Race attack hero

A young train commuter from Dandenong has been praised for her courage in standing up against a racist attack against a mother and toddler. Fahima Adan, 20, bravely stepped in as a woman allegedly shoved and abused the mum carrying her son during the city-bound train service near Westall railway station on 12 January. The attacker accused the Muslim victim of being a terrorist and not being Australian, Ms Adan said. "I just wanted no one to get hurt." While other passengers sat by and filmed the incident, the woman then turned on Ms Adan. She allegedly grabbed and scratched her arm and tore off Ms Adan's hijab. "I hate Islam," the woman screamed at Ms Adan.

Ms Adan's way on social media, as too have further Islamophobic insults. Despite describing herself as shy, she has gone outside her comfort zone and fronted various media to send a strong message. To stop the racist attacks. And back up good Samaritans in the same situation. "Everyone is Australian. Everyone is a citizen. No one should be treated like that and it should be taken seriously. "I could have been injured even worse. You never know in that situation ... When it gets to a certain point, people should do something." Greater Dandenong councillor Matthew Kirwan wants the council to recognise Ms Adan. Her actions had struck a cord nationwide, he said. They had even drawn surprising praise from right-wing critics on Cr Kirwan's Facebook page.

Ms Adan asserted that she was Australian; the woman retorted that Ms Adan was not. "When my scarf, my hijab was pulled off - it was the ultimate disturbing, disgusting thing to happen to anyone," a still shaken Ms Adan said. "I don't feel protected. Even with so many people on the train, I had to protect the lady. "This was something I've never wanted to experience." Except the day before, Ms Adan suffered an unprovoked attack at Melbourne Central station when a cigarette packet was hurled at her head by one of two males. "I'm still scared. I randomly break down. "I don't know how to feel to this day." A 39-year-old Clayton woman has since been charged with assault over the incident. Glowing praise and tributes have poured

"People see this is not a topic of debate," Cr Kirwan said. "They see this sort of behavior in Australia is unacceptable, and we should recognize Fahima for standing up against it. "The standard you walk past is the standard you accept - and she wasn't prepared to do that." It confirms a VicHealth survey that shows Greater Dandenong bucks the trend in its high rate of multicultural acceptance, he said. "We as a council have run various anti-racism campaigns and encouraged resident to do exactly what she has done." Mayor Roz Blades, while "totally appalled" by the attack, was proud of Ms Adan's intervention. "What a brave thing to do and at her age, it shows great strength of character."

