"There's an assumption that people are unemployed who are living in a car. But it also includes people who are employed," Cr Blades said. "They don't earn enough." Cr Blades suggested pull-ring cans of tuna, soup, fruit and spaghetti, hand wipes and plastic utensils for those who are homeless. Staples such as sugar, tea, coffee and flour were needed for stricken residents. Clothes, gloves, pillows and blankets

were also required. Springvale Benevolent Society president Joe Rechichi said new clients were coming in "every second day" - adding to a list of around 90 singles and families helped each month. Up to 20 of them were homeless. "There's not enough public housing. I see rooming houses with up to eight people in them, each paying $180 a week rent. "If they're on Newstart, they are left with about $30 a week for food or utilities." He recently paid a visit to a household of three women, all who had lost their jobs and

had no food. The Springvale Benevolent Society, wholly volunteer-run and without State or Federal funding, will help anyone - without any need for a referral, Mr Rechichi said. "I always admire those people who have the courage to pic up their phone and say 'can you help me?' "We put food in their tummy."

As winter tightens its grip, Greater Dandenong mayor Roz Blades has urged food donations for stretched charities that report a homeless and foodless "crisis". "There's a crisis, there's a need and Council needs to be made aware of it," Cr Blades told a council meeting on 24 June. "We need (donations) all year round. It used to be an occasional food drive and that would get us by. "If anyone can help us out with food, we'd be very grateful." The volunteer-run Springvale Benevolent Society, which delivers goods, vouchers and blankets across the municipality, was running short of food relief. The Springvale-based charity Friends of Refugees faces a massive weekly demand for about 700 kilograms of food. Homelessness agency WAYSS reports an 11 per cent rise in demand, supporting nearly 5000 people across the South East in 2018-19. WAYSS chief executive Elizabeth Thomas said often they helped families in private rentals who lived week-to-week on wages and benefits and then fell on hard times. "They could then lose their job, experience family breakdown, the car needs repairing or they require a new fridge, and they are unable to pay their rent. "It could be their first time they are faced with homelessness. It's traumatic for them, particularly if children and pets are involved." Ms Thomas said many were being "squeezed out" of the private rental market, on top of rising living costs. Extensive public housing waiting lists and demand for social housing outstripped supply, she said. "There are many people living with friends and family, staying in motels, caravan parks or sleeping in their cars in our community." Cr Blades told Star News of the simple need for embattled families to feed kids their breakfast. There was also a growing list of working

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region

Not so fast fashion By Danielle Kutchel As the fashion industry speeds up, one Berwick designer is slowing it all down. At the age of just 21, Christina Hewawissa has created and launched her own ethical and sustainable fashion label, Rosa Rosa The Label. Combatting the consumerism that dominates shopping malls, Rosa Rosa is all about making more sustainable fashion choices, using fabrics and practices that don’t cost the earth. After accelerating her university degree, Ms Hewawissa landed a job with another brand where she quickly gained hands-on experience in every aspect of running a fashion business - but she wasn’t happy. “The way that they worked was super unsustainable,” she explains. Feeling guilty for pressuring offshore workers to meet unrealistic deadlines, and for contributing to serious environmental harm and endangering animals due to the fabrications being used, she quit and decided to go out on her own, using a brand template she had developed during her time at Billy Blue College of Design. Six months in, the business is growing and Ms Hewawissa is confident she made the right decision. She still lives at home, working from her parents’ garage, which has allowed her to invest everything in her business without the worry of meeting mortgage payments. Owning her own label was always a dream but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon. “I definitely didn’t think I’d be this young. But the opportunity came up!” she laughs. Rosa Rosa was officially launched in March and the second collection dropped in early June. The clothes are made in Melbourne and are 100 per cent vegan. Ms Hewawissa, who designs every piece, says the label is quirky and fun and based on things she enjoys wearing rather than being a slave to trends.

While she has a seamstress make the clothes, Christina creates the sample stock. 195094 As well as being available online, Ms Hewawissa has secured a spot in Design A Space, a Fitzroy store showcasing independent Australian designers. Now, she is gearing up for an appearance at Brisbane Fashion Week in August, a city with a growing interest in sustainable fashion, where she will launch her new season collection. “I’m excited for that because with Spring, you can play with it more, it’s more fun. “I’ve put in so many hours on these and some days are easy, some days are just unbelievably hard. I haven’t really fully enjoyed my brand because I’ve been working so hard on it, but I think I’ll be happy at Fashion Week because I will be able to step back and relax and look at it all come together.” She’s also keen to connect with her Brisbane customer base and with other designers, and use the opportunity to increase her

brand’s recognition. As a one-woman-show, Ms Hewawissa wants her brand to grow organically. She has her eye on expanding her range in the future once she has established a loyal customer base - into menswear, children’s wear and perhaps a range of sustainable shampoos and body scrubs. “It’s slowly evolving and I think that if you put pressure on it it’s going to be really restricting and it’s going to hurt it,” she says. Ms Hewawissa credits her steady approach to her mother, who encouraged her to pursue her dreams and be happy. “My mum showed me that everything can be done no matter what you go through - not from a fashion point of view or business or anything, but no matter what you go through you can get it done if you want to get it done.”

