He was among 12 educators announced as Commonwealth Bank Teaching Award recipients at a ceremony in Sydney on Friday 23 March. “This represents the work the college has done,” Mr McMahon told the Journal. “I’m just the figurehead of the college.” The Prep to Year 9 school opened in 2012 thanks to the Colman Foundation. “To achieve in six years what they’ve done here is enormous,” he said.

Mr McMahon said Julius Colman came to Australia from Poland with his parents as a refugee in 1948. He became a lawyer and set up a trust. After retiring he visited the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas and saw the value of parents working with kids. “He’d been giving scholarships and seeing nothing for them,” Mr McMahon said. Mr Colman went to then-Premier John Brumby, asked how he could help, and established Doveton College. “It’s a project based around a school as the centre,” Mr McMahon said. “We have one of the highest value-adding early learning centres in Australia. “We have 75 little ones on-site every day, about 110 over the week. “They get the best of early learning starts.” He said 13 parents recently graduated from a certificate three course and 12 had already found employment. There are paediatricians on-site, social workers, breakfast and after-school programs. “And we have 200 mums learning,” he said. “This whole model is a model of education based on a community, not based on a school. “When we enrol the family at the college, we enrol the whole family. “The government has now signed up with Julius for another six sites.” Mr McMahon took on the principal role in 2015 following eight a half years as principal at Parkdale Secondary College in Mordialloc. At that time, only seven per cent of students did any activity after school. That’s climbed to 80 per cent. The school runs sport, music, dance, art and craft and more on four nights a week.

Helping hands By Brendan Rees
Richard, left, and job seeker Damien collect plastic bottle tops which will be used to make prosthetic hands. 190162

A Dandenong employment service is using plastic waste to make prosthetic hands for amputees. Envision, a not-for-profit charity that provides support to long-term and disadvantaged job-seekers, is delivering the Envision hands project which turns recycled plastic bottle tops into prosthetic hands for children in developing countries. To give them a helping hand, the Coca-Cola Foundation announced Envision would share $1.5 million in funding from Coca-Cola to support its Envision Hands upcycling project. "We're thrilled to be able to give back to the local communities we serve through the global Coca-Cola Foundation," Coca-Cola spokeswoman Sarah Prestwood said. Using 3D printers to create the prosthetic hands for those in need, Envision will train and support disadvantaged job seekers to help make the devices on-site.The funding will enable the collection of bottle tops, basic recycling processes and the design, creation and distribution of the prosthetic hands. Director of Envision Employment Services Sean Teer said his team decided to take action "when we realised we might be able to turn those tops into something really beneficial." "We saw that plastic bottle tops were not being recycled and going into landfill," he said. "We now are collecting tops from around Melbourne and Victoria and sites like our Dandenong site will be involved in turning those tops into hands/arms and also many other useful plastic recycled items. "This will also involve training long term unemployed in the latest 3D technology, he said, adding the project aimed to make 100 prosthetic hands for children. "Envision is putting together a major fundraising campaign to now put all the elements of the project together including programs at schools and in the communities and donations will be sought to support this great environmental and humanitarian project," Mr Teer said

Nursery faces road threat By Brendan Rees The owner of a family-run nursery in Hampton Park fears the possibility of closing his doors if a major roads authority does not play fair. The State Government's Hallam Road Upgrade - which will add an extra lane in each direction between Ormond Road and South Gippsland Highway - will involve the compulsory acquisition of land at the front of Diacos' Family Discount and Garden Rock Supplies. Anthony Diaco, who manages the business with his father Vince, spoke to Star News last year with his concern about a right-hand turn
into his business being removed as part of the roadworks. He said his business, which depended on 400-600 deliveries a week, would be inconvenienced by having to conduct de-tours. Mr Diaco says he's tried "to come up with a scenario" with Major Road Projects Authority (MRPA) which have only been "knocked on the head straight away." "There's no dialogue anymore," he added. Adding to his frustration is the speed limit on Hallam Road will be increased from 60km/h to 80km/h. "It's going to make this road very unsafe,"
Mr Diaco said. "We're doing a lot of deliveries; we want to make it safe." According to MRPA, improving safety was a key priority for the project as 22 crashes on Hallam Road were recorded since 2012. "The newly upgraded road environment along with high usage by heavy vehicles and limited entry and exit points along this route warrant a revised speed limit," an MRPA statement said. Lights will also be installed at the access to the SUEZ Resource Recovery Centre which will include a dedicated turning lane to separate trucks from cars on Hallam Road.
"There's no way I would've invested this money, I would've relocated because access it's very important for this business," Mr Diaco said. Mr Diaco added he does not want compensation: "It takes so long to get it, it's a process and then you've got to spend more money to get it. It's not that straight forward." MRPA program director Brendan Pauwels said the project would improve safety for the "thousands of people that travel along Hallam Road or the South Gippsland Highway every day."
Carpenter convicted for illegal building work
Armed bandit gets cuffed By Rowan Forster A gun-toting bandit's Dandenong crime spree has been thwarted by police. The 22-year-old man raided two stores in Dandenong over 24 hours, threatening attendants and stealing cash. In his first alleged robbery on Wednesday night, the offender - armed with a gun - held up a fast food outlet on the Princes Highway. He fled with a small amount of cash.
The same man, instead brandishing a knife, attended a service station on Cheltenham Road on Thursday. He threatened a staff member and again stole a small quantity of cash. Police were called and located the 22-yearold a short time later, making an arrest. The Dandenong man is currently in custody and is expected to be charged with two counts of armed robbery.