IN BRIEF Man charged with endangering police chopper
Dob in a Dandy drug dealer
A man has been arrested and charged with allegedly pointing a laser at a police helicopter in Dandenong. The incident occurred about 11pm on Wednesday 16 January, police say. A 43-year-old Hampton Park man was arrested by Dandenong police. He was charged with assaulting police, prejudicing the safe operation of an aircraft, reckless conduct endangering life and reckless conduct endangering serious injury. He was bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on 22 January.
By Cam Lucadou-Wells People should have no qualms joining the latest 'Dob In A Dealer' campaign targeting the illicit drug trade. "It doesn't necessarily mean you're dobbing in family or a friend or going behind their back," Victoria Police Acting Inspector Graeme Stanley said at the launch at Dandenong. "You're actually supporting them. "It can actually help them seek assistance and get the necessary help to cut their habit and have a healthy lifestyle." For law enforcers, no snippet of public information is too small. It is anonymous - no calls are traced or identified - and can help fill in the bigger picture of a crime investigation. And in turn, it provides a vital stop to the supply and creation of illicit drugs like 'ice', MDMA, cocaine, heroin and cannabis by criminals and organised gangs. A crop-house or meth lab could be at your next-door neighbour's, Insp Stanley said. Tell-tale signs include windows blacked out, high electricity use, a characteristic 'clan lab' smell, short conversations in cars outside and people acting suspiciously at days and nights. Acting Inspector Stanley said the campaign could help halt an increase in drug offences and clandestine meth labs in the Dandenong area in the past 10 years. He said the local manufacturing leads to "ease of access" to illicit drugs in the area. "That's the area we're concentrating on trying to disrupt." Since its national launch in 2013, the Dob In a Dealer campaign has fuelled extra info on drug dealing to Crime Stoppers and Victoria Police. During the 2016 campaign, there was an average 143 per cent rise in public information reports in Victorian locations. Since a relaunch in City of Casey in November, 180 information reports have been lodged
Brazen carjack attempt A man has attempted to car jack a Mercedes Benz C250 in broad daylight in Dandenong CBD. The owner had got out of the parked car to enquire why the man was hovering at the vehicle's rear outside 30 Langhorne Street about 2.50pm on Friday 11 January. The offender then got into the driver's seat and asked the owner how he could shift the seat back. Declining to assist the man, the owner rang Triple-Zero. The man fled, taking personal documents from the Benz's glovebox. He was described as solid build, Caucasian appearance and wearing a white T-shirt. Police wish to speak to the man, as well as a male eyewitness wearing a blue shirt, glasses and dark pants. Any information to Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7487 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Greater Dandenong mayor Roz Blades said drug use had become unacceptable, creating social and family harms. She urged people who knew drug users and makers to get involved. "It's absolutely vital for this program to work." Crime Stoppers Victoria chief executive Erika Owens said criminal drug activity was
not only costing millions in healthcare and law enforcement. "It is tragically and unnecessarily costing human lives." The program is funded by the Federal Government, and partnered by Crime Stoppers, City of Greater Dandenong and Victoria Police. To report drug making and drug dealing, contact Crime Stoppers Australia on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au
Kids trapped in hot cars warning The South East is top of a dangerous hotlist for children and pets being locked in cars. Over the 2017-'18 summer period, there were 564 call-outs for children locked in a hot car in Victoria, according to the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority. It equates to about six a day. Among the most prolific suburbs were Pakenham (10), Berwick (9), Dandenong (8) and Cranbourne (7), as well as Frankston (14). ETSA is issuing the advice that if you leave the car, take the kids with you.
ETSA operations executive director Patrick Berry said there was no excuse for parents and carers. A car's inside temperature could be up to 30 degrees hotter than outside, he said. Kidsafe Victoria general manager Jason Chambers said the practise was dangerous even for a short time. "Most of the temperature rise inside a car occurs within the first five minutes and leaving the windows down has little effect on the temperature rise. "A child's body temperature rises three to
five times faster than an adult, which places children at greater risk of suffering from dehydration and life-threatening heatstroke." Mr Chambers advised parents to keep their keys on them at all times when packing and unpacking the car to reduce the risk of the keys getting locked in the car with a child inside. To report a child or pet locked in the car, call triple zero (000) and state the location clearly to the operator. If it's in a car park, provide specific details of landmarks, section names, numbers and the colour of the parking bay.
Two males in a small red vehicle have pulled over and tried to rob a driver near a building site in Springvale. The 43-year-old Dandenong victim was overtaken and cut off by the red car on St James Avenue about noon on Monday 14 January. Armed with a knife, the red car's driver approached the victim and demanded his wallet and cash. A second male, unarmed, also demanded money. The victim yelled, catching the attention of workers at a nearby construction site. The robbers escaped in their car, driving westwards along St James Avenue. They were described as European. Any information to Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7487 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Man bashed for his phone A 20-year-old man has been repeatedly bashed during an attempted street robbery at Emerald Drive, Springvale. The Springvale victim was on his phone during a walk when approached by two male offenders about 10pm on Saturday 12 January. They demanded the man hand over his phone and supply a passcode to unlock it. The victim was punched several times to the face, pushed to the ground and placed in a headlock during the attack. Under repeated demands, the victim tapped in two false passcodes and was again punched in the face. An unknown vehicle drove down Emerald Drive, which caused the robbers to pause. The victim managed to retrieve his phone but was left with bruising and swelling to his nose and cheek. The offenders, who then fled from the scene, were described as African appearance and aged in their twenties. One of them was wearing black pants, a hoodie and runners. Any information to Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7487 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Learn-to-cycle course - no fears! It's time again to get on your bikes. Wellsprings for Women has launched a repeat of its popular Good Cycles Program, which trains women to ride a bike, pull it apart and re-assemble it. At the end of the six-session course in Dandenong, the 11 riders get a free bike and helmet and access to the Wellsprings riders meets to practice their cycling.
There's a long waiting list of migrant and refugee women wanting to join up, says Wellsprings chief executive Dalal Smiley. "We could not accommodate all of them in the first round. "So we applied for a grant from (Greater Dandenong) Council and got it. "We have to keep searching for more fund-