Casey’s call to capitalise on tourism boom Leaders from across the region’s tourism industry joined together to network and discuss regional tourism opportunities for the local economy when City of Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon hosted the annual Mayor’s Business Leaders Dinner. Held at Bunjil Place on Friday 14 June, Cr Stapledon was thrilled to welcome approximately 80 guests, including community members, local business owners, fellow Casey councillors and members from the state and federal governments, to the exciting event. Board members from the recently formed Casey Cardinia Visitor Economy Inc. also attended. As the region’s new tourism board, this dedicated group has set its sights on energising the visitor economy and injecting visitors into the region. Speaking at the dinner, Cr Stapledon said the global visitor economy was set for “continued growth“, presenting exciting opportunities for the local area. She highlighted the benefits of tourism to the wider business community and said that increasing visitation to the region would bolster the broader economy. “Considering we, as the Casey Cardinia Region, are still in our infancy as a visitor destination, expenditure by all key markets is strong and continues to grow each year,” she said. “In the 2015/16 financial year, more than $462 million was generated for tourism and hospitality sales in our region; additionally, over this time, our region hosted almost 3,000 jobs across these two industries. “We are well placed to capitalise on this growth, and with a great diversity of existing and emerging tourism assets, I am very excited for what’s to come.” The event included a presentation from

IN BRIEF

Landfill reaching the tipping point By Cam Lucadou-Wells Greater Dandenong may be the site of a wasteto-energy combustion plant as a solution to a mounting landfill crisis. South East Melbourne’s only landfill tip SUEZ Hallam - is set to be filled within a decade, well ahead of its scheduled closure in 2040. No other landfill sites have yet been identified for the South East, and according to a council report on 24 June - “landfill is a last resort”. Greater Dandenong is investigating being part of a 15-council company seeking to procure advanced waste processing in the South East - subject to legal and financial risks to the council. The most likely option is a combustion plant with some of the waste converted into energy. It would save roughly $23 a tonne on dumping waste in landfill - between $11 and $17 million a year. Other options include a more costly combustion plus mechanical biological treatment - which would separate recyclable and organic materials. It would cost roughly the same as dumping in landfill, according to a council report. “Based on market interest a combustion

solution is most likely,” Greater Dandenong’s metro waste and resource recovery group delegate Cr Matthew Kirwan said. Dandenong South was shaping as the most likely location, he said. “It won’t necessarily be in Dandenong South but given its industrial zoning it has been identified by the State Government for a number of years as a likely location for future resource and recovery operations.” Cr Kirwan said the status quo couldn’t continue due to greenhouse gas emissions, odours, vermin and the contamination of water caused by landfill. He supported the start of the procurement process, if only to answer his questions about the touted environmental benefits of a wasteto-energy plant. Emissions levels were unknown until the amounts of plastic, paper and wood fed into the plant were accurately profiled, he said. He also questioned whether such plants actually reduced greenhouse gases. “Some argue that carbon dioxide produced by burning biomass like paper and wood shouldn’t be included when calculating greenhouse gas emissions from incineration, because those emissions would have occurred anyway in the natural environment. “But left to decompose naturally, those

emissions would likely occur over many decades, not several hours.” He also said there was a risk that wasteto-energy plants may reduce recycling rates though Greater Dandenong has stated it won’t compromise its aims of increasing recycling. In its report, the council states that the best response is for advanced waste processing, along with waste reduction and better recycling of organic and co-mingled waste. “It achieves a high diversion of waste from landfill and increased recovery of resources, without undermining current recycling practices.” According to a council report, 15 councils in the South East are expected to send about 500,000 annual tonnes of waste to landfill by 2021. Without intervention, that is projected to increase by 2 per cent a year. Cr Sean O’Reilly said waste and recycling were the biggest issues facing councils. “The game has changed. “When I was first elected in 2012, Council was making quite a bit of money on recyclables. “Now they don’t want recyclables because the raw materials are cheaper. “If we do nothing the issues and the piles of waste will become mountainous.”

