A men’s shed which is it is hoped will enrich and possibly save seniors’ lives in Endeavour Hills is just one step from reality.

With the support of Casey council, the Rotary Club of Endeavour Hills is set to step in and found the sorely needed shed at the council-owned Essex Grove Community Place, pending a vote by the club’s members on 25 August.

Councillor Rafal Kaplon said the shed, one of more than 300 in Victoria, would fill a vital void for the area’s growing legion of ageing, isolated males.

The shed would provide a social outlet, branching off into activities and common interest groups and be a means of providing medical information and check-ups for reluctant men.

It would be open to men and women aged 18 and over.

Cr Kaplon said there was an opportunity for older members to mentor disengaged Doveton youth at the hub.

“The thought is to have blokes go out and socialise and have a positive effect on younger blokes, teach them a few skills and get them engaged in the community.”

He said that he was relieved that an exhaustive 18-month search for a founding committee and suitable venue appeared to be over.

The proposed arrangement is for the Rotary Club to initially run and equip the shed, hired from Casey at a peppercorn rate, before handing the reins to shed members.

Rotary members met with Casey staff and councillors as well as men’s shed representatives in a positive meeting on 18 August, Cr Kaplon said.

Fellow ward councillor Rosalie Crestani said the shed would address mental health issues for senior men and that it would “save lives” of otherwise lonely elders.

Endeavour Hills Rotary president nominee Jean Harrison said the club was attracted to the project because it wanted to increase its impact on the community.

Among its local projects are helping community-aid group the Andrews Centre and planting a community vegetable garden with the Andrews Centre and Gleneagles Secondary College.

Ms Harrison said the type of activities at the shed would be dictated by its members.

The hand of friendship

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Treat your children as your friends.

That is the hard-earned advice from Selba Gondoza Luka, the ‘second mother’ who is transforming misguided African youth in Casey and Greater Dandenong.

She is one of the silent ’crime-fighters’ working behind the scenes against a much-publicised rise in serious youth offences, such as carjackings, car thefts and aggravated burglaries.

Ms Luka, who fronts the volunteer Afri-Aus Care group, often get referrals from the courts, Youth Justice, Community Corrections and Parkville Youth Detention Centre to help.

“When working with young people, I don’t judge them at all,” Ms Luka says. “I just tell them to think of their families, the community and their future.”

In many cases, young people go astray due to friction with parents at home.

“What works better is a more two-way conversation,” Ms Luka says.

She learnt this lesson herself, having faced similar issues with her daughter.

As Ms Luka reacted sternly, her relationship with her daughter became more rocky. She found she was “driving away” her daughter from the house and into more trouble.

Advice from a friend turned around the situation. She was told to talk to her daughter as a friend, not as her parent.

Ms Luka and her daughter started communicating again. Ms Luka made her daughter her first priority - she’d drop everything to listen, not judge and be there for her.

Her daughter is now embarking on a successful fashion design career.

“I was talked about in my community and it was a lot of pain,” Ms Luka recalls.

“Each time I see a young person in trouble, I just put them in my daughter’s shoes and say you can do better.”

To parents, Ms Luka can say she knows what they’re going through.

To the offenders, she tells them she will never give up on them.

“Even if you have done the wrong thing, there are better things you can do. Come up with something constructive.”

Car arson probed

Selba Gondoza Luka, Markos Mensur and Chaileng Jok in front of the Mow & More work van. 157933 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Her methods have borne fruit for a number of former offenders, some of whom have transformed into mentors.

One of them is Chaileng Jok - a rapper who had scrapes with the law back in 2014.

At Ms Luka’s encouragement, the musician went willingly into rehab and has given up drugs and alcohol.

He is now studying business and leadership course at a TAFE in Dandenong. He wants to lead youngsters back on track by helping set up a AfriAus Care music studio for youngsters and urging them to get back to school.

Another protege Markos Mensur never strayed into criminality but struggled to land an income to support himself, his wife and two children.

With Ms Luka’s help, he’s set up a Mow and More home-gardening enterprise. In gratitude, he has also offered a helping hand to straying youth.

Afri-Aus Care plans to launch music and organic gardening activities to engage young people.

It also offers intensive case management, referrals to legal aid, mental health and drug-and-alcohol services and employment support.

It is operating without government funding and requires sponsorship.

Ms Luka says her concern is the difficulty her proteges face in getting work. There are some she knows who have studied and yet can’t rise above factory work.

“You focus on what that kid wants to do. Once they’re confident, they find that next step in their education through alternative education pathways.

“Give them adequate supports to do something and make Australia a better place.”

Rapper hits the right note, see page 4...

Afri-Aus Care is helping transform African youth into mentors for other young people.

One example is Chaileng Jok, who spoke to CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS.

“I want to get a studio and get the youth focused on music and keep them off the streets.

These guys that will be coming in are rappers and musicians themselves.”

His dream is wider than just helping Sudanese boys who went through a similarly rough time.

Sick of his factory job, he is enrolled in a leadership and management diploma, with a view to starting a business degree.

As part of his transformation, he fervently reads self-devlopment books.

His family even brags that he is now helping out with the housework.

He reckons a lot of young African boys that are currently caught in drugs and stealing face greater challenges than himself, especially those who are homeless or have no parents.

His plan is to show them an “example” from his own life of how things can turn around.

“Some listen, some don’t want to change.

“It’s all up to you at the end of the day. You have to make that decision.”

Police are on the lookout for a silver or light blue Ford sedan with a black left front panel that was seen near the scene of a car fire in Eumemmerring.

A white 1998 model Nissan Pulsar was set alight on Lace Street about 4.40am on Tuesday 9 August.

A male was seen leaving the scene of the fire and getting into the Ford sedan that sped off towards the Princess Highway towards Dandenong. The Pulsar was stolen about nine days earlier from Dandenong.

Mercury runs free A mercury spill led to the closure of a residential street in Doveton during an eight-hour clean-up operation.

A CFA spokeswoman said it took time to identify the Camellia Court spill, which was reported about 10.45am on 16 August.

Five CFA vehicles as well as the EPA, police and a private liquid waste removalist were at the scene until the spill was under control about 6.30pm.

Some residents said they suspected that the operation must have involved cleaning up a meth lab. The CFA spokeswoman said residents’ health was never under threat.

The spill was cordoned off and contained over a 15-metre area on the court’s tarmac, she said.

Tourist talk A one-day conference for Casey-Cardinia tourism operators will be held in Doveton on 23 August.

Key speakers include Victoria Tourism Industry Council chief executive Dianne Smith, Visit Victoria’s acting marketing director Melanie de Souza, Cardinia council chief executive Gary McQuillan and the Institute of Excellence’s Despina Karatzias.

Door-to-door salesman charged Police have charged a man following an assault on an elderly man outside an Endeavour Hills home. The 19-year-old from Reservoir has been charged with assault and recklessly causing injury over the incident in Dozey Place on Wednesday 17 August.

The 73-year-old victim opened the door to a salesman and suffered lacerations to the back of his head and his gums, and swelling to his eye.

