Danger driver forgets A driver said he had no recollection of sliding onto the wrong side of the road, forcing a fullyladen fuel tanker to take evasive action during a police chase through Dandenong and Rowville, a court heard. “F***, sounds pretty serious,” Bodhan Dunn, 25, later told police. “I honestly don’t remember.” In June 2018, an unmarked police car followed Dunn as he dramatically accelerated and braked, wove through traffic and veered out of lanes on Princes Highway, Clow Street and Stud Road. Dunn turned onto Wellington Road, accelerating rapidly and losing traction into the path of the fuel tanker. Police told the court that a serious crash was avoided only due to the truck driver’s evasive action. At another turn at a Wellington Road intersection, he skidded across three lanes. He travelled down EastLink without registering a toll due to the false number plates on his unregistered blue Holden. Back on Princes Highway, he ran a red light. He deliberately fishtailed for about 80 metres on Heatherton Road before he was boxed in by police. At the time, Dunn - a suspended driver on a

0.00 blood-alcohol interlock condition - smelt of liquor, police claimed. He refused to give a breath test; a disconnected interlock was found in the driver’s side footwell. Police told the court that the inside edges of the Holden’s bare rear tyres were worn down to their wire frames. Dunn pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and a string of traffic offences. He also admitted to charges of criminal damage for smashing his mobile phone and then flinging a second phone through his mother’s TV screen. Dunn’s priors included drink-driving, dangerous driving, recklessly causing injury and assault, the court heard. On 30 July, Dandenong magistrate Tara Hartnett described the driving as “appalling, appalling offending”, and the criminal damage revealing “shocking attitude”. Ms Hartnett said Dunn would face immediate jail but for the driving offences being more than 12 months old. Instead she was considering a community corrections order to minimise his risk of reoffending - taking into account his young age, Aboriginal background and family support. He was bailed to appear on 31 July for a community corrections order assessment and sentencing.

Slug of sabotage? By Cam Lucadou-Wells

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Ian Cook, with son Ben Cook, holds alleged evidence of a planted slug. Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS holder in the Meals-on-Wheels provider and “basket-case” Community Chef. “We’re their largest competitor. As soon as we’re out of the way, it allows Community Chef to put themselves out there as the only one left in the system.” After the criminal matters, Mr Cook expects to resume his Supreme Court lawsuit against the council and the Department of Health and Human Services. He says he will seek damages for the destruction of his company and reputation. “They’ve destroyed us. They set us up.” A Greater Dandenong Council spokesper-

son said it took the allegations by I Cook Foods “extremely seriously”. The council said it had referred the matter to IBAC, which in turn referred the matter to the Victorian Ombudsman for an initial review. “Following that review the Ombudsman has determined that no further investigation is warranted.” Ms Rogerson has filed an appeal against the Ombudsman’s assessment, alleging a “number of errors” in the investigation. The case was adjourned for a contest mention at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 3 October.

Major contract win for Wallara marked By Danielle Kutchel Australian disability enterprise Wallara has opened its new, larger building at 160 Bridge Road Keysborough, in a significant expansion that could lead to more supported employment jobs in the future. The new building leaves the organisation with plenty of room to grow, according to general manager of Wallara Logistics John Simcocks.And it seems the expansion is already paying off. During the official opening party on Friday 2 August, Mark Harrington of CPB Contractors announced on behalf of Rail Systems Alliance that Wallara would be contributing to the upgrade of signalling equipment for high capacity trains across Melbourne, by storing, picking, packing and sending equipment components to key locations for the infrastructure project. Mr Simcocks said this was a significant win for Wallara's roughly 140 employees. "It's a two year contract which hopefully should extend to five years if things go well," he said."It means more work opportunities for the people already here and it also means we can take on more people in supported employ-

ment in the next couple of years, because this is our first government contract and I hope we can get more." Premier Daniel Andrews was also on hand to help officially open the new facility, in an event that doubled as the organisation's 60th birthday. After a comprehensive tour of the facility, during which he was shown around by members of Wallara's Employee Representative Committee, the premier announced $35,000 in funding for automatic doors on the building's atrium as a finishing touch for employees. "If somebody invites you to their birthday

party, you should bring a gift," he joked during the announcement. He also expressed his pride in Wallara's work and hinted that there may be further work in the pipeline for the organisation to take on. Mr Simcocks said the premier's endorsement of the organisation was important to employees. "We're not just a commercial enterprise, we're about providing workplace opportunities for people of all abilities and he highlighted that, and the quality of work that he was able to recognise that our people produce."