Recycling can’t go up in flames By Cam Lucadou-Wells Dandenong South recycler Ward Petherbridge says recycling and advanced waste processing are both vital parts of the landfill-crisis solution. Greater Dandenong is exploring the procurement of a waste-to-energy combustion facility, in response to the likely closure of SUEZ Hallam tip by 2028. “Currently a large amount of waste is being transported day and night, through the tunnel and over the West Gate to the mega tips in Ravenhall and Wollert,” Mr Petherbridge said. “This is not a sustainable long-term option. “The volumes will be too great and the roads are already congested enough.” The director of Smart Recycling visited combustion plants in China as part of a Greater Dandenong Council delegation several years ago. His preferred solution is a high-tech combustion plant with mechanical biological treatment to sort recyclable and organic waste. “This is a more expensive option and I suspect as with most countries, the cheapest and easiest option of straight combustion with energy recovery will be employed.

Ward Petherbridge, with Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams, near a pile of recycled bricks in the Smart Recycling yard. 191904 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS “There are small amounts of pollution produced, but the vast majority is captured within the emissions control system.” Mr Petherbridge said waste-to-energy was not a threat to recycling. “It will always be more expensive to dis-

pose of waste at a combustion facility, so the economics alone should protect ‘viable’ recycling.” However, he expected ‘unviable’ low-grade mixed plastic would be diverted into the combustion plant instead of recycling - until companies invested in washing and granulating facilities. “It is vitally important that recycling is given priority over combustion. “Measures may need to be taken by Government to ensure the less viable areas of recycling such as plastic recycling is assisted to increase available processing.” Reducing waste at the source was the best way forward, followed by re-use, then recycling and then recovery through waste-to-energy plants, Mr Petherbridge said. The worst solution was to continue with landfill. “It is simply burying the problem for future generations to have to deal with. “Also landfills produce large amounts of methane, which is 24 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. “Ironically, by combusting the waste and controlling the emissions, I think this is the choice of lesser evils.”

Commuter robbed at Sandown Park A commuter walking home from Sandown Park railway station has been grabbed and robbed by two males. The 23-year-old man was grabbed from behind on Lawn Road, Noble Park about 9.30pm on Sunday 16 June. Under demands from the robbers, he handed over his i-Phone XS and wallet.

Students look after basin By Ashleigh Barraclough A group of students from Gleneagles Secondary College are fighting to protect the MurrayDarling Basin at the YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament. Year 10 and 11 students Angela Kavedzic, Jess Fitzgerald, Luke Gablek, Josh Davis, Fergus Thomson and Brayden Dopper will debate their Bill about the Murray-Darling Basin in the chambers of Parliament House in the first week of July. The management of the Murray-Darling Basin, which runs through Victoria, New South Wales, ACT, Queensland and South Australia, has attracted widespread criticism from scientists and environmentalists. Over the summer of 2018 and 2019, three mass fish kills occurred in the Murray-Darling near Menindee due to poor water quality.

Gleneagles College's youth parliamentary team Luke Gablek, Jess Fitzgerald, Fergus Thomson, Brayden Dopper, Josh Davis and Angela Kavedzic. The team was struck by the lack of action from the State Government and the MurrayDarling Basin Authority.

"It got to us that something that massive could happen without warning or blame. It really puzzled us. It drove us to think if we've identified problems, what can we do to solve them, or at least improve them?" Mr Davis said. The students are proposing a Victorian Royal Commission into the mismanagement of the Basin, and are advocating for the creation of a state government body to manage and protect the Basin. The Bill also proposes creating education programs for primary and secondary school students on Victorian ecology and the Basin. "We're going to be able to educate the younger generations who are moving up into politics to understand why this is important and why it's a problem they need to work on to solve," Ms Fitzgerald said. The Gleneagles students' determination to

protect the Basin, which native species and people depend on, shows young Australians are greatly concerned about the state of the environment. "Young people are active and engaged, not just in social issues, which are extremely important, but also in environmental and ecological issues of this state," Mr Davis said. YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament is a program designed to give young Victorians a chance to be heard at the highest levels of state government. Since 1987, more than 30 Youth Parliament Bills have gone on to become Victorian legislation. YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament sits on the 1st, 2nd and 4th of July. Ashleigh Barraclough is a member of the YMCA Youth Press Gallery.

