■ Help was at hand when disaster struck...

Road to new life

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

Josh Evans and his mum Leanne. 148297 No one should have to go through what Josh has, and the 18-year-old is open about how tough the last year has been on him, his girlfriend and his family.

The financial strain is also telling, with the cost of medical treatment and even little things like catching a taxi to and from school every day.

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS But he credits his loved ones with giving him the strength he needs, and Josh is resolute that he won’t let his injury hold him back from finishing school, and going on to study at university.

“This year I was meant to play footy, so I still watch my mates, I wish I could get out there and play with them, so that makes it hard.” he said.

“But I’ve got a lot more feeling back than I

should have, I shouldn’t be able to move my arms at all.

“I just want to get back and keep doing what I love.”

IT TOOK just a split second for tragedy to strike.

Often that’s all it takes.

Teenager Josh Evans was riding his mountain bike along a quad track in Healesville just over a year ago, on 27 November 2014, when he went over a jump too quickly.

The 18-year-old from Narre Warren North was thrown over his handle bars and broke his neck.

He was left a quadriplegic and bound to a wheelchair.

On the eve of beginning his VCE year at Gleneagles Secondary College in Endeavour Hills, Josh’s life changed forever.

At the time of the accident Josh said he felt like he was only on the ground for five minutes, but he later learned he’d been there for roughly two hours as emergency services were called in and the teenager was airlifted off the track and rushed to hospital.

It was his home for the next six months.

“I couldn’t move anything, I had tubes down my throat to help me breath, feeding tubes,” Josh said.

“Now I can move my arms but can’t move my wrist or fingers... there’s nothing in my legs.”

Since the accident Josh has undergone intensive physiotherapy under the guidance of local physiotherapist Tri Ngo. Josh said he owes a lot to Tri who often visits him at home and has helped the teenager gradually assimilate into his new life.

It’s the reason why Josh has thrown his support behind the I Love My Physio campaign, co-ordinated by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), which aims to raise awareness about the role physiotherapists play in improving the lives of Australians.

“He’s an inspiration to me,” Josh said of Tri.

Plan ahead to beat the heat this summer As temperatures continue to climb, the City of Casey is urging residents to plan ahead and take a number of steps to beat the heat this summer.

Heatwaves and extreme heat days are becoming a regular feature of the Victorian summer and it is important residents take them seriously to ensure they stay healthy when the heat hits.

Council urges residents to adhere to the following tips: Âť Never leave children or pets in cars: Hot cars can kill. The temperature inside a parked car can double within minutes, putting pets and children at risk of serious heat-related illnesses and possibly death. Âť Stay cool indoors: Keep air circulating around you and use air conditioning and fans if possible.

Take a cool shower if you feel hot. If it’s too hot at your place consider visiting an air-conditioned, indoor public place.  Take care of yourself: Drink plenty of water and take a bottle with you when you’re out and about.

If you must be outdoors, remember to protect yourself from the sun by sticking to the shade, covering exposed skin with lightweight clothes and wearing sunscreen and a hat. Take it easy and avoid too much physical activity on a hot day. Âť Watch out for others: Check on family, friends and neighbours most at risk, particularly those who are older, sick or frail, to make sure they are okay.

Trade fixer refused bail

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A NARRE Warren South man stands accused of being a conduit between juvenile car thieves in Melbourne’s south-east and an outlaw motorcycle gang.

Ahmed Farhad Lodin, 30, was refused bail on 7 December after a court heard he had assisted in the sale of high-end vehicles stolen by Apex and Young Crucified Warriors (YCW) street gangs this year.

Lodin had admitted to arranging the exchange of stolen vehicles for cash and methamphetamine, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told.

Detective Senior Constable Mick Harris of Casey CIU told the court it was believed the young offenders were introduced to buyers from the Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang.

“We have concerns with these young offenders, some who have committed violent armed robberies, being out there high on meth.

“We have worked incredibly hard to get these youths in custody.

“It’s an ongoing investigation that we’re working very hard - for the sake of the community - to get on top of.”

The court was told that Lodin was arrested at his home on 11 November and taken to Dandenong Hospital due to wounds allegedly inflicted by Hells Angels OMCG members over a drug debt.

According to a police summary, Lodin was suffering stab and burn injuries to his legs and had a cut to the bridge of his nose.

He had also been badly beaten during a previous stint in prison, losing the sight in his left eye, the court was told.

Lodin also had close links to three “main targets” and “dangerous offenders” within the Apex and YCW gangs, the court was told.

The gangs’ alleged crimes included armed robberies, car jackings, driving stolen vehicles at high speed as well as a culpable driving charge levelled at a 15-yearold boy.

“These people he’s associating with pose extreme danger to himself and his family,” Sen Const Harris said.

“I can’t express how grave my concerns are.”

Lodin faced charges of theft of a boat, a Navarra ute and petrol from Seaford, aggravated burglary and car theft from a Langwarrin home on 21 July, and steal-

ing a $40,000 Audi from a Malvern East home on 19 October.

The Langwarrin victim identified Lodin as one of three male burglars who she found in her garage.

The terrified victim ran from the intruders and later found that two motorbikes, power tools and motorbike equipment to the value of nearly $5000 had been taken.

Lodin was also seen travelling in the stolen Audi in November, the court was told.

The car was later allegedly found during a police search warrant at his home, along with an Audi car key, Audi documents, a Winchester Hornet .22 firearm with 18 rounds, an imitation handgun, shotgun shells, orange-tip ammunition and disassembled pen pistols in Glad bags.

Police also allegedly seized items and substances used to make drugs, more than a dozen number plates, $1950 cash, mobile phones, drivers licences under different names, six bags of “white crystal substance”, and a BMW tin and documents.

At the time, Lodin had admitted to being a frequent ice user, Sen

Const Harris said.

Defence lawyer Chris Edwards said Lodin had been assessed as suitable for CREDIT bail and would be in danger from inmates if he remained in custody.

A $2000 surety was offered by one of Lodin’s relatives.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Lodin failed to show cause for bail because he was an unacceptable risk of reoffending and endangering the public, despite his family’s support.

He noted Lodin was sitting on a 199day suspended jail term and had “significant” prior convictions for dangerous driving, threats to kill, assault, affray, armed robbery and driving while suspended and disqualified.

In recent months, the applicant had failed to appear at court for ice trafficking, being a prohibited person possessing a firearm, assaulting a Sheriff’s officer, reckless conduct endangering serious injury and driving at dangerous speeds.

Mr Vandersteen said: “The risks you pose cannot be alleviated by any conditions of bail.”

Shared beliefs join together in spirit of Christmas liams said she was impressed how someone so young could be so kind.

“We all said in the office that when we were 21, we didn’t have that sort of thought process. It’s really great to meet something like her.”

Ms Williams said most of her clients were Muslim but they wanted to take part in the traditionally Christian celebration.

“They really want to be part of Australian culture. Not one has said they don’t want to come to the party.”

She and her family embody the harmonious mixing of religions. Ms Williams as a Turkish-born Muslim, her husband is an English-born son of a Protestant priest, and her two children requested to be inducted Catholics.

“Religion shouldn’t be a separation.

If anything, it should bring people together.”

Eschewing a 21st birthday party and gifts, the Endeavour Hills biotechnology student has requested donations to the ASRC’s festive celebration at its Dandenong office.

Ms Ranatunga is ensuring it will be quite a party for up to 100 asylum seeker families, volunteers and staff.

She’s helped organise a gumball machine, a photo booth, fun Santa hats and moustaches, and hampers and gifts for volunteers and more than 50 asylum seeker children.

In the meantime, local eatery Ginger Jones is cooking the halal turkey and halal lamb, and individuals are dropping off toys to the Lonsdale Street office.

“I’m touched there are so many generous people helping on this,” Ms Ranatunga said. “It wouldn’t feel right to have a 21st when I could do this.”

WHAT’S IN A NAME DELVES INTO THE FASCINATING STORIES AND PERSONALITIES BEHIND SOME OF THE CITY’S BEST-KNOWN STREET NAMES. THIS WEEK THE JOURNAL LOOKS AT CENTRAL DANDENONG’S CRUMP LANE, NAMED AFTER THE CRUMP GENERAL STORE.

