■ Gambling regulator says extra pokies are good for community...
Jackpot for RSL By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS
1102308-DJ48-13
NOBLE PARK RSL is ramping up its poker-machine battery to purportedly boost its veteran welfare services. The Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation last month deemed the “likely social impact of the proposal will be positive” as it approved the club’s application to increase its electronic gaming machines from 30 to 35. The RSL predicts the extra machines will generate more than $450,000 in expenditure. The commission noted Greater Dandenong was one of the most disadvantaged municipalities in the state and was “well above” the metropolitan average for gaming levels. “Such factors are warning signs and suggestive of a municipality where problem gambling may be prevalent and the impacts of problem gambling greatly felt. “However, having regard to the minimal increase in new gaming expenditure that will be generated, the commission is not satisfied that approval of this application will impact on this situation.” The club’s general man-
ager Mark Wilkinson said the expected windfall would help it buy a property for its pension office and to provide its welfare service. The pension office assists members and families to apply for welfare and pension entitlements, runs hospital and house visits for ill and socially isolated people, short-term emergency accommodation and food vouchers, furniture and utility bill help. “We run our own pensions office with volunteer staff and that needs money from somewhere,” Mr Wilkinson said. “There’s only so much you make with the bar and the bistro. (The pokies money) enables you to do the work you need to do.” In the 2012-13 financial year punters spent $2.7 million on pokies at the RSL club - one of the smallest of the 15 pokies venues in Greater Dandenong. The commission predicted most of the revenue from the club’s extra machines would be transferred from surrounding gaming venues. The machines were expected to generate about $22,000 in new pokies spending in the municipality - a “nominal amount”
given the $109 million lost on pokies in Greater Dandenong in 2012-13. Greater Dandenong Council declined to make a submission on the application. Community services director Mark Doubleday said “Council determined that there was a reduced likelihood of succeeding with an objection at the VCGLR as the club had an existing planning permit for the additional machines and the increase in machine numbers was small”. Monash University public health researcher Charles Livingstone said there was community concern that RSLs had become a “gambling operation” rather than its original purpose as a service for veterans. “In the past they could operate effectively without the poker machine cash,” Mr Livingstone said. “The reality is any additional machine is going to create additional gambling problems. “It’s going to take money out of families’ pockets and divert money from other community activities. The benefit is miniscule compared to the harm being done.” Continued page 2

Mr Bolger said the approach would better prepare students for tertiary study. “When they go to uni, there’s not someone standing over their shoulder,” he said. Cornish College started with 470 students this year, up from 219 in 2012. “We would anticipate next year that we’ll have close to 580 students,” Mr Bolger said. “In a three-year period the response from the local community has been mindblowing. “We’ve now got waiting lists at many levels in the school. “To be part of a growing school is really exciting,” he said.

On its 2012-13 community benefit statement, the club stated it spent $68,580 on running its pension office. The club claimed $199,958 on operating costs including salaries and wages at the club. Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti said he’d prefer pokies to be confined to Crown Casino and removed from the suburbs. Councillor Matthew Kirwan said he would have preferred the council objected but realised the objection was “unlikely to succeed”. “We need to advocate (to the State Government) to reduce the overall cap in Greater Dandenong dramatically given the nature of the area.

CORNISH College last week welcomed its first Year 11 students, just three years after it almost closed its classrooms for good. St Leonards College in Brighton East established the Bangholme campus but moved to shut it in 2011. “Independent school fees were rising at a rate that priced the school out of the market in this area,” principal Kerry Bolger said. “There were times then when we wondered whether the dream of keeping the school alive was going to eventuate.” But parents, teachers and the Uniting Church stepped in to purchase the property and establish the low-fee college. During its St Leonards days, Bangholme students had to move to Brighton East for their VCE. Seventeen students will start an innovative Year 11 program this year. “I think that’s been a really important development in terms of the school’s growth,” Mr Bolger said. “We’ve spent a good part of the last two years working on a careers program with them, looking at what their aptitudes and their passions and interests really are to determine the sort of pathways they’re going to be well-suited to.” From there the college worked out what subjects to offer - and how. “We’re looking at doing things differently,” he said. “When you’ve got a new

Raid locates drugs
1018221-KC2-12
THREE people are facing charges after a raid in Dandenong North located drugs and a taser. Dandenong Tasking Unit officers executed a drugs warrant at a home in Jindabyne Avenue on 24 January. They found three grams of methamphetamine, stolen goods, cash and a taser and arrested two 34-year-old men and a 42-year-old woman. The men were bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 17 June and the woman was released from custody pending a summons.

Fireys fight to save old school building By CASEY NEILL Rise Primary SPRINGVALE School’s 101-year-old campus was nearly no more after fire broke out just days before students returned to the classroom. The CFA determined the blaze started in the electrical switchboard cupboard about 4.30am on 27 January and was not suspicious. Firefighters from Springvale, Dandenong and Brandon Park worked quickly to contain the fire to the foyer and roof space. The primary school’s principal Annette Hilton said the CFA and police crews involved were “abso-
lutely magnificent�. “We were very lucky because the firemen said if it had been another three to five minutes there would have been no building at all,� she said. “The building will be 102 years old in March. “Once a fire gets into the roof of old buildings... “Another couple of minutes and there would have been no school left.� The campus’s 270 students returned from summer holidays on Wednesday 29 January. “Everything was right for their total return, so it hasn’t impacted on
the students at all,� Ms Hilton said. But she said the fire had left the Springvale Road campus without an office area and the school running on generators. “It’s an unusual start to the year,� she said. “We’re just using part of the old staffroom as the office at the moment. “We’ve been very unlucky, but also very lucky to receive such wonderful support. “People have been fantastic, working 24-hours to make sure the buildings were safe and clean.� She’s unsure when administration
staff can return to the office area. “They’re still assessing the damage,� she said. “It’s totally burnt-out, actually. “The roof and floors need replacing and the whole switchboard’s gone.� The building’s age will be a key factor in the rebuild. Ms Hilton said care was being taken to ensure its heritage value remained. “We’re conscious of trying to keep the renovations with the way it was,� she said. “The restorers have been in to make sure the refurbishments don’t lose the character.�

