a handkerchief. Use a tissue to cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, or sneeze or cough into your bent elbow rather than your hand.
3
Take extra care to wash your hands often, especially after blowing your nose or using the bathroom, and before handling food or dishes. Clean surfaces that you handle often, like doorknobs, light switches, keyboards, mice, and telephones. Wash clothes, bedding, and towels.

Rays learn from the best By Hayley Wildes
Stingrays players were all ears as Brisbane Lions legend Simon Black explained a drill at training recently. 181670 AFL system when he was taken with pick #4 in the 2017 AFL rookie draft by North Melbourne. Murphy made his AFL debut in Round 11 against the Brisbane Lions. He didn’t disappoint; gathering 14 disposals and revelling in a big 54-point win. Black talked about Murphy’s success and the hard work he put in to
get drafted. “We were pretty thrilled for him. He’s a great young man and he worked his butt off, so it’s just really pleasing to see him get the opportunity and be rewarded for his hard work in the last 18 months,” he said. “He’s quite a big-bodied guy and has played
City downs Suns in a table-topping win By Hayley Wildes In National Premier League (NPL) 2 East soccer action over the weekend, Dandenong City moved to the top of the table with a comprehensive 5-0 win over Goulburn Valley Suns FC at home on Saturday afternoon. Dandenong City got off to a great start with Shaun Filipovic and Liam McCormick goaling at the nine and 17-minute mark, respectively. City headed into halftime with a two-nil lead and piled more pain on the Suns’ defence after the break. In the 59th minute, Filipovic scored his second goal for the game, before Ben Everson made the most of a tired defence to score his own brace with goals in the 78th and 84th minutes. The 5-0 win capped off a great team performance on both offence and defence. Meanwhile, the Springvale White Eagles took it right up to Moreland City, who were sit-
ting on top of the table before Round 15 kicked off. In a first half that saw some promising opportunities go begging, no goals were scored by either team, setting up what was an enthralling second half battle. In the 58th minute, Moreland City’s Lisandro Paz finished off some fine work from Jesse Makarounas to put through a header and give the home team a 1-0 lead. Springvale refused to go away though and fought tooth-and-nail for the remainder of the game. Their hard work was finally rewarded in the 87th minute as a penalty was awarded and the White Eagles were able to convert to even the scores at 1-1 in the 89th minute. Full time scores were 1-1 in an impressive display from the White Eagles. In other NPL news, the Dandenong Thunder last week announced Veton Korcari as their new head coach in what is sure to provide a massive mid-season boost to the Thunder.

a fair bit of inside mid, so he can play that role really well. He can also go forward or he can go back - he’s a bit of a utility, I believe, and he’s got some real attributes that can help him survive in the AFL.” The Stingrays return on Saturday, 16 June at Shepley Oval when they face Oakleigh.

Korcari, one of the most celebrated and well-regarded personalities in Thunder history, returns to the club after Andy Vargas and Dandenong parted ways last week. Korcari’s playing career at the Dandenong yielded many wins and memorable moments. Perhaps the greatest achievement was winning the Dockerty Cup, along with the Victorian Premier League minor premiership and championship double, in what was a magical 2012. In 2017, he helped the Thunder to the NPL 2 Championship as he took over in extra time of the grand final against Northcote City. In typical Korcari fashion, he put a tremendous bicycle kick into the back of the net, before also setting up Alon Blumgart in the final seconds to seal a 2-0 win. With 11 games still to be played in the NPL Vic 2018 season, the Thunder sits within a logjam between the fourth and ninth positions on the ladder.

Although there was no TAC Cup action over the weekend, the Dandenong Stingrays were still busy at work, continuing to drive improvement as they look to stay atop the TAC Cup ladder. Last Wednesday night, the squad was put through its paces by an AFL legend; three-time premiership player, Norm Smith and Brownlow Medallist, Simon Black. He now runs the Simon Black Academy - an elite Aussie Rules and education academy - and knows plenty about the talent coming through the pathways these days. He was impressed with what he saw from the Rays. “They’re a really committed bunch of guys and they’re obviously going really well, which is great to see and they’re really well led by Craig Black,” he said. “I just did a couple of drills with them and worked with some of the midfielders on some stoppage craft and just tried to add my bit of experience and share some ideas. Obviously, it brings back memories for me - I had aspirations at that age to make it into the AFL.” Black was also impressed with togetherness of the squad. “They’re a great footy club - it had a great feel and atmosphere within the group. I got that feeling that they’re a tight-knit group too - it was a pleasure to be down there for the night,” he said. The Simon Black Academy, which is in its third year, provides its student-athletes with the opportunity to progress their football skills, while also studying a university degree in business and sports development. Former Dandenong Stingray Tom Murphy attended the Simon Black Academy and was their first student-athlete to be drafted into the