Crump’s was always the store with more JOHN Crump opened the Crump General Store in 1904 and sold everything from groceries, crockery, linen and hardware to stock feed and farm supplies.

Although the prominent Dandenong business’s store front was in Lonsdale Street, the lane was a bustling hub of activity where goods were loaded and unloaded at the rear of the store. Customers would come up the laneway and park their horse and buggy in stables.

The lane accommodated many businesses, including one of the early coach-building businesses and the mortuary of J.W. Garnar’s undertakers.

Crump’s delivered grocery orders around the district via a horse-drawn lorry and when customers unpacked their box there would always be a free

WHAT’S IN A NAME? paper cornet filled with boiled lollies.

Right on the corner of Walker and Langhorne streets was the slip rail to the farrier’s shop and forge, and in the other end of the Langhorne Street frontage was the blacksmith’s forge and wheelwright’s shop. Young children could be seen standing at the slip rail to watch in fascination as the farrier forged the shoes and shod the horses.

Crump’s prided itself on being the ‘popular store’ with exceptional quality of goods. After John Crump’s death, his son Albert Crump operated the store with the help of wife Hazel.

In those days there was no cash register and no refrigeration - butter and other perishables were stored in a cellar.

A large billboard once adorned the wall at the entrance to Crump Lane - it advertised films at the local Boomerang Theatre and notified people of events taking place at the Dandenong Town Hall opposite.

The site occupied by the Crump General Store later became the McEwans hardware store.

“I have to advise you that the late Corporal D Roberts No 506 8th Australian Light Horse Regiment who died at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, Hampshire, on 28th September 1915, from enteric fever, was interred in the cemetery attached to the hospital on the 30th September 1915.

“A gun carriage was provided and the coffin was enshrouded in the Union Jack.

“A party of the Royal Army Medical Corps acted as pall-bearers and mourners.

“These further details are furnished by direction, it being the policy of the department to supply all additional particulars received.”

A younger son, Private T E Roberts who served with the 14th battalion infantry, is in hospital.

Both these local volunteers were 19 weeks in the trenches and then fell victims to enteric fever.

Threats to kill carers

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN who threatened to kill seven people including his carers, a hospital CAT team staff member and an off-duty nurse has few options for accommodation outside, a court has heard.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told on 7 December that several housing services and drug rehab centres refused to house 24-year-old Dale Pitman.

His defence lawyer Michelle Nguyen told the court Pitman, who had complex mental health and drug issues and a mild intellectual disability, had “burnt his bridges”.

Pitman had a difficult time in prison and accommodation with his family wasn’t an option, Ms Nguyen said.

In April, Pitman held a 10-centimetre knife as he told staff at his Eumemmerring residential care facility he would kill them unless they gave him money.

A staff member pushed Pitman away using a vacuum-cleaner pole, causing the accused to drop his weapon.

Pitman repeated his deadly threats as he

punched a staff member to the side of the head and body.

At Dandenong Hospital’s emergency department in August, Pitman became verbally abusive after being cleared of mental health issues.

He told a staff member that “I’m going to f***ing hunt you down and kill you. I mean it”.

The victim since took out an intervention order against Pitman.

He stood over a off-duty nurse at an inner-city 7-11 store after she refused to treat his injured hand in September.

Such was his aggressive manner, the nurse and the store’s attendant locked themselves behind the front counter, police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Tracey Arnold told the court.

“If you don’t help me, I’ll kill you,” the accused said - then took a banana from the front counter, ate it and left the store.

During two tirades last year at his res-care facility, he repeatedly threatened to slit a staff member’s throat and “neck” a replacement carer, then kicked an office security door as staff locked themselves inside.

The accused, who has a mild intellectual dis-

ability, told police: “Whatever I said I didn’t mean it. It was said only in anger to express my feelings”.

Ms Nguyen told the court Pitman “struggles to hear about what he has done”.

“He describes his behaviour as really appalling.”

Pitman told the court he wanted the opportunity to go to drug rehab.

“I was looking forward to having a crack and getting out there into life.

“Maybe I needed this kick up the a*** - sorry for swearing. I made some stupid, f***ing mistakes.”

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen mused what to do with the accused and how to protect the community.

“When you get upset, you have got to learn to walk away.”

If Pitman was granted CREDIT bail, he’d be staying in Prince of Mark Motel, he said. “And that’s not going to happen.”

Pitman was sentenced to 12 months in jail with a 90-day non-parole period - including 77 days already served in custody.

Hackers ty to steal teacher’s private data

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A TEACHER from Endeavour Hills is warning other teachers and the community to be wary after falling victim to a computer hacking scam.

Lyn Pentland was using her work computer - which was virus protected - last week when a pop-up alert told her the laptop had a Trojan virus and asked her to ring a 1800 number.

When she rang the number the man on the other line, who appeared to want to help her, was able to gain access inside her laptop where she

had banking and personal details stored.

No money was stolen from the account but the ordeal has left Ms Pentland shaken after assuming the man was legitimate, and only realising towards the end of the phone conversation that the whole thing was likely a scam.

“It’s such a violation,” Ms Pentland told Star News.

“Someone has entered your private world and you have no idea what they’ll do with the documentation stored there.”

Ms Pentland has since informed her school and the police about the hacking attempt and is now warning other teachers to be careful.

“They target innocent people just operating their day to day life,” she said.

“For my identity they could have anything they ever need, the whole works, birth dates, signatures ...”

Ms Pentland warned the community that even though a computer is virus-checked and seemingly protected, to not assume it was impenetrable.

Ms Pentland also sang the praises of the Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network (ACORN), a Federal Government cybercrime team which is currently investigating the teacher’s case.

ACORN is a national policing initiative of the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments.

It is an online system that allows the public to securely report instances of cybercrime, and also provides advices to help people recognise and avoid common types of cybercrime.

Priest was a 'timebomb'

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1210832-KK51-15

IT COMES as a surprise to former Journal reporter Phil McLeod that his breaking story on the scandalised Holy Family parish priest Father Searson nearly had immediate effect 29 years ago.

On 27 October 1986, Mr McLeod broke the news that Doveton’s Holy Family parishioners and parents at a rare public meeting demanded Father Peter Searson leave his post.

What few knew was that a week after the Journal’s report, Fr Searson had requested to be transferred from the Doveton parish.

In the Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse, minutes from an archbishop’s personnel advisory board meeting on 5 November recorded Fr Searson’s request.

However, then Archbishop Frank Little declined the transfer because he deemed there was no suitable parish for Fr Searson to go to.

“Really? I’d never heard that before,” Mr McLeod said, speaking to the Journal nearly 30 years after his first story.

“At the time, the school and the parish were split 50:50. Half of them couldn’t believe he’d do anything wrong. They said he was a beautiful man - but it was just blind faith.

“Priests were untouchable so

How the Father Searson scandal broke exclusively in the Journal in October 1986. it was a big move.”

In Mr McLeod’s first report, Fr Searson told him he refused to resign, declaring there was “no truth or substance” to the undescribed allegations.

Mr McLeod recalls a palpable fear that the Catholic Church or Fr Searson could sue the paper.

He had heard gossip at the time about the priest’s offending but it wasn’t detailed in his initial report and his byline was absent.

An unnamed teacher reportedly told Mr McLeod that Fr Searson was “a timebomb ready to go off especially after the principal resigned without warning”.

The teacher described

the parish school’s principal Graeme Sleeman as a “buffer for everyone”.

At the Royal Commission, it became clear how hard Mr Sleeman lobbied for his boss Fr Searson’s removal to senior clergy and the Catholic Education Office.

At one stage, he gave the ultimatum to Archbishop Little that the parish priest had to go or he would.

In the end, it was Mr Sleeman who made way.

Regional bishop at the time, Fr Hilton Deakin, told the Journal at the time: “Any talk of resignation is a decision which is in Fr Searson’s hands.”