Christmas Eve was particularly joyous for shopper Mohamad Anab. With his 20-year-old Corolla in its last days, the 38-year-old won a new $16,000 Kia Picanto hatch in a competition at Armada Dandenong Plaza. "The car couldn't come at a better time. "I never owned a new car so I decided I will keep the car for a few months to enjoy it. Then I'll sell it to get a bigger car for the family." On the day of the draw on 24 December, Mr Anab drove to the Plaza with "such glee on my face". "I was so excited just to be among the 14 finalists. "It's probably the best odds I've been in. "Even the speaker was surprised to how excited I was and said: 'You know you haven't won the car, there are 13 more contestants.'" After several pass-the-parcel competitions, Mr Anab received key 12. He took a deep breath before he tried the key that unlocked the Kia's door. "I jumped out of joy and was dancing and screaming and singing. I will never forget that day." A grateful Mr Anab thanked Dandenong Kia and Armada Dandenong Plaza for the "life changing" prize.

Planks prop up neighbours' fences at the Roberts Street site. 189392
Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS
Legal action on pit ‘mess’ A neighbouring backyard garden and fence has already subsided into the excavation what may be an unpleasant surprise for the owners reportedly away on holiday. Other neighbours have tried to prop up their fences with planks. In the meantime, Greater Dandenong Council says it has taken legal action against the developer. The council declined to give any detail on what action it sought. The city's planning, design and amenity director Jody Bosman said "(the) action is ongoing and further matters will be put to the court".
By Cam Lucadou-Wells Residents say their backyards and fences are on the brink of dangerous collapse due to a deep water-logged pit at a shambolic building site in Noble Park. Several months ago, the house at 1 Roberts Street was demolished, leaving an unsightly mess and a pit that extends within centimetres of three adjoining fencelines. As the pit has filled with water, the ground beneath the boundary fences has perilously eroded.
Neighbouring owner Bill Madden said if the council hadn't stepped in, "all of our fences would collapse". "We are all worried about it. The soil (in the pit) was washing away with high rains - you could see under our fence." He said the council "shut down" works on the site. He hopes the council successfully seeks to back-fill the pit, perhaps using some of the unsightly mound of earth, piles of planks, broken pavers and other building materials on site. The developer is believed to be in the pro-
cess of liquidation for the past two years. Its registered address leads to an apparently abandoned property in Endeavour Hills. The Roberts Street site was been long inactive since the developer was awarded a permit by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in 2011 to build three-storey apartments with basement parking including car stackers on the site. The application was opposed by Greater Dandenong Council at the time. The permit was extended in 2015.

Dandenong's Advancement
14 January 1969 A School with no worries
To anyone visiting Dandenong - even with its proportions and importance, its advancements and advantages - on Monday last, it would appear that it had retrograded to its primeval state. In the early part of the day owing to the tropical nature of the temperature, hardly any water was obtainable, while by eventide the taps were dry. Troubles never seem to come singly, for as the night drew on, those , who had electric light installed were subject to another inconvenience, for there was no light as something had evidently gone wrong at the power house and a portion of the town's circuit had been cut off.
History will be made in this district with the opening of the new Doveton North Technical School on February 5, for there will be few if ANY problems. Compared with other local schools which suffer from cramped conditions, overcrowded classrooms and inadequate facilities. In their first year of technical education, pupils will enjoy the luxury of adequate staff and small classes and the comfort of classrooms designed and sited in a new concept. Classrooms will be furnished with a rural look in natural timber and will be linked by covered ways. The site is on 15 acres in Power Rd. Five teachers will comprise the initial staff. Subjects will comprise a complete first year of general technical education with the theme of Citizenship, Development and Knowledge which is the school's motto.
Greater Dandenong council has struck out at plans to build an international standard baseball facility in Keysborough. The council has put the brakes on Aces Field, a $1.5 million stadium, until the release of a State Government review on the future of Victorian baseball. The comes amid rumours the Australian Baseball League (ABL) competition has hit tough financial times. Noble Park councillor Phillip Reed won a motion to further delay the decision at a special council meeting last Thursday. The motion also requests for a quick response from the Minister for Sport and Regional Development, Mr Reynolds, in the hope that the stadium does not miss its chance to become an Olympic venue. Aces club manager Mr Steven White said he was extremely disappointed at the decision.
Springvale Botanical Cemetery has been named the best in the world for 2013. The 422 acre Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (SMCT) site was the first cemetery outside the USA to win the American Cemetery Excellence Award. Independent trade publication American Cemetery Magazine awarded the honour for Springvale's community engagement, innovation, performance, team spirit and ground maintenance. Judges said the site has come a long way from a once - isolated and impoverished rural cemetery, served by a poorly-patronised mortuary train.

