Track showdown By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Cyclists gather in support of the Maurice Kirby Velodrome on 10 October. 186015 Picture: GARY SISSONS "I was training here even when riding at international level. It's always used." The planned replacement gravel path would be "completely useless" for riding track bikes, he said. Maree Davenport, the Liberal candidate for Mulgrave, used to ride the locally "unique" amenity as a kid. "It's always been a safe place to ride away from the roads. "It's in terrible repair but that's because of years of neglect by the council." On 8 October, Greater Dandenong city planning director Jody Bosman said a formal report on Parkfield Reserve would be tabled for a vote within four to six weeks.

FACTORY DIRECT BLINDS FOR LESS

The council had engaged in a three step consultation process starting in December 2016, including website surveys and a postcard survey of all residents within a kilometre of the reserve. The track did not meet Cycling Victoria requirements as a velodrome in terms of gradient, safety fences and a safe ride-off area, Mr Bosman said. An estimated extra 46 soccer pitches and four cricket fields were required in the next 5-10 years but there was also no "known demand" for competition cycling in Greater Dandenong. There was no established cycling club in the municipality, and there were other suitable velodromes across Melbourne, Mr Bosman said.

port the destruction of the track in favour of a shared path. "That wasn't what Dad was all about. "A shared path wasn't his concept of things." At the velodrome, rider John O'Brien was amazed he didn't know about the track until the protest campaign several weeks ago. "It's a very casual velodrome because it doesn't have a massive bank on it. You can teach kids how to ride without any cars around. "It's a piece of infrastructure that should definitely be kept." State champion rider David Koroknai, of Rowville, has ridden on the track regularly in the past nine years.

The hotly contested fate of Maurice Kirby Velodrome in Noble Park will be known as soon as the end of October. In recent months, cyclists have mounted a showdown with Greater Dandenong Council over its preferred demolition of the track at Parkfield Reserve. The council insists no final decision has been made on its draft reserve masterplan which would replace the velodrome with soccer pitches and a shared path. Springvale cyclist Kym Nguyen has doubts over Greater Dandenong Council's three-step community consultation. In the absence of a cycling club at the track, Cycling Victoria nor Maurice Kirby's family were sounded out about the demolition, he said. At a recent meeting with him, council officers refused to discuss the track, he said. "We're left with a situation where literally nothing can be done because they've shut their doors." The 'Save Noble Park Velodrome' group argue that a $75,000 resurface is all that's needed to repair the asphalt track. Missy Kempster regularly walks her pram around the velodrome. She had been unaware of the planned demolition when Star News met her at the track on 10 October. She disagreed with Greater Dandenong's claim that the velodrome was largely disused. "That's not right. On any given weekend, on any given day, you'll see people using it. "A lot of mums walk around the track while the kids play on the grassed area (inside the track)." The velodrome is named after legendary bike-shop owner and sports commentator Maurice Kirby, who founded Pedal Clubs of Victoria. At a recent council meeting, Cr Roz Blades publicly assured that Mr Kirby would continue to be honoured at the reserve. Mr Kirby's daughter Gayle George said there was "no way" her father would sup-

IN BRIEF Correction

Crohn’s Disease patient gets bailed By Cam Lucadou-Wells A Dandenong North woman accused of shoplifting more than $10,000 of goods has been freed on bail after arguing prison authorities had failed to properly manage her Crohn's Disease. Jade Emery, 24, proved 'exceptional circumstances' - the highest test for bail - in a hearing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 8 October. She had already spent 64 days in remand on the charges including burglary while on bail, theft, failing to appear on bail, and possession of anabolic steroids, testosterone and 'ice'. She and her boyfriend were accused of stealing a $3499 digital camera and $1299 security camera from a store room at JB Hi-Fi at Fountain Gate on 7 June. They also bought a $70 toilet at Bunnings Keysborough, removed it from its box and then smuggled out an angle grinder and laser level worth $1294 inside the box, police claimed. They allegedly used a similar method stealing more than $1900 of power tool kits and a

set of bathroom scales from a Bunnings store in Wonthaggi on 2 June. The same day, the couple stole $4389 of game consoles from the rear storeroom of a Big W outlet, police nominal informant Sergeant Shane Arnheim told the court. Emery was also accused of stealing a $1499 Samsung Galaxy Note phone from a David Jones store in Chadstone in November. Defence lawyer Bridie O'Malley said there may be issues of whether CCTV footage clearly identified Emery or the unrecovered stolen goods during the incidents. Police argue that Emery had been identified as a result of police circulars. Emery was found suitable for the CISP supervised bail program, the court was told. She had a "positive" engagement with a CISP program in 2017 before a relationship breakdown triggered her relapse into illicit drugs, Ms O'Malley said. Emery had abstained from drugs while in remand. But her Crohn's affliction had also "flared up" due to a runout of medication and improper diet in prison, Ms O'Malley said.