Residents seek rate help By Cam Lucadou-Wells About 30 residents a year are receiving rates relief under Greater Dandenong’s hardship policy. Over the past three financial years, the council waived about $8000 in residential rates - an average of about $270 per successful applicant. The maximum waiver is set at $500 - unless there are “exceptional circumstances”. That cap is about 36 per cent of the median residential rates and charges bill in 2019-20 about $1400. Greater Dandenong corporate services director Mick Jaensch said the council put in place “numerous” payment plans for ratepay-

ers in financial difficulties. “(We) encourage any resident experiencing issues with paying their rates to contact Council and discuss the matter. “Where financial hardship is deemed to be extreme Council will consider waiving a portion of the rates for one financial year. “In these cases Council encourages residents to seek assistance via financial counselling which frequently can be accessed for free.” The hardship policy came under hot debate as it was re-adopted by the council on 24 June. Cr Tim Dark opposed the “band-aid” policy for covering up the issue of “jacked-up” rates that targeted employers and pushed “more and more people below the poverty line”.

“It’s a band-aid on a serious sore that has to be fixed”, Cr Dark said. In defence of the policy, Cr Angela Long said it would particularly assist Springvale pensioners whose property value - and hence rates bills - had soared “astronomically”. “They have lived there for 50 years. They can’t pay the rates but they don’t want to move.” Cr Sean O’Reilly said some councillors talked up the need to reduce rates but were silent on how to slash expenditure. “When you look at the facts we do have the lowest residential rates in Victoria.” Cr Matthew Kirwan said Greater Dandenong had a challenging task of setting “reasonable” rates while requiring more community services

and infrastructure than other councils. He said Cr Dark’s objection was “illogical”. “If we supported his concerns (and opposed the hardship policy), it would make matters worse.” Under the hardship policy, residents can also apply for a waiver on interest on late payments. Pensioners or unemployed residents who have been assessed as experiencing “severe financial hardship” by a financial counsellor may eligible for a payment deferral. Businesses can apply for a payment deferral of up to two years. In 2019-20, rates rose by the State Government-imposed cap of 2.5 per cent.

Call to grow Drug Court

VALLEY VILLAGE MEWS RETIREMENT VILLAGE 112 STUD ROAD DANDENONG

The low-key entrance to Drug Court House in Dandenong. 194791 Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A spokesperson said it expanded the Drug Court to Melbourne in 2017 because "an effective and fair justice system requires a multifaceted approach". "Victoria already spends more on specialists courts, like the Drug Court and the Koori Court, than any other state in Australia. "We'll continue working with the judiciary and legal fraternity to ensure that individuals' offending is addressed." The drug court offers drug treatment orders of up to two years to hardened criminals in lieu of serving time in jail. Offenders are given thrice-weekly drug tests as well as housing, employment services, rehab and counselling in a bid to address the drug addiction fueling their criminality.

The evidence is clear - that "therapeutic" justice works and should be expanded, according to Victoria Legal Aid (VLA). An independent evaluation of the "therapeutic-based" Dandenong Drug Court, recently featured in Star News, has found it's more cost-effective and delivers lower re-offending rates than prison. Despite also expanding to Melbourne Magistrates' Court, the Dandenong branch is at its capacity of 60 participants - with a threemonth waiting list. VLA therapeutic courts managing lawyer Amanda Carter said such courts addressed the "over-representation" of people with mental health, substance dependence and related issues in the justice system. "People with issues like these who come into contact with the justice system must have access to community-based therapeutic programs which support them to recover." "There is clear evidence that therapeutic responses to criminal offending are effective and should be expanded statewide." "Given the evident success of these programs, it makes sense to expand access wherever it is needed, and for governments to appropriately fund them." The State Government has made no indication of further expanding the Drug Court - which includes extra funding for Victoria Police, Corrections Victoria, Victoria Legal Aid and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)

Nature takes its course There is no dignity in death. As life enters naturally so too must it also be allowed to exit naturally. Ours is not to terminate life but to improve its quality. Inherent disrespect of life in any philosophy would be perceived by many to be the degeneration of the advancement of modern civilization that has sought to improve living and pain management issues incrementally and innovatively over the centuries to date. The recent Victorian Assisted Sucide legislation in my view and I am sure I am not alone in this perspective seeks to unravel the wisdom of the ages in making the assisting and hastening of human life (death) at a time of intense vulnerability 'lawful. 'I am aware there are many who would disagree with this view. Unfortunately however this was not indicative of the view that the majority of current Victorian Parliamentarians who supported and ushered the Assisted Sucide Euthanisa legislation into law took with their votes. However I guess we who have an opposing view have to agree to disagree and be thankful for the Opt-out option though this does not diminish or rule out grave concerns that prevail and that this legislation will undoubtedly present more complex problems into the future.