Residents topple suburb’s high-rise plan By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS A RESIDENTS campaign to drive future high-rise development out of their suburbs won some ground last month. Greater Dandenong Council rejected a proposal for a three-storey, 27-unit apartment building in Grace Avenue, Dandenong - a plan labelled as “deplorable� by a neighbour. Melinda Puglisi, a member of the newly-formed Dandenong Community Association, said the proposal went “way too far�. She said the association’s aim was to raise awareness of the highrise threat to residents in neighbour-
ing streets in Dandenong’s “expansive� residential growth zone. “There are residents out there that don’t realise that four-storey developments may now be possible in their street because they live in the (zone).� The affected zone streets, currently under review by Greater Dandenong Council include the areas bounded by: Pultney Street, Dandenong Creek, Clow Street and Foster Street. Clow Street, Ross Street, David Street and Princes Highway. Railway Parade, just west of Robinson Street, Princes Highway and Jones Road.
¡ ¡ ¡
Sharons
The DCA, supported by councillor Matthew Kirwan, wants the high-rise zone confined to Dandenong’s CBD and has continually raised the issue in public council meetings since late last year. Ms Puglisi said the review was the “perfect opportunity for residents to unite and lobby our council to shrink the residential growth zone�. The Grace Avenue proposal was rejected by the council’s planners for an array of reasons including being out-of-scale with the predominantly single-storey streetscape. The council report stated the plan “did not respect the existing or pre-
ferred neighbourhood character�, its design did not provide for the safety and accessibility of residents, inadequate provision of site services and waste management, and its basement car park’s design did not provide adequate clearance. Mayor Jim Memeti, who has also called for the zone to be shrunk, said the developer could appeal the council’s rejection at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal or lodge an alternative proposal.

Looking to expansion THE 1960s in Dandenong and district were busy days of pride and progress. This boom time is eloquently reflected in extracts from the Dandenong Journal collated by Bev Purcell for the Dandenong and District Historical Society’s 50th anniversary last year. It was during this decade that the Dandenong and District Hospital began expanding, increasing the number of beds from 40 to 80. Preliminary plans showed the administration, casualty, admissions, radiology, midwifery records, staff toilets, mortuary and bulk store on the ground floor and the 80 beds were to be placed above these on the first floor. I have vivid memories of the hospital as my cherished only daughter Melvena was born there and my room after her birth was on the ground floor. Sadly I lost Mel a number of years ago after she fought a long battle against cancer. Another advancement to the then Shire of Dandenong was a modern

Heinz Company announced a planned $500,000 expansion to its Dandenong plant involving the construction of a new building and new equipment. At that time Heinz exported goods to more than 40 countries. The Dandenong Chamber of Commerce commenced in 1963, and “lashed out” at the Dandenong council following what it termed as Main Street (Lonsdale Street) “paralysis” criticising the then Country Roads Board for construction without regard to the traders and shoppers.
In May 1963 Dandenong figured in several large property deals. McEwan’s Ltd purchased a property owned by a Mr Derek Cook and announced it would carry on the business of land and motors under the name of McEwan’s Motors. The same month Bradman’s Store’s new shop opened at 229 Lonsdale Street and AMP purchased the Royal Hotel. The Journal reported that the new owner intended to construct a block of modern offices and shops on the site.

March slams killings By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS ABOUT 70 South Sudanese Australians marched through Dandenong’s streets last Wednesday, decrying the recent outbreak of hostilities in their newly-independent homeland. Members of Nuer and Dinka tribes rallied side-by-side even as accusations swirl of atrocities against civilians during fighting between the two groups in South Sudan since December. By the United Nation’s latest estimates, more than 700,000 civilians have been displaced more than 100,000 fleeing over the country’s borders. In a desperate situation, the UN was harbouring about 10,000 in its own compounds. Khan Ruon said he joined the demonstration out of concern of reported mass killings of Nuer civilians. “They kill us,” he said. “We got independence (se-
ceding from Sudan) a few years ago. “Now there’s a lot of people involved in the war - Uganda, Conga... They kill us.” Dobuol Wuol, a former secretary of South Sudan’s Ministry of Housing and Planning, reluctantly fled to Australia after sheltering in a UN compound during the war. Like many others in the nation, Mr Wuol hopes for democracy and peace in the nation. He said “a target was on my head” because he opposed what he described as “corruption and dictatorship” under president Salva Kiir and his Dinka government. Mr Wuol said the hostilities began with pro-Kiir troops killing Nuer civilians in the city of Juba, sparking retaliatory fighting. Peace can only proceed if the president steps down and the Ugandan troops supporting him are withdrawn, he argues. “He lost legitimacy when he

tlers Square, rally leaders called for President Kiir to step down and for Ugandan troops to withdraw. “We’re here today to make people in Australia see what’s happening in South Sudan.”
It was hard to miss the protesters marching en masse to the Government Services Building, holding an array of placards - one including an image of charred corpses of a mother and child.
Bail buster remanded A SPRINGVALE man who has broken bail four times has been remanded following his latest arrest. Police arrested Omar Amr, 23, from Springvale South, following a pursuit in Dandenong on Monday 20 January. They charged him with a number of offences, including reckless conduct endangering serious injury, theft of a motor vehicle, evading police, driving in a dangerous manner, driving while suspended, committing offences while on bail and contravening certain bail conditions. He was remanded during out of session court hearing to attend Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 29 January. He applied for bail but was further remanded to attend a mention hearing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 12 February.