Police are investigating a violent brawl that erupted on the pitch and sidelines of a soccer game at Ross Reserve, Noble Park on Friday night (2 August). In wild scenes, about 50 spectators invaded the arena at the Springvale City-Sandown Lions State League 4 clash at the 88th minute. A Springvale City senior player reportedly had his front teeth knocked out during the riot and required dental surgery. Police, including its Public Order Response Team, were called to Memorial Drive about 10.15pm. A 23-year-old man was struck by a rock and declined medical attention, police say. Greater Dandenong councillor Tim Dark has called on the council to ban both clubs from playing on council reserves, pending Football Victoria's investigation into the riot. "On Friday night, both were to blame for what occurred. Neither team should play this weekend. "Until we can investigate what factors were behind it, the risk is too great to have them playing on City of Greater Dandenong reserves where patrons are watching soccer and put at risk." He said associates of both clubs were "to blame" for the violence. Several players were bleeding and some sheltered in the pavilion. "The ground went into lockdown". Cr Dark said he'd previously raised issues about Sandown Lions fans such as abuse hurled at young families and spectators from opposition. Sandown Lions secretary Bol Luak said the club would not comment, pending Football Victoria's findings. "We submitted a match report to Football Victoria so we're waiting for them to investigate. "At this stage the club has decided not to make an official statement to the media. We don't want to jeopardise the investigation." Mr Luak said Cr Dark's call for a temporary ban was not "absolutely necessary". He alluded to a game involving Springvale City being called off due to a brawl earlier this season. Springvale City player Steven Sharifi told reporters that the player who lost his teeth had been trying to break up the fights. "It was just horrendous. It's not something you want to see on a soccer pitch. "Someone needs to take action."

A defiant Ian Cook has vowed to fight up to 96 charges levelled by Greater Dandenong Council at him and his commercial catering company iCook Foods. He says his $26 million Dandenong South company has been wrongfully ruined since it was blamed for the listeria-related death of an elderly hospital patient and shut down by authorities for 36 days in February and March. Mr Cook arrived at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 1 August to plead not guilty to what he says are “trumped-up” breaches of food safety laws. “The inconsistencies, the lies and fabrications have been quite phenomenal,” he told reporters. “It’s quite disgusting.” The matter was adjourned for contest mention in October. Outside the court, Mr Cook claimed that a council inspector planted a slug in the factory. “I’ll allege it all day long or someone can explain how it could happen.” It comes on top of recent claims by whistle-blower and former Greater Dandenong health inspector Kim Rogerson that she was pressured to fabricate evidence against iCook Foods. “She’s never seen a council home in on a particular company with an intention to destroy them,” Mr Cook said. “We have passed every audit for the past 30 years in Dandenong - three audits a year - and then within three days they had us shut and done and dusted.” Mr Cook said the City of Greater Dandenong had a conflict of interest, as a share-

Families bring real thing By Cam Lucadou-Wells There's no doubt that Little Peddler is the real deal - or as they say the "real nonya" - for traditional Malaysian food. In other words, the flavours are no holds barred from East Malaysia, Kuching and Sarawak regions. Its curry puff with a melting, buttery pastry and a bitingly sharp sardine, potato and chilli sambal filling is a unique must-try. Another is a deeply flavoursome prawnand-clam noodle dish known as Char Kueh Tiaw (CKT). Infused in oyster sauce, it's also available in beef or tofu versions. Married couple Antonia and Chhee Law have brought the hawker-style of their popular St Kilda eatery into Dandenong Market - making use of the 153-year-old market's fresh veg, meats and seafoods. "I grew up here," Antonia says. "I went here ever since the fishmongers and butchers were laid out in a line. "I always wanted to be part of the market." She's been a cook since she was chopping vegies and cooking rice at 7. Chhee said he didn't want to "Westernise" the traditional Malay offerings. "We decided we would serve our food as we would eat it."

Little Peddler's cosy layout displays foods from eyeline to ceiling. It's a warm place from another world. The other pleasant aspect is that Antonia's parents Van and Ngoc Nguyen's Little Asia eatery lives next door. It's an intimate family corner, with each of their frenetic kitchens opening to one another. On the Little Asia's thick round chopping board, Van heaves a large cleaver as he slices barbecued meats such as Peking duck. The Nguyens, who also run a Springvale outlet, offer great South Vietnamese Rachgia lunch fare such as pork sliders with the most incredibly succulent crackling. Most popular in winter are the spicy noodle soups known as BBH (Bun Bo Hue). One of them is a medley of white pork meat loaf, beef balls, pork jelly, spring onions and coriander.

Addict stigma By Cam Lucadou-Wells People are more willing to report their drinking problem, mental health issue or affair than admit they have a gambling issue. Such is the crushing stigma faced by gambling addicts, says Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation chief executive Shane Lucas. During a meeting in Dandenong on 2 August, Mr Lucas heard the personal story of a counsellor's family friend who took his own life. Friends can't be sure that it was the gambling problem that led him to his self-destruction. But they knew of the man's deep inconsolable shame over his addiction. "We have research that people would rather tell you anything than tell you they have a gambling problem," Mr Lucas said. The language of the gambling industry foists the onus directly on the gambler, Mr Lucas argues. Or in other words, if you have a gambling problem it's directly your fault. It minimizes the influence of other personal issues or that the person is under sway of an addiction, he says. According to official 2018-'19 statistics, Greater Dandenong poker machines continue to reap about $119.3 million. It equates to $910 lost per Greater Dandenong adult. Greater Dandenong is fourth-highest in pokies losses in metropolitan Melbourne behind Brimbank ($143 million), Casey ($132