Now a Bishop Emeritus, Fr Hilton Deakin, told the Royal Commission he was sorry for any action or neglect that contributed to the “hurt”.

He told of being phoned

by Archbishop Little to go to the public meeting at Doveton about “serious” complaints.

“I was green, I hadn’t done any of this sort of work before ever, but I do remember talks about Searson.

“Not about his sexuality but that he was - what’s the word psychotic.”

Mr McLeod said that some of the now-apologetic clergy’s sentiments to the Royal Commission were too little, too late.

“They should have done something 30 years ago.”

Stepping up to the task

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD ARTICLES written about Jenny Davis refer to her as a Doveton matriarch.

There may be no more apt a description for the 61-year-old grandmother who has resided in the suburb for 30 years.

Jenny, an influential figurehead at the Doveton Eagles footy club, can’t speak highly enough of Doveton and its community.

And in a year where Doveton has again copped its share of bad publicity, the suburb now, more than ever, needs a spokesperson to advocate and defend it.

That person is Jenny.

She made sure her voice was heard at the Doveton community forum, convened in September by Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams, where the suburb’s future was the main topic of conversation.

The meeting was held after Doveton was listed in July as one of the state’s seven most disadvantaged postcodes in the Dropping off the Edge 2015 report, compiled by Jesuit Social Services and Catholic Social Services Australia.

Then a few weeks later Doveton was also found to be part of just 6 per cent of Victorian postcodes which make up half of the state’s 6506 prison population, according to the Ombudsman’s latest report.

But those reports don’t quote people like Jenny, who speaks of the goodwill of the Doveton community until she’s blue in the face.

When she moved to the area she was a single mum, raising her two now-adult children, Kelly and Paul, after being forced to move because she could no longer afford the rent at her Keysborough home.

She said it’s the best decision she ever made.

“I’ve never looked back, it’s a brilliant area - I love Doveton,” Jenny said.

They’re terrific people.

“They’ll be the first ones on your doorstep.”

At a time when the decline of Doveton’s manufacturing sector has been well documented,

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

good news stories about the suburb are hard to find.

But there’s certainly one to be discovered at the Doveton Eagles Football Club where Jenny has been president for the past three years and which has experienced its fair share of hardship.

The club came back from the brink to win the Southern Football League division 3 grand final in 2013, after it was banished from the league for a series of ugly on and off-field incidents.

Then this year tragedy struck the club when talented 16-year-old player Axl Abson died suddenly from a burst appendix on 6 June.

Axl’s dad had passed away from cancer just over 12 months earlier.

“He was a good kid, a really nice kid,” Jenny said.

“He loved his music, loved his dad.”

Jenny is the godmother at the Eagles, where her son was an influential coach and premiership player, and she’s known for getting things done.

Following Axl’s passing she successfully urged the league to enlist counsellors to help her Doveton players and beyond the footy club she’s been holding talks with Gabrielle Williams to see how she can help with other parts of the community, such as public housing availability.

“I’m a hands-on person. I’m not a business person, I’m a people person,” she said.

“I draw strength from people, and I get some wisdom off some people.

“I listen, I listen to what they say and take it on board.”

Voices of confidence

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH SOME of Doveton College’s most recent graduates are on their way to a very happy new year after completing a course in English language.

Brace Education and Training teacher Nivas Nivandhana taught the nine-month English course at Doveton College this year and was delighted to see her students graduate with new life skills.

“They can now feel confident answering the phone, making an appointment, asking for a price at the shops and communicating with their child’s school - this course is a very good thing," she said.

“It gives them confidence to live in Australia, the course is life changing for the women."

Seven women will graduate with a certificate I and II in English language on Thursday 17 December in front of their Doveton College peers, which for many will be their own children.

“They were taught how to write, read and speak as well computer skills and numeracy,” Ms Nivandhana said.

“It’s great for the entire community and for their children as well who got dropped off by their mum at the classroom door.”

Ms Nivandhana said she was most excited to listen to one of her Afghanistan students make a speech at the graduation ceremony.

“She isn’t fluent but she can communicate in English which is something she hasn’t been able to do for the past eight years she

Summer outdoor movies CASEY Council is encouraging residents to pack a picnic and head along to the picturesque Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick to enjoy a movie under the stars this summer.

This City of Casey has kicked of its Sunset Cinema Series, which will see a family flick played on the big screen each Friday night in the open-air amphitheatre at the botanical park from now until March.

“This is a wonderful way to kick back in the tranquil surrounds of WBPB with family or friends and enjoy a movie that won’t break the bank,” Casey mayor Sam Aziz said.

“There will be activities and entertainment at the park from 7pm, prior to the movie getting underway at dusk, as well as food and drink vendors on site for event goers to purchase snacks on the night.”

Tickets for the Sunset Cinema Series are available on the night and cost $10 for adults, $5 for children/concession, or $25 for a family (two adults and two children).

Tenant's eyes clawed

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AN EUMEMMERRING man clawed his housemate’s eyes as he accused him of hacking his mobile phone, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard.

Stephen Simpson pleaded guilty to assaulting his then co-tenant of two years as the victim watched TV at their Berwick home late one Sunday night in July.

The victim was then pulled by the hair, placed in a headlock and accused by

Simpson of “trying to destroy my life”.

Simpson then pulled at the victim’s eyes with his fingers until the victim agreed that he did hack the accused’s phone.

The housemate was treated for sore, bruised and blood-shot eyes at Casey Hospital, where he rang police.

Simpson was visited by police and taken to hospital for a psychiatric assessment while an intervention order was created to protect his housemate.

After his arrest two months later, Simpson gave a largely no-comment police interview and denied the incident.

Simpson’s lawyer told the court the accused was in a “good place” since being placed on a community treatment order.

“If he fails to comply with the requirements of the treatment order, he’ll have to deal with the consequences of that.”

Magistrate Julie O’Donnell said a medical report showed the accused had an “incredible lack of insight” and his of-

fending was directly related to his mental illness.

In sentencing, she took into account that Simpson was already on a compulsory order.

“Given the paranoia behind this offending and the lack of engagement with the treatment team, I doubt if he could do a corrections order.”

Simpson was convicted and fined $1500.

Fiddler's performing career hits the roof A BREAKTHROUGH role doesn’t get much better than the fiddler in Fiddler on the Roof.

Pakenham resident Brett Fisher will make his professional musical theatre debut on Melbourne’s Princess Theatre stage alongside Anthony Warlow, Sigrid Thornton and Mark Mitchell on 29 December.

The show will move to Sydney’s Capitol Theatre from 26 March.

“This is the first big musical for me, which is really exciting,” Brett said.

“Playing such a big character was amazing.

“It’s pretty full-on but it’s awesome.”

The 23-year-old was born at Dandenong Hospital and spent the first five years of his life in Doveton before moving to Beaconsfield. He now calls Pakenham home.

It was during his studies at Berwick Secondary College that he discovered his love for performing.

“It has a great performing arts program,” he said.

“I always loved acting at school and I did drama and theatre studies at school.

“It was pretty early when I discovered I really wanted to act, Year 8 or Year 9.

Brett Fisher is making his professional musical theatre debut.

Darren Tyler.

“It was great seeing how things worked and getting into people’s heads.

“One day I decided I wanted to dance.

This was in Year 12.

“I decided to go for it and pursue acting and dancing.”

Meanwhile Hallam resident Darren Tyler found himself making the same pursuit of the stage many years earlier.

Darren is one of the dance captains for Fiddler on the Roof and will also feature in the show, as well as having a “swing” role.

This means Darren has to be prepared to fill in for any of the other ensemble cast members if, for whatever reason, they are unable to perform on show night.

The 39-year-old, who has been dancing since he was just six, has been involved in musical theatre since 1998.

He said it was even more important now than it was back then to be a “triple threat” in the performance industry - that is, being an accomplished singer, dancer and actor.

“There’s a lot of full-time musical theatre courses now, there weren’t so many when I was training,” Darren said.

“Now everyone needs to be strong triple threat.

“You have to do it all to do musical theatre.”