The charged man was released on bail to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 29 September.

Victim assaulted, car stolen A Hallam man was hospitalised when two men assaulted him and stole his keys while he was in his own driveway on Thursday 11 August.

The victim pulled into his driveway on Albert Road about 3.30pm when he was approached by two male offenders dressed all in black and wearing black balaclavas.

The two men demanded the car keys from the victim before assaulting him and stealing his black Holden Commodore sedan.

The victim sustained facial injuries and was taken to hospital but was later released.

At 3.40pm, the car was located crashed on the Belgrave-Hallam Road on ramp to the Monash Freeway and the offenders had fled the scene.

Change in direction creates a man of substance Chaileng Jok sees his future clearly now.

The budding rapper’s direction has come out the other side after being once hazed by substance abuse, getting into trouble with the law and without plans for study or work.

That changed with an intervention from his “second mother” and Afri-Aus Care founder Selba Gondoza Luka.

It was the help he needed at the time, the gently-spoken Mr Jok said.

His saviour ’Selba’ says it stopped him going on a path to prison. She told him at the time to look at the future.

“I thought if I carry on like this I won’t have a future,” Mr Jok says. “I have to change my life.”

27 July 1916 A Glimpse of France Part Four Through Young Australia’s eyes Letter from Private H W Garlick: ... Where we make our first stay, we notice young girls of about 14 years working among coal.

We pulled up at the station and were treaded to hot rum, so we had a meal at the same time.

We then pass on, travelling all night.

The folk are very anxious to converse with us but as very few speak our tongue, nor we theirs, there is necessarily some difficulty; however, the young men and ladies seem to make each other understood, and quite a number are getting buttons and badges which our boys give “avec plaisir”...

18 August 1966 Award for drama At the annual Dandenong High School house drama festival, held in Dandenong Town Hall on 28 July, Wattle House won with a play titled ‘Untitled’ with the greatest number of points - 90.

It was produced by Mary Richardson and John McPhee.

Bluegum House was second with 85 points for its production of ‘The Stolen Prince’, produced by Ruth Yule and Robyn Golding.

Orchid House was third with ‘The Patchwork Quilt’ on 84 points, produced by Maureen Richardson and Neil Leed, and Clematis House fourth with 80 points for its production of ‘Geranium’, produced by Judy Dyke and Peter Wallace.

The award for best actors went to Peter Wallace, Form VI and Pat Dreverman Form V.

26 August 1996 Old favourite Dimmeys is here to stay Dimmeys will become as synonymous with Dandenong as Myer is to Melbourne and Forges is to Footscray.

The discount giant has been rescued from what looked like a sure death after it went into receivership in March this year.

But in late May it was brought out - lock stock and barrel - by a Melbourne-based syndicate headed by Mr Brian Swersky and Mr Dough Zappelli.

Mr Swersky said he had great faith in Dandenong.

He said the council appeared “very proactive” and he looked forward to being “a good corporate citizen” and an active member of the chamber of commerce and industry.

Mr Swersky said since the takeover, big brand names had agreed to supply Dimmeys and to keep Dimmeys in Dandenong was a

great thing for the community and for employees.

5 years ago 22 August 2011 Cruisy in the CBD Revitalisation of Dandenong’s central shopping precinct has ensured it is much easier to get around to all your favourite shops and restaurants on foot.

But what about parking?

Well, rest assured there is more parking than ever.

Undercover parking is available at the Dandenong Plaza complex, Myer car park, Dandenong Market and in Thomas Street.

And if you are in need to pop into Dandenong quickly, there is plenty of parking either side of Lonsdale Street, in Clow Street, and in Langhorne Street.

Check out the map and familiarise yourself with the best place to park next time you visit Dandenong.

Where have all of the jobs gone?

As a man in my mid-40s with children soon to enter the job market I can’t help but think how restricted their options are going to be.

As a young person I had a range of opportunities to enter the workforce and be exposed to many different industries.

This experience not only developed my attitudes towards employment and an understanding of work culture and expectations, but also significantly impacted my career planning.

Considerable changes in lifestyles, shopping habits and economic factors for large corporations, coupled with increased focus on occupational health and safety and the resulting management of potential risks, have resulted in dramatic decreases in the availability of entry-level jobs available to young people today.

My first exposure to employment was delivering the local newspaper to 250 houses once a week.

COMMUNITY

VOICE ANDREW SIMMONS SELLEN CEO

This was something I did from about 10 years of age.

The role developed my sense of responsibility, time management and budgeting as I decided what I would spend my $2.85 on each week.

With more and more people opting to source their news online, there is less demand for newspaper delivery and those that are still delivered, along with advertising materials, are usually done by a more mature workforce looking to supplement other forms of income or just motivate

themselves to get out for some exercise.

At the age of 12 I secured my second job at a service station, where I was employed to re-fuel cars, check their oil and clean their windscreens while the driver remained in the comfort and warmth of their vehicle.

Yes that is correct, this used to be a job!

The self-service nature of ironically named service stations has resulted in these types of jobs disappearing completely.

This move to self-service is something which is now spreading to other retail sectors.

We see it in supermarkets, hardware and department stores especially, where previously many young people held their first jobs operating a checkout facility.

My third job was one that I held on weekends and during school holidays for several years.

Moving timber around a timber yard, cutting wood to length, milling timber and putting orders

together was all part of my role at a small familyowned timber and hardware supplier.

Without these types of opportunities being available, how does a young person develop their knowledge of the workplace, its culture, expectations and requirements?

There are some businesses that provide opportunities for young people to develop their experience through work experience or structured workplace learning opportunities.

These opportunities are wonderful in their own right and serve a great purpose, however they are usually short-term and without many of the responsibilities of real employment.

If you are a business owner or operator and have a new position becoming available, why not look at targeting it as an entry level role for a local young person?

Rail and roads drive wish list

By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey council has identified a duplication of one road and an extension of Cranbourne railway line as the municipality’s major transport infrastructure priorities.

The council has hired The Civic Group to develop its advocacy campaign which nominates one road and one public transport outcome as the prime focus, a report to the council’s 16 August meeting stated.

From a long list of projects, the number one priorities are the duplication of Narre WarrenCranbourne Road between Thompsons Road and South Gippsland Highway, and adding train stops at Cranbourne East and Clyde.

The road project has already been allocated $10 million of state planning funding.

Other priorities included a duplication of Hallam South Road between Princes Highway and Pound Road, which has been allocated $10 million of state planning funding.

Added to the list is Glasscocks Road between South Gippsland and Western Port highways. It is

dependent on a grade-separation of a railway line crossing.

Casey will lobby for an extension of Cranbourne railway line to Cranbourne East and Clyde stations.

The report states that there was likely to be extra bus services in Cranbourne by November, and significant upgrades of Monash Freeway and Thompsons Road in the pipeline.

The federal pledge for a Monash Freeway upgrade and O’Shea Road extension had, however, not been matched by the State Government, the report noted.

At the meeting, councillors also pledged to continue lobbying for safety improvements at the Lynbrook Boulevard-South Gippsland Highway intersection.