Boomerang Theatre treat 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. When I started my apprenticeship in the plumbing trade I would be working in the first tank shop which was in the second Godfrey shop in Foster Street. We had to build the larger tanks out in the back paddock because they would not fit through the double doors in the brick wall below the residence. Godfreys also had another paddock in Foster Street alongside the two, two-storey shops and residences in which we stored the finished water tanks. From there they were taken to trucks at the railway siding to be transported all over the
JACK LOOKS
BACK JACK JOHNSON state or we plumbers put them on our trucks and took them to farms and houses and installed them. Around 9.30am, as the young apprentice I would be regularly sent by the tank makers and plumbers over to the bakery shop to buy cakes and buns for morning smoko when the billy had boiled. One of our favourite buildings in Thomas Street was the Boomerang Picture Theatre. It was part of the Boomerang Building
which ran from Thomas through to Lonsdale Street. On the Lonsdale Street side was an arcade of shops. Moran and Cato's grocery store was next door on the right and beside them on the Walker Street corner was the Royal Hotel. The Boomerang Theatre opened onto the Thomas Street frontage and was owned by Mr Leber. The two frontages were connected by a laneway that ran beside the building to the right side of the theatre. It was into this laneway that the side exit doors of the theatre opened. One of these doors was between the stage and the front stalls. Some of the no-hoper big kids would sit there and open the exit doors to let in a bunch of their mates, but they were usually caught
and got their arses kicked by Mr Leber or his usher. The exit doors on the other side of the theatre opened onto a bitumen footpath alongside a paddock on the corner of Thomas and Walker streets. The dress-circle exit door opened out onto a landing and you came down a timber stairway to the bitumen footpath. The paddock also adjoined the back yard of the two-storey Royal Hotel, the third and last to exist in Dandenong. The first Royal Hotel had been a couple of doors down from the Walker Street corner. It was built in the early 1850s by AW Bowman. The second Royal Hotel was on the northwest corner of Walker and Lonsdale streets opposite the town hall and was a two-storey building.

Getting a start in business By Cam Lucadou-Wells With a little hand, Barbara Bradlington's longheld dream for her own photography business and reality is rapidly becoming reality. The Eumemmerring entrepreneur is among the initial uptake of a Good Shepherd Microfinance program LaunchMe to help low-income earners start their own business. It has helped get Ms Bradlington's "business brain into gear" - such as marketing herself, upgrading her training, making a business plan and setting up a website. She had felt daunted about pursuing her business dream ever since graduating in media arts and production 20 years ago. "I will be working more for myself and less for other people," she said. "It's teaching me everything about running a business." She gets regularly mentored in how to build her enterprise, specialising in photos at corporate gigs, events and functions. Good Shepherd also provided her a lowinterest loan for equipment and to convert her brother's caravan into a mobile studio for "old-style" photos. Launched in October, the three-year pilot program will assist 240 people in Dandenong, Doveton and the Latrobe Valley with business training, coaching and microfinance. It had already been operating successfully in South Australia for 12 months. The State Government has invested $2.6 million from its Community Revitalisation Program. Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said aspiring entrepreneurs would get the support they need to "follow their dreams" and create local jobs. "So many people in Dandenong have great business ideas but aren't sure how to get them off the ground. "This pilot will help give them everything they need to turn that idea into a thriving business."

LEAVE EARLY The reasons are black and white
There’s no questioning the facts. Bushfires can start quickly and threaten lives within minutes. When it comes to fire, what you need to do is black and white. Check Fire Danger Ratings in your district daily, and monitor conditions. Most bushfire deaths happen close to home, so on high-risk fire days, leaving early, before a fire starts, is always the safest option.

Rich tribute to historic lane By Cam Lucadou-Wells Artist Brett Ashby has brightened a grey Dandenong laneway as part of the Transformed temporary public art program. Boyd Lane’s bare walls were brought to life with deftly-painted keywords and coloured blocks on its walls, doorways and pavement. It enlivens a thoroughfare for more than 1000 pedestrians a day between Palm Plaza and Lonsdale Street. “There’s a lot of development, a lot of growth and a lot of multiculturalism - it’s something I’m interested in,” Ashby says. He took inspiration from the area’s rich commercial history, including the Boyd family who owned Gippsland Hardware Company next to the lane. The mural includes the ‘Golden Mile’ slogan, harking back to Lonsdale Street’s boom days. Its technicolour palette also reflects Ashby’s well-received public artwork Cube Lane - which decorates a disused substation on Mason Street. The challenge was to enrich a 60-metre laneway that had been blighted by graffiti and rubbish. Ashby had a limited budget to celebrate the surrounding olden architecture. So he split his mural up into eight separate elements that stretch the alley’s length. Ashby works and lives in Melbourne and London. His previous works include Autumn Place, Doveton, Casey Fields rugby pavilion in Cranbourne East and Mornington. As well as an international art career, he also played defender for Dandenong Thunder Soccer Club firsts. The Transformed program aims to add colour and vibrancy to Greater Dandenong’s public spaces, and make them more welcoming.