million) and Whittlesea ($120 million), and has the second-most poker machines in Victoria council areas (957). The council area's residents are also among the most socio-economically disadvantaged - and also vulnerable to gambling harm, Mr Lucas said. Some of its many CALD communities were particularly vulnerable due to social isolation as well as the prevalence of local machines. The VRGF doesn't seek to ban pokies, but works towards reducing harm to the most vulnerable, such as funding SICMAA to reach out to gamblers in Springvale's Vietnamese community. SICMAA supported nearly 100 clients in 2018-'19, with a further 1200 taking part in group activities. With VRGF funding, Connect Health and Community provided counselling to 1228 clients "at the pointy end" of harm in the south metro region. The foundation is also looking towards campaigns against the "normalization" of gambling, such as sports betting companies. Pokies is the province of an ageing demographic; sports betting and online gambling is attracting a younger crowd, Mr Lucas says. As a parent, it strikes him home when he sees that online children's games carry the same "architecture" as adult gambling sites. A prevalence study report on the types of gambling will be released by October-November.

Moo-ving pictures milked Students at Hallam Primary School have made a cow their canvas as part of a Picasso Cows program. Their painting of a large fibreglass cow, dubbed Mrs Cowington III, shows the journey of milk from farm to fridge. It was an element of a Dairy Australia course that also taught students on nutrition and the impact of drought on food supplies.

Spokesperson Vanessa Forrest said the Farm to Plate curriculum provided insight into the $13 billion Australian dairy industry. "With many children increasingly growing up in urban areas, they often don't know where their food comes from and Picasso Cows is a great opportunity to educate the next generation."

Bail is refused despite backdown by ‘victim’ By Cam Lucadou-Wells A wife allegedly bashed and strangled by her ex-husband over a three-day period has declined to give evidence against him, a bail hearing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court heard. She also supported the dropping of charges including assault, threat to kill and persistent breaching of a family violence intervention order, as well as her alleged perpetrator's immediate release on bail. The man has denied the allegations. Acoording to police, the man had threatened her with a knife at Dandenong Oasis swimming pool, as well as in her own home. He'd also woke her up in her own home at 1.30am - in breach of an intervention order, the court heard. On 9 June, amidst another argument, the man allegedly slapped the victim's face and dragged her around the house. He started "poking" a knife around her chest area, confiscated her phone and dragged her out to his car, the court was told. As he drove, he choked her and threatened to kill her or her family as well as to commit self-harm, police alleged. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen refused bail, despite accepting a defence lawyer's submission that there were "compelling reasons" for the man's release. "It comes down to this. I'm not comfortable in releasing you on bail. I'm not confident that the risk of you reoffending can be reduced to an acceptable level." He dismissed arguments that the prosecution case was weak. "There is a sworn statement (by the wife). It is cogent. The allegations in it are serious. "It is in the back-drop of there being arguments over a dowry and an allegation of an as-

sault on 11 March. "There have been further assaults, if not an escalation, by you on 7 June, 8 June, 9 June and 15 June." Mr Vandersteen rejected the two addresses suggested for bail - either in Endeavour Hills or with a sister in Western Australia - as unsuitable "in the absence of any evidence". "Even if the evidence was before the court, it does not reduce the risk of you reoffending against your ex-wife." A defence lawyer argued that the allegations relied entirely on the wife's evidence. She had since made a 'no-complaint' statement that she was yet to sign, the lawyer said. There was no corroborative evidence of injury, no CCTV or independent witnesses despite the allegations being set in "numerous public locations", the court heard. Two other witnesses also refused to give a police statement. The 30-year-old accused had no prior history, was well-educated as a maritime electrical engineer and was recently diagnosed with diabetes and depression, the court heard. Spending the past six weeks in remand, the accused sat in the dock with an interpreter. He was a vulnerable prisoner due to language barriers, the lawyer told the court. Police had opposed bail due to the man being an unacceptable risk to his ex-partner. A prosecutor conceded its case had "some evidentiary issues". The man was remanded to appear at a contest hearing at Dandenong Magistrates' Court on 21 August.

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region

Commit goals to paper TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS IAN ASH Wouldn’t it be great if 2019-20 were your best year yet? As we have just embarked on a new financial year, now is a great time to plan what you want to achieve which means starting with the end in mind and defining your specific business goals. Many business owners may claim to have these already defined but few actually have these formally written down anywhere, so why bother anyway? Well, here are 3 good reasons for taking the time to do this properly:

Darren Roberts, right, with Jay Pinkster from Wallara TV (left), Ben and Bella. 194046