A NOBLE Park man called triple zero with a desperate plea for help just minutes before his death last Thursday. Police found Allan Matthews, 69, dead in the bathroom of his Henry Street home shortly before 4am on 30 January. Homicide Squad detectives on Thursday night charged Hallam woman Kristy Robb, 26, with one count of intentionally causing serious injury in relation to the incident. She was remanded in custody overnight to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last Friday morning. Investigators on Friday afternoon arrested a Narre Warren man, 40, and he was assisting with their inquiries as the Journal went to print. Detective Sergeant David Butler said a man in distress called triple zero about 3am on
30 January and told the calltaker he’d been assaulted. “Police have subsequently attended and located him deceased inside the house,” he said on Thursday morning. “He does have some blunttrauma injuries. I’m not going to go any further than that. “A post-mortem examination will need to be conducted to determine the cause of death. “We believe at this point in time that he knew his attacker.” Det Sgt Butler said neighbours had provided information about events they’d witnessed around the time of the incident and that police had “some persons of interest we’re looking for”. Arron Britton lives a fiveminute walk from the crime scene and regularly passed the victim’s home on his way to the supermarket. “I’ve seen him out and
about. He’s quite a nice guy,” he said. “He’s forever giving away stuff. “Every day he would say ‘hello’ to you if he was out the front.” Romsey Street resident Colin said he’d brought furniture from Mr Matthews and described him as a “no-nonsense, easy-going and quite a character”. Cansu Caglayancay lives on Henry Street and was in shock when she heard the news. “I’ve seen him regularly,” she said. “He used to have lots of people going in and out, I would see lots of different cars there. “It’s so sad. I don’t know what the world’s coming to. “I just feel for the family. “I thought this street was really safe.”

Refugees battle to make their way COMMUNITY
VOICE
Sahema Saberi Greater Dandenong Young Achiever 2013
WOULD you risk your life for a safe haven, in the deep and dark cruel sea, led by smugglers who are only money hungry? I am sure you would to protect your children and family. South-east Melbourne has recently had an immense increase in the number of asylum seekers, settling mainly in Dandenong and its surrounding suburbs. As a community member, I have seen a remarkable improvement in services and support available to these people, which is excellent. Desperate enough as they all are, the group arriving after 13 August 2012 are further isolated by a recent change in immigration policies. By not permitting them the right to work or attend government-funded education, the government is not only acting inhumanely towards these people but unfairly to the rest of Australians by using taxpayers’ money to support them, when they are fit and willing to earn for themselves. The reintroduction of temporary protection visas (TPVs) will not allow these asylum seekers to either travel to see their families or sponsor them in Australia. Although the visa will allow them to work, it will be without a future certainty, as no employers would want to hire a person who they know would not be around for long. This means many of them might have to rely on government Centrelink benefits. Amongst those arriving after the policy change, a large number is the most vulnerable group of a society, the under 18-year-olds. The policy change does not allow a school to keep their asylum seeker students if they turn 18, even if the school wishes to. Excitingly some schools have put their hands
up to advocate for their students, so they can at least finish year 12, not exit schools when they have simply turned 18. But how far can these schools reach to win this basic right of education, we do not know yet. As a volunteer tutor, it’s difficult to assist these students who are unable to attend school when they are capable and willing, simply because their age is now a number 18, not a 17. I often wonder how the government consents to such treatment of young asylum seekers, when we do not treat other teenagers living in Australia like this; even those who are desperately wishing to leave education. Thinking about our job market, with the increasing skilled and professional sectors, we are risking a large number of unemployed lowskilled hands for our own workforce, assuming these people will become part of our working communities when TPVs return in year 2014. Turning 18 or 19-years-old in Australia, in fact any age for an asylum seeker is simply a matter of calculation of the years one has put down on their immigration papers. In countries like Afghanistan where most of the asylum seekers come from for example, at the birth of a child, no birth certificates are issued or an official record of an individual’s existence happens. So these young asylum seekers’ age is probably their mother’s best estimation. A few months back, a morning tabloid newspaper based in Melbourne referred to asylum seekers as “ticking time bombs in our community”, alarming community members who have asylum seekers living in their neighbourhood. As a resident of south-east Melbourne, I have hardly heard of an asylum seeker being involved in a serious offence, an offence that would justify this referral. I then assumed the newspaper was trying to enlighten how these vulnerable asylum seekers need our urgent support and their families need theirs, thus using such terms may alarm the government to decide on their future faster.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Power in the wrong place LOCAL Government Minister Jeanette Powell needs to reconsider her plans to give mayors “tough new powers” to discipline councillors. Many ratepayers who made submissions to the Local Government inquiry, headed by Mr Petro Georgio, last year actually complained that some of our local councillors and mayors had failed because they didn’t really listen to our concerns not because the mayor had no power to deal with recalcitrant councillors. What evidence has Mrs Powell produced from the inquiry to justify her proposed authoritarian reforms? None. Mrs Powell has missed the point - she needs to give ratepayers more power, not the mayor.