The leader of the dance By Cam Lucadou-Wells For 18 years, Granddad Gardiner bestowed a great gift to an Aboriginal dance group of children. From 1992, he founded and led the Bunjil Aboriginal Culture and Dance Club (ACDC) of Wurundjeri and other Nations. The Dandenong-based group staged more than 250 performances. As they danced, the children proudly promoted Aboriginal culture and spirituality. Now Granddad is 90, legally blind and lives in Springvale. And those memories, embodied in props, costumes and artefacts, are on exhibition at Heritage Hill in Dandenong until 12 July. It all started with a letter from the then-VFL. It was sent out to schools to form a group of Aboriginal dancers for Grand Final half-time entertainment. "They had tried overseas singers from the USA, and they just turned up pissed," he laughs. "It had looked like they couldn't pick a winner." Granddad led them through just four rehearsals at the MCG before the big day in September. It took "a lot of logistics" to keep the excited kids "contained". "They wanted to run all over the place," Granddad said. "But that went well. And after the finals, that set us going. "I could see the potential - it was there, no worries." The group practised every second Sunday at the community rooms at Dandenong and District Aboriginal Co-operative. Gradually the dancers shed their natural shyness. "It was about expressing themselves - which wasn't really an Aboriginal trait," Granddad says.

Granddad Gardiner with one of the Bunjil ACDC hand-painted costumes. 192284 "They're not really extroverts. That's until they get the confidence - and then look out." They experienced some heady times, such as fronting the inaugural concert at Drum Theatre in 2006. The group met a politically-minded Michael Jackson in his Melbourne luxury hotel who talked at length about theirs and AfricanAmericans' plights. They also rubbed shoulders with Bunjil ACDC patron John Landy - an athletic great who was then Victorian Governor. But in 2010, after 250 group performances, Granddad had to give it away. He was finding it difficult to drive the 11-seater tour bus due to

his declining sight. "It blew a head gasket, and then 12 months later it did the same thing. "That helped me make the decision to stop." Since then, the bus has remained on bricks in Granddad's driveway. Granddad has had to fight doubters about the veracity of his heritage. He understands that his mother Catherine Boyd Murray (also known as Beryl Gardiner) was adopted out in Prahran, soon after she was born in Beechworth in 1891. She was believed to have been fathered by an Aboriginal tracker in the area.

Picture: GARY SISSONS Catherine's scandalised mother Lateisha Murray had been forced to give the baby up or else be ostracised from her husband Patrick and family. "I've been carrying my mum's blood since I was born," Granddad says. "This gives me a chance to reply to those who say my mum wasn't Aboriginal." Granddad hopes to find a place where the Bunjil ACDC group's artefacts can be permanently displayed. When they're taken down from Heritage Hill, they will be stowed in his Springvale home garage. The exhibition is at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens until 12 July.

Reaching for the stars Travel to the outer realms with City of Greater Dandenong Band’s musical tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. The cabaret-style concert One Small Step For Band on 20 July features popular-culture references to Space. Expect well-known songs such as Moondance, music from film and TV such as Star Wars and Thunderbirds, and others that reference the Moon and planets. The band will also premiere an original performance of Freefall, composed by Jared McCunnie and commissioned by the band and euphonium player Fletcher Mitchell. The piece is inspired by the supersonic freefall by skydiver Felix Baumgartner. Footage of Baumgartner’s dramatic attempt will form the backdrop for the dramatic piece. “It’s a very tense piece,” tenor horn player Natalie Potenzi says. “It goes through the perspective of him being ready to jump out and then the feeling of falling through space. “There’s a place in the video in which he loses control, so the music takes in some rises and falls.”

City of Greater Dandenong Band's Todd O'Shea, Alan Collard and Natalie Potenzi, reflected in a pool of water. 194639 Special guests include Voices of Casey Choir and cabaret artist Danielle Matthews. Performers and audience members are encouraged to dress up in Space themes, with best-dressed prizes on offer. City of Greater Dandenong Band, with new conductor Jamie Lawson, has about 35 active players aged from 13 to 80-something. It performs monthly, including at Anzac Day and Christmas carol events. One Small Step For Band is at Springvale Town Hall, 397 Springvale Road, Springvale on Saturday 20 July from 6.30pm. BYO food and drinks.