The Fiddler on the Roof is Darren’s 17th show, and he has played a pivotal role in organising its choreography.

“I’ve been lucky,” he said.

Monash works starting TESTING on the Monash Freeway has started ahead of the road being widened in a $400 million upgrade announced last month.

Geotechnical works on the road’s pavement started on Sunday night 6 December and are scheduled to continue into next year.

Surveying is also taking place on and off the shoulder of the road at various locations.

Under a proposal from the Andrews Government the freeway will be widened to five lanes running each way between EastLink and the South Gippsland Highway, and three lanes each way further out to Clyde Road.

The project is expected to go to tender in mid2016, with construction slated to begin in 2017, and expected to be finished the following year.

But testing on the major road is already underway and is expected to continue until late February, stretching from Dandenong North to Berwick.

Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said up to Christmas the testing would be focussed between the EastLink interchange and the South Gippsland Freeway.

He said traffic flow was not expected to be affected.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Walking all over us I DON’T live in Doveton but I pay rates that are unjustly increased annually.

About five weeks ago, I expressed concern regarding the safety and security of shoppers and other pedestrians at Autumn Place, Doveton.

Three retailers daily display a large quantity of their goods on the sidewalk for sale, outside their stores which represents a big obstacle as well as a serious danger to users of this sidewalk.

When I queried the council about the kind of permits that have been issued to those retailers that allow them to cause obstruction on the footpath, I was told that I should apply to Freedom of Information to obtain that information. Shame!

Likewise, when I queried Casey Manager Governance about the current remuneration of Mike Tyler, she referred me to Freedom of Information.

It must be noted, however, that the chief executive officer Mike Tyler has been reappointed for a further four-year term to 2020 with a total remuneration package of $394,000.

Why was the position not advertised to give an opportunity to other qualified people to apply?

Because, according to the Deputy Mayor Mick Morland “Mr Tyler is delivering a visionary plan” just as he said: “Cr, Aziz was a man of great vision.”

For him, Mike Tyler and Sam Aziz seem to be irreplaceable at the top jobs as CEO and mayor respectively.

Cr Aziz was found guilty of misconduct earlier this month by the Municipal Association of Victoria’s councillor conduct panel for refer-

ring to Cr Rafal Kaplon as a ‘parasitic mosquito’.

There’s something wrong in the City of Casey.

And ‘Now is the time’ for some councillors to realise that they are accountable to Casey residents.

Cr Morland served once as Berwick Shire mayor, twice as mayor of Casey, why has he been appointed deputy mayor again?

Cr Smith served as mayor in the past, why has council elected him as deputy mayor again?

Why has council elected two deputy mayors when one is more than enough?

Cr Aziz served as mayor in 2011, why has he been appointed to the position again when Cr Crestani could have been appointed instead?

Like many other Casey residents, I verily believe that the top job should be limited to one term only, except if no other councillor qualifies for the job, which I doubt very much.

The top position should not be monopolised by a few councillors, every ward should be given a fair go.

Like John Glazebrook in the Berwick News of 19 November 2015, I am strongly opposed to the China picnic for councillors and staff, at the expense of ratepayers also to the Bunjil Place project that will cost ratepayers $125 million.

It should be frozen or scrapped because it’s not a priority.

Council is morally bound to spend ratepayers’ money wisely.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… BUSINESSES have raised $760 for Christmas presents for those who’d otherwise go without.

Donations made at the annual SEBN Christmas breakfast on 3 December went to the Christmas Cheer Appeal run by Dandenong Community Advisory Bureau Division (DCAB), Dandenong Benevolent Society and the Doveton Salvation Army.

The groups bought 21 gifts for children aged two to 11 years, plus 15 bath towels and $25 Coles Myer gift cards for older children.

SUPPORTING a child’s education is one of the greatest gifts to give this Christmas, says Dandenong Evening VIEW Club’s Brigitte Billimoria.

She urged people to donate to The Smith Family’s Christmas Appeal at www.thesmithfamily.com.au to support disadvantaged children with their education.

VIEW stands for the Voice, Interests and Education of Women and the Dandenong Evening group welcomes new members. Phone 9795 1222 for more information.

FILMMAKER Richard Moore will judge the inaugural Greater Dandenong Shot Cuts Film Festival.

He’s played key roles at the Melbourne International

Film Festival (MIFF), Brisbane International Film Festival, Palace Films and Melbourne Arts Festival.

Entries are open until 12 February in three categories: emerging, community or student, and open.

There’ll be prizes for each category winner plus a $2000 Mayoral Prize.

Visit www.greaterdandenong.com for a submission form.

ANY doubts that policing is a dangerous job?

A wildly behaving man was deemed too unsafe to bring into the courtroom from the Dandenong police cells on 7 December.

Police officers were keen to avoid his attempts to spit on them, especially since he was diagnosed as HIV. CONGRATS to Dandenong's Ramalingam Wickiramasingham who took home a Multicultural Award of Excellence this month. Among 20 years working in the Tamil community, he created a booklet of services for refugees and humanitarian migrants in Melbourne's south east. He was one of 75 Victorians to receive an award from Victorian Multicultural Commission chairwoman Helen Kapalos.

Dandenong police, said there was a trend across metropolitan Melbourne of this type of crime.

Over the past month, up to 15 young people had been charged in Greater Dandenong, Casey and Frankston, he said.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or make a confidential report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

He said the rate of car thefts had fallen from roughly three a day to now one a week.

“This is our one a week,” he said of the Doveton theft.

Last week, Star News reported how police have arrested several young members of a so-called ‘Apex Gang’, who have broken into homes to steal car keys and vehicles in Melbourne’s south-east in recent weeks.

But Det Sen Sgt Moroney said the crime spate extended wider than just the Apex Gang members, who were typically aged between 15-25.

ANOTHER car has been stolen in Casey after thieves broke into a Doveton house and took the keys.

The silver CX7 Mazda was stolen from outside the Rebecca Street home about 2.25am on Saturday 5 December after the thieves broke in through a rear sliding door and stole the car keys from the kitchen while the occupants were sleeping.

The victims awoke as the car sped off, allegedly doing a burn out in the process.

The theft comes despite Detective Senior Sergeant Rodney Moroney, of Casey CIU, telling Star News last week that locking up eight or nine “main of-

NEW HOMES & LAND

MOSAIC WINS AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE It was a big week for Burbank with Mosaic apartments taking out the top prize in the Urban Renewal category at the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) awards recently.

Held at Crown Palladium in Melbourne, the UDIA awards recognise excellence in building and innovation in the creation of sustainable residential communities in Victoria.

Perfectly positioned in Dandenong’s award-winning Metro Village 3175, Mosaic apartments certainly have innovation covered.

Designed by Burbank, in conjunction with acclaimed architects Peddle Thorp, Mosaic is comprised of 235 one and two-bedroom apartments built around a central landscaped courtyard as well as three retail and three office spaces which are easily accessible on the ground floor.

These modern apartments come complete with a range of premium features including quality tiles and carpets, reconstituted stone benchtops, stainless steel European style appliances and split system air conditioning.

Residents are spoilt for choice with the Dandenong Market, retail precinct and iconic Drum Theatre all just a stone’s throw away while easy access to the freeway and public transport network is the icing on the cake at this masterplanned, modern complex.

Burbank Homes managing director Jarrod Sanfilippo accepted the award on behalf of the Burbank team, who were thrilled to take out the top prize.

“Mosaic is a state-of-the-art development that’s very different to anything ever seen before in the Dandenong area.

“We’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response from the residents, investors and the local community, and it’s great to

now be recognised by the UDIA and our industry peers,” Jarrod said.

“Mosaic has proven particularly popular with investors, as well as first home buyers, students and families looking to downsize,” he added.

“The communal courtyards and shared recreation spaces are a real point of difference and the quality of the finishes add a premium touch to the apartments.”

Mosaic apartments have sold quickly since being released to the market, however there are still a few of these award-winning apartments available for sale and ready for occupancy.

NEW HOMES & LAND

BRIDGE IS A ROAD TO THE FUTURE The thriving town of Officer continues to welcome new developments and opportunities for buyers and investors, recently bolstered by the launch of Bridge Road from JG King.