Police hit the streets By Brendan Rees Springvale Police have begun a high visibility operation to deter thugs from street related offences. Operation Footprint will target anti social behaviour and provide improved public perception and reassurance for the Springvale and Noble Park area. Police will conduct foot patrols of Springvale
Road shopping district; Douglas Street shops Noble Park, and Parkmore Shopping Centre. Springvale Police Acting Sergeant Russell Bratton said officers would also be visible around other community locations with related tasking such as skate parks, Springers Leisure Centre, and railway stations. "On Monday 11 February, I will be heading out on foot with a crew and we will be using Eyewatch media to broadcast the operation," he said.

a building contract valued at more than $5000 without being a registered builder. He also said he didn’t know a permit was necessary for the laundry work. He was scheduled to appear in the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 17 January 2019, but did not attend or appoint legal representation. The matter proceeded in Mr Soun’s absence. The Court convicted Mr Soun and fined him a total of $5000 plus costs. The VBA’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, John Thompson, said anyone carrying out building work needs to know their legal obligations regarding building contracts and permits. “The regulations for carrying out building work are clearly stated in the Building Act and Domestic Building Contracts Act,” Mr Thompson said. “These laws are designed to protect property owners and maintain proper standards in the building industry. “This case is a good reminder that home owners should always check whether their builder is registered before entering into a contract.” Home owners can visit vba.vic.gov.au/find to check the registration of their builder. The threshold for major domestic building projects was raised from $5000 to $10,000 in August 2017.

A carpenter has been convicted and fined $5000 by the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court for seven breaches of the Building Act and Domestic Building Contracts Act. Chameoeun Soun, of Hammerhead Carpentry and Design, was hired by a property owner in October 2015 to carry out $7000 worth of renovation work in Cranbourne. At the time, projects valued at more than $5000 required the builder and owner to enter into a major domestic building contract, and could only be entered by a registered builder. Mr Soun has never been registered with the Victorian Building Authority. Mr Soun failed to provide the property owner with a formal contract and received a deposit greater than 10 per cent of the contract price before commencing work, breaching the Domestic Building Contracts Act. In November 2015, the property owner hired Mr Soun to build a laundry, which Mr Soun worked on without obtaining the required building permit. The owner also hired Mr Soun to build a carport valued at $6000, and again did not enter a formal contract for this additional work. In February 2016, Mr Soun stopped working on the property, and left the work unfinished. When interviewed by the VBA, Mr Soun said he was unaware he could not enter into

Shadow Minister for Health and Medicare Catherine King visits Dandenong Hospital to announce a promise to improve treatment facilities. Picture: CONTRIBUTED
Labor promises hospital upgrade The Federal Opposition has promised to improve health care for the people of Melbourne's south by investing in urgent upgrades to Dandenong Hospital. Labor's $14.5 million redevelopment of the hospital's outdated outpatient and day treatment facilities will deliver better quality maternity, oncology, trauma, psychiatric and other specialist services for the people of this community. Shadow Minister for Health and Medicare Catherine King visited Dandenong Hospital on Monday 4 February to make the announcement. This commitment is part of Labor's Fair Go Action Plan to protect Medicare and fix our hospitals. "It will mean Dandenong Hospital will be able to meet the needs of the area's diverse and
rapidly growing population," Ms King said. "That means more local residents will receive better and more timely care closer to home - rather than joining long waiting lists or travelling long distances. "The redevelopment will also will also allow for an extra 20,000 outpatient appointments a year; deliver an expanded range of specialist service types; and improve infection control," she added. The refurbishment will also create new local jobs. "Dandenong is one of Australia's most culturally diverse communities, with extensive Aboriginal, refugee and migrant communities relying heavily on Dandenong Hospital for their complex health care needs," Ms King said. Ms King said this investment would also
help ensure a culturally appropriate environment for patients and their loved ones. "Labor believes Australians should get the best quality health care whenever they need it - no matter if you live in a rich suburb or a disadvantaged one; a safe seat or a marginal one. "The Liberals on the other hand just cut and cut and cut from health. As Treasurer, Scott Morrison cut from health and hospitals in every Budget he authored," she said. "His government has cut $23.47 million from the Monash Local Health Network under the current 2017 to 2020 funding agreement. "That's equivalent to 57,000 outpatient visits or 35,000 emergency department visits." Labor promises to reverse the Liberal cuts with their $2.8 billion Better Hospitals Fund, which we will use to fund projects like this one.
Drug drivers caught due to rego lapse Just after 7pm on Friday February 1, members from Casey Highway Patrol intercepted a Ford Falcon ute on Hallam South in Hallam after the registration was flagging as expired. Police spoke to the 48 year old driver from Melton South who was requested to under an oral fluid test which returned a positive result. He will receive a summons to attend court
in relation to using an unregistered motor vehicle and drug driving. Less than an hour later the same police unit intercepted a Mitsubishi Lancer on Princes Highway, Eumemmerring. The 46 year old driver from Dandenong North was the holder of a learner’s permit that had previously been cancelled and disquali-
fied for drink driving. The driver returned a negative breath test on this occasion but his oral fluid test returned a positive result. He will also be summonsed to attend court in relation to charges of driving while unlicensed and drug driving.