Guillotine cut

Woman robbed by females overnight By Cam Lucadou-Wells Two females have robbed a lone woman on Webster Street Dandenong on the night of Thursday 20 June. The 23-year-old victim was approached by the robbers as she walked towards Princes Highway about 8.50pm. One of the offenders told the woman to hand over her wallet. She showed them the wallet's

contents, believed to be about $45-$65 cash. The victim's i-Phone 7, along with the money, was snatched away by the lead offender. With a double-handed push, the robbers shoved the victim to ground. They fled towards Princes Highway. The victim had no reported injuries. Both offenders were described as African appearance, about 20 years old and slim build. The lead offender was perceived as about

172 to 175 centimetres, with short, curly black hair and wearing a dark-blue puffer jacket and black jeans. Her co-offender was described as about 175 to 178 centimetres, with dark shoulder-length hair with blonde tips. She was wearing an Adidas jumper and blue skinny jeans. Any information to Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7487 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.

A part of South Gippsland Highway in Dandenong South was closed due to a guillotine falling off the back of a truck. Police shut-down the left-hand southbound lane near Dandenong Bypass for about an hour from 9am on Thursday 27 June. A VicRoads spokesperson said the fallen guillotine had gouged the tarmac. A repair crew patched up the damage, spreading "sand and kitty litter" over the road section.

His life for others By Casey Neill

Lee Tarlamis.

Lee Tarlamis says his older brother’s cancer battle inspired him to spend his life helping those less fortunate. His service culminated in a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, announced on Monday 11 June. The Noble Park man and former state Upper House MP received the nod for service to the people and Parliament of Victoria “I’m extremely humbled. It’s not something that I’d expected,” he said. “I didn’t do it to get acknowledgement. “It was about wanting to provide assistance and help to people. “It’s a view that I formed very early on.” Mr Tarlamis said his brother fought cancer for two years before dying at age 17. “The trouble and the stress that the family went through, I saw how positive he was

throughout those two years,” he said. “It instilled in me that as tough as I think I have things, there are always people out there who are doing it a lot worse than me. “That’s why I got involved in the local community.” Initially that was through the Keysborough Learning Centre. “The centre loaned me a computer for me to do my school work,” he said.

“I wanted to repay the favour so I was volunteering time with them.” There he met then-politician Eddie Micallef and became his electorate officer. “That’s how I got into the politics world,” Mr Tarlamis said. “That opened up a lot of opportunities to provide assistance to community groups.” He never intended to run for parliament, but “one thing lead to another which lead to another” and he was a South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP from 2010 to 2014. “That was such an honour as well, when you consider the fact that very few people get to hold that position and represent that large number of people,” he said. Mr Tarlamis was a Springvale Benevolent Society volunteer from 2002 to 2012, a Noble Park Community Action Forum member for many years, a founding Springvale Multicultural Men’s Shed committee member, and more.

He’s now a senior advisor to Special Minister of State Gavin Jennings. The world of politics is not where he thought he’d end up. The Tarlamis family moved from Oakleigh to Keysborough when he was eight months old. He went to Wallarano Primary School in Noble Park and to Chandler Secondary College, where Keysborough College’s Acacia campus now stands. Mr Tarlamis went on to study an associate diploma of business. “I grew up working with dad in the family businesses,” he said. “I thought it would be logical that I would go into the business world and maybe into management or something like that. “I really enjoyed the community stuff. “Politics became that vehicle to do it.”

Thousands of people have backed a resident's effort to fix the Berwick Road and Wellington Road intersection in Narre Warren East. Melany Blackwell, who lives right on the corner of the intersection, collected more than 500 signatures for the petition in under 24 hours. "The amount of signatures just demonstrates the level of concern people have regarding that intersection," she said. "It's an absolutely shocking intersection. We call it 'suicide corner'. "From where I live, we can hear the accidents as they happen and we see the impact of them." Ms Blackwell is calling on the Minister for Roads and Road Safety Jaala Pulford, City of Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon, Yarra Ranges Shire Mayor Tony Stevenson and Member for La Trobe Jason Wood. Her petition seeks either traffic lights or a roundabout but "anything to make it safer" is welcomed. "Wellington Road is often blocked off due to accidents there. It's just terrible," she added. "I actually go to the roundabout down the road just to avoid it, it's just not worth the risk. "I know a lot of people who do the same. They all avoid 'suicide corner'." Member for La Trobe Jason Wood has secured $110m in the Federal Budget for Wellington Road. "This funding is required as sadly over the years there have been many fatalities and se-