Communication is key with Auslan By Narelle Coulter The Casey Cardinia Region is home to the only deaf owned and operated Auslan training organisation in Australia. The Auslan Company is the passion and the pride of Pakenham’s Darren Roberts. Darren started his business in 2004 with two teachers, Jennie and Walter, who are still with him today. The business now has 20 teachers on its books who provide a range of Auslan language training to business, schools, childcare centres, sporting clubs and in other community settings. “Teaching Auslan is our passion and we teach Auslan anywhere in Australia,“ Darren explained. A former horse trainer and disability worker, Darren was born hearing but a bout of meningitis when he was four robbed him of his hearing. He wore a hearing aid until he was in his 30s when his tinnitus started to be amplified by the aids. That's when he "truly became a deaf person who cannot hear anything but can talk normally". Darren's motivation for starting his business was simple. “I wanted to work for myself so I could be home with my children in the school holidays and the summer holidays and I don’t like being told what to do. I’m a bad employee!“ Darren said. “I love being creative, visionary and innovative - to do things with Auslan that others do not do." The Auslan Company offers courses for Auslan beginners and intermediate students and short introductory courses or longer weekly courses in workplaces. It offers deaf cultural awareness for workplaces and teaches Auslan in childcare centres to both staff and children. Darren's team has also expanded their work into schools, which can now choose Auslan as a LOTE subject. “We also teach weekly courses to staff in disability schools, in disability centres and for

DHHS in group homes,“ Darren explained. Teachers also work with families who have a deaf child through the NDIS. To extend the reach of Auslan in the general population, the company has also created an Auslan USB learning resources for anyone in Australia to learn Auslan at home. Darren’s customers include the Federal Government through the NDIS, local councils, universities, childcare centres, kindergartens, the Red Cross, the Apple store at Southland Shopping Centre and the St Kilda and Melbourne football clubs. “We go into workplaces such as a luggage shop or a café and teach basic meet and greet and money signs so staff can communicate with deaf customers and get repeat business deaf people will spread the word," he said. “Auslan overcomes many language barriers and helps people unable to verbally communicate have a sign language to use instead." Darren’s passion for his business and its social dividend is palpable. “I just love teaching the language and sharing my language with people who are really interested in learning. I find it amazing that so many people want to learn. It’s awesome! “And I am inspired because many deaf people have family who do not sign to them so providing people with an opportunity to learn Auslan and to communicate with their deaf family members, friends, workmates and deaf customers is a brilliant thing. It is so inclusive and makes us belong. “At present, each year we teach around 1000 people in our various Auslan courses but in primary schools and childcare centres through our Auslan LOTE programs we are teaching around 4000 children each week. That is amazing! And this will get bigger as more and more schools add Auslan as their preferred LOTE subject.“ The Auslan Company relies on word of mouth referral for its growth which can be a challenge. “We are David to the Goliath of State Governments funded deaf societies who also provide Auslan community and workplace cours-

es and get funded millions to do so and as such have a huge marketing account,“ Darren said. Another challenge is working from home, balancing family and business time, which often necessitates evening work. Asked where he hopes to take the company in the next 10 years, Darren’s vision is boundless and includes a series of YouTube stories where he interviews famous deaf people and a TV sports program on Wallara TV where all the presenters are deaf. There are also plans for a pilot show for the ABC where The Auslan Company teachers teach Auslan beginners for people Australia wide to learn at home. The company is already moving into the performing arts space and recently worked with actors who needed to be able to sign in a play. In South Australia the company has been asked to translate 6 songs into Auslan for a primary school performance of a ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ plus create an Auslan signed version of the play to be shown simultaneously for deaf family and friends attending on the night. Darren would also like to create a poetry and short story writing workshop group called ‘Deaf Poets Society’ and he has a book in the pipeline called My Daddy is Deaf. “With my daughter Samantha, a Wurundjeri woman, I want to create an aboriginal inspired and deaf related series of workshops that connects the two worlds." It's no understatement when he says "It’s a very exciting time“! Darren is grateful that his disability has allowed him to not only build a successful business, but also touch people's lives in a positive way. “I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to make a small difference to someone somewhere out there and knowing that we are helping change people’s lives makes the work so enjoyable.“ More information can be found at www. learnauslan.com.au/victoria or email Darren at theauslancompany@gmail.com

CLARITY Something almost magical happens when you commit what is in your head to paper or a Word document. It is almost as if your words take on a presence of their own daring you to defend the targets you have just set yourself and think harder about whether this is really what you want. It is not at all uncommon for the original objective(s) to be honed, refined or even completely rewritten as the implications of your own ambitions become more clear. When goals remain in your head, they can be easily changed and it’s very hard to hit a moving target. As a former business award judge, I had the opportunity to review submissions that included a question on a company’s business goals. These often included some lofty ambitions such as “grow the business by 50%”, but did this imply increasing annual turnover, net profit, number of customers or number of staff? This is where the application of the SMART principle (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-specific) provides tremendous benefit in crystallising what is required and how achievement can be measured. FOCUS In recent discussions with business owners, I actually had two tell me that setting a specific goal was “irrelevant” since they would “get what they would get” and because you cannot predict some targets (e.g. sales). However, this is simply not true. You may well have seen the Jim Carey interview on Oprah in 1997 who described how as a struggling young actor, he wrote himself a cheque in November 1992 for $10 million for “acting services rendered” dated 3 years into the future and saw this become a reality when he got his first movie role in Dumb and Dumber just before November 1995. The clearer we are about our ultimate objective(s), the more our actions line up accordingly to maximise the likelihood of success. ALIGNMENT Whilst it may be obvious to us what needs to be achieved, it is dangerous to assume that everyone else has this same level of understanding. Writing goals down and sharing them with your staff early on provides the opportunity for them to be further refined and improved and greatly enhances wider buy-in to their achievement. Here’s to your success in 2019-2020 through well-defined business goals. Ian Ash is the managing director of OrgMent Business Solutions (www.ombs.com.au)