In our story 'RSL pokies bid', we reported that Greater Dandenong Council had successfully opposed a bid for extra poker machines at Noble Park RSL in 2017. The applicant was not the RSL sub-branch, but Noble Park Football Social Club.

Springvale man charged after raid

She had had major bowel surgery to treat the disease. "It took seven hours to take her to hospital," Ms O'Malley said. "It's a sensitive issue because the flare-up can happen quite quickly. "It's a bit of a ticking time bomb and it is weighing on her quite heavily." Emery told the court that she had failed to go to court in February because she had been rushed to hospital by ambulance. In granting bail, magistrate Julie O'Donnell relied heavily on the "significant" medical issues. She also noted stable accommodation being offered by close relatives. On the other hand, she noted Emery had 13 pages of criminal history, had failed on two community corrections orders and was accused of "sophisticated" thefts. As part of Emery's bail, she was ordered to report daily to police, comply with CISP, obey a night curfew, not attend shopping centres and not to associate with the co-accused boyfriend. She will next appear at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 29 October.

A man has been charged with trafficking heroin after a police raid of a home in Athol Road, Springvale. A Victoria Police divisional response unit allegedly seized about 20 grams of heroin, a shotgun cartridge and small amounts of GHB and cannabis during the raid about 8.10am on 8 October. The 24-year-old Springvale man was arrested at the scene and charged with trafficking and possessing heroin and other ammunition and drug possession charges. He was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 14 December.

Victim bashed in street robbery Two males have bashed and robbed a victim on Princes Highway, Dandenong early on Sunday 7 October. The victim had been walking about 5am when the robbers emerged from behind a car. One of the offenders grabbed the victim by his T-shirt and punched him in the face. The second robber joined in and punched the victim’s face. During the scuffle, the victim dropped his phone and wallet, which were stolen by his attackers. He suffered a laceration over his left eye and a lump above his right. Any information to Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7487 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au

Caring for everyone By Cam Lucadou-Wells The sacrifice of unpaid carers is too readily overlooked. Not that Greater Dandenong couples Faye and Graham Cain and Gary and Leonie Chirgwin would think of their care for their adult sons with Fragile X Syndrome over the past 50 years as a sacrifice. "We love them as much as anybody does for their kids," Mr Cain says. Ms Cain says she's been reluctant to send sons Damien and Raymond both with Fragile X Syndrome even into respite. "I don't mind," she says. "They're mine." They've endured ostracism from family and friends, as well as misguided hurtful advice from teachers and doctors. Mr Chirgwin recalls a doctor telling him that son Adam would not live past 10 years old. "He has just had his 50th birthday." Adam was not 'meant' to be able to write but recently sent an email on his iPad to his father: "Hi Dad, How you going?". "Just talking about it nearly makes me cry," Mr Chirgwin says. Along the way, the couples have become supports and friends for each other. Their sons have kicked on into employment and sports but things would have been easier with more access to support and information in the past, they say. "No one came knocking on the door and said I've heard you had a handicapped child, this is what we've got available for you," Ms Chirgwin said. There is an estimated 8000 unpaid carers in the Dandenong electorate, and 736,000 across the state. They care for loved ones with a disability, mental health condition, chronic illness or are ageing.

Leonie Chirgwin, Gary Chirgwin, Gabrielle Williams, Graham Cain and Faye Cain. 186244 Picture: GARY SISSONS Statistically, they are more likely to have chronic illness and experience social isolation, financial disadvantage and mental health challenges. Ms Chirgwin used her nursing training to look after Adam, but her career fell by the wayside. Getting back to work one night a week even made a world of difference. It was a form of respite. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams who is Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers grew up in a family of eight children - three of whom had intellectual disabilities. She was involved in a recent $50 million carers package by the Government that helps support carers financially and emotionally. It includes 100,000 extra respite hours a year, expanding to carers of someone with a mental illness.

There is also half-price public transport fares, a $4 million boost for carer peer support groups and support for school students who juggle being carers at home. Ms Williams said the peer support groups were important because the "best source of information and support for carers is often other carers". "We reduce social isolation, connect carers to information sources and give them some downtime in a non-judgemental environment." The package also targets young carers, often overlooked as carers of siblings or parents with special needs. "They often carry a lot of extra responsibilities at home," Ms Williams said. "Sadly, young carers sometimes go unrecognised in education environments, and they are often in need of more support to help them stay in school."