So far, VicRoads recently installed brighter LED traffic lights at the intersection, installed larger ‘Road Safety Camera Ahead’ signs and was developing an idea to improve traffic flow on the highway.

Councillor Damien Rosario said the intersection’s speed camera had raised $955,000 in the past financial year.

Young volunteer leading the way

By Victoria Stone-Meadows The 2016 Casey Young Volunteer of the Year award was presented to an 18-year-old Narre Warren resident for his volunteer work through the Narre Warren Community Centre.

Jery Burniston was still 17 when he was presented with the award in January but has approached his volunteer work with the maturity of someone much older.

He has been involved in three volunteer groups and orchestrated many activities to improve the lives of young people in Casey.

A member of the Casey Youth Action Committee, Mr Burniston has overseen events like the Casey Colour Run. He has worked tirelessly with the Action Committee to bring young people in the area together and improve their lives though activities that promote leadership and skill building.

Mr Burniston has also worked with the Casey

and Dandenong branches of Unite Alliance that aims to improve the lives of LGBTIQ youth.

“My main job was to promote (Unite Alliance) more and try to make people see it in a different light, rather than just being gay,” he said.

“It is all about opening hetro people’s experiences of LGBTIQ communities to gain valuable understanding.”

Mr Burniston is also a mentor for the youth program Man Cave that offers positive male role models to young men in the Casey region.

Mr Burniston said he was honoured to win young volunteer of the year.

“I know a few of the other nominees and I thought I’m not going to win this so when they announced me as the winner I was gobsmacked.”

Mr Burniston said volunteering was an important part of his life.

“It’s the normal stuff I do,” he said.

“It does feel fantastic to have my work recognised.”

Set over three levels surrounding an atrium with a grand staircase, the library will feature a range of spaces including a reading amphitheatre, an engaging children’s area, a peaceful outdoor reading garden, quiet study nooks, and seating options for individuals or groups.

The library is anticipated to be one of the most visited facilities of Bunjil Place.

Diplomatic end to scary siege

By Cam Lucadou-Wells A former Canberra-based diplomat has held police at bay during a house siege in Endeavour Hills and was at another time found naked in his car with three samurai swords, a court heard.

Prior to the siege on 30 July, Ashfaq Hussain, 34, had started stabbing his bedroom door and walls with a knife, declaring “he’d lost the plot” to a concerned housemate.

Later that evening, he wielded a butcher’s knife and told his three housemates he’d “kill all of you” as they tried to flee out the front door.

The housemates barricaded themselves in a room, and two of them later fled out a rear door.

At 7pm, a critical-incident-response police cordon was formed outside. They were concerned that an armed Hussain and one of his housemates remained in the house, the court was told.

After a peaceful negotiation, Hussain was safely removed about 8.45pm.

At the time, Hussain was on bail for separate offences. He told police he was “insane” and lived a “delusional life”.

After a while, police thought Hussain became more coherent and so was putting on an act, the court was told.

On 18 December, Hussain was found naked in the driver’s seat of his car with samurai swords in his car’s open boot in Mont Albert.

He told police he couldn’t remember where or when he got the swords. He kept them “just to look at”.

His lawyer later told the court the swords were bought via Gumtree and that Hussain had a weapons licence in the ACT, though not Victoria.

The accused was also charged with threatening to harm an ex-girlfriend in March and with driving an unregistered car with a suspended ACT driver’s licence and without number plates in Noble Park in May. Defence lawyer Emma Strugnell said the accused arrived in Australia as a young adult, and

yourself draw the “linkYoubetween your drug use, your mental health and your offending

”

- Magistrate John Vandersteen retired as a diplomat in Canberra onto a disability pension when diagnosed with mental health issues in 2015.

He then moved to Melbourne where he had little family support, Ms Strugnell said.

“There has not been 100 per cent compliance with his medication.

“He tells me that’s essentially the reason behind these incidents.”

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said it was hard to distinguish between the impact of Hussain’s bipolar disorder and drug use, including ice, cannabis and alcohol.

“You yourself draw the link between your drug use, your mental health and your offending.

“If you comply with your corrections order and the medication and keep away from any drugs, the chances of you having any contact with the courts are very low.”

Mr Vandersteen noted “tens of thousands of dollars” of police resources were used to arrest the accused at the siege, which could have ended much more seriously.

“You have had a lot go against you in the last couple of years, but I appreciate you’re still an intelligent person.”

Mr Vandersteen urged Hussain to comply with a community treatment order and a new 12-month treatment-based, supervisory community corrections order.

He said Hussain’s 16-day stint in remand custody was time served. The seized weapons were forfeited.

Letters Silent war no more I refer to the report Refugees Caught In Deadly Game Of Hide And Seek in the Journal by Cam Lucadou-Wells and wish to indicate to all that Sri Lanka is more safe and peaceful than any other country in South Asia.

In fact, two senior Australian ministers who visited Sri Lanka soon after the conclusion of Sri Lanka’s war against the Tamil Tigers too confirmed that Sri Lanka has returned to the normalcy.

Therefore to say that there is a silent war against Tamils in Sri Lanka is a misleading statement.

In Sri Lanka, many Tamils are among the big business leaders and also hold very high positions in government, judiciary and in the NGOs and they are an integral part of Sri Lanka.

It has to be mentioned that over 70 per cent of the Tamils live away from the so called Tamil areas and live peacefully among the other ethnic groups such as the Sinhalese and Muslims.

The Australian Border Force deserves our appreciation for keeping the Australian borders safe unlike in many other countries.

It has deprived the human smugglers from making millions out of economic refugees.

Many of the Tamil asylum seekers are in search of greener pastures or some of them had been involved closely with the Tamil Tigers, thus depriving the opportunities for genuine refugees under the approved refugee policy of the government.

Further, Sri Lanka is planning to establish a missing persons’ commission and if the persons who left Sri Lanka and have appeared in Australia who are classified as ‘double negatives’ do not return they will naturally swell number of the missing persons in Sri Lanka.

Joy plagued with terror Rio was ablaze with grandeur, colour and fun.

I own a small business in Berwick, teach part time at a TAFE level, have three children who attend school and play sport in Berwick, and as well as my wife volunteer in junior sport.

I love how the Casey community embraces sport and encourages participation.

One of the best ways to prevent youth crime and promote healthy lifestyles is to encourage sporting participation and ensure youth spend time with great role models and volunteers.

Youth of today usually get a pretty bad rap, however I have nothing but praise and admiration for the kids I have been lucky enough to be around in different sporting environments.

Our local councils should be doing as much as they possibly can to make sure our sporting clubs can run effectively and grounds are kept in safe and workable order.

James Williams, Berwick.

ENTERTAINMENT

The whole world was gathered in Rio and enjoying the fun, laughter, tantalizing music, and everywhere there were smiles.

Sadly there is only one component of the social fabric which is busy plotting and planning chaos.

Even the Olympics is saturated with excessive protective measures of shielding the public and athletes from harm.

The idealism of a religion of hatred and mayhem needs scrutiny and people who subscribe to that belief should search their conscience as to whether their religion has been hijacked by ignorant, ill-informed extremists.