LOOKING BACK

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society

100 years ago 7 August 1919 Discussed at Public Meeting On Monday evening a public meeting was held at the Dandenong Town Hall to discuss with the shire engineer (Mr Woodcock) suggestions for improving the approaches to the town. The attendance numbered about one hundred. The public meeting was called so that matters could be discussed with the ratepayers. Mr Woodcock had prepared a scheme, which would be placed before them and the details could be discussed. The matter of enclosing portion of a reserve, near the bridge had been considered by the council and there was also the matter of improving the Main Road, near the High School. The engineer enumerated the proposed work as follows. South of creek between Frankston Road and Cranbourne road: 65 trees and

guards, 58 trees in the park area. West side of Dandenong between the bridge and Frankston Rd; 27 trees and Guards. North of the town to the High School 10,400 ft. of post and rail fencing, ploughing, and planting for 420 trees. Mr Woodcock stated that the reserve beyond the creek was to be extended and at Hemmings Lake, there were to be a couple of rustic bridges and several pathways.

50 years ago 5 August 1969 Councils’ keen for a Library Councils of Springvale, Dandenong, Berwick, and Cranbourne are keen on establishing a regional library service. Details of a conference last week of representatives of the four councils were given at Dandenong Council on Monday by Cr I Fotheringham. Cr Fotheringham said the combined popu-

lations of the four municipalities were about 135,000 which although short of the 220,000 needed for ideal economic working, were satisfactory. Cr Fotheringham said should the committee decide to proceed with arrangements for a regional library, funds could be allocated. He considered the amount council would have to find for its share in the undertaking would amount to 1.7% of revenue. "It is fortunate we have adjoining councils so keen now on library services and so willing to have headquarters in Dandenong

20 years ago 2 August 1999 Transport of the future More buses and express trains, and a better road network are the highlights of Greater Dandenong's draft Municipal Transport Strategy. The council's team leader of civil and

transport planning Mr Clancy Philippe, said the plan was a blueprint for the next 10 years.

5 years ago 4 August 2014 The need for work Talk to any charity worker in Greater Dandenong they'll tell you that giving work rights to asylum seekers would solve many problems. Since August 2012 asylum seekers on bridging visas have been banned from work or study by the Federal Government. They're given basic Medicare access and 89% of Newstart to live off - or the even less generous Youth Allowance of 18-21 year olds. Migrant service AMES asylum seeker team leader Lesly Eksteen said many were depressed due to combination of isolation, language barriers, unaffordable transport and education and being unable to work.

Simple solution on water By Cam Lucadou-Wells A water-purification charity based in Eumemmerring is creating large ripples across the world. Disaster Aid Australia's inexpensive and simple Sky Hydrants are providing clean water in more than 200 rural schools and villages in Bhutan, India, Columbia and the Philippines. These life-changing instruments, installed for $5000 each, remove all bacteria from 10,000 litres of water a day. That's enough to sustain a community of 700, or a school of 1000 students. "It provides safe drinking water for less than a dollar per person per day," says DAA chief executive Brian Ashworth. The hydrant requires no electricity or chem-

Sky Hydrant-filtered water at a school in Bhutan. icals, and little maintenance but a simple clean. The filter membrane is good for 10 years. The project was shortlisted in the Energy Globe 2018 international awards. It made the top 16 out of more than 2000 entries, and was ranked as the best from Australia.

Disaster Aid Australia was formed by the Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills. With two parttime staff and loyal volunteers, it delivers more than $250,000 of overseas aid, including disaster relief. It aims to provide clean water to every major school in Bhutan by 2020. It has provided 40 Sky Hydrants to the schools - about a third of its target of 120. Mr Ashworth, a retired water engineer and former manager at South Gippsland Water, quickly saw the utility of DAA's work. "It's what was needed in the developing world. "It's low cost and very easy to operate. "Over my career I've seen high-tech solu-

tions that break down and there's no one there to fix them. "It's no good having a high-tech plant if you need to fly in someone from Australia when something breaks." The hydrants are eradicating common illnesses in the communities. "That's a big thing. Because children are ill less often, their education improves. "Because people aren't buying bottled water from the supermarket, the amount of disposable bottles disappears." DAA is always after more volunteers and donors to help spread its good work in Timor Leste and Ghana. To help go to disasteraidaustralia.org.au

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.”

Teaching the healthy way By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Noble Pak Primary students and Patterson Cheney helped green the environment on Schools Tree Day.