Pierre set to lead the Vics By Hayley Wildes Last year, Noble Park local Jerome Pierre represented Victoria Metro in the Basketball Australia under-16 junior championships as a 14-year-old. After playing a vital role on that team which took all before it on the way to winning gold - Pierre will once again pull on the Big V jersey in 2019 and he’ll have some added responsibility this time around. Highlighting Pierre’s growth as a player and as a person, the Dandenong Ranger will be captaining Victoria Metro when the side heads up to Darwin for the national championships which start on 6 July. It’s been quite the rise for someone who only began playing basketball in 2016, and he hopes to use the experience from last year’s gold medal run this time around. “Last year was a great experience and obviously winning it gave me that taste of what it’s like and what it takes to get that gold medal,” Pierre said. “It’s a new start this year though; obviously that was last year and we’ve got to do it for the state again and get the win.” As the only player returning from last year’s gold medal-winning squad, Pierre outlined what he hopes to bring to the group. “I hope to bring some leadership and just bring all my skills, talents and experience to the team to help us win this gold medal,” he said. “I obviously wasn’t the captain last year and it was just good to learn and get the experience. “Now I’m bringing that to this group of boys and to know that they look up to me like this and nominated me as captain is a great feeling. “I look forward to leading and bringing my experience to the tournament.” Claiming back-to-back gold medals isn’t going to be easy, but Pierre believes in the squad assembled. “The boys are great; we really gelled together quickly this year and there are great personalities as well as great talent,” he said. “With the way we’ve gelled together, I think we’ve got a great chance of winning this tournament if we just stick to our game and the way we’ve trained for it.” After exclusively playing the centre position last year for Victoria Metro, Pierre has worked hard on expanding his game and this will see him play a more diverse role this year. “I’ve just been trying to develop everything

Jerome Pierre will captain Victoria Metro at the Australian under-16 Basketball Championships. - learning all the different parts and positions of the game, improving physically and continuing to develop my skills across the floor,” he said. “I’ll be rotating through some positions this year, because like I said, I’ve been developing different skills at different positions and I’ve gained the trust of the coaches to do more this year.” Pierre credits Dandenong for playing a huge role in his development. “Dandenong Basketball has been very im-

portant for me - all coaches across my time there have been very helpful,” he said. “All the coaches, parents, staff and players from every team that I’ve played for have been very supportive and continued to help develop me.” One of the key focus areas of development that Pierre pointed to last year was controlling his emotions. Having put in the work over the past 12 months, he now says that aspect of his game is under control. “I’d say all signs of frustration are almost

Cole’s world cup journey By Hayley Wildes Dandenong Rangers superstar guard Bec Cole was in Amsterdam representing Australia at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup from 20-24 June and the Aussie team did its country proud. In what was a hotly-contested tournament, Cole entered as one of the names to watch with her incredible ability to get to the rim with speed and make things happen from nothing. Australia took care of business on the first day, defeating Andorra (22-9) and Switzerland (20-14). Against Andorra, Cole recorded 7 points and 2 blocks in a complete team performance. Hours later, she put up 7 points and 2 rebounds against Switzerland. Two days later, Australia had two thrilling games against Japan and France, respectively. Both were high-octane and high quality games. Against Japan, it was an absolute nail-biter. With scores tied at 16-all, just nine seconds remaining and the ball in Japan’s hands, Australia got the stop and forced overtime. In overtime, the team that scores two points first wins. On their second possession of overtime, Cole passed the ball to Maddie Garrick who shot a two-point bucket for the win and drained it, sparking wild celebrations from the Australians. Cole finished the game with a game-high 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. After the thrill of that win, Australia took on France and fell agonisingly short of a win. The French team came away with an intense 17-16 18 STAR JOURNAL

victory, handing Australia its first loss. Cole recorded 5 points and 3 rebounds in that game. After getting through the pool stage with a 3-1 record, Australia faced Russia in a quarterfinal and was too strong. With Cole once again leading the way with 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Australia ran out 19-13 winners, setting up a semi-final clash against China. To say the game against China was an epic wouldn’t do it justice. After trailing 12-8, Australia fought back in the final minutes and when Cole drained a pair of free throws with 30 seconds to go, the scores were tied 13-all. An insane pair of blocks from Keely Froling kept Australia alive in the final 30 seconds and the game went to overtime. After China scored a one-point bucket first, Cole answered with a one-pointer - meaning the next team to score would win the game. In a heartbreaking finish, Cole missed a couple of chances to win the game, before China scored the game-winning bucket in the paint to come away with a 15-14 victory. Cole (7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists) starred for Australia. After the loss, Australia took on France in the bronze medal game and unfortunately couldn’t recover from a slow start and suffered a 21-9 loss. A fourth-placed finish wasn’t the ultimate goal for Australia, but there is no doubt that Cole and her Australian teammates gave their all.