This appraisal is necessary to restore their own integrity as a religion of “submission” and the welfare of the rest of us who are law abiding citizens who choose to live in a haven of justice, equality, and freedom from fear of terror.

It’s none of our business but…

In scenes reminiscent of Usain Bolt’s 100 metre sprint victory at the Olympics in Rio, St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School student Victoria took a cheeky peek at her opponents during a dash at the Noble Park school.

Lynne Hume contacted the News in the hope that readers can help her reconnect with her old friend Loris Robinson.

“We lost contact about 25 or 30 years ago and my search has just come to a dead end,” wrote Lynne.

“Her last known address was 16 Endeavour Drive, Cranbourne, but she is not living there now. Seems she sold up about eight or nine years ago.

Anyone who knows Loris can contact Lynne at lhume46@live.com.

There could be frequent cases of mistaken identity between two Hallam companies - one is an electrical supply and construction company Powerplant and the other is a horticultural lighting firm Powerplants.

To add to the confusion, the two companies apparently sometimes collaborate on lighting projects.

Star News Group reporter Cameron LucadouWells received recognition from the TAC Towards Zero Media Awards last week.

He received a Highly Commended runnersup award in the metropolitan section for his story on the death of two teenagers in a car crash in Kallista in May. Adam Carey of The Age took out the category.

By Cam Lucadou-Wells This year’s Walk in the Park will be no ‘walk in the park’ for ambassador and perennial participant Anne Atkin.

Ms Atkin, of Hallam, is recovering from major brain surgery and a painful back injury, and will be confined to a motorised scooter for the major annual fund-raiser for Parkinson’s Victoria on 28 August.

Initially expecting to be an event scratching, she says she’s pleased to still be travelling in relative comfort during the scenic Yarra River route from Federation Square.

“A friend has just rang me to offer me a motorised scooter, so I’m looking forward to joining in.”

Ms Atkin, who also runs a Painting with Parkinson’s art group, has walked in all seven previous events.

Aside from three bulging discs in her back, Ms Atkin said she was recuperating well from her radical six-hour surgery in late May in which her

brain was wired to an electricity-generating ‘pacemaker’.

The operation has freed her movement, though unsteadied her sense of balance.

She says her neurologist has sternly warned her not to climb due to her increased risk of falls.

“I really feel almost normal. It’s a problem because I forget to take a tablet or I start to run and trip over.”

Ms Atkin is putting her finishing touches to a book on her journey towards deciding to have surgery, including being badly shook up by a car crash.

Despite that ordeal, her story still manages to look at the “funny side of life”, she says.

About 3000 walkers are expected to register for A Walk In the Park, raising more than $100,000 for research towards finding a cure for Parkinson’s.

Ms Atkin, who is aiming to raise $500, says the foundation receives “very little” government funding.

An accused's faith in his lawyers was unshaken despite being forced to stay a further

month in Dandenong police cells due to the lawyers being apparently unable to visit him.

In a letter to Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 15 August, the lawyers requested an adjournment until 8 September.

The judge asked the accused if he wanted to see Victoria Legal Aid lawyers instead. “It’s not good enough that you’re remanded in custody and no one speaks to you.

“If they’re representing you, they should drive out here and see you in the cells.”

The man, facing a six-week total stint in the cells, said he’d prefer to stick with the lawyers who had previously represented him.

Family still struggles with loss

By Victoria Stone-Meadows Brooke Skewes lost her best friend in a horror car smash in Lynbrook seven years ago and has maintained close ties to the family ever since.

It is though those close ties to the family that Ms Skewes has decided to raise funds to help the family with its ongoing struggle.

Ms Skewes was very close to 16-year-old Riyani Lowen who tragically lost her life at the intersection of Hallam and Ormond roads at 1.30am on 28 June 2009.

Since then Ms Skewes has done everything she can to support Riyani’s mother Emma and younger sister Casey who was born with cerebral palsy.

Since the accident Emma Lowen has developed PTSD from the shock loss of her eldest daughter and the strain of caring for her youngest.

Ms Skewes cares deeply for the Lowen family and has organised a fundraising day to help Emma Lowen get the treatment she needs and offer more support for Casey.

“I met them when I was 10 and I’m 22 now,” Ms Skewes said.

“I was friends with Riyani when we lost her in the car accident in 2009 but I have maintained a relationship with the family.”

Ms Skewes said she has seen first-hand the toll Riyani’s death has taken on her mother.

“I think that, at the start, when it was fresh, a massive influx of attention and support was put on the family but as time has gone by that has died off,” she said.

“For Emma the longer time passes, the worse it has been for her.”

Ms Skewes has organised a family fun day in Hampton Park that is open to the community to raise much needed money for Lowens.

“I wanted to put the day on as I have a Gofundme account and I thought putting on an event to raise money and raise awareness of the Gofundme site would really help,” she said.

Emma Lowen is seeing a counsellor once a week for her PTSD that costs about $220 a week as well as medication which costs the family $250 a week.

“It’s just too much for a single income family

Brooke Skewes with Riyani and Casey Lowen. with a disabled child,” Ms Skewes said.

“It puts a strain on Emma because she feels guilty when her family is struggling to spend money on herself even though she really needs it.”

The family fun day will be held on Wednesday

21 September at the Hampton Park Community House and will include events and activities for the whole family.

With sausage sizzles, face paints, balloon modelling, games and sports, live entertainment and

much more, the event will be great fun for a worthy cause.

Eleven arrested after probe and drugs swoop A Dandenong woman and men from Springvale, Dandenong and Hampton Park were arrested during drug raids on 13 properties.

Caulfield Divisional Response Unit (DRU) members charged 11 people over the ice crackdown, conducted on Monday 15 August.

It was the culmination of a 10-month investigation and allegedly disrupted an organised crime syndicate trafficking and distributing methamphetamine.

Properties in Springvale South, Hampton Park and Dandenong were among those the police searched.

They also executed warrants in Chelsea, Aspendale, Notting Hill, Cheltenham, Moorabbin,

Seaford, Frankston, Mordialloc and Braeside. Officers found a clandestine laboratory, a substantial amount of methamphetamine, other drugs including heroin and cannabis, a significant quantity of cash, an imitation firearm, two samurai swords, stolen property and drug paraphernalia.

They issued a 22-year-old Springvale man a caution regarding cannabis possession.

A man and woman from Dandenong, both 26, were released and are expected to be charged on summons with trafficking methylamphetamines.

A 29-year-old Hampton Park man was to face an out-of-sessions court hearing on Monday night.

Pop up and be counted next Where next for the City of Casey?

That’s the question to be asked at more than 60 community engagement opportunities from now until 16 September.

Casey Next is the biggest community engagement activity ever undertaken by the council.

Mayor Sam Aziz said the council wanted to hear from as many residents as possible through Casey Next.

“As part of this project, council will be taking our community engagement to residents with pop-up stands at community events and locations across Casey, as well as targeted workshops for different demographics including children, youth, older people and culturally diverse communities.