Tree day helpers plant it Patterson Cheney Toyota staff got their hands dirty helping Noble Park Primary School students mark Schools Tree Day on Friday 26 July. National Tree Day encourages communities to help preserve the environment for future generations. “Schools Tree Day is a great way to teach kids about caring for the environment and creating a greener future,” said Patterson Cheney Toyota Marketing Manager, Gabriela Goldfarb. “The students are given an opportunity to plant and care for the seedlings as they grow, while also beautifying the school grounds.” 2019 is the 20th anniversary of Toyota Australia’s support for the national campaign. Over 2,000 schools were involved last year as part of National Tree Day. “It’s inspiring to see our dealerships connecting with local communities and schools and instilling the importance of preserving the environment in our next generation,” said Toyota Australia Chief Marketing Officer, Wayne Gabriel.

New Vechicle Sales Manager Joel Dabrera helps with the planting. “The support we’ve received for Schools Tree Day and National Tree Day over the last 20 years from Toyota Australia dealerships all over Australia is an inspiring testament to the company’s values.”

We need more empathy and compassion for what students endure, says Dandenong High School PE teacher and university educator Sara Villiers. She jumped at the chance to take part in a free public mental-health forum at Dandenong High School on 21 August. One challenge is the information-rich world that saturates a young person's growing mind. "Young people are taking in more information now than anyone before them," Ms Villiers says. "They're absorbing all of that in trying to make sense of the world and who they should be." But on the other hand, struggles are rarely shared on ever-pervasive social media platforms. We get "curated" snap-shots rather than the back stories, Ms Villiers says. "We are only seeing the amazing things that people are doing, not the struggles. "It sets up this expectation that we should attain this level of perfection." Ms Villiers wants more emphasis on social and emotional wellbeing in schools - not just academic scores. It is not just good in itself, but leads to better academic results, she argues. "Schools are struggling to keep up with it. Even in teachers - one in four adults will have a mental illness. "Mental health issues are on the rise, cardio and cancer rates are on the rise - we've fallen into the trap of always needing to be busy. "We should make space to spend time with family and friends, and doing things together." Ms Villiers' empathy comes from hard personal experience. At 16, she sought help for depression. And it took some time to find the right professional with the right treatment, she says. Six years later, she had her first panic attack. "When I went through it, it still wasn't

Sara Villiers says social and emotional wellbeing are neglected. 196320 Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS something spoken about." More are speaking more about mental wellbeing and illness, but still many dismiss it and are reluctant to acknowledge their struggles, Ms Villiers said. "We need to normalise help-seeking - that's why I got into this space." Currently on leave, Ms Villiers started her own business The Metanoia Movement. It's a resource for parents, schools and teachers to help them understand emotions. And to "use strengths to overcome challenges," she says. "I want teachers to work with students to find their own strategies. "To use their strengths, which have a positive impact on their health, wellbeing and decision making." The Mental Health Forum is held by Rotary Club of Greater Dandenong. Other speakers include Christina Molina of headspace, and psychiatrist Greg de Moore. It is at Melaleuca Theatre, Dandenong High School, David Street, Dandenong on Wednesday 21 August, 7pm. Free entry, gold coin donations for mental health research (via Australian Rotary Health) are welcome. Bookings: leannebyron59@gmail.com

FOCUS ON … DENTAL HEALTH WEEK

Miles of smiles it’s Dental Health Week Dental Health Week, which takes place this year from 5 to 11 August, is the Australian Dental Association’s major annual oral health promotion event. Its aim is to educate Australians about the importance of maintaining good oral health by promoting these key messages: Brush twice a day with a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Clean in between teeth at least once a day with floss or an interdental brush. Eat a healthy, balanced diet and limit sugar intake. Regularly visit the dentist for check-ups and preventive treatment.

· · · ·

This year, these important messages will be reinforced via the tagline How’s Your Oral Health Tracking?, which draws off the ADA Oral Health Tracker report cards, a world-first initiative that documents and tracks Australia’s oral health status. Tempting though it is to think everyone is practicing good oral health, the reality is that the oral health of many Australians is not where it should be. 65% of Australians haven’t seen a dentist in the last two years. 50% of Australians brush their teeth only once-a-day. Nearly 40% never floss or clean between their teeth. 73% of young people (14-18 years) are consuming too much sugar. All of which means that getting the message out there about good oral health is more important than ever. Since the best oral care education occurs face to face, from dental professional to patient, we’re encouraging you to use the Dental Health Week website, the associated resources, and even the ADA’s Oral Health Tracker to help start conversations with your patients and the wider community about keeping track of their mouth health and making their oral health a high priority.

· · · ·

The Smiles First team is looking forward to celebrating Dental Health Week.

Say ‘ahh’ to them If you’re like most people, you’re probably tracking an ahh-mazing ’to-do’ list! While you’re tracking daily steps taken, calories consumed,your heart rate, water intake and your next doctor appointment...have you considered the health of your teeth and gums? You might think it doesn’t matter if you miss a bit of flossing, skimp on the thoroughness of your brushing, live on burgers and fries or tell you dentist “thanks but no thanks,I’ll see you when I need to“. You night be surprised to know that your oral health has direct connection to your general health and wellbeing. So How is your oral health tracking?