TV hoon hunt A BUSINESSMAN has captured hair-raising video footage of a hoon driver’s car losing traction as it circled a roundabout at Fiveways industrial estate in Keysborough. James Kerr III, who runs Red Roo Commercial Environmental Equipment, is installing a $20,000 surveillance suite of nine high-definition CCTV cameras - some of them pointing to Keysborough Avenue which he said has been plagued by hoons for 13 years. Footage shot on one of those permanent cameras midafternoon on 11 January shows a white Skyline sedan without numberplates tearing smoky circuits around a roundabout metres from another car which then exits the junction sideways in a haze of smoke. Mr Kerr hopes neighbouring businesses and Greater Dandenong Council will help create a comprehensive network of cameras and lighting to identify hoons’ cars. “I want hoons to know if they come here that we’ll catch them on camera. “If the council puts a pole up on the roundabout, I’ll put in the camera and I’ll monitor it. “We need bright lighting - without it, we have no chance.” The council has painted line markings to narrow the road, and will install parking-restriction signage to allow police to move congregators away at night. However it has baulked at Mr Kerr’s suggestions for rubber speed cushions and permanent CCTV coverage in the estate. Mayor Jim Memeti said the council found there was “no ma-

A TALL, muscular man with tattoos covering his limbs entered Dandenong Police Station on Tuesday - with a purse-like bag slung across his body. He removed the black satchel when an officer was taking his photograph, but the member asked him to put it back on for an accurate shot of what he was wearing that day. “Yeah, we need your man bag!” another officer joked.

Future builder By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS BACK in 1976, there were no grand designs for then-graduate engineer John Bennie to spend the next 38 years in local government. “I didn’t know local government from any other job,” said Mr Bennie - now Greater Dandenong’s chief executive who was last Australia Day announced as a Public Service Medal recipient for “outstanding public service”. “But civil engineering and local government go very well together.” He has considered moving to other fields but invariably stuck with local government and its underestimated complexity. Greater Dandenong delivers 145 “discrete products”, he said. He sits atop of community services, building and planning, marketing, corporate and finance teams - all needing strategic decisions and management. He can’t do everyone’s job. He believes in getting the right people in the right job, getting out of their way and entrusting them to put their skills and knowledge to use. Having worked at Manningham - a monoculture but a great council to work for, he said - Greater Dandenong’s multiculturalism “adds a great challenge and a great degree of excitement”. It is what attracted him to his present role and still “keeps us on our toes”. Mr Bennie said that since arriving, the council has achieved

BRING home the bacon. That’s the call from Ron Chivers, who’s urging former Dandenong Ham and Bacon employees to help document the factory’s 70-year history. He’s organised a reunion at the Dandenong Worker’s Club for noon on Sunday 16 February. “Ever since we got the heave-ho, nearly every two years - as close to Valentine’s Day as I could get it because I love them all - I used to stick one on,” he said. This time it’s been a little longer between get-togethers, and Mr Chivers said this was most likely the last. “And the main topic of conversation at this is to form some sort of committee, because I really would like to get a working story of the bacon factory to give to the historical society,” he said. Mr Chivers started his time at Dandy Bacon as a maintenance carpenter in 1970. Operations had started at the building about 1912 and there’d been “so many extensions and additions” since. After some hard work “it looked all Mickey Mouse and spic and span” and his attention turned to a new role as social club president. “All these people came into my life,” he said. “Before I realised it, the social club took me over. I forgot about work!” Sandy Riley is helping Mr Chivers organise the event, alongside John Roberts. She

little chipolatas and there’d be a bucket that came around. “We’d just dive our hand in and take some food out.” Mr Chivers is hoping about 70 people will turn out for the event and encouraged former colleagues to call him on 9792 4618 to get involved.

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS
By CASEY NEILL A BLIND girl in a Thai orphanage spent most of her days sitting in a corner before Amy Maidment came to her aid. Ms Maidment works as a paediatric physiotherapist for Vision Australia in Dandenong. “My role involves visiting families in their homes and providing support through the difficult times,” she said. Her passion to help the blind came from her cousin Glen, who has albinism and is legally blind. “Growing up I saw how difficult life was for him, but I also know how much can still be accomplished even if you’re blind,” she said. She became determined to show others with vision impairments just how much they could achieve. Ms Maidment has travelled to northern Thailand three times in the past six years with the Thailand Mission Awareness
Team, volunteering at orphanages and hospitals. “I had been contacted by Agape Orphanage as they now have two blind girls living there,” she said. “One of them, in particular, hasn’t even been walking around and the staff have no idea what to do with her. “She spends most of her days just sitting in a corner by herself.” Late last year she turned to the Rotary Club Dandenong South East for support to visit the orphanage. Ms Maidment asked the group for $1500 for air fares but members raised more than $3000. “Through the Rotary club’s generous support I was also able to organise ongoing tutoring for the girls,” she said. “I felt so honoured to receive support from the Rotary club. “Everyone there was so welcoming and friendly and made
me feel like part of the Rotary family.” She made her trip in late December and it was “better than she could have imagined”. “I explained how important it is to let blind children be independent and do things for themselves,” she said. “I spent most of my time working with one 10-year-old girl. “By the end of the trip she was doing things like jumping on the trampoline, going down slides by herself, swinging on the swings, and climbing on the monkey bars. “This was a big change from before where she would spend all her spare time sitting by herself!” Ms Maidment researched Thai braille and is now creating labels in the language for everyday objects and story books to help the little girl learn. “I hope to return one day,” she said.