This selection of two, three and four bedroom townhouses have contemporary facades, stunning colour palettes and impressive fixtures and fittings.

Using the unique steel frame structure that made this leading home builder’s reputation, these homes come with an all-important fixed price guarantee, making a big difference to those buying on a budget.

“Every Bridge Road home comes with everything you need, so they’re perfect for first home buyers,” said General Manager

of Projects and Developments John King.

“They’re great value for money and make crossing over from renting to buying easier.”

From this new neighbourhood, Princes Freeway is just one minute’s drive and Officer railway station is a 20 minute walk.

Officer town centre’s increasing amenities are already attracting businesses from the

region and there is plenty of growth ahead.

Mr King said the family-owned business always prides itself on the communities they build, with streetscapes people love to come home to.

MEET AND GREET The first residents of the Highgrove community recently attended a ’meet your neighbour’ event at the growing Clyde North estate.

Residents were met with a coffee cart and morning tea as they introduced themselves to their fellow neighbours and discussed they’re plans for their new homes, as well as how much the community has grown since they first purchased.

Some of the residents even proposed a street party once they all moved in to bring the community closer together.

Anyone interested in joining the Highgrove community can visit www.highgrove.com. au or phone the sales and information centre on 1800 444 447.

Word is out

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CHILDREN from a Serbian playgroup in Hallam will be among the first kids to be given a new book which teaches the Serbian alphabet.

Mum Irena Chia, who came to Australia from Serbia when she was just seven, wrote the book after struggling to teach her young daughter the basics of the Serbian language.

She will now be donating copies of her book, titled Fun With Serbian Letters, to Hallam Gardens Children’s Centre later this month which runs a Serbian playgroup. “I wrote this book because I found there was much need for it in Australia. “When my daughter was old enough to start learning the Serbian alphabet I struggled with finding reading material that would be easy to follow and at the same time stimulating,�

Irena said. “This book not only teaches the youngsters that are born and raised here our alphabet but simultaneously our culture.�

Fun With Serbian Letters is

One of the pages from the book Fun With Serbian Letters. an alphabetical exploration of all things Serbian - the places, the people, and the traditions.

In the book, printed by Amazon, each letter has a Serbian twist, with both alphabets included, while each page also has an English translation. In addition there are short poems which have been translated into English as well. “Like many of us that have left our motherland, with each passing year I find myself yearning for those sweet albeit long-gone moments when I sat in my grandparent’s lap and listened to age-old stories about Serbia’s rich history,� Irena said.

“How I wish I had asked them more. “Having children of my own now, I appreciate the importance of passing on our spiritual wealth and traditional ways to the new generation often born and brought up in a foreign land.�

Irena will be donating copies of Fun With Serbian Letters to each child in the Hallam playgroup in the lead-up to Christmas. “A purpose I had in mind when writing the alphabet book is to remind ourselves, especially our young ones, the sheer joy of our language,� she said. “I could see my parents reading this to my kids whilst relating their own personal stories along the way.�

The Serbian playgroup at the Hallam Gardens Children’s Centre is for kids aged up to five.

They listen to Serbian stories, rhymes, and participate in other fun activities.

For more information on Irena’s book, visit www.funwithserbianletters.com.

Bin fire prompts fire warning A DANDENONG arson attack has prompted a fire season warning from police.

Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said witnesses from nearby smelt burning plastic just after midnight on Tuesday 8 December.

They called the CFA, and

fire crews extinguished a bin fire outside 157 Lonsdale Street. Firefighters deemed the cause suspicious, and police are investigating.

Det Sgt Kirton said the incident was a timely reminder that the high fire danger period was starting, and that residential, business and open areas could

all come under threat.

He urged anyone who observed anything suspicious in relation to fires to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. “Community engagement is a large part of arson prevention and the community needs to work with police to reduce the risk of arson,� he said.

Singers reach a high note A PARADE of world-class voices will take to the stage in Harmony Square during the 67th annual Dandenong Carols by Candlelight on Friday night, 18 December.

MC Justin Peters is a classically trained tenor who regularly sings at weddings and churches across Victoria.

He is a regular at Carols by Candlelight and has also performed many times at Dandenong’s Australia Day festivities, the mayoral ball and during Seniors’ Week.

Justin is excited to once again be the MC for this year’s carols and will share the hosting duties with The Workers.

Classically trained Celtic soprano Emma Kate Tobia, who moved to Melbourne from Ireland, melds her pure lyrical voice with the timeless melodies of her Irish heritage.

She is a multiple award-winning artist whose career includes three years touring the USA with her show An Irish Dream.

She has featured on NBC-New York and performed for thousands of people outside the New York Stock Exchange

and at the 250th St Patrick’s Day Parade Gala Ball alongside the Chieftains, The High Kings and Michael Flatley of Lord of the Dance and Riverdance.

With One Voice Greater Dandenong, led by the extraordinary Nicki Johnson, is one of Creativity Australia’s With One Voice choir programs that brings together people of all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles through song.

Creativity Australia’s With One Voice choirs welcome people aged nine to 90 from all faiths, cultures and backgrounds.

And no Carols by Candlelight in Dandenong would be complete without the City of Greater Dandenong Band.

The 30-strong band is one of the premier brass bands in Melbourne and has been a long-time supporter of the carols.

Claim a spot in Harmony Square, adjacent to the council offices in Lonsdale Street, from 6.30pm.

The event is being staged by the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with gold sponsors Bendigo Bank (Dandenong Branch), Yarraman Village and Nova FM.

The Greater Dandenong Band will perform at Friday’s Carols by Candlelight.

Emily races for Seight and also in the HPV Series (Human Powered Vehicles). Naomi rides Hybrids and MTB and Anika is a BMXer. Tina is a mum as well as a grandparent, although she doesn’t look it, her caring and understanding is obvious.

Come along and see AT Saffron Grove our residents’ wellbeing is the top priority.

Staff believe that many people move into a retirement village to ensure a feeling of safety, together with the desire to have social interaction with others as often as they wish.

Families also want to ensure that their loved one is surrounded by friends and support if anything should happen along with the benefit of having companionship and activities to assist them to remain active, well and happy.

“I must say that the residents in Saffron Grove are the most settled I have ever had the pleasure of working with,” manager Jan Hugget said.

“They are a delightful and contented bunch who allow everyone to settle into the village in their own way.

“They offer assistance and opportunities to join in but are very respectful that everyone needs to do what is right for them.

“Our social committee is responsive to residents’ needs and is happy to incorporate new ideas.

“So, for example, if you are a painter and wish to start a painting class - so be it,” she said.

“If other residents want to partake, then painting is added to the list of what you can do at Saffron Grove. It’s all up to the requirements

Manager Jan Hugget is ready to meet her residents’ needs. of the residents.”

With locked gates at night, a 24 hour emergency call service, beautifully appointed units and social and companionship needs met, what more could anyone want.

Pollies pitch in for one great goal

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD POLITICIANS can be pretty willing when they’re in Parliament House, but get them on the soccer pitch and they become even more competitive.

Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams and State Treasurer Tim Pallas were among the seven MPs who took to the field in a friendship match against players from the Doveton Special Soccer School (DSSS) on Saturday.

Ms Williams and the school’s founder and director Juan Carlos Loyola organised the match, held at Waratah Reserve in Eumemmering, to co-incide with the end of the club’s 2015 program, and to raise awareness of the school’s valuable work.

The game ended in a 10-1

Eddie in action.

thrashing in favour of the DSSS, and was followed by a barbecue and a formal presentation.

The DSSS gives opportunities for intellectually disabled children and adults across Victoria to play soccer, develop their skills and make new friends.

Carlos has run the DSSS for more than 24 years with the help of volunteers, parents and community support.

“The school is a credit to our local community,” Ms Williams said.

“It ensures that people of all abilities have an opportunity to engage in physical activity, and benefit from the social rewards Juan Carlos Loyola with Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams. 147726 of playing team sport.”