Can you imagine a time when Noble Park was a treasure trove of rare and wondrous orchids, flowers and other native flora? It would be little more than a dim memory if not for the deft watercolours of the late Fred Woodman. Mr Woodman's family will formally donate more than 200 of his botanical paintings and sketches to the National Herbarium of Victoria at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne on 16 October. The collection includes more than 95 portraits of species that have dwelled locally, such as trigger plants, greenhood and tiger orchids, banksias and flax-lilies. They are immortalised by Mr Woodman's sure brush-strokes. His great-niece Sandy Brightman lived in a dwelling next to him on the family property, while many of these works were produced. "He was so meticulous in everything he did." In his final days in 2016, Mr Woodman expressed a wish that his illustrations would be available for botanists, researchers and for all those with an interest in natural history. The family have generously donated copyright for the Royal Botanic Gardens to use and share the artworks. There was no request for royalties. "It wasn't what Fred was all about," Ms Brightman said. "His wish was that the works would not be lost. They are now on record forever." Mr Woodman was also one of the founders

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 17 October 1918 The War In view of the possibility of important news coming though at any time the shire president (Cr Abbott) informs us that he has arranged for the flag to be flown on the Town hall - if the news is sufficient to warrant it. On Sunday night about 11pm, requests were made to ring the Fire bell, and the church bells, but this will only be done if the news may be regarded as the peace declaration and be sufficiently verified. We hope the bells may soon ring.

Trash and Treasure Market opens at 8am next Saturday at the Village Drive in Theatre Cranbourne Rd Dandenong.

A total of 800 selling spaces are available and no licence is necessary ... ..and the market is open "come rain, hail or shine.

20 years ago 19 October 1998 Footbridge boost for village

The old picturesque fishing village of Tooradin became a step closer for visitors when a new footbridge was installed by the City of Casey and a family business Dandenong Mobile Cranes. A crew lowered a footbridge into place across a spillway to give visitors and residents easier access to parking grounds and picnic facilities. Operation Lowering was carried out early last Monday when an 80 tonne Demag mobile crane was used to complete the work. Mr Grant Evans of Dandenong Mobile Cranes said it took an hour to lift the timber bridge, weighing 4.5 tonnes into place. Mr Evans father Mr 'Snow" Evans 60 has been in the crane industry for 40 years and the company has operated for the past 7 years. "We worked on the Melbourne Docklands project the Melbourne City Link project and we do jobs big or small" Mr Grant Evans said. "We also

did a lot of work when the Dandenong Plaza Shopping centre was being built."

5 years ago 14 October 2013 It's none of our business but ... Dandenong Plaza will become a sea of blue when "not quite cooked" cops flood the centre this month. For the first time in Dandenong uniformed Victoria Police Academy recruits under teacher supervision will interact with shoppers and traders for about five hours to practice the skills they learnt in the classroom. Dandenong police will connect with the community about Neighbourhood Watch and proactive policing during the exercises on 17 October. Compiled by Dandenong & District Historical Society

Fires sparked child fears 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. We went through the Black Friday bushfires in 1939, which were among the worst on record. We were returning by train after spending time at the beach at Half Moon Bay. The old fire bell on the wooden tower on Robinson Street hill rang for about three days. Mum's side of the family went through some of the worst of these fires in Gippsland and Wood's Point. Throughout Victoria 71 people lost their lives and 650 houses were destroyed. A black pall of smoke hung over Dandenong for a week and with the eerie sound of the continuous bell tolling, it became one of our most frightening childhood memories.

JACK LOOKS

BACK JACK JOHNSON Mum and dad were close friends of the Thompson sisters who were also nursing sisters. They ran Murray House private hospital for Doctor Langley. It was a large Victorian-styled weatherboard house with a veranda across the front and along the right side. It sat on the hillside among tall trees on the corner of Thomas and Scott streets. From Thomas Street a brick path led up wide steps to the veranda and front door and continued around the corner to the entrance

on the Scott Street side. When Doctor Langley lived there it was called Holland House. Eventually a new clinic extension was built at the back of the house. It was on the corner of what became Oldham Lane with its frontage to Scott Street. The lane was named after Alf Oldham who was one of the Murray House doctors. He lived in Robinson Street near Rodd Street. Holland House gave way to a commercial building which is on the site today. Alongside Murray House as you walked towards Walker Street were many substantial weatherboard houses, many still occupied by their original families. There was another weatherboard home used as a private hospital further down Thomas Street called St Helen's. It was on the opposite side of the road, across Walker Street, and down past the Boo-

merang Picture Theatre. It was later extended out to the edge of the footpath and became an electrical appliance shop and contracting business. The owner was a lifetime mate of mine. That site would in later days become part of the new State Electricity Commission Building. Next to St Helen's, beside what is now Cameron Lane, was the Victorian weatherboard house of the Cameron family. It was built on the site of the original Dunn's Hotel, established in the 1840s. On the other side of Cameron Lane and fronting Thomas Street stood the old bakery and attached to it by a covered walkway was the cake shop and cafe on the corner of Foster and Thomas streets. This area and McMahon's antique shop and other shops around the corner in Foster Street would once have been the paddock and garden of Dunn's Hotel.