COVER STORY
YOUR HUMBLE ABODE AWAITS / 15 MARGA PLACE, KEYSBOROUGH FROM PAGE 1 This Keysborough property is something right off the top shelf. Close to shops, schools, transport and beaches, this is a place that will provide a lifestyle that most only dream about. Looking past the secure lock-up gate in the front, this house greets guests with a modern rendered brick façade complemented by tall red brick pillars which also accommodates the balcony on the first floor - this home is presented with a natural balance of colours and tones with modern appeal in mind. This spacious family home is suited for big families and entertainers. As visitors enter the secured front entrance they’ll be immediately impressed by the beautiful pool surrounded by sandstone paving and enclosed by ultra-modern glass fencing. Then through the front entrance on the right, as visitors stroll past the formal lounge they’ll arrive at the generous open family space. This is the central hub of the home where the family will enjoy each other’s company and create precious memories and moments for the years to come. It has direct access to the alfresco dining/entertaining area. The feature filled kitchen has all the modern day luxuries including a huge island Caesarstone bench-top, five burner gas cooktop, quality stainless steel appliances, plenty of cupboard space and much more - this kitchen was designed to unleash the chef in anyone who sets foot in it. Upstairs is the family haven. Four bedrooms enjoy great views and a private rumpus area that would be ideal as a teenager’s retreat. The sheer size of the master bedroom will have the owners feeling like royalty when they get up every morning and every night before they go to bed. Completing the picture is a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite with double basins and a balcony overlooking the pool. The backyard entertaining set-up completes the impressive picture. The low maintenance covered space provides the perfect platform to entertain and host a family barbecue. Inspect before it’s snapped up for good!

or ulcerative colitis, or have previously had special types of polyps, called adenomas, in the bowel. There is no single cause of colon cancer. Nearly all colon cancers begin as non-cancerous (benign) polyps, which slowly develop into cancer. Bowel polyps are small growths on the lining of the bowel wall. They are common, especially as people age. Polyps are usually non-cancerous. However, some have the potential to develop into bowel cancer in the future. Colonoscopy is currently the best way of detecting and the only means of removing polyps from the bowel. About half of all Australians are likely to develop a bowel polyp during their lifetime, but the majority of these remain undetected. If polyps are left untreated, a significant percentage of polyps will develop into bowel cancer. Although polyps are very common, they rarely produce symptoms and usually are discovered by chance at the time of colonoscopy. A National

EARLY DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF SKIN CANCER IS THE KEY PROMPT, THOROUGH EXAMINATION AT REASONABLE COST WWW.SUNPATROLSCC.COM.AU
1107739-LB49-13
BOWEL cancer is the most common internal cancer, with about 13,000 new cases each year. Each week about 80 Australians die from bowel cancer. It is the second most common cause of cancer death in Australia. Bowel cancer can be treated successfully if detected in its early stages, but currently fewer than 40 per cent of bowel cancers are detected early. Colonoscopy offers the best chance of early detection and cure. Bowel cancer can develop with few, if any, early warning symptoms. Symptoms of bowel cancer can include bleeding from the rectum or any sign of blood after a bowel motion; a recent and persistent change in bowel habit, for example looser bowel motions, severe constipation and/or needing to go to the toilet more than usual; unexplained tiredness (a symptom of anaemia); and abdominal pain. The risk is greater for people who are aged 50 years and over - risk increases with age - who have a significant family history of bowel cancer or polyps, have had an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease

Night time break-in
Good Samaritan beaten By CASEY NEILL A MAN’S calls for help lured a Dandenong man into an armed robbery late last month. Police have now released images of a man and woman they want to speak to about the incident. The 25-year-old victim was walking along Mason Street, Dandenong, from Dandenong Railway Station, about 12.30am on 20 January when he heard the cries for assistance. But when he found the man who was the source of the calls in a vacant block, a woman walked behind him and pushed him to the ground. Police said the man then tried to grab the victim’s bag, during a strug-
gle punched him several times in the head and threatened him with a bottle. The victim let go of his bag and his attackers fled the scene in a vehicle. Greater Dandenong CIU Acting Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said incidents like this were “pretty rare”. “It’s clearly an orchestrated scenario,” he said. The man is described as aged between 35 and 40, about 193 centimetres tall and well-built with short, brown hair. The woman is described as aged between 40 and 50 years of age and about 165cm tall with shoulder-length brown hair. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.

It’s no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France. The most famous of Valentine symbols is, of course, Cupid who was known for piercing the hearts of his victims with arrows that caused them to fall in love. This mischievous little winged child was known as Eros in ancient Greece and was the youngest son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. To the Romans he was Cupid.

ary, the eve of the Roman holiday Lupercalia.(In early Rome, fierce wolves roamed the forests and they called upon their God Lupercus to protect them. A festival in honour of Lupercus was celebrated on 15 February.) Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured. According to another legend, Valentine actually sent the first ‘valentine’ greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed ‘From

EVERY February, across the country and around the world, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St Valentine. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage. Valentine, incensed at this injustice, defied Claudius and went on performing marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered he be arrested, imprisoned and put to death. Valentine was beheaded on 14 Febru-