Volunteer is honoured Local disability support agency The Bridge has lots to celebrate. One of its valued volunteers, Trevor Williams, was a finalist in the Casey Council Australia Day Awards Senior Citizen category. Mr Williams was nominated for his regular volunteer work at The Bridge, on Webb Street in Narre Warren, for the past five years. The Bridge is well known and respected throughout Dandenong and Casey as a disability support agency of choice for many local individuals and families. Mr Williams received his certificate from Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon. "Trevor had a great day, and so did I. We took lots of photos. Trev was pretty chuffed," The Bridge service coordinator Catherine
Dunstan said. Mr Williams is multi-skilled, warmly supporting adult participants with disabilities to achieve their goals, and also assisting Santa at The Bridge's recent celebration. The Bridge welcomes new volunteers as activity assistants at its services in Dandenong, Noble Park, Narre Warren, Berwick and Cranbourne. Participant numbers are growing with the roll-out of the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) in local suburbs. The Bridge also welcomes work experience and employment opportunities for their keen participants. To find out more you can phone The Bridge on 8710 8555 or go to www.thebridgeinc.org.au.

13 February 1919 Anything she wants Mother, nurse, and baby were taking air in the park. Mother was absorbed in an illustrated paper and when baby began to cry peevishly, she said, without looking up “Give it to her nurse.” The crying went on, and mother said imperatively “Oh, give her what she wants, I can’t stand the noise.” Suddenly the cries rose into a howl. Mother sat up and glared at the nurse. “Why don’t you do as I tell you!” she inquired angrily. “Give it to her at once” “She got it, madam” said the nurse. It’s a wasp.
local branch of the Victoria Teachers Union claims classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are inadequately trained and facilities are poor. In a letter to the Journal the branch said children were taught in buildings “fit only to be bulldozed” a third of teachers in High Schools are inadequately trained. This attack follows strike threats by the Technical Teachers Association of Victoria. President of the Branch Mr M G Walker told the Journal “when teachers are confronted with large classes and new CURRICUIUMS it is very difficult for them to organise their classes and some children are certain to fall behind. Neither the brighter children nor average students receive enough attention.”

8 February 1999 HOSTEL CLASH An application to use the site to build a drug
withdrawal and rehabilitation centre on a former migrant hostel site in Westall Road is currently under review. Mr Kirsh said the disagreement had forced his hand. “We are currently working on the site and found about 10 kids squatting there who were on drugs,” Mr Kirsh said. “We took compassion on them and let them stay in one of the buildings which they have helped to work on. “We signed them up on a methadone program and were taking care of them. But then a member of the council’s town planning unit came down and threatened to take legal action. Greater Dandenong chief executive officer Mr Warwick Heine confirmed that the site had been used inappropriately. “When the property was inspected yesterday, it was found that the applicant had been housing young people without having been granted a permit,” Mr Heine said. “The applicant was advised that such uses of the facility are inappropriate and un-
less that changed he would be issued with a contravention notice.