She’s one to watch By Hayley Wildes Oneata Schwalger has been around rugby for as long as she can remember. Having made it to the pinnacle of rugby union - playing at the top level and representing Australia - Oneata, who plays for South Eastern Titans Rugby League Club, is now focused on making a career in rugby league. With her synonymous determination and effort, the 32-year-old mother of two is well on her way to doing just that. Recently, Oneata represented the Combined Affiliated States (made up of players from Northern Territory, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia) at the Women's National Rugby League Championships on the Gold Coast. Taking on the rugby league powerhouse states of New South Wales and Queensland, Oneata and her teammates never backed down and although they were unable to come away with a win, there was great pride in their performance. "It was awesome, especially playing against NSW and QLD teams for the first time. Despite only having two days of training as a team, we weren't far off and I know we can be up there competing for the top spot next year." Oneata said. Oneata's toughness, ability to run through packs and make game-changing plays is what makes her such a tantalising player to watch. Her journey to representing Victoria as a member of the Combined Affiliated States hasn't been an easy one. She admitted she had some mental demons due to shoulder surgery which took months to overcome. The countless hours of rehab, treatment, travel and training were all worth it for Oneata, who ultimately hopes to get drafted to the NRL Women's Premiership competition which kicks off later this year with the four-team competition to be played as double-headers alongside NRL finals matches. "You've just to do what you've got to do to make your dream come true." Oneata said. "100% that's the goal [to get drafted]." With great aspirations, she hasn't lost sight of what her local club - the South Eastern Titans - means to her and how they have helped her thus far. "The club has been awesome." She said. "There's a great bunch of girls there and I love it because of the culture. It took a lot of pressure off me because of the way the girls are and how family-orientated the club is." Women's rugby league continues to go from strength to strength, and with players like Oneata Schwalger taking the game on and providing plenty of highlights, make sure you keep an eye on what the future holds.
Blazing the Team 11 trail Australian football greats Theresa Deas and Debbie Nichols have signed on as Team 11 ambassadors. A week after celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Matildas' first-ever appearance at a FIFA tournament - a tournament at which Deas, Nichols and fellow south-east Victorian product Jane Oakley all played - Deas and Nichols have declared support for their home region's push for A-League and W-League admission. Deas, an 18-times capped Matilda across a 10-year international career, represented Victoria for 18 years throughout playing days at Dandenong City, Dandenong North, Waverley City, Berwick City and Casey Comets. Nichols earned 12 Matildas caps and played for Victoria for 20 years as well as for Springvale, Dandenong North, Dandenong, Berwick City and Casey Comets. Football Federation Victoria Hall of Fame member Nichols, now a junior coach with Southern United in the WNPL, said it felt right for her to become a Team 11 ambassador. "I've been involved in football in the southeast since 1977," Nichols said. "There is so much opportunity in this region to have an A-League and W-League side. If Team 11 can get the licence football will boom even more than it is already is. "You see the talent even just in Gippsland, who are hampered by distance, it's a hotbed. "And then, when you include the south-east corridor, there is no doubt there is capability and the players to have a strong W-League team in the south-east." Deas, a Football Federation Australia Hall of Fame member, said it is imperative a W-League bid is attached to Team 11's A-League bid. "I'm a Dandenong girl. I played all of my career in the Dandneong-Casey region and it's at the bottom of my heart to promote football in the area," Deas said. "I really think if we're going to go forward for women's football in this state and in this country then there should be more equality. "For that reason I think we should make sure if there are any new A-League bids that we start at the start for both sexes and that every opportunity is given to all people who want to play football, so there is an actual career pathway from grassroots through to elite for every child."