Dangerous driver on ice By Cam Lucadou-Wells An erratic unlicensed driver with "enlarged pupils" and five grams of 'ice' in her unregistered car has nearly caused a head-on crash while crossing over double white lines, a court has heard. Serena Greco, allegedly unsteady on her feet, claimed her dangerous driving was caused by a lack of sleep shortly after the near-miss on Belgrave-Gembrook Road, Avonsleigh at 8.40am on 24 March. Her car contained drug paraphernalia such as deal bags and digital scales; Greco denied the drugs were hers. The mother of four faced multiple counts of

drug possession, driving disqualified and driving an unregistered car, as well as stealing 40 utility lights from a Noble Park North property. Her defence lawyer told Dandenong Magistrates Court on 8 October that Greco had developed an ice habit since a relationship breakdown. A shooting in her backyard caused her to flee from her Noble Park home, the lawyer said. "She had nothing to with her or her family or her associates. "It seemed to be a mistake on behalf of the shooters. No one was hurt." She was then rendered effectively homeless, her lawyer said. She'd since made significant inroads on

drug treatment. She'd also seen psychologist for previously undiagnosed mental health issues behind her "self-medicating" and offending, the lawyer said. However, Greco had dropped out of contact during her community corrections order this year, still owing 110 hours of unpaid work. Magistrate Julie O'Donnell noted she'd already given Greco a second chance on the CCO despite further offending. "These are the same submissions when she breached the order in February." Ms O'Donnell was troubled by Greco's dangerous driving that "without question put the community at risk" and multiple CCO breaches. "She would have been told clearly by me that

if she breached this order, she'd end up in jail. "It's a nonsense for me to believe she would now comply on that order." Up until last year, Greco lived a "clean life" employed as an aged-care nurse before her life "fall apart", Ms O'Donnell said. She adjourned the case, requesting proof of Greco's contention that she had passed every thrice-weekly drug screen since February. "She's facing a jail sentence," Ms O'Donnell said. "I don't want people in court to think that clean drug screens will change my view." Greco will next appear at Dandenong Magistrates Court for sentencing on 29 October.

Daytime PSOs promised By Cam Lucadou-Wells

12398440-ACM43-18

Dandenong railway station will be guarded by daytime Protective Services Officers (PSOs), if the Liberal-Nationals Coalition wins the upcoming State Election. The station has been identified by the Coalition as among 20 "daytime crime hotspots". Currently staffed by PSOs during the night, the station would receive an extra shift of PSOs from 10am-6pm. Under the plan, an extra 100 PSOs would be recruited and deployed. Community Safety spokesman Edward O'Donohue said the move would make Victoria safer. "We are going to put more police on the beat and more PSOs at train stations like Dandenong. "If we are going to encourage more people to use more public transport then we need to make sure users are safe and feel safe." According to the Coalition, crime in Dandenong had risen by 7 per cent in the past four years. This included an 89 per cent increase in offences involving dangerous throwing of objects and 17 per cent more assaults of police and emergency services workers. According to Police Association figures there are 190 fewer uniform police in the state than in 2013, the Coalition argues. The Government however claims it has funded 3135 new frontline police to be rolled out by 2021. Ninety-six of them have been allocated to the Dandenong Division, which includes Greater Dandenong and Casey. It has also argued that crime rates have dropped by 9 per cent in Greater Dandenong over the past 12 months. "We've already announced funding for an additional mobile 100 PSOs, to be rolled out across the public transport network," a Government spokesman said. "Of these, 25 new PSOs have already been deployed."

Leigh says afternoon traffic "mayhem" is routine at Princes Highway, Dandenong South.

Kelly is often stuck in "bumper-to-bumper" traffic during school runs in Doveton.186294

Traffic mire Reduce your bills with solar. It’s your turn. Save with the sun. It’s that simple. With new Victorian solar rebates, eligible homes can claim half the cost of solar panels – up to $2,225.

Within five minutes, there was a nose-to-tail bingle. Then a car maneuvered back and across into a mile of stuck traffic to make an illegal U-turn. It’s a “pretty much standard” afternoon on the Princes Highway, Dandenong South says Doveton resident Leigh. He as well as several frustrated motorists spoke to Star News, as part of our Congestion Day visit to our worst traffic choke-spots on 11 October. The east-bound section was “mayhem” from 3pm-7pm, Leigh said. It would routinely take 20 minutes to drive a kilometre from Prince Mark Hotel to the South Gippsland Freeway.

“It’s just ridiculous. It has been for years.” As a result, he’s seen drivers do the “stupidest things” such as driving the wrong way on an off-ramp, or making illegal turns to escape the traffic quagmire. “It’s pretty much standard around here.” Passing motorist Scott said: “I think one of the major problems is all the (traffic) lights. They stop-start everywhere and it’s all out of whack. “They work but they don’t ... mainly up higher at the (South Gippsland) freeway.” One of our Facebooks reader said the freeway overpass should be widened to three lanes with an extra right-hand turning lane. Another for an eastbound fly-over from the South Gippsland to Monash freeways. In the morning peak, Star News recorded the woes of Heatherton Road drivers, telling of long queues on the Monash Freeway on-ramp. Kelly described “bumper-to-bumper” roads all over Doveton during school drop-off runs. “The more lanes there are (on the M1), the more cars there are. So it doesn’t make any difference.” A Facebook reader said that extra Monash Freeway lanes didn’t help traffic flow on the on-ramps and surrounding roads. Another called for better public transport so more people could leave their cars at home.