Battered by the storm A big clean-up was undertaken after wild storms lashed across Greater Dandenong, bringing down trees and cutting off power to homes on Wednesday evening 30 January. After a sweltering hot day, a severe thunderstorm described as a "mini-tornado" sparked dozens of calls for help with the Dandenong SES responding to 33 jobs from 5pm. This included veranda roofs being blown off in Keysborough, and a tree falling across a nature strip and landing on a parked truck in Noble Park, which also impacted a power line. SES also had to tarp damaged roof tiles, and attended a job whereby a pergola roof had flown off and landed in the front yard of a home in Kilburn Court, Keysborough. No one was injured. A trees also fell on a shed in Keysborough, while roof tiles were damaged with many homes. Narre Warren SES Unit was kept busy, attending to more than 160 calls for assistance in the City of Casey. From 5.30pm onwards, SES crews assisted residents with trees on cars, trees on houses and garages and trees on roads. Badly bearing the brunt of the storm was
Devon Meadows, Lynbrook, Cranbourne, Hampton Park, Tooradin, Clyde and Narre Warren South. About 69 SES jobs were for damage or blockage to houses and buildings, and about 97 jobs for trees down on roads and carriageways. Multiple SES units from Malvern, Monash, Whitehorse, Maroondah and Glen Eira also assisted with the clean-up. "It was heartening to see our emergency services brothers in the CFA come to quickly and eagerly," Narre Warren SES Unit controller Damian Burns said. "It's about working as one to keep the City of Casey safe. "Wednesday night was particularly heavy because of the number of trees that had to be cleared," he said. Devon Meadows CFA brigade captain Andrew Swain said power lines down were brought in Muddy Gates Lane in Tooradin with power cut for eight hours. "I haven't seen rain and wind like that 16 years, it was just like a mini-tornado," he said. The Bureau of Meteorology said wind gusts ranged between 90km/h to 100 km/h.

Waitangi Day celebration By Jessica Anstice More than 26,600 visitors braved the heat on Sunday 27 January to celebrate Waitangi Day at the Dandenong Market. Visitors enjoyed traditional New Zealand and Pacific Island street food, live performances and ta moko face painting. Main attractions included New Zealandinspired street food trucks and market stalls selling New Zealand and Islander food, clothing and Maori carvings. Dishes included the hugely popular traditional hangi sold by NZ Street Food. Flavour favourites Perky Nana, Hokey Pokey and Pineapple Lump Kiwi Shakes kept everyone hydrated. Now in its fourth year, visitors enjoyed traditional haka performances, mau r?kau (martial arts) demonstrations and music by NZ band, Soul Purpose. Another festival highlight was a performance by Australian Idol finalist Lavina Williams and her sisters Emily and Raze. Waitangi Day commemorates a significant day in the history of New Zealand. It is named after Waitangi, where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed on February 6, 1840. The Treaty of Waitangi made New Zealand a part of the British Empire, guaranteed Maori rights to their land and gave Maoris the rights of British subjects.
Waitangi Day is all about New Zealand traditions.

Inspiration of refugee lives revealed in new book
Andrew from Wallara received the $2500 cheque from CMV Group Staff Foundation leader Callan Wallace on Friday 1 February. 189816_01
Support for the senses CMV Groups Staff Foundation donated $2500 to Wallara on Friday 1 February, which will fund the upgrade of their High Support Sensory Garden at their Learning Campus in Dandenong. At CMV, staff have the opportunity to donate a portion of their salary towards the CMV Group Staff Foundation and these contributions are matched dollar-for-dollar by the CMV Group Foundation. These funds are then distributed to either staff who require assistance or to a broad range of registered charities. CMV Staff Foundation invited Wallara to collect the cheque at Hallam Bus and Trucks in Dandenong South.
"Clients were given a tour of the site and got to check out the trucks," Wallara's Kay Noy said. The work in the garden will be undertaken by Hallam College's senior students. "Our high support clients are some of the most vulnerable people in our community, with varied sensory needs and the funding gives us the opportunity to build a variety of sensory activity stations to benefit them," Ms Noy said. "The garden will feature a cause and effect water station for people who love to watch, listen to and feel water, encouraging learning through play and noise activated sensory stimulation."
The heart-wrenching and inspirational stories of refugees who have found safety and new a life in Australia are told in visceral and compelling detail in a new book published this week. 'Refugee Stories: In their own words' has collected the first-hand accounts of dozens of refugees who have fled conflict or persecution and begun new lives in Australia. Several stories in the book feature people living in the Dandenong area. The book recounts the hair-raising and deeply human journeys of people who have had to flee their homes and it reveals their hopes and dreams for their future. It includes the story of a Syrian Christian man 'George' who survived a year as a captive of the brutal militant Islamist group ISIS and who was constantly threatened with death while being ignorant of the fate of his wife and daughter. It tells the story of Cambodian refugee Hap Dan who, as a small boy sitting on his father's shoulders, made a fateful journey to freedom and safety through Pol Pot's infamous 'killing fields'. And there is also the tale of South Vietnamese naval officer Hao Quach, who steered a rickety boat through stormy seas filled with pirates on an epic journey to safety and salvation.
'Refugee Stories' author Laurie Nowell said the book was aimed at building awareness about the reasons refugees come to Australia and the contributions they make. "Many of the refugees who settle in Australia have experienced trauma, torture or the loss of loved ones. They bring with them memories, traditions, culture and history," Mr Nowell said. "They also bring with them hopes, dreams and ambitions for their children. They are, by definition, resilient and ingenious people who have overcome challenges and dangers just to get here. "Refugees have always, and still, have a lot to offer this country." Refugee settlement agency AMES Australia CEO Cath Scarth said the book was a reminder of the contributions refugees make to Australia. "Refugees bring with them resilience, optimism and a deep work ethic. Australia is fortunate to have people with these qualities," Ms Scarth said. 'Refugee Stories' is about the experiences and the hopes and aspirations of refugees who have made Australia home. Funds raised by the sale of the book will go to support refugees and asylum seekers in need.