This will be supported by online engagement so everyone has the opportunity to have their say,“ he said.

“To ensure council better understands the Casey community’s expectations and prioritises and deliver our services and infrastructure in line with what residents want, we need to continually reach out and consult with community members and stakeholders.

“Feedback received from the community through Casey Next will be used to refresh the council vision for the future and inform the next four-year Council Plan, ensuring it reflects the needs, expectations and ambitions of the Casey community, existing and new.“ Residents can also share their vision for Casey’s future by answering questions online at caseyconversations.com.au/ caseynext until 16 September, or by picking up a postcard from City of Casey Customer Service Centre.

Residents that fill out the survey will go in the running to win Explore Casey experience packs, a $500 bicycle package, $200 voucher to kit yourself out with some active wear or sports equipment and a Fitbit to track your adventures around Casey.

Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Rix said the culmination of the operation was significant within the region and will disrupt the flow of methamphetamine onto the streets.

“Unfortunately, the demand for these types of illicit substances continues to grow so those who use and buy need to know they are contributing to organised crime,” he said.

Caulfield DRU members carried out the investigation with help from Moorabbin, Mordialloc, Cheltenham, Chelsea and Bayside local police, Kingston and Bayside CIU detectives, and specialist units including the Dog Squad and Divisional Tasking Unit.

Site points sufferers in the right mental direction

By Georgia Westgarth Band-Aids don’t heal mental illnesses, nor do websites - but this one can put people on the right track.

It’s a site specifically designed for the outer south-east growth region and can link its users to the best local mental health services.

Developed by not-for-profit mental health service, Ermha in conjunction with Partners In Recovery, the ‘Mental Health Compass’ aims to beat the confusion around service providers.

Launched in May this year the website comes as the State Government boosts the mental health sector with $14 million for a revamp of Monash Children’s Hospital’s facilities.

The cash injection is set to go towards a ‘Early in Life Mental Health Service’ (ELMHS) to be integrated into the new children’s hospital.

The Victorian Government’s 10-year Mental Health Plan has seen a State investment of more than $43.48 million, over four years, to support

the mental health of children. Mental health practitioner, trainer and project officer on Ermha’s new online tool, Tamara Stillwell understands firsthand how mental illnesses don’t discriminate with age.

“One in two people will suffer a mental health issue in their lives and one in five will develop a mental illness,” Ms Stillwell said.

“Mental illness is one of the most pressing issues of our times. Not only does it cause intense suffering for many people, it can cause relationship and family breakdowns, and losses in productivity.

“The cost to Australian businesses is over $6.5 billion a year. The cost to taxpayers is over $8 billion a year.”

Ms Stillwell said the site aimed to ease one area of the intricate issue.

“Mental health by its very nature is complex and our mental health systems are often difficult for clients and their families to navigate,” she said.

“The Compass was built because it was noted by consumers, carers and service providers that our mental health and social services system was often confusing and difficult to understand.”

A range of in-the-know professionals worked together to build the Compass, which links users to regional on-the-ground services, websites, mental health legislation and helplines which specialise in a range of conditions including: trauma and abuse, homelessness, bullying, alcohol and other drugs, gambling and family violence.

Ms Stillwell said the Compass was originally developed for the City of Casey, the City of Greater Dandenong and Cardinia Shire, but was now being extended to include services in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

“Local residents have a consumer-friendly tool that gives them an overview of mental health and social services, to empower them to make more informed choices for themselves, or the people they are caring for,” Ms Stillwell said.

COVER STORY

SOMERFIELD: LOOKING BACK AS Somerfield celebrates its eighth birthday, and with sales drawing to a close with over 95 per cent sold, we take a look back on the development that has shaped a suburb.

“It’s greatly satisfying to look back on the community we have been able to create at Somerfield,” says Max Shifman, Intrapac Property’s COO. “It’s perfectly located for people to conveniently access everything they need, with all amenities nearby, and more being created all the time.”

Terry Portelli, managing director at Red23, Somerfield’s sales agency, was brought on board after the planning stage, right when the first soil was turned on the project almost eight years ago this August.

He remembers the suburb being mostly market gardens and dog kennels, more aligned with Dandenong and Noble Park than waterways. He says the Somerfield project has definitely lifted the overall status of the suburb, largely because of the quality landscaping and urban design, and marketing of the premium residential community.

“A market for Keysborough was created, which wasn’t there before. I believe the project reinvigorated the area,” says Portelli. “We’ll be sad to leave it, because that’s what started us off and helped us build the business we now have. We genuinely believe it’s a great project.”

Portelli believes the demographic of the suburb hasn’t really changed, but what has changed is that the region now has a strong solid following of people who buy into the development because they have faith in the area.

The range of lots sizes available blocks from 250m2 to 800m2+ - means people from all stages of life have been

able to move into the neighbourhood. One of the noticeable trends over time has been a shift from big blocks to people wanting smaller, more affordable blocks.

“Building design has evolved considerably since the development first began, so people are able to now fit much larger homes on smaller lots,” says Shifman, whose company introduced a townhomes offering to cater for people wanting a low-maintenance lifestyle.

Many buyers have opted for free time rather than the hassle of maintaining a big backyard, preferring to take advantage of the extensive parks and landscaping in the development. There’s also the pirate adventure playground, which has hosted many neighbourhood birthday parties, as well as community events at times such as

Easter, Halloween and Christmas.

Somerfield townhomes have been a huge success with the first stage - Aura Park with 118 townhouses - sold off the plan. A display home was built for it, but it was almost no use given how quickly the homes sold. There are still townhome opportunities available.

“Everyone knows each other in the street and it’s a vibrant community, thanks in part to the volunteer resident committee,” says Shifman. “It’s one thing selling land, but when you can walk away and see you’ve built a community, that just really makes it worth the effort.”

Homebuyers can register their interest to purchase a Somerfield townhome by calling the sales team on 1300 570 460 or visiting www.somerfield.com.au

FATHER’S DAY

Dad’s good for laughs

FATHERS DAY at the Club

He fell in love the first time he held you, and cocked the shotgun when your first date arrived.

He teaches, protects and loves unconditionally, but never misses an opportunity to “stir you up”.

They’re the characters who teach you to laugh at yourself, and particularly enjoy when you laugh at them.

This is for the new Dads - to learn from. For the current Dads - to gain new material from.

And for the Dads we’ve lost - to always remember the joy they gave us.

Top 10 Dad jokes: · When driving past a cemetery, “You know, that is the dead centre of town!” · “Pull my finger!” · Me: “Dad I’m hungry!” Dad: “Hi hungry, I’m dad!” · Anywhere with stuffed and mounted animal heads - “It must have been going pretty fast when it hit that wall!” · When Dad drops a pea off of his plate - “Oh dear I’ve pee’d on the table!” · Me: “Should I put the kettle on?” Dad: “Do you think it will suit you?” · When driving past black and white cows “Wow, it must be cold out there, those cows are Friesian!” · Me: “I’m off!” Dad: “I wondered what the smell was!” · Hearing someone in a restaurant dropping glasses or crockery - “Sack the juggler!” · When being offered a hot towel in a Chinese restaurant, “No thanks, I’m full!”