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Beating a path to school

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH “WE DECIDED that we needed to address the stigma around panel beating because it’s no longer the ‘barking dog at the door, hat, beer in hand and dirty, dusty’ job people think it is.”

Cranbourne Body Works is taking on the panel beating and spray painting industry one apprentice at a time.

The business has been operating in Cranbourne for 27 years and owners Nicky and Kevin Slattery said they had to make some drastic changes to ensure its longevity.

Cranbourne Body Works along with the entire trade have been struggling to find and keep interested apprentices for more than two years.

“We thought why aren’t the kids coming, where are they, why don’t they want to learn?” Nicky said.

“We’ve always had young school leavers knocking on our door asking for work but that has all stopped.

“And the current tradesmen are an ageing workforce and there’s a skills shortage Australia wide because there are not enough young people coming through.”

Earlier this year Nicky and Kevin decided to hold a staff meeting to discuss where to take their business.

“We spoke about what we needed to do to get the apprentices back and with the region experiencing high unemployment we figured there must be all this talent sitting out there wasted.

“So we’ve tried to address the problem in schools,” Nicky said.

Joining forces with both the Cardinia Shire and Casey councils and numerous schools in the area, Cranbourne Body Works is now seen as an employment trailblazer in the field.

“The VACC (Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce) have got on board and said they haven’t been able to penetrate schools as effective as we have,” Nicky said.

Since January this year the business has held information presentations at numerous local schools and on 26 November took a group of Pakenham High School Year 9 students on a tour of their garage.

“After putting it all into practice this year we saw results within the first three months,” Nicky said.

“We are showing the young students that panel beating and spray painting is not what it used to be it’s safer and cleaner now and is a very technical and highly skilled job.

“Our tradesmen are constantly getting re-trained in areas that are changing as cars are changing.”

Nicky said shifting the way career counsellors at schools thought about panel beating had been an even more productive tool than just educating the student’s themselves.

“We’ve changed the way we are going about things to see a return of young people in this field,” she said.

The innovative and forward thinking team has also identified

mental health as a problem in the trade.

“We’ve had to educate ourselves in mental health because we’ve realised that what’s happening outside of work can heavily affect a young person’s work performance,” Nicky said.

“It’s important to us to make sure our young apprentices feel like a worthy part of our team because they are.

Now it’s Nathan’s time to get back in the workforce

“That’s why we are using our older experienced tradesmen as teachers, mentors and friends for our younger tradesmen.”

Utilising all ages and skill levels at their Cranbourne garage, Nicky and Kevin have two apprenticeships to fill and five VCAL positions available for high school students.

“We are open to all ages and genders,” Nicky said.

rience in the kitchen and moved on to work somewhere else,” he said.

He said DVJS provided training and check-ups and government incentives made his decision to give people a go a little easier.

“Without that you wouldn’t take the risk,” he said.

“A lot of them are slower or not as capable as able-bodied people.”

DVJS is a non-profit service with eight sites in the southeast, including Dandenong, Cranbourne, Narre Warren and Pakenham.

It specialises in placing people with disabilities into the general workforce.

GROW., the new regional business magazine is out now and will change the way you think about business in the Casey Cardinia region.

Developed in partnership with Star News Group and City of Casey and Shire of Cardinia Councils the publication will shine light on local business’ successes, struggles and offer an opportunity for targeted business to business promotion.

“Things don’t always work out.

“But I’m a strong believer in giving people opportunities.

“These people have lost a lot of confidence and haven’t worked in a long time. They come in very shy and very nervous.

“It’s all about empowering people and letting them realise what they’re capable of.”

Mr Lakkis also offers unpaid on-site training for DVJS clients.

ine Magaz Out now

By CASEY NEILL NATHAN Isailofski never thought he’d be able to handle a 7am start at work.

But with help from DVJS Employment Solutions and employer Lakkis Catering, the 22-year-old from Narre Warren is now doing just that.

He’s worked for Lakkis since February and is no longer letting his battle with mental illness hold him back.

Nathan started out working afternoon shifts.

“Sleep is a big problem for me but we’ve worked through it,” he said.

He gradually brought back his starting time, an hour at a time.

“It was what I needed to be able to keep a job,” he said.

“In the past I’ve just burnt out. Being able to do it and do it at my own pace ...

“Now I’m starting at 7am which I thought I’d never be able to do.

“This is the longest I’ve ever held a job.”

Max Lakkis is one of three brothers who own Lakkis Catering, which has cafe contracts with Holmesglen TAFE in Chadstone and Glen Waverley, Kangan TAFE in Docklands and Federation Training at Chadstone.

He employs five clients with mental illness disabilities through DVJS - formerly Dandenong Valley Job Support and has given more than 20 a go over the past two years.

WITH summer fast approaching, now is a good time to begin thinking about checking skin for freckles, moles and spots which may look suspicious, or which may have changed size, shape or colour.

Oncologist Dr Oliver Klein said: “Melanoma is commonly seen as the ‘Australian’ cancer as the number of cases diagnosed in the Australian population is twice as high as in Europe or North America.”

Fortunately, most melanomas are detected and treated at an early stage so most patients are cured by surgery.

Nevertheless, a proportion of patients will develop advanced disease or rarely at the time of diagnosis present with metastases.

Until a few years ago treatment options for advanced melanoma were limited and the outlook for patients with advanced disease has been poor, with the majority of patients surviving no longer than a year.

Recent scientific advances with the discovery of the genetic changes that occur in melanoma, and a better understanding of the way the immune system is interacting with melanoma, has led to novel treatments that have revolutionized the management of patients in advanced stages of the disease.

A significant percentage of patients achieve with these new treatments a survival of several years and a few may be cured from their condition.

These novel treatments in-

Dr Oliver Klein. clude drugs called BRAF inhibitors that are helpful in around 50 per cent of patients in whom their melanoma has a genetic change making it sensitive to these drugs.

Another new treatment involves infusions with anti-PD-1 antibodies.

These drugs unleash the immune system to kill off melanoma cells and have the potential to be active in all patients with advanced melanoma.

Future clinical research will focus how to best to combine or sequence these novel treatments to further improve the outcome of advanced melanoma patients.

Current clinical trials are also conducted using these treatments in patients with early melanoma who are at high risk of recurrence and assessing if treatment with these agents can

reduce the recurrence risk.

Dr Klein, along with St John of God Berwick Hospital, urges everyone in the community to protect their skin during the summer by wearing sunscreen, a hat and protective clothing.

They should try to stay out of the sun during the hottest hours of the day and if they notice any changes to their skin they should see their GP. Dr Klein is an oncologist at St John of God Berwick Hospital and part of the melanoma clinics at the Austin Hospital where he is heading the recently established Immune-oncology Clinic.

Dr Klein is available for appointments at his consulting suite located at the Specialist Centre, 55 Kangan Drive, Berwick.

FIVE Dandenong High School students can pursue their studies thanks to local Nashos.

For the past 10 years, the National Servicemen’s Association of Australia (Victoria) South-East Sub-Branch has been providing the financial support.

It all started with former Doveton Technical School assistant principal Noel Chapple and NSAA branch president Mike Smith.

They were both at a morning tea with the successful students on Wednesday 9 December.

Principal Susan Ogden said the teens receiving support for Year 11 studies next year were all from an applied learning pathway.

“So they’re students that doing VCAL or vocational learning,” she said.

“It’s to prepare them for work.

“They’re students who’ve shown they really want to connect with their learning.”

Ms Ogden said the NSAA support helped to build a culture of accepting applied learning as a viable pathway.

She said such studies often had additional equipment costs that some parents were unable to pay.

Jack Taylor was among the recipients and was described as a diligent student who had displayed a quiet, disciplined and committed approached to his studies.

He’s eyeing a carpentry or electrical career.

“I’m planning on going into the tradie business,” he said.

“I’ve got family members already in there and I’ve got a lot of family friends. I’ve got openings.”

Jack this year completed a Certificate II in building construction.

“In Year 9 a handful of stu-

dents were offered to do their first year,” he said.

Next year he plans to study electro-technology.