Noble Park Secondary College's vast diversity was celebrated at a day-and-night Customs and Culture Concert on 1 August. Many of the 52 cultures within the student population were represented, including from China, Italy, Pakistan, New Zealand, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cook Islands, United Kingdom, Korea, India and Afghanistan. During the day concert, students performed traditional songs and dances to local primary school pupils. In the evening, more than 600 people watched the performance. Among the guests were students and teachers from sister-school Shiminato Senior High School in Japan. They also performed a medley of Japanese songs. "Guests were in awe of the performances, and the talent that was showcased throughout the concert," a college spokesperson said.

The launch of Narre Warren's highly-anticipated 1001 steps track has been controversially dumped amid concerns it would have been disrupted by anti-mosque protesters. Casey Council cancelled the event just days after approving plans for a proposed mosque in Narre Warren North where about 50 people were locked out of the public meeting on 16 July - which was described some as "disgusting" and "manipulative". Staunch mosque opponent councillor Rosalie Crestani said she was "a bit shocked at first" of the event being scrapped but respected council's decision as "emotions in the community were still running high." "I can see the reason why the mayor wanted to give it some space," she said. Cr Crestani, who spearheaded the steps project three years ago, said she believed the community "would have acted peacefully" at the launch on 20 July. "Possibly they (council) may have thought there had been a concern but I'm only assuming," she said. Casey manager of governance Holly De Kretser said the event was postponed due to the "heightened emotions" following the council's decision to approve plans for a mosque."We felt this would detract from the celebration of this project," she said. Cr Crestani said the steps, based at Bayview Park, had "resonated with the community". "Already people are saying they regularly take the steps for their exercise and they don't want to travel further afield," she said. "This has regional impact which is I think is exciting." The track has transformed a disused tip into a $1 million tourist attraction with sweeping views of Port Phillip and Western Port bay. While a new official opening date has not

Southside’s flying start By Nick Creely A new-look WNBL team is set to take over from the Dandenong Rangers for the upcoming season, with the ‘Southside Flyers’ announced last Wednesday as the new franchise set to join the expanding competition. The Rangers franchise - which has been synonymous with the south-east region since its inception in 1992 - will be no more, with new owner and long-time supporter of women’s sport in Australia, Gerry Ryan electing to take the team in a new direction. The new Southside name will aim to reflect on the commitment made by Ryan to create a team with the support of beachside suburbs of Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula through to Dandenong, Gippsland and beyond. “The Southside Flyers is a fresh start for the team with fresh faces, fresh plans and a completely new look for basketball and women’s sport," Ryan said. "The Australian women’s basketball team is ranked number three in the world and we want to build a culture and profile for this team and the sport that reflects this world standing. “Being a competitive team that is sustainable at the elite level is just a start. "The Southside Flyers will be about creating mentors and role models, a team that is involved with the wider community, a team that inspires females to be involved in sport.” The Rangers - one of the most successful domestic women’s basketball teams in Australia - will embark on this new era, while still respecting the history of the former WNBL side, with the team still set to play its home games at Dandenong Stadium. “Our vision is to significantly broaden the support for the new team and to get the whole basketball community involved. The name Southside Flyers reflects this vision,” Ryan said. The inaugural head coach of the Southside Flyers will be Cheryl Chambers, one of the most successful and respected coaches in Australian basketball.

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

The Dandenong Rangers franchise is no more after the recent announcement from Gerry Ryan. 187113 Chambers is a three-time WNBL Coach of the Year and an assistant coach of Australia’s women's national team, the Australian Opals. “This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new basketball team, to develop a successful squad from the ground up and to work with Gerry Ryan," she said. "This will be more than a successful basketball team, this will be about the community and women’s sport. The Flyers have also announced that Australian and WNBL star Jenna O’Hea has already committed to the team, with the dual-WNBL

championship player a huge signing ahead of the season. Chambers is currently in the United States with the Opals at a training camp but has already been busy developing an exciting squad for the Flyers’ inaugural season. The playing roster will be announced when Chambers returns from the Australian Opals training camp later this week and the new uniform, with the key colours being aqua and navy, will be unveiled at an official function later this month.