The Smashed Project has visited Greater Dandenong schools as part of a national tour.
Dramas of ‘getting smashed’ By Cam Lucadou-Wells The Smashed Project is proof that learning can be entertaining - even on the serious issue of underage drinking. Theatre-in-education group Gibber Australia visited Hampton Park and Lyndhurst secondary colleges late last year as part of a national tour that’s reached 140 schools and 30,000 Year 8 and 9 students. Students don’t want to be lectured on “this stuff”, says Gibber Australia chief executive Tim Watt. “It talks in a language they understand, and in a way that entertains and engages them.” The show aims for relevance. It portrays “pretty ordinary” teen characters in a slice of life, tackling the pressures to “fit in” and to “look cool”. The play ends with an accident that has
long-term consequences. The students then take part in interactive workshops, examining the choices made in the play’s “sliding doors” moments. Effectively, they’re advising each other on the dangers and the consequences, Mr Watt said. Months down the track, sometimes the actors get a hint of the impact they have. Such as a student in the audience who stops her binge drinking and summons the courage to seek help. In a post-audience survey, 85 per cent said they were unlikely to drink alcohol underage. But overall, the stats aren’t as bad as people think. According to official surveys, less underage Australians were drinking or taking part in the binge culture of generations gone by, Mr Watt said.

FOCUS ON … MEDICALLY SPEAKING Hippy new year!
12408475-RA05-19
Orthopaedic care is expanding in Berwick with St John of God Berwick Hospital set to open a brand new unit specialising in treating injuries and diseases of the body's musculoskeletal system.
Hippy 2019 It will be a hippy new year for orthopaedic patients in Melbourne’s South-East. Orthopaedic care is expanding in Berwick with St John of God Berwick Hospital set to open a brand new unit specialising in treating injuries and diseases of the body’s musculoskeletal system. A first for the hospital, the new orthopaedic unit will open in February and is currently recruiting compassionate caregivers to join its growing team. The fourth-floor ward has been left empty since the opening of the new hospital in January 2018 to accommodate future growth. It was not anticipated to be needed for the first few years of operation; however, local demand has seen it necessary to offer further orthopaedic services to the residents of Melbourne’s southeast.
The ward has the capacity for 28 beds and will primarily focus on orthopaedic and neurosurgical patients. The new unit sees the beginning of an emphasis on orthopaedic services. The hospital’s MAKO robot, currently used for partial knee replacements, will be utilised for full knee replacements in 2019. “It is reassuring for local patients to know that not only do they have access to this technology so close to home, but they can access rehabilitation under the same roof,” a St John of God spokesperson said. “The hospital celebrates the launch of complete orthopaedic care and rehabilitation offering convenience for both patients and their families. Hip, hip, hooray!” To find an orthopaedic surgeon, visit www. sjog.org.au/find-a-doctor.

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.
Doveton Medical Centre
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 201808156702_1-DJ35-18