Let’s talk about sex, say clients

By Georgia Westgarth More often than not, Dandenong prostitute ‘Kati’ offers her clients companionship, not sex.

The 23-year-old mother of one has been a working girl since she was 18, and told The Journal “people get lonely”.

When asked what her job entails Kati said “just having a chat is more common than not”.

“A lot of the time it’s more companionship.

Probably 50 to 75 per cent of my job involves no sex at all,” she said.

“It’s a brothel, you think it’s the sex industry you must have sex, but not at all.

“I sit around talking, helping people through their own little dramas, just being able to talk through any issues they have with someone who’s completely objective.”

But the companionship Kati describes also involves massage and “relaxation” she calls it - a type of relaxation which pulled her off the streets.

An unstable childhood and close to a year of homelessness forced Kati to advertise herself on Gumtree, an online buy and sell platform.

Kati advertised herself with a written resume looking for any line of work.

“I was 18, in between school and trying to find a job and really struggling to work it all out,” Kati said.

“I got an email from a lovely woman who laid everything out on the table for me, links to all the laws and regulations so I could see that everything (the paid sex industry) was above board.”

At that point Kati had been out of an unsafe home environment since she was 15 years old and in time the brothel would provide a safe haven for her in between homes.

“I had all the media stereotypes in my head and it scared me,” Kati recalled of her first shift at a Moorabbin brothel.

“I stood on the steps of my very first place for about half an hour before walking inside but after three weeks of work I said ‘this is nothing like what the media perceives it to be, nothing’.”

Kati calls her current work place, Garden of Eden (GOE), a family.

“Girls come and go but the owner here has seen me at my best and most darkest points and she’s definitely like another mum. At times I just call her mum and annoy her with it,” Kati said, laughing.

“If I can, I come into work on Christmas Day. Everyone in here is family whether it be clients or girls - it’s very humbling to know that no matter what job you do you are still human and loved and respected.”

Kati met her partner on an online escort chatroom and reviews forum called Punter Planet and said one of the best things about their relationship was the understanding.

“He is an escort himself, we’ve been together almost three years and if I’ve had a bad day at work I know I can turn to him and he’ll understand what I’ve gone through so that’s really great,” Kati said.

With a three-year-old autistic son in childcare during the day, Kati said the money she earned through prostitution means the right kind of edu-

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Transition work mission

Business Brief Workers were underpaid

Ghulam Abbas was 19 and alone when he arrived in Australia from Afghanistan as a desperate refugee.

Now, just 10 months later, Ghulam is making a new life for himself, thanks to a lot of hard work, determination and some support from Mission Australia’s Transition to Work program.

Safely in Australia, Ghulam was determined to complete his secondary schooling and pursue his dream of becoming an apprentice electrician.

He enrolled in English classes, but found the going tough because of the diverse English skill levels of his classmates.

Adding to his frustration was the fact that every school Ghulam applied for had rejected his application, with most not offering an explanation.

Stranded in a new country and with no family support, Ghulam’s dream seemed impossible.

However, his hopes were revived when a teacher recommended Mission Australia’s Transition to Work program, based in Dandenong.

Mission Australia’s Claire Cook said the Transition to Work program was designed for people between the ages of 15 to 21 struggling to connect with education or employment, and assists them by providing pathways to educational services and employers.

Ghulam’s pathway has led him to Hampton Park Secondary College, where he is studying for his VCE. “I couldn’t believe how quickly my luck changed after getting in touch with the Transition to Work program. I knew that I wasn’t fulfilling my full potential when I was studying at my English classes. All I really wanted was to be in a classroom with people my own age and make friends that can help me out when I need it,“ Ghulam said.

Ghulam Abbas has a bright future thanks to Mission Australia's Transition to Work program. 157978 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS “The Transition to Work program helped me organise various meetings and did everything in their power to get me accepted into a high school.

“I couldn’t believe it when the news came through that I was going back to school, it was a dream come true and I am truly grateful for the opportunity.

Ms Cook said the Mission Australia staff ensured that Ghulam knew he had other options such as VCAL at Tafe, but he insisted he wanted

to be in a high school.

“Ghulam’s story is certainly an amazing one, and he was over the moon when he received the news about his acceptance to Hampton Park Secondary College. It’s definitely the best part of my job when we see an outcome like Ghulam’s, it’s just the best.”

Transitions to Work is a Department of Education and Training funded initiative.

Path to dream jobs gives a taste of the world of work Noble Park students have a taste for the world of work and the pathways to their dream job destination.

Noble Park Secondary College held its annual Future Pathways Expo on Monday 1 August.

Careers co-ordinator Sandra Vaina said the aim was to increase Year 10 students’ understanding of future career options, to help them make the right subject choices.

Local business professionals shared their career journeys with the students.

Speakers included ANZ head of client services Darren Bastian, Ray White real estate agent Jaymee Lee, Palma and Co accountant Michal Palma, carpenter Glen Evans from Skillinvest, private practice lawyer Peter Brasier, Victoria Police forensic scientist Rebecca O’Sullivan and civil engineer Lisa Barry.

“We also had many representatives from universities, TAFEs and training groups who were providing advice and information about courses,” Ms Vaina said.

Student Christina said: “It was a great experience to hear all the professionals speak about their job, in particular what courses they studied to get there.”

“I really enjoyed hearing from Rebecca O’Sullivan, the Victoria Police forensic scientist.”

The school’s Industry and Enterprise study program investigates work and its place in work settings, industries and society.

Students look at trends and patterns in Australian workplaces and industries and significant issues affecting them.

They learn work-related skills seen as important for entry-level employees and life more generally, and develop personal career goals and pathways.

They’re encouraged to develop enterprising behaviour in personal, work, social and community settings.

Two finalists in Learn Local Greater Dandenong has two finalists vying for Victorian Learn Local Awards.

Naryphol Thach from Dandenong Neighbourhood House is up for the Rowena Allen Award, which recognises pre-accredited learner excellence.

Keysborough Learning Centre’s Marj Sjostrom is in the running for the Outstanding Practitioner award.

Training and Skills Minister Steve Herbert announced the finalists on Thursday 11 August.

The awards will be presented on Thursday 8 September and recognise the contribution more than 300 learn local organisations make to training in Victoria.

There is $50,000 to be won across the five prize categories.

“Learn locals make a huge difference in their communities,” Mr Herbert said.

“They help people who need extra support turn their lives around with programs for people of all ages and from all walks of life.

“All Victorians - no matter their age, background or postcode - should be able to access training to get the skills they need for the jobs they want.

“Learn locals are often the first step on someone’s pathway to employment.”

Four retail shop assistants at a Dandenong butchery are sharing more than $14,400 in back-pay.

The Fair Work Ombudsman found the casual employees were paid flat rates below the minimum entitlements under the General Retail Industry Award.

They also did not get weekend or public holiday penalties for eight months. One worker received $6100 in back-pay.