Established in 1919, Dandenong High School is one of the oldest and most culturally diverse Secondary Schools in the State. Our vision is simply to create an environment where every student achieves success and realises their potential, and we enact this in all we do.
For young people to succeed in an increasingly secular environment, now more than ever, children need quality education and teaching; to develop the essential skills that will help them to achieve success, think critically and become good decision-makers.
Our unique House structure and state of the art facilities ensure students’ develop a deep connection and strong pride in their school.
Maranatha has a long and rich history in Christian education. Our philosophy sees us partner with home to nurture our students to find true success in life. Through the delivery of an outstanding education model firmly grounded in the Christian faith, we seek to inspire children to develop their God given gifts and talents for a life of service to God and others.
In Years 7-9 students learn in a collaborative model in their House with teams of teachers. Learning is personalised, technology embedded and differentiated to meet individual needs and ensure every student is engaged and challenged.
With talented, well regarded and highly qualified Christian teachers who understand children, Maranatha students can learn, develop, serve, grow and excel by participating in a rigorous, challenging and engaging curriculum at either of our wellresourced Junior Schools at Officer and Doveton or our highly regarded Middle and Senior School at Endeavour Hills.
Our Senior Studies Program and our strong partnerships with tertiary providers and community organisations provides students with an individualised senior pathway and the essential entrepreneurship and other 21st Century skills necessary for success once they leave school. We offer an extensive STEM pathway and SEAL Program and our emphasis on student agency and leadership empowers our students to exact positive change and be responsible community members both inside and outside the school.
Life is a journey, but with a strong foundation in the partnership that is Maranatha, children will flourish as they grown into the plans that God has intended for them.
I am incredibly proud to be the leader of such a unique and dynamic learning community and would encourage you to visit our website or contact the school to arrange a tour.

In order to maximise engagement and wellbeing, we offer:
To all families who are considering enrolling their children at Keysborough College I say that I believe you are making an excellent choice! We aim to provide the very best for every student. From their first day, our students enjoy a supportive and secure learning environment. We provide a positive student learning experience for all students through the creation of a personalised learning environment, via shared effective learning and a culture of high expectation and high achievement across the College. We cater to individual students’ learning styles and the rate at which they learn to improve their results in the classroom. The wellbeing of each student is fostered through a teaching and learning culture founded on positive relationships that encourages and supports students to take responsibility for their own learning. We provide transition programs and pathways for students as they move through the College and beyond. This occurs through the development of authentic learning pathways that respond to the varying values, needs and interests of our students, and building a significant social and academic working relationship with the College’s associated Primary Schools. The benchmark in planning the future direction of our College is to ensure the best possible outcomes for all students, and to provide students, parents, staff and the wider community with the opportunity to be involved in creating our future. At Keysborough College we truly live our values in all aspects of school life: Respect, Excellence and Diversity. I look forward to you visiting our school.
It is a great honour that I begin my first Principalship at St Elizabeth’s Primary School. I’ve had a brilliant start in this faith based community, where the Gospel values we aspire to instil in our students, is present in all that is said and done. As a school leader, it is very rewarding to be a part of a community that wants the best for all within it, where my role is to support, guide, nurture, facilitate and lead all in our community. I believe this important work can only be achieved if all members of the school and parish community work together as a team. My passion lies in the wellbeing of students, as this is paramount for them to achieve success in all spheres of their being. For each child to flourish; be engaged in their learning; be independent; be resilient; take responsibility for their choices and learning, it requires all to have the same vision, dedication and commitment. Our vision is one that needs to be visible and enacted in all that we do and will be driven through various wellbeing and curriculum initiatives. It needs to come alive not just through our words, but our actions too, which I endeavour to harness in all. Our community needs to be inclusive, where all of our relationships are based on respect, treated with fairness and equality. This can only be achieved by being a faith based community, where Jesus is our example and guide and making closer connections with our church and parish. By leading this community, we will continue to build on the outstanding work that has been achieved in all curriculum areas through a contemporary approach. This is an exciting time ahead for our school and I am so humbled to be a part of the journey.