FOCUS ON … EDUCATION CHOICES

Cycling for a good cause Four Dandenong High School students recently took part in United Energy’s iconic Around the Bay cycling event. Teens Christian, Tamara, Nyaluak and Casey were among more than 10,000 cyclists who took part in the event and rode to raise money for children’s education charity The Smith Family. The event took place on Sunday 7 October and saw the four students and two teachers take part in the 50km ride. The six riders set off from Albert Park before making their way to Elwood, then over the West Gate Bridge where they hit Williamstown before returning to the finish line at Albert Park. Dandenong High School Health/PE Learning Leader Ryan Anderson explained that the students took part in the event as a component of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, which is a youth development program. The program empowers all young Australians aged 14 to 24 to explore their full potential regardless of their location or circumstance. There are three levels of ‘Awards’ (Bronze, Silver and Gold), and to earn an Award, each young person must learn a skill, improve their physical well-being, volunteer in their community and experience a team adventure in a new environment. Mr Anderson said that the program encourages students to become good leaders and take ownership of their actions and projects. Along with the Dandenong High School community,

Rachael Delaney plans to enrol in the Diploma of Nursing at Chisholm through the Victorian Government's Free TAFE for Priority Courses initiative.

Free TAFE courses to fill gap

Dandenong High School students Christian, Tamara, Nyaluak and Casey recently took part in United Energy's Around the Bay cycling event. Mr Anderson said he was very impressed with the student’s achievements to date. Dandenong High School is located at 92106 Princes Highway in Dandenong. For more information, phone 9792 0561 or visit www. dandenong-hs.vic.edu.au.

TAFE campuses across Victoria, including Chisholm, will help to train and educate a skilled workforce to underpin growing industries, through the Victorian Government’s Free TAFE for Priority Courses initiative. For Rachael Delaney, this represents the chance to study and gain valuable qualifications where the demand for skilled workers is strongest in local industries. Through Free TAFE, the Victorian Government will cover tuition fees for 30 priority TAFE courses and 20 pre-apprenticeship courses from 1 January 2019 for eligible students. Ms Delaney plans to enrol in the Diploma of Nursing. Ms Delaney always had a strong interest in health and nursing, but having left school at 15 years of age felt that it was not achievable. Course costs were also a major concern. “I’ve been hairdressing for 19 years. I’ve always seemed to have had at least two jobs at a time and have even juggled three at a time to

provide for my family,“ she said. TAFE has allowed Ms Delaney to pursue nursing, which is not only an interest but also pays much better, meaning that she won’t have to work multiple jobs. Course costs are considerable and she agrees that Free TAFE makes an education accessible. Chisholm is now taking enrolments for Free TAFE courses that begin in 2019. Chisholm is offering most of the courses on the Free TAFE list. These include Community Services, Justice, Accounting and Bookkeeping, Disability, Mental Health, Youth Work, Cyber Security, Plumbing, as well as Building and Construction. For the full list of Free TAFE courses or for more information, visit Chisholm.edu.au. Eligibility criteria apply and other fees and charges, such as student services fees or materials fees, may also apply. Students can check their eligibility by calling Chisholm on 1300 244 746.

Demystifying vasectomy

Autumn Place park opening Doveton's newest park has been opened as part of the ongoing Autumn Place Family and Community Centre project. At the opening, Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said the park would provide a "muchneeded community space for families". Local Government Minister Marlene Kairouz said such projects were required in the fast-growing outer suburbs. "That's why we're investing in local projects that will benefit local residents for years to come."

The MPs, Casey's mayor Geoff Ablett and councillors also inspected the under-construction community centre adjoining the park. It will contain a kindergarten for four-yearolds, maternal and child health services and a space for community groups and services. The park and community centre form a $4.675 million project joint funded by the State Government ($3.6 million) and Casey Council ($1.075 million). The community centre is expected to be complete by December.

Not many people are aware that November 14 is this year’s World Vasectomy Day. The event started in 2012 in Australia and has been gathering pace ever since. Urologist Philip McCahy of the South East Vasectomy Clinic said that the idea behind the day is to demystify vasectomy and encourage men to come forward "for what is the simplest and safest form of contraception." “A lot of rubbish is written and spoken about vasectomy,” Mr McCahy said. “All sorts of techniques are described such as ‘no scalpel’, ‘open-ended’ and ‘minimallyinvasive’. It does not really matter which technique is used as long as it is effective with very few complications. “As with most operative procedures, it is better to see someone who is experienced and can deal with any problems that arise. I would routinely advise any patient to avoid a general anaesthetic if it is possible as recovery is much quicker, so I perform the majority of my vasectomies with local anaesthetic.” Mr McCahy said that men should be aware that the procedure is irreversible and that additional contraception is required for a few months (until the semen is clear of sperm). “There is a very small failure rate (much lower than the pill) and there is a small risk of chronic testicular pains which can be tricky to treat,” Mr McCahy said. “Don’t let that put you off and think about joining the thousands of men who are taking the snip.” Philip McCahy is also a consultant Urologist at Casey Hospital in Berwick.