Fair Work discovered the underpayment during pro-active auditing of businesses Dandenong region businesses.

In a separate matter, the Fair Work Ombudsman negotiated back-payment of $12,600 for 10 commercial cleaners in Dandenong who were underpaid part-time loading, and a fulltime cleaner who did not receive his travel allowance.

The butchery employees were all from nonEnglish speaking backgrounds.

Fair Work Ombudsman Natalie James said the employer was, too, and did not have a full understanding of his obligations under federal workplace laws.

She said employers needed to ensure they understood the wages applicable to their individual workplace.

“Our online tools and resources can assist employers to determine their relevant award, as well as classification and wages, including base pay rates, allowances, overtime and penalty rates,” Ms James said.

“Our focus is on educating employers about their obligations and assisting them to put processes in place to ensure that any errors we find don’t occur again.”

and tailoring cover letters and resumes.

Mr Moulder also advised applicants to read job vacancy advertisements carefully and write their cover letter to suit.

Rachel Mithen from Victoria Police said applicants should pick up the phone and call the hiring manager for further information about the vacancy to show initiative and enthusiasm and create a positive first impression.

Melanie Robertson from Bombardier said it

was important for applicants to be themselves and answer questions honestly during interviews.

The employers all agreed that volunteer experience was a valuable way to demonstrate the attributes they were looking for - communication skills, teamwork and reliability.

Nikki Peut from McDonald’s suggested students without prior work experience could obtain a reference from a teacher or a sporting coach to support their application.

Small and start-up businesses can tap into $10,000 worth of help.

City of Greater Dandenong is again offering business grants of up to $8000, plus business mentoring and marketing valued about $2000.

The grants aim to attract investment and stimulate business and employment growth in the municipalities.

The three grant categories cover businesses that have been operating for less than six months, growing businesses, and businesses relocating to Greater Dandenong.

Indian culture, cinema dazzles Harmony Square visitors were transported to India through a cultural and cinematic celebration.

Dandenong is a satellite location for this year’s Indian Film Festival of Melbourne.

The State Government established the event in 2012 to celebrate cinema from India and the subcontinent.

Students looking to their future

By Alana Mitchelson Federation University held its first open night to inform students, parents and teachers about the courses on offer at its new Berwick campus.

FedUni will provide 15 courses at the current Monash University Berwick campus from next year under an agreement announced in July.

More than 200 people attended the information evening between 4pm and 8pm on Wednesday 17 August, speaking with FedUni staff about their tertiary study options next year.

Formal information sessions were held for the faculties of nursing, science, IT, education, business and arts.

The most sought after courses were in the education, nursing, and veterinary and wildlife science fields.

Deputy vice-chancellor (Academic) Andy Smith thanked families that attended the open evening, the local schools who promoted the opportunity and the staff of both FedUni and Monash University for their collaboration.

“The local communities are genuinely excited by the different range of courses and entry level requirements FedUni will bring to the region,” Mr Smith said.

“I think we are off to a great start and FedUni looks forward to continuing its engagement with the surrounding communities.”

FedUni will hold another information day at the Berwick Campus on 14 December.

Subject to government approval FedUni is expected to have full operation of the Berwick campus by 2018, with a transition period to commence in 2017.

The following courses will be on offer at Berwick campus: · Bachelor of Business · Bachelor of Business (Marketing) · Bachelor of Business (Human Resource Management) · Bachelor of Commerce · Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) · Bachelor of Community and Human Services · Bachelor of Education

FedUni's Aimee Cereceda-Rojas and Ryan Parker were excited to tell new students about their tertiary study options at the Berwick campus. 157715

SPORT Actions speak louder than words

By Jarrod Potter Selflessness is a fragile concept in the TAC Cup. Too much of it and players run the risk of being overlooked at the end of the year ... but not enough and they’re ‘just arrogant’ and ‘out for yourself ’.

Perry Lewis-Smith is softly spoken. Words aren’t his driving force; his actions are derived from each kick, each handball and each strongly phrased point his determined mindset asks of him.

But for the former Parkmore Pirates premiership captain in the South East Juniors ... he definitely leaned towards the former when posed a difficult proposition about which colours he’d be wearing recently.

He’s from Mt Eliza - a traditional proving ground for Dandenong Stingrays alumnus like number one draft picks Jacob Weitering and Lachlan Whitfield - but by a strange twist he’s lining up in the black, white and vivid maroon at Sandringham.

The Sandringham Dragons needed to qualify more plays for the TAC Cup finals and LewisSmith, 17, had already qualified ... so they asked him if he’d step back to local footy for a few weeks for the good of the team.

It wasn’t a question he needed to hear twice Lewis-Smith immediately accepted.

He went to Dingley for a month and relished the chances afforded to him by head coach Shane Morwood.

Instead of moping around, putting in a half-arsed performance and waiting for the easy touches, the hard-running midfielder excelled and made the step-back into a chance to step forward with his career.

He went straight into the centre and tore apart

Mixing his time between the Sandringham Dragons and Dingley, Perry Lewis-Smith has had a 2016 to remember. 154245 Picture: JARROD POTTER the best that Southern Football League Division 1 senior bodies could offer up.

Racking up touches, slotting goals and generally terrorising the opposition - his time back in the local seniors proved an incredible tune up for the approaching TAC Cup finals.

In his limited time in the Dingoes jumper, he stole the show with two 40-disposal matches and a 30 touch game through the centre while also

snagging 12 goals in an incredible month of local domination.

“I’m just trying to do my best, hold my spot (with the Dragons) but, most importantly, play my role and do everything I’m asked of,” LewisSmith said.

“They’re (Sandringham) just real happy with my running ability and happy with me lately they’ve told me if I keep up the good form I’ll be

Lillywhite breaks camp on the way to South Korea

By David Nagel Springvale Lions baseball star Shae Lillywhite has chalked up another significant achievement in an already glittering career after earning selection for this year’s World Cup in South Korea.

Lillywhite is one of four Victorians selected in a 20-strong squad that will head to Gijang for the WBSC Women’s World Cup, running from Saturday 3 to Sunday 11 September.

The Somerville local, who also plies her trade for the Berwick Dodgers in the summer league, was selected in the Australian Emeralds squad after an intense three-day camp held at Surfers Paradise Baseball Club last weekend.

Emeralds Head Coach Simone Wearne was impressed with the quality of the camp.

“We had 32 of the best players from across the country come in and play five games, take part in various off-field activities, and all showed a great commitment to the Emeralds program,” Wearne said.

Lillywhite, who has been a mainstay of the Emeralds since 2001, has had stints in Japan and the USA and is a previous winner of the Australian Women’s Baseball Player of the Year.

She was a member of the 2014 Emeralds squad that won a bronze medal at that year’s World Cup. Coach Wearne had the unenviable task of selecting the team but is pleased with the final 20.

“It was a very difficult task selecting just 20 players from a group of talented girls but we feel like we have a great mix of veterans and rookies that will really work well together in Korea,” Wearne said.

“The final team includes 10 rookies plus two returning players who have not been on the National Team for around 10 years.