Mandel’s musical mission By Jessica Anstice Classical guitarist Murray Mandel will be performing in Dandenong next week as part of his three year fundraising/public awareness Australian tour for Lifeline. Mr Mandel's journey began in Canberra in March 2017. He will be travelling more or less anticlockwise around Australia with his campervan, and ending in Canberra in March 2020. The Sydney musician will be performing at Armada Shopping Plaza in Dandenong four times, from February 13 to 16, 10am to 2pm. Armada Shopping Plaza is the 117th shopping complex to host him, and Wednesday will be his 283rd performance.
"This fundraising tour is out of my sense of compassion - it's a gruelling tour but a real privilege to reach out and remind as many Australians as possible about Lifelife and that Lifeline is always available 24 hours a day, seven days a week," Mr Mandel said. So far, directly, Mr Mandel's performances have raised $46,728.45. 100 percent of the donations are forwarded to the Lifeline state/regional branches. "The accolades have had been forwarded to me from at least 1200 passers-by," he said. "Hundreds of customers together with nearby shops in the complexes expressed their delights with my live soothing relaxing gentle classical guitar music."
Aadith enjoyed his first experience as a ball boy at the Australian Open. 189947 Picture: CATHERINE SMITH
Ball boy lives his dream By Brendan Rees Aadith Dhinakaran was on the ball at this year's Australian Open. The 13-year-old lived his childhood dream by rubbing shoulders with the world's best players during the tournament held from January 14-27. "I just really liked the experience," he said. "The first time I was on court it was nerveracking but as I went, I settled down."
Aadith of Hampton Park, said he was "surprised to be picked" after missing out last year. He said he was excited to watch Japanese player Naomi Osaka during a match, who went on to win the women's single title. His favourite player is Roger Federer, and although he didn't get to see him play, he said a highlight was being on Margaret Court Arena. Aadith got to take home souvenirs including a free blue tooth speaker and earphones, jumper, towel, and cap.
Classical guitarist Murray Mandel will be performing in Dandenong next week to raise money for LifeLine. 190154

Weda Mohseni receives the Volunteer of the Year Award 2019. 189601
Picture: CATHERINE SMITH
By Brendan Rees Susan Anderson has been mentoring young drivers through the L2P program since 2014. Despite working full time, Susan spends her spare time helping prepare young people from disadvantage backgrounds to obtain a drivers licence. “People can to think it’s a rite of passage, that we just leave school and go and get our licences,” she says. “There are people who are out there who haven’t got the availability either their families can’t take them or whatever.” Ms Anderson says it’s satisfying seeing young people develop with their driving skills, as well as becoming more confident “that they can do this.” For her dedication, Ms Anderson was announced as the Volunteer of the Year during City of Greater Dandenong Australia Day ceremony on 26 January. She says it was “very lovely” to be recognised. “I really quite chuffed - volunteers do things because they want to. “When we do get something like this it just also brings to the fore how important volunteers are in the community,” Ms Anderson said. “We’ve got a big community and we need more and more all the time.” Ms Anderson, who volunteers with the Jesuit Social Services who run the L2P program, says after experiencing a bad car accident 19 years ago when a driver ran a red light and collided with her car, she was motivated her to

Everyone thinks it’s a right to get their licence, it’s actually a privilege. “If it mean I can make one, two, three or four or more safer on the roads or just be more aware of what’s going on, than getting and turning on the key, and going from A to B then I feel I perhaps have given them a bit of longer life on the road,” she said.

Weda Mohseni leads by example and has a passion to help the community. She is an inspirational leader in the Afghani community encouraging women and girls to further their education and consider volunteer work. "I just love helping other people grow, it is immensely satisfying," Ms Mohseni said. "It is wonderful to see them achieve their personal goals and see them and their families thrive. They are the true inspiration, not only to me but the whole of our community. "I know that women have a lot more to offer than staying home and looking after the children. They can study and become anything they want," she added. Ms Mohseni was named the joint winner of the Volunteer of the Year award during City of Greater Dandenong Australia Day ceremony. The honour was bestowed on Ms Mohseni for her service as an active member of the community and engaging in multiple projects run by community organisations. She says volunteering "makes me feel good." "I want women to be empowered, get their own job, and stand on their own feet, under-
stand their rights. That's my goal for them. Ms Mohseni initially performs a face-toface interview with job/study seekers some basic questions including their personal goals, aspirations, and their current life responsibilities. "(This) determines if they will achieve a good life balance through part or full time work/studies, while also taking into account their previous studies and work experience but more importantly to ensure that these activities fulfil them personally," she says. "Some clients do experience limited English skills and also need information regarding Australian lifestyle and culture awareness. Since arriving in Australia in 1995 from Afghanistan, Ms Mohseni has had the opportunity to further her studies including a Diploma of Community Development, Social Welfare and Case Management Chisholm Institute and Training/Assessment certificate. She aims to provide people with information regarding further training which is suitable to their current level and needs and which fits within their daily life. "I am a firm believer in life-long learning, as conditions in life change, and we need to keep in tune with these."