St John of God Berwick Hospital has joined forces with the Sleep and Respiratory Group to become experts in diagnosing and treating sleep and respiratory disorders for the tired people of Melbourne's south east. This month a new sleep unit at St John of God Berwick Hospital's Kangan Drive location opened to help patients tackle sleepiness, snoring, insomnia, nocturia, unexplained weight gain, poor sleep quality, general sleep concerns and most importantly, angry bed partners. A sleep expert at St John of God Berwick Hospital said that over 50 percent of Australia adults having some kind medical issue that impacts on their sleep. "Alarmingly, compared to the rest of the world, Australian adults are among the most likely to use prescription sleep drugs to aid sleep," they said. "But with an experienced team of sleep scientists led by Katia Perceros available, patients no longer have to simply dream of getting a good night's sleep."

With this new service, fully trained and accredited physicians will provide a comprehensive assessment and can promptly diagnose and establish an appropriate treatment pathway for patients. Furthermore, patients in Melbourne's south east no longer have to travel far to access this much needed local service. A sleep study is a comprehensive recording of a number of different variables including heart rate, brain wave activity, eye movements, muscle tone, respiratory effort, breathing, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, limb movement, snoring, body position as well as infrared video recording. While sleep studies can be funded by private health insurance, the service is also available to self-funded patients and can be accessed through a referral from a GP. Sleep and respiratory physicians currently consulting at St John of God Berwick Hospital are Dr Chris Daley, Dr Eric Kuo, Dr Camelia Borta and Dr Peter Solin. To find out more, the Sleep Medicine team can be contacted about this service at berwick.sleepstudies@sjog.org.au.

WHAT’S NEW? Anti wrinkle injections: The role of anti wrinkle injections is to relax wrinkle causing muscles, thereby softening and preventing the development of expression lines, creating a smooth and rejuvenated appearance. Wrinkles often appear around the forehead and eyes when we smile or frown and these areas can be treated along with crow’s feet, using a well studied safe medication that suits all skin types, administered only by our qualified medical professional. Skin Needling: Skin needling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that helps stimulate collagen and elastin to promote smoother, healthier skin through a natural healing process. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and is designed to support skin regeneration to help conditions including acne scars, surgical scars/scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores, blackheads and mild textural irregularities and is suitable for treatment during the summer months. Laser, radio frequency and intense pulse light: Laser, radio frequency and intense pulse light is used to treat conditions related to skin damage and premature aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, redness, acne scars, broken capillaries, pigmentation, melasma, age spots and general photo rejuvenation. Non ablative skin rejuvenation uses radio frequencies to improve the appearance of wrinkles, brown spots and minor scars by creating heat in the skin with out injuring the surface of the skin. The heat generated promotes collagen production which results in tighter, healthier, younger Iooking skin. Treatments are suitable to most skin types. The first consultation is complimentary (free) by appointment only with cosmetic Nurse, Marie Lebrasse@ Vitalase Skin and Laser Clinic at Dandenong Dermatology Centre, 1/110 David Street, Dandenong 3175 Tel: 9791 3455

SPORT

Renewed optimism for Rangers’ season By Hayley Wildes DANDENONG RANGERS WNBL SEASON PREVIEW It's that time of the year again - the WNBL is back and the Dandenong Rangers have put together a roster that should have their fans extremely excited for the season ahead. After a 2017/18 season that never really clicked into gear and finished with a disappointing 7-14 record, the Rangers have built a team that appears well-placed to bounce back this season. The Rangers tipped-off their season on the road against the reigning champions Townsville Fire yesterday (Sunday) and will return to Dandenong Stadium for the home opener against Sydney Uni on Friday, 19 October from 6.30pm. Dandenong has a roster boasting plenty of stars, including the likes of Tessa Lavey, Rachel Jarry, Bec Cole, Sara Blicavs, Kayla Pedersen (import) and the final two pieces added to the roster; Stephanie Reid and import Betnijah Laney. Tessa Lavey will enter the season off the back of a FIBA World Cup campaign in which she helped the Opals claim a silver medal in an outstanding result for Australian basketball. The speedy point guard will have a massive role to play with her sublime playmaking and defensive tenacity. Another exciting point guard for Rangers fans to keep an eye on is Stephanie Reid. The Victorian has spent the past four years dominating American Division 1 college basketball for the Buffalo Bulls. She leaves the Bulls as the all-time leader in assists and her new Dandenong teammates will revel in her ability to make the right play and deliver pin-point passes. The additions of Rachel Jarry and Bec Cole will be a huge boost for the Rangers. Jarry, a two-time Olympian and former Minnesota Lynx player in the WNBA, played her junior basketball with the Rangers and will bring leadership and tough play to the line-up.