Fellow recipient Rahma Saadaldeen was described as committed, dedicated and very hard-working, and VET electrical student Kristada Nasuri had a positive attitude to studies and completed all his work to a good standard.

Tom Vu was rewarded for his excellent attendance, enthusiasm and willingness to give tasks a go in his VET Hospitality studies.

Jessica Paises had an excellent attendance and was described as a polite, focused and co-operative student who was hard-working and tried her best at all times.

The National Servicemen’s Association of Australian represents the 287,000 young men the government called up for service during two conscription schemes.

Total control of the ball

By JARROD POTTER THERESA Deas has done it all on the field - from playing on muddy Dandenong pitches all the way up to representing Australia.

But one of her proudest achievements came recently when she was named the first female president in the WNPL at Southern United Football Club.

Ever since she first hit the football pitch as a 12-year-old, Theresa Deas has been driven to succeed.

The sporting passion started locally for her moving from Dandenong City Soccer Club and North Dandenong to Casey Comets where she flourished - before higher state and national ambitions began to beckon.

She had to slug it out in the seniors from an early age, though, as junior female soccer was just a pipedream at that stage, but she persevered to reach the heights of green-and-gold representation.

Her time in the Australian colours was beyond her wildest football expectations - starting at 17 years old and capping off with a stellar World Cup victory over Brazil - but above all Deas loved seeing the game grow in her backyard.

“Casey Comets was my grassroots club Dandenong City was my first club when I was a 12-year-old so I pretty much grew up in Dandenong, Dandenong North and I played most of my senior football with the Casey Comets,” Deas said.

From a true novelty on paddocks to a serious caper at the elite level, Deas can’t believe how far the women’s game has come and, hopefully, how far it can go when women take greater ownership of its administration.

The champion Matildas goalkeeper was in-

Theresa Deas can now add Southern United Football Club president to her illustrious Picture: JARROD POTTER soccer resume. 146864 ducted into both Soccer Australia (now FFA) and Football Federation Victoria’s (FFV) Hall of Fames and received the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 ... but that’s not where her sport story will end.

As her playing days have become just fond memories, Deas wants to ensure female football’s future is laden with opportunity and stands much brighter than before.

The south-east has been her home throughout

her storied career and Deas’s Casey connection proved important as she was beckoned to join the newly formed Women’s National Premier League (WNPL) consortium club Southern United where her beloved Casey stood as one of the five inaugural bidding clubs.

“Because Casey owns part of my heart - as I played my football there - and the people involved in the consortium were so keen and eager and both councils had come on board - the momentum just went from there,” Deas said.

“I really had little choice as it wasn’t a big decision to make as they needed me to lend my experience and my profile to help the club to go forward.”

It will start from the bottom up and Deas believes the new side has the potential to become a Victorian powerhouse - as the south will go from a feeder program for the metro sides into a force of its own.

“I thought this was the time to do something for the southern area as this is a huge area,” Deas said.

“We have an enormous amount of talent and it hasn’t been looked at properly in the past - so it was an easy choice.

“We want them to think that ‘this is my club’ we’ve got girls trialling from the five consortium clubs but they don’t make up the majority of the numbers, so it’s a place for everybody.”

With the club already featuring two ex-Matildas - Deas and under-13s coach Debbie Nichols plus a likely array of W-League and former WPL players set to join the senior ranks, the opportunities for young girls to see up close what it takes to become elite will be a major factor in Southern’s success.

Above all Deas wants the ownership of the club to come from beyond the players and families because the greater southern community and the business sector needs to get on board to make Southern United shine.

“We’re going to be family friendly and we want everyone to get on board and the community needs to get on board, too,” Deas said.

“We can’t run what we want to run without the support of great sponsors behind us.”

Dubai debut for cricket talent

Bulls beef up for a new season

By JARROD POTTER

By JARROD POTTER

DANDENONG West all-rounder Jackson Collard traded Greaves Reserve for Dubai last month as part of Kevin Pietersen’s Cricket Academy.

Collard, 15, from North Dandenong, was one of 12 Victorian Indigenous cricketers selected to head overseas to aid their progress with the Noogal Development Squad (Victorian Indigenous Development Squad).

The KP24 Foundation was started by the cult hero cricketer and his camp was held at the ICC Academy in Dubai where Collard - of Noongar tribal heritage - honed his Twenty20 skills.

The 10-day training camp was the first piece of the puzzle as at the end of the camp, Collard and his team mates represented an Australian side in a Twenty20 tournament against the likes of India, Sri Lanka, Kenya and Pakistan.

“I was stoked when dad got the email,” Collard said.

“They trained us mostly in the Twenty20 format so they were making sure that we knew what shots to play so we could have the game on our hands if we were batting or bowling.”

Getting to meet Pietersen was a great thrill for the young sporting dynamo as Collard’s best lesson was to enjoy the experience and not just focus on results.

“He had all the people who work in the foundation helping us out first and he then came to help us with our training and with the games at the end,” Collard said.

“He (Pietersen) was saying it wasn’t all about winning, it’s about meeting new blokes from other countries and we met a few great

THE revolving door at Noble Park has been swinging.

While a number of players have left the 2015 EFL Division 1 finalists, the Bulls have managed to bring in plenty of future talent for the 2016 season.

After its early exit from last season’s finals race, the Bulls have made plenty of changes including big name inclusion Casey Scorpions’ midfielder Mitch Gent.

After 60 VFL senior appearances with Casey, since joining the club in 2011, Gent, 23, from Chelsea Heights, made the choice to return to local football from the VFL as he couldn’t devote that much time to football anymore.

While Gent remained a strong contributor in the VFL - finishing third in Casey’s best and fairest - the workload took its toll.

“I probably didn’t enjoy my year as much this year - I found myself at times getting a little bit tired of all the training commitments and sometimes I was finishing work thinking I couldn’t be bothered going to training,” Gent said.

“But at the same time I loved playing at that level - that was a really tough decision knowing how I felt throughout the year.

“The time commitment of the VFL and the lifestyle balance is what sort of in the end got me to leave.”

Gent can’t wait to become part of the Bulls’ club culture on and off the ground - something he hasn’t had too much experience with in the elite football system.

“The big thing I’m looking forward to is a club atmosphere at the local footy club,” Gent said. “The VFL I guess at Casey as a club is probably not as much of a club feel - it’s more of a talent pathway and a footy program.

“Coming through the TAC Cup and into the VFL, I’ve never really experienced a true club atmosphere so that’s a big one and on-field I’m looking forward to hope-

fully still playing some really good footy.

“I still think I can improve as a player, even though I’m not in the VFL anymore.”

Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty said Gent should mesh nicely in the Bulls’ engine-room alongside Craig Anderson and Kyle Martin as he’s an asset on and off the field.

“We’re rapt,” Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty said. “Mitch comes with a terrific pedigree- played top line footy for Casey for a number of years and it’s not just his ability on the ground, but his leadership off it too as he’s a class person.”

Another to make the leap is Beaconsfield champion Tyson Mitchem, who returns to his former home where he won the 2012 best and fairest.

Narre Warren’s Ben Giobbi and Ryan Morrison have made the step across from South East Football Netball League to the Eastern ranks for 2016, as well as Josh Docherty (Phillip Island).

Leaving the Bulls are Dan Keelty, Jarryd Plymin, Luke Mann and Daniel Galante (Beaconsfield) while Glen Manson (injury) and Vergim Faik (overseas) will leave a massive hole in the Bulls’ ruck division.

Also a speculated move for injured midfielder Shane Valenti to Old Haileybury remains a possibility.

“We’ve lost a couple -there’s no doubt about it, but they’ve been terrific servants to our club and wish them the best in their future endeavours,” Fogarty said.

“Valenti has an offer of something outside of football that there’s something he’s got to weigh up with Old Haileybury ... if that’s the way he goes, we’ll thank him for the year we had, but it’s not official yet.”

Fogarty said the club was also pursuing two more of Gent’s Scorpions team mates Will Petropoulos and delisted Demon Rohan Bail, while Beaconsfield forward Taylor Joyce is another high-calibre recruit on the radar.