Anderson and Rangers part ways By Hayley Wildes
Locals Raheel Bostan and Odil Perera are currently in Brisbane representing Victoria. 189855
Picture: GARY SISSONS
A pair of proud Lakers showcased By Nick Creely Lynbrook Cricket Club pair Odil Perera and Raheel Bostan are undoubtedly talented, but crucially, have the thirst for hard work, dedication and passion for the game they have grown up loving. The talented youngsters now get the opportunity to showcase their talents for Victoria Metro Under 15s in the National Championships, which started on 7 February in Brisbane, and are representing the Lakers, the community and the DDCA as they look to pull on the Victorian colours with pride. Bostan - a Lynbrook junior also playing Premier Cricket with Dandenong - told the Journal of the tremendous pride he feels ahead of a big week of cricket. "It's reward more than anything to be completely honest, it's a reflection of all the tough work that I have done over the past years that have led me to this point," he said. "I am extremely proud, and hope to do my parents, club and region proud as well." Describing himself as "versatile" cricketer, a bit of 'nudger' with the bat and a bowler that relishes the middle overs, Bostan has starred for the Lakers' Under 15 side this season, and has also recently cracked into the seconds at Dandenong, where he has shown some tremendous signs that he will be a force into the future. He is grateful for his home club and the support they've provided him, but pointed out to two key figures who have given him inspiration.
"Lynbrook has been a great help in this long journey - when I arrived here at 14, they did everything they could to make me prepared for the future, often given me helpful tips and not being afraid to challenge me," he said. "I really look up to Shane Warne and Brett Forsyth - who's our Premier ones bat. Warney because of his ability to out think batsmen and Brett because of how he plays textbook shots so cleanly and elegantly." Bostan said his love for the game stems back to his childhood in Pakistan, and has fostered into something he now lives and breathes. "Being a young Paki boy, I grew up in the streets of Pakistan where asking people if they loved cricket wouldn't even be a question," he said. "I would play with my mates on the streets and after arriving at Australia, I joined my nearest club, and I did pretty good which kind of led me to pursue it as a career." Similar to Odil Perera, a gun Lynbrook junior who is getting some Premier Cricket experience with Casey-South Melbourne, he feels overwhelmed and extremely proud to be representing his state. "The feeling is overwhelming and I feel extremely proud to represent my state," he said. "I'm really excited to spend the next week in Brisbane/Sunshine Coast playing cricket with my teammates and sharing some memorable experiences with them. "The matches are going to aid in my confidence with my cricket skills, allowing me to
put forth my skills against the rest of Australia. "I'm looking to play with a positive mindset and back my abilities to make some runs on the scoreboard and hopefully being able to contribute to another the win for Vic Metro." Describing himself as a batting all-rounder, Perera is an accumulator of runs who also bowls leg-spin. Perera's cricketing pedigree is strong - coming from a cricket mad country - and said his family has been the catalyst for his passion for the game. "Cricket has always been in our household as my father, Himal, used to play first class cricket in Sri Lanka and my sister, Thenushi, who plays cricket too," he said. "The passion grew in the backyard where my sister and I would play endless hours of cricket, batting, bowling and eventually hitting the ball to the next door neighbours house." Playing for the Lakers' Under 17 side, Perera only recently joined the club, but loves the community aspect of his new home. "I joined this club halfway through the season and the club has been inviting giving me the opportunity to be a part of the community," he said. "The people associated with this team are always striving to give us the best cricketing experience hence I am really thankful for that."

Larissa Anderson's time as head coach of the Dandenong Rangers is over, after informing the WNBL club that she won't seek a new contract for next season. Anderson, who joined the Rangers in 2015, led Dandenong to the preliminary finals in her first season at the helm (2015/2016 season), before guiding them to a grand final series in season 2016/2017. The Rangers have struggled to find success over the past two seasons, going 16-26 overall, and missing the postseason on both occasions. Dandenong Rangers CEO Graeme Allen spoke about Anderson's positive contributions to the club. "Larissa has been involved in coaching our elite SEABL and WNBL basketball programs for almost a decade, and her contribution has been significant," Allen said. "Her passion for the team and commitment to the playing group has always been her strength and she will always be a welcome member of the Rangers family." The Rangers began season 2018/19 in memorable fashion by defeating the reigning champion Townsville Fire on the road, but they were unable to hold onto that momentum as inconsistency took over. Finishing in fifth position with a 9-12 record, the Rangers will be looking to return to the postseason in 2019/20 and Dandenong Rangers GM Steven Icke talked about the rigorous search that will be undertaken to find the right coach to take the team forward. "At the centre of any champion team is a head coach driving the performance standards that leads to a strong performance-based culture," Icke said. "The Jayco Rangers will now start the process of finding that person who can drive our WNBL program towards the results we all aspire to."