Stingrays set to test themselves at AFL draft combine By Tyler Lewis The pointy-end of the NAB League season is fast-approaching, which means the top draft prospects' athleticism and skills are soon set to be put to the test in front of AFL recruiters. And Dandenong Stingrays Ned Cahill, Sam De Koning, Cody Weightman, Lachlan Williams and Hayden Young are among those selected to take part in the AFL Draft Combine from Vic Country. From the 21 players invited to the combine from Vic Country, five are from the Dandenong Stingrays. The tests that the players are put through include: the standing vertical jump, running vertical jump, agility test, 6x30-metre sprint,

20-metre yo-yo run test, two-kilometre time trial, kicking efficiency test, and goal-kicking test. De Koning no doubt looms as a favourite for the vertical jump tests, while Young, Cahill and Williams will all feature strongly in the kicking tests. Beaconsfield and Dandenong livewire Weightman will be looking to continue his form in front of goal from the Under-18 Nationals in the goal-kicking test, as will Williams who has hit the scoreboard more recently. Williams looms as a bolter in the draft if he can impress in the testing, while Young is one AFL clubs will look to debut as early as possible if he demonstrates a good enough tank to run

out games. The nation already knows about that left foot of his. As well as proving potent in the kicking tests, both Weightman and Cahill will be competitive challengers in the agility and sprint testing. The combine often brings out the positives and negatives of a young prospect's body when approaching the draft - the time trial and kicking efficiency drill are often the headline of importance to hint how much extra training a club will have to put into a youngster post-draft. With Marvel Stadium playing host to a UFC event in the usual time slot for the combine, the AFL is on the hunt for a venue to host the crucial tests.

Oakes’ toughness shines By Tyler Lewis Despite going down 12.11 (83) to 8.9 (57) to South Croydon, it was still a remarkable day for Noble Park in the Eastern Football League's Premier Division on Saturday. Nathan Oakes - who was named best on ground for the Bulls - was meant to be in the stands for another four weeks with a meniscus injury, but four weeks was enough for the young Bull as he returned as if he hadn't missed a minute. Frankston Dolphins-listed forward Ali Zijai also kicked two majors in his side's loss. Rowville, meanwhile, finds itself clinging on to a spot in the top four after the Hawks went down 11.21 (87) to 5.5 (35) to the ladderleading Vermont. Anthony Brolic was a powerful force for

the Hawks but he wasn't enough to stop the rampant Eagles, who gear up yet again for premiership contention. In Division 2 of the Southern Football League, the Doveton Eagles were unable to secure third spot in their crucial clash against Murrumbeena, going down 9.12 (66) to 14.13 (97). The Lions' elite accuracy in the opening term allowed them to run away with the victory, and both sides shared seven scoring shots in the first stanza but the Lions were able to convert all their shots to take a 20-point buffer into quarter-time. Simon Clarke continued his good form for the Eagles, being named best afield, while stablemate Jye Sigersma (three goals) kicked his 19th major from just six games in 2019. And Keysborough put away Chelsea

Heights with ease as they ran away 13.14 (92) to 6.6 (42) victors. In Division 3, Hampton Park demonstrated why it's the team to beat - edging out the third placed Clayton on Saturday, 12.14 (86) to 11.14 (80). A six-goal third term put the Redbacks back in it as they surged out to a remarkable fourwin gap from the second-placed Endeavour Hills. Endeavour Hills, meanwhile, coasted to victory against Cerberus, 15.29 (119) to 2.6 (18). Although not requiring the percentage boost, the Hills had the opportunity to demolish Cerberus even further but were extremely inaccurate in front of goal - kicking 4.13 (37) in the opening term to just two behinds. And in Division 4, Hallam punished Lyndale

in a stupendous 27.14 (176) to 3.1 (19) victory. Hallam - which sits percentage ahead of Moorabbin - piled on nine goals to none in the premiership term and didn't stop there with another seven in the final quarter. Max Little was among the best for the Pumas in the monumental loss. In other matches, Lyndhurst put Moorabbin to the sword in its 20.9 (129) to 3.6 (24) win. Jarryd McGrath was dominant with six majors in a best afield performance while Matt Johansson was the best for the Roos. Carrum-Patterson Lakes had a field day against Dandenong, running riot with a 17.23 (125) to 5.4 (34) win. With a six-goal to none opening term, the game was finished at the first interval. Aaron Wilson kicked another handful to go with his 48 this season.

Frustration sets in for the Stingrays By Tyler Lewis

breaking day for Dandenong.

It is a frustrating period for the Dandenong Stingrays after they suffered yet another loss on the weekend. But they seem to be playing strong football and developing on all counts except the ladder. The Stingrays were edged out late in the match, 5.16 (46) to 6.5 (41), to the pole-positioned Eastern Ranges. After kicking five behinds in the opening term, the Stingrays turned it on and didn't miss the big sticks for the remaining three quarters. When Ned Cahill wheeled around onto his right foot and put Dandenong in front midway through the second term, the signs of improvement were starting to be converted on to the scoreboard. Will Howe snuck out the back of the crashing pack and snapped truly to extend the margin in the third term. But that crashing pack typified a heart-

Last to get up from the pack was top prospect Sam De Koning, who was grasping at his left ankle and forced everyone in the crowd to grit their teeth, hoping only a twist for the youngster who was invited to the National Combine during the week. Despite brilliance from Cahill and Hayden Young in the final term, the Ranges showed why they are sitting on top of the competition - sneaking home with an important victory so close to September.

Hayden Young's Dandenong Stingrays side is still playing strong football, despite its run of losses. 195934 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS dandenong.starcommunity.com.au