Rays fall short of Rebels By Hayley Wildes

It was wet weather football on Saturday as the Stingrays took on the Rebels. 195006 third successive loss. Max Gregory, Clayton Gay and Jack Toner were impressive in defeat. The Rays’ Vic Country representatives were involved in a thrilling win over South Australia in Geelong. Taking on last year’s champions, Vic Country was sensational in claiming a one-

point win, 9.9 (63) to 9.8 (92), as Dandenong’s Cody Weightman slotted the match-winner with minutes remaining. Weightman was sublime all day and booted four huge goals, while Cahill (12 disposals, five tackles and one goal) and Young (18 disposals)

Rowville’s forwards falter against South By Hayley Wildes In the Premier Division of the Eastern Football League, Noble Park put aside an inaccurate first three quarters to storm away with a resounding win over Montrose at Pat Wright Senior Oval on Saturday. A total of just three goals had been scored in the first three quarters of the game in what could only be described as torrential conditions. But in an incredible turn of events, the Bulls slammed on nine goals to one in the final term to run out 11.11 (77) to 2.7 (19) winners. Ever-reliable star Kyle Martin was enormous as his class and toughness shone through, while Jackson Sketcher and Luke Bull were also important throughout the day. The win sees Noble Park move up to sixth position on the ladder with a 5-6 record. Rowville simply couldn’t get its game up and running on the road against South Croy-

don on Saturday. Taking on the Bulldogs, who had three less wins than the Hawks, Rowville’s attacking forays amounted to little all day as the Hawks fell by 29 points, 7.12 (54) to 3.5 (23). Despite the lacklustre effort, the likes of Alex Frawley, Robert Hill and Ben Giobbi were impressive for the Hawks. After 11 rounds, Rowville sits fourth on the ladder with an 8-3 record. Round 12 will see Rowville host Doncaster, while Noble Park takes on Norwood at home. In Division 2 of the Southern Football League, Keysborough, Springvale Districts and Doveton all claimed key wins. The Burras were made to work for their win over Heatherton at home, but the brilliance of Chris Bryan (six goals) was too much as Keysborough ran out 18-point winners, 8.10 (58) to 6.4 (40). While Bryan dominated up forward, Geoff Humphreys and Simon Marchese were key

across the ground. Springvale Districts maintained top spot on the ladder with a 24-point win over Murrumbeena - which sat third prior to Round 11 - at home. The Dees were too good in the end as David Monaghan and Matthew Thompson did as they pleased all day to help Springvale Districts to the win, 8.12 (60) to 5.4 (34). The Doveton Eagles used a spirited second half to take control of the game against Caulfield on their way to victory. The Eagles kicked poorly in front of goal early, but as Brayden Follett (four goals) found his range, Doveton got back into the contest and led by seven points at half-time. Holding Caulfield to just two goals after half-time, Doveton posted a 9.15 (69) to 6.5 (41) win as Michael Callinan and Nick Battle ran riot.

WHAT’S ON at the Dandenong Stadium

again played crucial roles for the undefeated Country squad. Vic Country takes on Western Australia at Marvel Stadium on Wednesday from 2.10pm, while the Rays hit the road to take on the Calder Cannons on Saturday.

12417600-RC20-19 1124822-CB12-14

This time of year is always difficult and, once again without their stars, the Dandenong Stingrays suffered another loss - this time at the hands of the Greater Western Victoria Rebels at Shepley Oval on Saturday afternoon. With many of their key players - including stars Hayden Young and Ned Cahill - unavailable after playing for Vic Country against South Australia in the 2019 AFL Under-18 Championships on Friday, the Rays were unable to stay with the Rebels after quarter time. Kicking with a very strong wind in the opening term, Dandenong dominated possession early but couldn’t put much scoreboard pressure on. When the Rebels kicked a late first quarter goal, they found themselves down by just seven points, 2.2 (14) to 1.1 (7). While the first quarter was wind-affected, the second quarter was when the rain really started to fall, but that mattered little for the Rebels as they powered away with the breeze, kicking five goals to zero in the second quarter to hold a 23-point half time lead. Reece Orchard’s first half was encouraging as he battled hard, but the Rays just simply couldn’t repel the sheer volume of forward 50 entries that the Rebels generated. Needing to get back in the game in the third quarter, Dandenong struggled in the wet and slippery conditions to make any inroads and could only muster one goal in the quarter. Despite holding Greater Western Victoria goalless, trailing by 15 points at the final change with the Rebels kicking with the howling breeze in the final term was always going to spell trouble for Dandenong. To the Stingrays' credit, they didn’t give up and fought it out until the end but were never in the contest as Greater Western Victoria won by 28 points, 8.5 (53) to 3.7 (25). Just one goal after quarter-time was never going to be enough for the Rays, who fell to their