MAJOR SERVICE & TUNE-UP

By JARROD POTTER WHEN Georgia Gee pulls on the Dandenong Stingrays jumper next season, she will proudly carry a Dandenong football legacy into the fourth-generation.

Gee, 16, was selected for the 2016 Dandenong Stingrays Youth Girls Academy - and in many ways the TAC Cup club is a spiritual successor to her grandfather’s Dandenong Football Club at Shepley Oval.

While it might not be in a Redlegs side, Gee - a Beaconsfield Youth Girls triple premiership player - was thrilled to get a chance to play where her Pa Brian Shinners made his name in the former Victorian Football Association.

“To be able to follow in my Pa’s footsteps playing for Dandy is a massive privilege,” Gee said.

“To play with all these other great girls and take my skills to a higher level is a massive honour.

“It’s been a good experience so far and it will be a great experience over the six months that we play.”

Shinners is thrilled to see his granddaughter extend the family’s Shepley Oval history across to women’s football - a sight he never could have predicted in his time associated with footy.

“At that early stage you’d only ever think about your son carrying on the tradition of football - certainly Aussie rules anyway - but the progress of the women’s side of football and the way it’s been pushed realistically by the AFL now has been great,” Shinners said.

“Initially I never thought it would eventuate - even at that early stage for Auskick and things like that young girls were very sparingly even in-

volved - so it’s been a really pleasant surprise.”

The Shinners name is synonymous with Dandenong football as Brian - a former Richmond and Hawthorn VFL footballer - joined the Redlegs in 1970s alongside his brothers Kevin and Bobby.

The three Shinners brothers followed what was started by their father Jack - who played for the club back in the 1930s under the Dandenong United banner.

Shinners saw his granddaughter’s skills develop from very early on and he thinks she’ll be a force in any “She goes very well - always had very good hand/eye coordination,” Shinners said.

“Georgia has always been, even as a little tacker, about having a kick in the backyard and learned to kick properly.

“She’s very quick and has very good co-ordination.”

While the Redlegs memories are effectively all that remain of the proud club - besides one display cabinet at Shepley Oval - Shinners is proud of everything that happened in the red and blue, especially the friendships formed throughout the years.

“I feel disappointed that there isn’t more memorabilia about the history of where Dandenong came to,” Shinners said.

“It was always very competitive and they always had a lot of great players and people related to the club as well as the local community.

“I always enjoyed the footy - it gave everyone a little bit of everything in the VFA, you had guys who didn’t actually make the VFL but were good footballers in their own right.

“As well as the friendships and the relation-

RETURNING to the Victorian colours for another year has Killester College’s Rahni Samason “over the moon”.

With a wide array of netball commitments already scheduled for 2016, Samason, 17, is in the midst of a hectic summer preparing for April’s national championships in Perth.

Samason was one of 12 Victorian under-17s to make the cut, and she wasn’t any less excited the second time around getting another chance in the navy blue.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity, I’m overjoyed just being able to do it,” Samason said. “It’s such a great honour and privilege to represent my state again.

“It’s very interesting to see the best of each state battle it out - Victoria always are in really good shape and it’s great to have that competition.

“I just want to make sure I’m in the best shape I can be - so I’m the absolute best that I can and hopefully help my team take out the championship.”

Her state duties add yet another layer of netball complexity to her already jam-packed schedule.

Rahni Samason will play for Victoria once again as her busy 2016 netball schedule continued to fill up. 127674 Picture: JARROD POTTER She trained with the Australian under-17 team at Netball Australia’s Centre of Excellence in Canberra last May and that selection also earned her a scholarship for the Victorian Institute of Sport.

As far as the monumental growth of women’s sport has come in Shinners’s lifetime, it’s grown dramatically just in the time Gee has been playing as Women’s AFL is now a certainty rather than just a concept.

“It’s been pretty crazy watching the process of all the girls’ footy teams growing from when I was younger - it was just all boys playing and I never thought it would be like this,” Gee said.

“I never thought there would be a girls’ competition and it’s been pretty amazing.”

Samason also made the step up to the Championship Division in the VNL this season as she relished her time with the Southern Saints.

“I play Championship Division this year and the girls are all so lovely and Jane Searle, she’s the coach, she’s absolutely brilliant and always trying to help me,” Samason said.

When you add her training duties with the ANL Victorian Fury as well, her busy timetable has forced Samason to leave Doveton, where she has been a fixture for the last two seasons.

With all the commitments on her plate, the 2014 Casey Cardinia (now South East) A Grade MVP and premiership player had to make the tough choice to leave the Doves in favour of her neighbourhood side Heatherton.

“Everything is happening now all at once, all these other netball commitments made it extremely difficult to play at Doveton, with travel as I have brothers who play sport as well,” Samason said.

“Trying to tie it all in was pretty difficult and my parents can’t be everywhere at once and Heatherton is within walking distance for me.”

Samason wanted to thank her parents and family for their unwavering support of her netball ambitions.

we’ve ever driven. The suspension work was done in Australia, mainly by Aussie engineers, but there’s some input from Japanese engineers as well.

A new design differential is installed in all Camry models, not just the Atara SX. The ride is firm without compromising comfort overmuch, steering feel is tighter than on the standard Camry models and provides good feedback.

The SX gripped the road reassuringly through the many bends and dips along our drive routes.

Control by way of throttle input is better than anticipated.

Indeed it’s amongst the best we have ever felt from a front-drive family sedan from an Asian car maker.

Toyota Camry Atara SX will appeal to the family car driver who is looking for more than simply transport and who wants a responsive car under their control.

It’s an excellent example of Australian engineering which, combined with Californian styling, seems certain to sell in significant numbers.

It can use voice recognition and Toyota Link.

Pandora is operated through the vehicle's audio head unit via a touchscreen display; there’s Bluetooth, Aux, and USB connectivity; AM/FM radio and a CD player.

The 2.5-litre petrol engine is unchanged with 135 kW of power and 235 Nm of torque in the Atara SX. Transmission is by six-speed automatic through the front wheels.

The upgraded Toyota Camry retains its five-star ANCAP safety rating with all models coming with seven airbags, reversing camera, vehicle stability and traction control, ABS brakes with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution; and LED daytime running lights.

We stepped out of the Atara SX feeling very impressed after our initial drives out of Melbourne in May this year.

After a week of heavy-duty traffic driving, some lovely country running and a quick trip over our secret test route behind the Gold Coast nothing has changed our opinions.

It’s no sports machine, but the Atara SX is certainly the most enjoyable Camry

TOYOTA Camry has been unfairly put down by too many people when they comment on its conservative looks.

Now the Japanese giant has given it a radical reworking in its shape.

With most of the work being done in its Californian design centre, Calty, where I’m not sure they understand the concept of ‘conservative’.

Camry, and its brother Aurion (which is a Camry with a V6 engine) are still being built in Altona but only until 2017 when, sadly, local car manufacturing in Australia becomes nothing but history.

Our test car for the past week was the semi-sporty variant, the Camry Atara SX. Interestingly, it’s designed and made purely for Australian market.

This is a smart move given the number of hot variants of Commodores and Falcons sold here, not to forget the big sales of ultra-sporty models from Audi, BMW and Mercedes.

Keen on attracting younger buyers Toyota Australia has given Camry new body panels everywhere except the roof and it has also gone for the biggest baddest grille of all.

Camry Atara SX has 18-inch alloy wheels with low profile tyres and sports suspension.

Though Toyota’s commitment to petrol-electric hybrid technology is used in all other versions of the Camry, the Atara SX doesn’t get it, which seems odd given that hybrids provide extra urge off the line and are increasingly common in the top levels of motorsport these days.

Changes to the trim and a new design of steering wheel are aimed at giving Camry a more upmarket feel.

Toyota Link is installed in Camry Atara SX. It provides Pandora music streaming, apps that can used to find destinations, fuel and weather details and roadside assistance.

Not in Conjunction with any other offer or discount. Vehicle must be sold and delivered by January 20th 2016. Offer Excludes Mazda3 Neo.