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Working hard for dream By CASEY NEILL AMIR Mohammadi was 12 months old when his parents fled war-torn Afghanistan to seek safety in Iran. Today he’s living in Dandenong, following his dream career and eating Four’N Twenty pies for morning tea. The Mohammadi family lived in Iran as refugees for 16 years, with no identity papers or access to proper schooling. Amir started working to support his family at age 14 - first as a labourer, then selling clothes and finally milling and pressing metal in a steel factory. In 2010, when he was just 16, his parents gathered their savings and sent Amir to Australia by boat for the chance of a future. He sought asylum, spent time in detention on Christmas Island and in Perth, and was granted a refugee visa in June 2012. After a year studying English, he heard about a new English as a Second Language (ESL) supported Certificate II in Engineering for students with migrant and refugee backgrounds. South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN) developed the Department of Employmentfunded course in response to a shortage of young people seeking engineering apprenticeships. The full-time 18-week course was a partnership between Apprenticeships Group Australia (AGA) and Chisholm Institute. Amir jumped at the chance to return to the manufacturing industry and working with metal, and was among the top two students in his class. After graduating he was recruited through Australian Industry Group Training to join Rowville company Sondex as an engineering mechanical apprentice (fitter and turner). “The environment is pretty different. Here is very safe,” he said. Weekdays, Amir works 8am to 4pm at Sondex then 5.30pm to as late as midnight delivering pizzas - all so he can send money home to support his family. He encouraged fellow refugees to

pursue “anything they like”. “If they want to get their dream they have to work hard for a while - not forever and then your dream comes true,” he said. Sondex service and parts manager Casey Gray said Amir was one of the best guys the company had. “His English skills are well above what we expected when we took him on,” he said. “And he’s coming out of his shell.” Kim Miller, responsible for Sondex’s quality assurance and human resources, said the company would happily take on another apprentice through the program.
Bikies linked to crossing works THE State Government will not confirm whether it will retain a sub-contracted labour hire and traffic management firm that was last week linked with criminal bikie gangs on the Springvale level crossing removal project. Last week the Age newspaper claimed KPI Constructions hired two outlaw bikie figures and several of underworld figure Mick Gatto’s relatives at the level-crossing project at a rate of up to $45 an hour. A government spokeswoman said KPI Constructions’s employees worked in gatecontrol positions during times of significant vehicle movements in and out of the construction site. She said KPI was hired as a sub-contractor through the “same selection process as other sub-contractors”. Last week, KPI Constructions director Kevin Ramsay said claims that his company had links to bikie gangs was “a lot of BS”. “We are not affiliated with bikies or anything like that at all.” He said the claims had “not as yet” affected his business. “If I was guilty I would be worried.” - CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS
SELLEN senior partnership broker Katrina Peach said the group networked with secondary colleges and language schools to put the program together. It aims to provide students with engineering vocabulary and life skills, and an opportunity to prove their motivation and ability. She said three groups had completed the course so far, the retention rate had steadily improved and employers had been “extremely happy” with the graduates. Contact SELLEN on 9794 6921 or visit sellen.org.au for more information about the program.
Word on the street for business grants BUSINESS and trader associations can get their hands on up to $20,000. Applications for the State Government’s revamped Streetlife program are now open. Innovation, Services and Small Business Minister Louise Asher last week said improvements to the funding program followed consultation with stakeholders and feedback from MPs. “Streetlife provides grants to
improve core retail management skills and develop local marketing and customer attraction strategies to boost foot traffic, sales, investment and employment,” she said. “The Streetlife program will now be offered on an ongoing basis and will no longer have a fixed closing date. “This approach will ensure that applicants can apply at a time that suits both their budget and their project schedule rather than at a fixed time.
“It also allows the assessment panel to provide feedback directly to applicants where applications may need to be developed further.” Established business and trader associations can now apply for grants of up to $20,000, up from $5000 in earlier rounds, provided they can match 20 per cent of the grant. “Existing grants of up to $5000 for working groups looking to establish new business and trader associa-
tions will continue,” Ms Asher said. She said council-owned retail precincts could now apply for Streetlife funding through their local council. “Streetlife will also focus more strongly on supporting productivity and skills, with particular emphasis on digital marketing, retail systems management, customer service and financial management,” she said. Visit www.business.vic.gov.au/ streetlife for more information.
Striking cemetery workers bury the hatchet SIX months of strike action at the Springvale and Bangholme cemeteries is over. A pay and conditions dispute between the Australian Workers Union (AWU) and Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (SMCT) had prompted rolling stoppages at Springvale Botanical Cemetery and Bunurong Memorial Park since 16 August last year. Late last year, workers were walking off the job a couple of times a week at each site.
But AWU Victorian secretary Ben Davis last week told the Journal there was “no industrial action going or planned”. “Courtesy of Fair Work, before Christmas we came up with package that’s broadly acceptable to workers and management,” he said. “We’re just nutting out the finer details.” Mr Davis said that under the deal on the table when the action started, workers would have lost public holiday allowances and 13
of their 26 rostered days off for a 4 per cent per year pay rise. He said the lengthy industrial action, which capped off 20 months of negotiations, was because “traditions are so entrenched”. “It’s been a bit of a slog,” he said. When the action started, SMCT CEO Jonathon Tribe said the trust was determined to re-shape to be more responsive to the community’s needs. “We will do everything we can to
minimise any disruption to our community,” he said. In late August Mr Tribe said graves were being left uncovered and families were experiencing anxiety, with some waiting up to 10 days to bury loved ones instead of the usual three to five. Mr Davis strenuously denied the action affected the public and said the union had to give SMCT three clear days’ notice before any action which allowed the trust to schedule around it.