“It really is an exciting time for women’s baseball in Australia”.

The Emeralds go into the tournament as the number three ranked team in the world and have drawn the USA (2), Chinese Taipei (6) and Hong Kong (9) in the opening pool rounds.

Shae Lillywhite has once again earned selection for the Australian Emeralds for next month's World Cup in South Korea.

talked to at the end of the year by recruiters and the like.

“So I’m just happy to keep playing my role, wherever that is.”

He returned to Sandringham late last month and was thrown in the deep end immediately. His last challenge was against another up-and-coming Peninsula talent as he went toe-to-toe with Dandenong’s Sam Fowler in the Dragons’ narrow six-point loss to the Stingrays.

But for Lewis-Smith, he was able to keep the goal-sneak to just one snag and ensure that he brought back the lessons of a month away the Dragons back into the TAC Cup. “I think I’m surprising people more (than myself) because I know what I’m capable of and what I can do,” Lewis-Smith said.

“It’s just a case of each week getting better and better and showing them what I can achieve and what I can do at this level.”

District gold medals in the schoolboys’ athletics regions championships earlier this year also showed his all-round calibre as his busy 2016 extends beyond the footy oval.

“Haven’t been doing much athletics at the moment, but I thought I’d give it a go,” Lewis-Smith said. “Went out and won three gold medals in the 400m, 800m and 1500m and broke all three of the (division) records.”

He wanted to thank Dingley and Sandringham for his on-field opportunities this year, his mentors Mick ’The Human Blanket’ Gayfer and Morwood, and his family for their unwavering support.

Pavilion dream is coming true Federal Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus has welcomed news that the Dandenong and District Netball Association will receive $5530 to equip a ‘dream room’ at the Ella Athorn Pavilion in Dandenong.

The DDNA will use the much-needed funds to fit out the ‘dream room’ with audio visual equipment including a television, a projector, chairs, tables and a laptop. The room will provide the DDNA with a great training tool for both its players and staff.

Mr Dreyfus recommended the project for funding under the second round of the Stronger Communities Grants Programme.

“This ‘dream room’ will be of enormous benefit to the Dandenong and District Netball Association, as well as the wider community,” Mr Dreyfus said.

“Groups including the Southern Migrant and Refugee Centre, Wallara Australia, Victorian First Aid and many netball groups use the ‘dream room’ in the Ella Athorn Pavilion.

This grant will allow the ‘dream room’ to live up to its name and provide a great service to our local community.”

“I am very pleased to have been able to assist the Dandenong Netball Association to obtain this grant,” Mr Dreyfus said.

The program provides grants between $5000 and $20,000 and is available for projects that improve community participation and contribute to the vibrancy and viability of local communities.

Mark Dreyfus worked with a Community Advisory Committee to identify which ideas represented the best investment in the community and then made a final recommendation on which projects should receive funding.

More information on the funding program, including guidelines, is available at http://investment.infrastructure.gov.au/ funding/scp.

Retirement loss but no regrets

From Belgrave, to Dandenong, to Cleveland to Phoenix, Penny Taylor has done it all in a magnificent international career. 130078 The last word on Penny Taylor’s story shouldn’t be centered on disappointment, though.

Basketball was truly blessed to have Penny running around - whether it was her first steps on court at Belgrave South Red Devils all the way through to Dandenong and Phoenix Mercury in the elite leagues ... or when she always made the

time to come back to don the Australian jersey time after time.

She’s been through the wringer with injuries and she’s 35-years-old ... but we still want one more match, one more series, another time leading our nation out on court.

This is not the ending she deserves, so perhaps

Track ace overtakes to nip in to Dutch racing circuit Born and bred local and now international open wheel ace Thomas Randle is a late addition to the Masters of Formula 3 event to be held at the undulating Zandvoort circuit, located seaside in northern Holland.

The former Formula 1 venue (1948-85) will this year conduct the 26th running of the event which has previously been won by many drivers who have gone on to establish successful careers in the world’s most prestigious categories.

Among those to have won the famous Masters of Formula 3 weekend are David Coulthard, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Hulkenberg, Valtteri Bottas and current teenage Red Bull F1 sensation Max Verstappen.

The 20-year-old from Narre Warren North - who with one round remaining is currently placed in third position in the British Formula 3 Championship - will drive a Double R Racing Dallara at the event.

“This is just a great opportunity and despite the short notice, when it came up I jumped at it,” Randle said.

Thomas Randle has won a coveted grid position in the Masters of Formula 3 event to be held at the Zandvoort circuit in Holland.

“Double R Racing field very competitive machinery and the car I am driving was driven to third place by Alexander Sims at Macau last year

that will drive the tenacious Taylor to go around again.

Another world championship tilt, returning to Australia in the WNBL ... but if it’s not to be and this truly is it, then we were lucky to have her in the first place.

Thank you Penny.

so I’m sure it will serve me well. I loved every second of driving the Dallara F3 when I did the Valencia test late last year and the Zandvoort circuit looks like it will suit my style.”

Randle wanted to thank his backers for the wonderful opportunity.

“Securing this drive would not have been possible without the generous backing of Mike Newbould who has helped pull this all together,” Randle said.

Double R Racing Team Principal Anthony ‘Boyo’ Hieatt has also been instrumental in helping Randle into the Masters of F3 field.

“I heard how well Thomas tested in F3 at the Valencia circuit in 2015 and this year I’ve been keeping a close eye on his BRDC F3 form, where he races against our team.

“He’s regularly been taking points from our boys and when I needed a fast driver for Zandvoort Thomas was my first choice. I’m sure he will acquit himself well throughout the weekend.“

So that’s it - we’ve seen former Dandenong Rangers and WNBA star Penny Taylor in the Australian Opals colours for the very last time.

Pain, guilt, sadness, regret, disbelief - they were all etched on the face of the born and bred Victorian superstar after the Opals surprise exit from the Rio Olympics after a 71-73 quarter final defeat at the hands of Serbia last week.

The Opals legend announced she will retire from professional basketball at the end of the WNBA season.

“Turnovers, defence - we struggled to contain them,” Taylor said to Channel 7 commentator and fellow Victorian basketball legend Andrew Gaze after the match.

“They spread us out pretty well ... not the way we wanted to play, obviously.

“This sucks, but I’m always proud to play for my country.”

Ever since she took to the international court for the first time in 2002 there was something special about to unfold for the kid from the Belgrave South Red Devils.

After dominating the WNBL it was only a matter of time before she’d head overseas and make her name into a reckoning force on the world stage.

The WNBA gleefully accepted her as she flourished with Cleveland... before heading to Phoenix to cement her league status.

But Penny was always ready to suit up for the country.

In 2006 the Opals captivated the world as Lauren Jackson and Taylor showed that Australian Women’s basketball was on the rise.

Olympic campaigns reaped her two silver medals in Athens and Beijing but those are just a few of the countless accolades, achievements, championships and honours that will line the trophy cabinet for Penny Taylor.

Her last Australian stat-line - two points, nine assists - will be glossed over in time as champions deserve to be remembered by their extraordinary achievements first and foremost.