STAR JOURNAL 21
SPORT
Buckley’s future clouded By Nick Creely Dandenong District powerhouse Buckley Ridges faces an uncertain future and increased pressure from council to relocate in the coming years after safety concerns were raised due to the overlapping of its home base, Park Oval and another ground. It is understood that council initially advised the club at a meeting last Thursday morning that they would be required to play at nearby Greaves Reserve 4 for a select number of matches, to alleviate concerns that someone would be hit by a cricket ball playing on the overlapping oval, according to a risk assessment report. When given the chance to defend the club, De Silva highlighted several factors, such as the fact that the two clubs have played side by side for three decades, citing issues with other grounds in the Metro region, the extremely strong junior program that has been developed, as well as a lease agreement for the year and their successful refugee program as rea-
Buckley Ridges will remain in its iconic home until at least the end of the season. 189071 Picture: CATHERINE SMITH sons why they should not be booted out. The council had a follow up meeting that afternoon, and advised the club shortly after that they would try and work together to mitigate the risks so it won't disrupt the current season. On Friday morning, the council contacted the club to advise that they will remain at their iconic home, for at least this season, however.
De Silva told the Journal that the club was disappointed with the entire process, but confirmed that cricket wouldn't be impacted this season, which is a slight sigh of relief. "Everything will go ahead as per normal, and they will look at everything and reconsider their stance and any precautions to be taken," he said. "Cricket's been played on those ovals for almost 40 years, and nothing's happened, and it is strange timing to try and move us midseason." De Silva said the club will make a strong move to claim Wilson Oval, which was used by the club prior to Dandenong's thirds and fourths, but admitted the future of the powerhouse is in the air, with the club seeing its long-term future being in the City of Casey. "We'll keep fighting as we go along - the future is really uncertain," he said. "We've approached Casey council, and they won't put on turf grounds for 10 years - but we see our future in the Casey area." De Silva also said that finding a solution
will be a long process, with potential moves to Greaves Reserve or a merger with a fellow DDCA club all possibilities. Director of Community Services for the City of Greater Dandenong, Martin Fidler, said that the council simply complied with Cricket Australia guidelines. "To ensure compliance with the Cricket Australia Community Infrastructure Guidelines, council undertook an audit of all cricket grounds in the municipality," he said. "As a result of the audits council met with three local cricket clubs to discuss the outcomes of the audit and to discuss options for allowing the continuity of play for the existing season. "Council is committed to working with the clubs and has not directed or requested that the clubs move or reschedule games. Options have been discussed with the clubs to ensure the games for the remainder of the current season can continue at existing grounds and council and the clubs are meeting to discuss longer term solutions for the next season."
Thundering towards a big NPL season By Hayley Wildes The Dandenong Thunder's NPL Vic 2018 season certainly didn't go to plan. In 2019, with club legend Veton Korcari calling the shots after taking over head coaching responsibilities midway through last season, there's a newfound edge and desire within the Thunder. Thunder superstar and 2018 NPL Vic Golden Boot winner, Brandon Barnes knows that the squad can't afford another slow start in 2019. "We definitely need to get off to a better
start in 2019 - obviously last year we had a very tough start and we didn't win for the first seven or so games," he said. "We just need to make sure that we start off well, so that we're in the mix early and just go from there. "Hopefully we can at least stay inside that top six which is our aim this year." Barnes, who didn't just win the Golden Boot last season, he absolutely blew away the rest of the competition, finishing with 22 goals

for the year, six ahead of runner-up Matthew Thurtell from Bentleigh Greens. After such a great season for Barnes, his focus to improve individually has been on one facet of his game in particular. "My main focus this year has been fitness," he said. "I believe in my ability to always score goals, so just mainly my fitness levels and trying to improve that to make sure I'm prepared for a season against great teams." Being prepared for a season against great teams has been driven by Korcari and Barnes believes everyone is on board and trusting the processes put in place. "Veton is a club legend, everyone has taken to him really well and he's got the respect of everyone around the club," he said. "Even with new assistant coach, John Floros - it's pretty well known in the game of what he brings to the changeroom and on the pitch. "All of us are adjusting to it really well and we just can't wait to get started." The Thunder have had a couple of preseason hit-outs and Barnes highlighted a 3-1 win against Heidelberg at home as a real positive. "We played really well, and it was a great step to see where we are and where we want to be." He said. Improving on last season is the aim for the Thunder and they know getting contributions from every player is key to that. "The main focus really has just been making sure that the whole squad is leading - we don't like to single out any responsibilities," he said. "Just making sure that the 11 on the pitch are leading and we've got the remainder of the
squad that can come on and make an impact from the sidelines." That improvement will also come from some massive additions to the Thunder. The likes of Peter Skapetis, a 23-year-old Central Coast Mariner with international experience, Kieran Dover, a 21-year-old making his return to George Andrews Reserve after spending time with the Melbourne Victory and Christian Cavallo, a 22-year-old who has spent time with Melbourne City. Their resumes speak for themselves and Barnes may have summed up the Dandenong's recruiting best; "The Thunder are not really messing around this year with signings and hopefully we can get the job done." With a tough, but successful, preseason almost complete, Barnes is ready to get into the real stuff and has his sights set on that round 1 fixture against Hume City. "I'm pretty fed up with preseason," he said. "I just want to get started and get down to business - I can't wait for the 16th of February."