A new library will be built next to a refurbished city hall and council chambers building.
Civic works part of plan By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS SPRINGVALE’S civic centre and meeting rooms will be retained but its administrative offices will make way for a plaza and new library under a council masterplan released late last year. The civic precinct project is not expected to be completed for another 10 to 15 years. Councillor Sean O’Reilly said the “early” masterplan release would allow the council to start small parts of the project in the short-term. It would also make the project more attractive for state and federal funding, he said. “If we just rely solely on council money, we will be waiting four or five years before we start.” The council is “stitched up” in loans for the Municipal Building Project in Dandenong, leaving no room to borrow for the $35-45 million Springvale project until 2017. The planned sell-off of the former council depot site would not be enough to offset the proj-
ect’s cost. Cr O’Reilly said the prospect of state and federal funding was “highly variable”. In the meantime, there may be “smaller works” such as a Grace Park Avenue playground and converting the site’s “underutilised” open space into parkland, Cr O’Reilly said. In the 2013-14 mid-year budget, $50,000 was allocated for improving the site’s City Hall sound system. During community consultation, there was strong public support for parks and open space on the site. The council plans to retain and refurbish the city hall and supper room, retain the council chamber building for community meetings and council customer service and to build a larger, modern library and community building. Cr Roz Blades said she was pleased with the retention of most of the buildings as well as the extension of open space. The “best-of-the-best” library was recognition that the
existing library was one of the state’s busiest, she said. She hoped the facility would include child care and more computers and technology for students. The council’s administrative building, to be vacated early next year, will be demolished. Plans for community groups to use the office space prior to demolition are uncertain. Cr Peter Brown said local groups were expecting the council to pay for refitting and subsidising the building’s substantial heating costs, which was “not shaping as cost-effective for the council”. Cr O’Reilly said the project signalled the council’s “commitment” to investing in parts of the municipality outside Dandenong. He said there was an urgent need for more public transport, child care and family services in Keysborough which is projected to increase by 20,000 residents - double its current population over the next five years.
Police are right down their alley POLICE are turning to bowling to connect with Greater Dandenong’s youth. Officers and Noble Park English Language School students and teachers hit the bowling alley as part of the Youth Leadership Program, strengthening relationships between police and young people. Victoria Police’s New and Emerging Communities Liaison Officer Endalkatchew Gage has been co-ordinating the program since it was developed in 2010.
“The program enables Greater Dandenong’s newlysettled youth to build important networks which they can use to find employment and get access to service providers,” he said. “It works in two ways - police are able to learn about the history and culture of those involved in the program, and the youth get to understand the role of police in the community. “The program really sets up a foundation for strong and ongoing partnerships.”
Each program runs for 10 weeks, with a different theme explored each week - from public speaking to the role of police in Victoria, individuals’ rights and responsibilities, leadership styles, conflict resolution and road safety. Programs are generally run as a partnership with local schools and community groups, with a majority of the sessions held in the evening. For more information about how to get involved, call Endalkatchew Gage on 9767 7530.
Scooters get boost while on a roll SCOOTER and wheelchair users can now recharge their transport with ease. City of Greater Dandenong has signed up to the Recharge Scheme to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It provides power points for recharging scooters and wheelchairs, and more than 1000 businesses and 75 councils have joined the scheme since it
started in February 2006. “The last thing we want is people who use electric scooters and wheelchairs getting stranded due to a flat battery,” the council’s community services director Mark Doubleday said. “Having locations around the city where people can charge their wheelchairs which assists in reducing the isolation often felt by people with a disability.”
The charging stations are at Springvale Library, Noble Park Aquatic Centre (NPAC), Parkmore’s customer service centre, Springers Leisure Centre, Oasis Leisure Centre, the Drum Theatre and Springvale Town Hall. Recharge Scheme stickers will be placed on power points dedicated to the service and on the windows of participating businesses.

Chameleon that doesn’t change cast By JARROD POTTER SHE’S known as the Chameleon. Easily adaptable to whatever role there is to fill, Dandenong Rangers basketballer Alison Downie has been happy to alter her game to the needs of the team rather than her own needs as a player. That dogged, team-oriented determination had guided the 29-year-old veteran through 299 matches in the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) and led her into her 300th match to gain WNBL life member status. It all started as a 16-year-old with her father, John, pushing her to move to Dandenong to continue her rise through the sport. “Dad was the one who pushed me to come to Dandenong when I was playing juniors at Sandringham, even though I didn’t want to but father knows best,” Downie said. “He wanted me to move because Dandenong was a better program at the time and we just missed on VC in qualifying - he said if you want to go anywhere in basketball you’ve got to move and that was top-age 16s.” Despite starting her career at the turn of the century - first playing as a teenager in 2000/01 - it hasn’t felt like a lengthy WNBL journey for the star forward. “It doesn’t really feel like I’ve played that long and then I think about it, ‘I’ve played 300 games that makes me old’ - because I don’t feel old,” Downie said. “But then when I think about my age, I’m older than most of them by quite a bit.” The calibre of her team mates and opponents has impressed significantly upon her, but most of all the calibre of Dandenong staff which helped her through the moments of self-doubt. “It hasn’t changed a whole lot - I think we
went through a little bit of a down time for a patch when we weren’t so successful, but we’ve built ourselves back up and it’s a good place,” Downie said. “I’ve played all my games here so that means a lot. “I love Dandenong and there have been times in my career where I haven’t had a lot of time and haven’t necessarily gotten along too well with the coaches or I’ve had great players ahead of me. “So there’s been times were I thought about giving it away or going somewhere else but the support that Dandenong gave me, the club and girls, particularly Charles Ryan - he told me to stick with it and it would come.” Charles Ryan, who passed away in 2011 from lymphoma, was a voice guiding Downie to stay invested and keep with her basketball, which has continued in the years since his death. “Chuck was a big influence of me staying and that’s something the club is still like with the board… they all come up to me and say they love that I’m still playing here so that’s nice,” Downie said. Adapting from a ‘run out and annoy people’ role as a younger player to filling the breach at centre and power-forward and locking down players in the opposing end, Downie has done it all with the Rangers. “I’ve had to adapt my game to all the different coaches I’ve had, just to get that game,” Downie said. “The one thing I’ve always had was the athleticism and was told to use that. “But I’ve had to be a scorer and a defender when Macca (Emily McInerny) was gone. There’s teams where I’ve had to score and haven’t had to score. “The roles have changed but I guess that happens with everyone.”