Australian Opal Tessa Lavey will drive the Rangers forward this season. 173518 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Cole dominated SEABL in 2018 for the Melbourne Tigers, finishing second in the league for points per game (22.6) and third in assists (5), while also adding 4 rebounds. Her offensive firepower and do-it-all game will add another dimension to the Rangers. Sara Blicavs is an accomplished player and while she was on the roster last season, a ruptured ACL in November saw her miss the majority of the season. Blicavs will likely miss the start of the season, but will return at some stage in what will be a massive boost for the Rangers. When Blicavs is fully healthy, she can be one of the most dominant players in the league and a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court. Dandenong's two American imports; Kayla Pedersen and Betnijah Laney will both play key roles. Pedersen returns to the Rangers after averaging 11.1 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.5 as-

sists per game last season. Her ability to guard the best bigs in the competition is invaluable. Laney returns to the WNBL after stints with Perth in 2015/16 and Bendigo last season. Earlier this year, she played for the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA, averaging 2.7 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9 minutes of game time. She is a tremendous athlete and will bring aggression and size on both ends of the court. Returning players Carley Mijovic and Tayla Roberts will be looking to build on strong 2017/18 campaigns and both players can score in the paint and bring down plenty of rebounds. Coach Larissa Anderson possesses a squad that looks capable of challenging the upper echelon teams in the WNBL. Health will be crucial and with plenty of new pieces, integrating everyone into roles within the system may take some time, but if it all clicks, the Rangers will be a tough team to handle.

D-day is looming for Team 11 By Nick Creely With an announcement imminent on the ALeague expansion, Team 11 can't do much more to become one of two new teams scheduled to join the national competition in 2019/20, according to Team 11 project officer Matt Windley. Windley - who left his job at the Herald Sun in March this year to take up the full-time role with the south-east bid - said they can only sit and wait for the verdict, which is expected in late October to early November. "I went through a really stressful period, and not just with work but also in my personal life, having my second child, and with the deadline approaching, it was absolutely crazy," he said. "In the last few weeks, I've just had this sense of calm, in a strange way. "I feel like I probably should be getting more stressed, and it's not that I don't care. "I wanted to do everything possible to get this bid over the line, and personally, I feel like I've done that. I know councils and investors feel the same way." Windley said that a potential A-League side in the south-east - with a stadium in the heart of Greater Dandenong, an administration base and community facility at Casey Fields and ties with the Cardinia Shire - would do wonders for the growing region. "This bid has a real chance to unite a whole region in a footballing sense," he said. "It's just such an exciting opportunity, and because I'm local, you can draw a triangle from my house, Dandenong Stadium and the Casey Fields base." Windley said that if the result doesn t go their way in the coming weeks, his ambition would ensure he doesn t give up. "I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about what would happen if it didn t get up," he said. "I don't think anything's off the table - if we get the red light in the coming weeks or months, my passion to seeing this get off the ground doesn't just go away."

Greater Dandenong sporting superstars recognised By Nick Creely The Greater Dandenong council recognised some of the city's sporting elite at the annual awards night on Wednesday 10 October, with winners coming from all across Dandenong. Now in its fourth year, the awards are aimed at recognising the contribution of people within the Dandenong sporting community, including those who provide opportunities for others to participate in sport. Dandenong Thunder's superstar striker Brandon Barnes was crowned the Male Athlete of the Year, in a season that will again push his name up in lights for a lucrative A-League contact. Barnes - who also re-signed with the Thunder for next season - scored 22 goals this season in the top flight of Victorian soccer (the most in the competition), to completely dominate, and is building an enormous reputation that is only going to continue building. Among the other awards on the night, Dandenong Casey Titans' Jessica McCulloch took home the Female Athlete of the Year, which is a huge achievement for the Special Olympics program, while youngster Jennifer Audy from St Anthony's Primary School in Noble Park was awarded the Junior Athlete of the Year for her superb year in athletics. Greater Dandenong mayor Cr Youhorn Chea congratulated the winners in all 11 categories. He said the awards, held at Dandenong Basketball Stadium, recognised everyone from local athletes to volunteers, clubs and coaches. "Sport is a great equalizer in our community. No matter your age, gender or cultural 30 STAR JOURNAL

background sport is something everyone can participate in," he said. "I congratulate everyone recognised at last night's awards.