Bears become regional champions over Sunshine side By Nick Creely Berwick have become the second Dandenong District Cricket Association club to take out the coveted Cricket Victoria Regional Big Bash, after defeating Sunshine United at the MCG on Tuesday morning. The Bears join Cranbourne from two years ago to take home the silverware, with Matthew Chasemore's side controlling proceedings from the outset to further cement themselves as one of the most successful Twenty20 sides in local cricket. 22 STAR JOURNAL

Sent in to bat, openers Nathan Pilon (17) fresh off some truly frightening form - and Jordan Cleland (51) got off to a fast start to slam on 55 for the first wicket, before both stars were eventually removed, with the latter doing plenty of damage on the wide expanses of the ground. But Chasemore got going to once again highlight that he's not lost any of his touch, cracking three sixes on his way to a matchdefining 67 off 35 balls, capping off what has been an extremely consistent tournament with 214 runs at an average of 53.5. In fact, Chasemore was part of the Cranbourne side

that also tasted victory on the 'G only a few years ago. The Bears posted 5/161 off their 20 overs, an excellent Twenty20 team display, which was clearly a strong total on a ground with large boundaries. Quick Brendan Rose broke through quickly to snuff out any chance of Sunshine chasing down the runs, snaring three quick wickets to leave them reeling at 3/29 off seven, in a stunning spell of 3/9 from his four overs. The former Casey-South Melbourne club champion showcased his impressive white
ball skills once again as he continues to build into the back-end of the season. Despite some fight by the Sunshine side, Jack Phillips (2/24), Cory Bevan (1/29) and Isaiah Jassal (1/31) helped restrict them to just 7/120 from its 20 overs. Berwick's path to glory: • Berwick 5/176 def South Caulfield 130 • Berwick 9/129 def Collegians 8/123 • Berwick 3/202 def Montrose 8/152 • Berwick 5/161 def Sunshine Utd 7/120 dandenong.starcommunity.com.au

Resuming at 1/79, still needing 103 runs for victory against the home side, Ben Hillard (67 off 217 balls) and Jagveer Hayer (40 off 111) kept their composure, nudging the Hawks to
Ennis’ winning quartet stuns Sandown Brooke Ennis trained an equal career-best four winners at Sandown Park last Thursday night. The 31-year-old from Lara trains a team of 16 chasers in partnership with her husband Jamie and the couple arrived at the track confident their runners would perform well. They were delighted to see the team exceed expectations. “Yeah we’re really happy,” said Brooke after Charging Yaala completed the quartet of winners. “I thought a couple of them could win on form and you hope they all go well - but for four of them to win is a nice surprise. It’s been a good night.” Particularly pleasing was the win of kennel favourite Tritt Tritt. The son of Ennis’s former star My Bro Fabio blew the start and was shuffled back to a clear last past the post the first time before railing strongly to improve to fourth place through the first turn. He switched to the outside down the back straight

“He is my favourite,” Brooke continued. “He had a few niggling injuries that we couldn’t really get on top of so we just decided to give him the time and fully recover. He probably had longer than he really needed but that was our decision to give him that extra time... “He turned three today too so we’re going to go to Maccas!” Ennis’ first winner came in Race 4 with So It Goes recording an impressive win in 41.88 over the 715m and was followed a race later by Tritt Tritt. Belt Up Bubbs broke a run of six outs by taking out the Free For All in fastest time of the night (29.33) before Charging Yaala rounded out the evening with a 29.38 victory in Race 10. It was the second time Ennis has trained a quartet of winners on a Thursday night at Sandown Park. In January 2015, Ennis led home Lady Toy and My Bro Fabio to victory in the listed Maidment Memorial and Australian Sprint respectively, as well as Cash Rules and Margins in a marquee night for the kennel.

It didn’t take Berwick long to rattle through Mordialloc on day two of their DDCA Turf 1 clash at Arch Brown Reserve in wintry conditions, but it may very well be the firestarter that the Bears needed. Crucially, the Bears all but sealed their spot in the four on Saturday, and effectively ended the season of the Bloodhounds and their chances of defending their premiership crown. The Bloodhounds resumed at 5/104, and in a healthy position to chase down the Bears’ 155 for victory and to draw level with the home side on points. With opener Brendan Morris set on 60, the Bloodhounds entered the day full of confidence. But that was quickly extinguished, with Brendan Rose (2/26) breaking through immediately, forcing the edge of Morris into the safe hands of keeper Nathan Pilon before he could even add to his overnight score. Rose’s stunning start continued, with Liam Bence falling on the very next ball, also to the sure hands of Pilon behind the stumps. After the former Casey-South Melbourne star did the early damage, it was then Matt Chasemore (4/17) who delivered, with the skipper picking up the last three wickets cheaply to end the Bloodhounds on just 109, adding a mere five runs for the loss of five wickets in little over half an hour of play resuming to seal the win. The great Steve Spoljaric, meanwhile, delivered yet another match winning performance with the bat, amassing 89 in Springvale South’s win against St Mary’s. Set a challenging 236 for victory, the Bloods got off to a fine start with openers Nathan King (60) and Michael Vandort (18) putting on 61 for the first wicket, but Spoljaric was the key, helping his side recover somewhat from 3/112 to chase the total four wickets down.