Ballal’s stunner seals it By Nick Creely

Susa Pradeep defends firmly for Buckley Ridges on Saturday. 186159 sublime century, finishing 116 not out as the Bucks crossed the total with five wickets left and in just 65 overs. Down at Alex Nelson Reserve, a spin masterclass by Springvale South saw the Bloods hold off a brave Mordialloc. Resuming at 0/66, the Bloodhounds were a long way away from

Picture: ROB CAREW

Springy’s 313, and at 2/97, urgently needed a strong partnership to keep the game alive. Brendan Morris (95) and Damith Mapa Ralage (50) were simply outstanding, piling on over 100 runs to get the Bloodhounds into a position for a potential win. But spinning trio Malinga Bandara (3/65), Jarryd Straker (2/25)

Panthers downed by the Dons in Round 2 By Nick Creely A middle order collapse provided the catalyst for Dandenong’s loss to a talented Essendon side at Shepley Oval on Saturday. In the Round 2 Victorian Premier Cricket contest, the Panthers were unable to keep up the momentum of the season opener the week before. The Bombers got off to a handy start with James Seymour (20) and Aaron Ayre (34), before quick James Wilcock (3/45) picked up two wickets in two balls, first snaring Seymour before castling the stumps of Aaron Shellie the very next ball. But the visitors steadied through the class of Ayre and Michael Hill (51), who compiled a vital 72-run stand before spinners Akshat Buch (2/49) and the unlikely wicket taker Tom Donnell (1/19) snaring the pair and once again putting them on the back foot. Young English recruit Oli Soames (53)

looked compact and classy at the crease, combining with all-rounder Nishal Perera (32) to provide a spark late, helping put together a respectable 8/217 off 50 overs. In his return to the bowling crease in the day’s biggest story, James Pattinson found some rhythm and will be much better for the run, finishing with 0/27 off eight overs. Wilcock was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets next to his name and has started the season in bright fashion, while rising quick Jakeb Thomas (1/28) bowled smartly throughout the innings and looks like he may have cemented his spot in the side. Early in the Panthers’ chase, it seemed like the champion opening pair in Tom Donnell (22) and Brett Forsyth (51) would help ease the home side to yet another win, after looking fluent in their 46 run opening partnership. The wicket of Donnell sparked a top-order collapse, with impressive spinner Liam Bowe (2/29) bamboozling Ed Newman to have him

stumped, and after Bowe trapped Lincoln Edwards in front, the Panthers had to work hard to wrestle back control at 3/61. Forsyth and Pattinson (32) solidified, once again lifting the Panthers into a strong position, but James Seymour (3/24) picked up the big wicket of the star opener, and then the wickets began to tumble. James Nanopoulos and James Pattinson both fell within moments of each other, and the damage was done, with the Panthers unable to claw its way back from 6/119. The Bombers’ relentless pressure eventually saw the Panthers rolled for just 158 in 46.2 overs, still 60 runs shy of victory. In the seconds, Dandenong fell 11 runs short of victory after being bowled out for 253 in pursuit of the Bombers’ 263. Josh Slater (63) and Peter Sweeney (57_ both made fifties for the Panthers. Dandenong played Northcote yesterday (Sunday) in Round 3, after the Journal went to print.

WHAT’S ON this week

and champion skipper Craig Slocombe (5/18) ensured the visitors would lose their last seven wickets for just 41 runs, in a wonderful pressure performance. HSD lost to Hallam Kalora Park in the final game, with Jordan Hammond snaring 6/25 as the Cobras crumbled for 73 in response to the Hawks’ 257 from day one.

It seemed like a routine win for Berwick was on the cards in the DDCA’s Turf 1 competition. Something stunning would’ve needed to happen for North Dandenong to recover from 4/68 to chase down the Bears’ 250 in their own backyard. Enter Akshay Ballal (110), the Maroon import with a point to prove. In an exquisite knock that not only resulted in a century on debut for the club and in DDCA Turf 1 cricket, he secured a win from the clouds for his side in an incredible, breathtaking knock that actually ended in controversy. When Muharjithan Thedchanamoorthy was dismissed, the scores were tied with the Maroons finishing on 250, but a recount, after the scorebooks didn’t add up, found that the visitors actually won, scoring 253. But it was the sublime effort of the Maroons’ new recruit that was the big talking point, flaying a highly rated Bears bowling side to all parts after steering them out of trouble. It’s a massive result in the opening round of a long season, and one that could be a catalyst for the revival of the Maroons. Buckley Ridges, meanwhile, made its run chase against St Mary’s look almost easy at times down at Park Oval. Chasing an imposing 284 for victory, champion opener Daniel ‘DJ’ Watson (82 off 62 balls) completely blitzed the Saints, belting six sixes and seven boundaries. DJ - the most destructive batsman in the DDCA - picked up where he left off in his brilliant 2017/18 season, putting on 122 runs for the opening wicket with reliable batsman Jayson Hobbs. Hobbs continued to bat and bat, using his class and elegant stroke play to keep the scoreboard ticking over , compiling crucial partnerships with Susa Pradeep (26) and Greg Todd (28), and eventually raised his bat for a