Hard road home By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG had to struggle to finally put away Canberra 89-80 in Alison Downie’s 300th WNBL match. Sprinting out to a 15-0 lead half way through the first term, Dandenong had the upper hand until Canberra playmakers Abby Bishop (26 points, 17 rebounds) and Nat Hurst (24 points) started to find their range. The long game kept Canberra in the hunt through the middle terms as Hurst (6/9 3PM) burdened the workload. Up the other end Kayla Pedersen shone for the Rangers, taking on Bishop, Alex Bunton and Carley Mijovic at various point and making her intent clear with 21 points and nine rebounds. Leilani Mitchell (25 points, six assists) led the scoresheet for the Rangers while fittingly the ball ended up in Downie’s hands on the final buzzer, but the fairy tale three-point shot didn’t land. Alice Kunek (18 points)
and Jenna O’Hea (13) also made their impact felt in the final score. Dandenong coach Mark Wright said it was a final of sorts with Canberra more than capable of being a final’s team. “There was nothing between us and as much as they had to play a game last night, we had to travel so it was tough but good to get the win,” Wright said. “They’re one of the teams that probably should’ve made the finals but didn’t and that’s why they’re a hard team to beat.” The run home for Dandenong is a mini-finals series with matches against two finalists and the road-hardened Adelaide, but Wright thinks its perfect practice for the actual final’s series ahead. “Going into finals that will be perfect for us,” Wright said, “Bendigo, Melbourne, Adelaide - I think if we can get through that and come out unscathed, I think we’re going to be mentally and physically ready going into finals.”
I’ve played with and the support that Dandenong has and the coaches so I can’t complain can I?” Dandenong coach Mark Wright said having Downie stay with the club for her whole career is a credit to her loyalty and ability to become what the team needs of her. “Massive - that’s against Canberra - in her 200th (match) she had 27 and maybe it will be Groundhog Day,” Wright said. “She’s ridiculously important - to have a player that’s so loyal and so adaptable - I call her the chameleon cause she can change. “There are not many players that can take it in and I think that she’s wonderful.”

Buckley Ridges set the record straight By JARROD POTTER
Alice Kunek fights for a possession 114022 Picture: JARROD POTTER For the first-half of their round 17 double-header, Dandenong made light work of wooden spooners West Coast with a 99-61 win on Friday night. The Waves fought hard throughout the first half to keep the margin to eight at the main break, but the Rangers powered ahead after half-time to run out 38-point winners. Alice Kunek (25 points) continued her stellar January while Jenna O’Hea (22
points) and Leilani Mitchell (13 points, 10 rebounds) also seized big numbers in the win. Gippsland rising star Rachel Antoniadou (2 points) recorded her points in the league, hitting 2/2 from the free-throw line. Dandenong faces its toughest basketball weekend this season as it faces third placed Melbourne on Friday night at the State Basketball Centre before squaring off with ladderleaders Bendigo at home on Saturday night.
BUCKLEY Ridges (3/168) hoisted the DDCA Twenty20 premiership for the sixth time on Wednesday night, knocking off Berwick (6/166). On the alternate Buckley Ridges ground Wilson Oval, Berwick went about belting a few runs into the ledger quickly as Bathiya Perera (73 not out) anchored the innings with an impressive half-century including five sixes. With strong support from Nirmal Wickramaratne (44) the Bears managed to set 167 for victory with Buckley Ridges’ Jeremy Kuru (3/17) the best of the bowlers. With DDCA Turf 1 2012/13 premiership hero Daniel Watson (21) back from Premier Cricket duties with Casey-South Melbourne, the
Ridges got off to a good start, with Watson and Antonio Greenidge (32) adding 52 for the first wicket before both men fell rapidly as Adam Watson (2/24) and Ryan Crawford (1/19) snared the scalps. From there Buckley Ridges’ all-round import Luke Fletcher (66 not out) punished Berwick and lifted six sixes en route to chasing down the target with two overs in arrears. The DDCA T20 competition is only in its eighth season, yet Buckley Ridges has won six premierships (with Berwick taking out the other two), which is a remarkable effort. Buckley Ridges won $1100 and the DDCA Twenty20 premiership cup while Berwick settling for the runners-up prize of $700.

Xylia is out of the woods By JASON ADAMS XYLIA Allen underlined her status as one of the best greyhounds in Australia last Thursday night at Sandown, winning by over five lengths in a scintillating time of 33.94sec. The triple Group 1 winner was slow to begin though, but found a clear passage on the rail, finding the lead first time past the post. Handler Joe Briffa was pleased with the run, and believes there is still some improvement left in her. “I actually expected her to go quicker, though I think the track was a bit slow tonight,’’ said Briffa. “She pulled up really well, she was nearly dragging me back to the kennels after the race.’’ Her win elevated her prize money total to an astonishing $470,780, and at not even three-years-of-age it raises the question of whether she is capable of breaking the million dollar barrier with so much racing still ahead of her. Xylia Allen is a specialist around Sandown Park, having won six of 13 starts including the Group 1 Macro
Meats Sapphire Crown and Group 3 Macro Meats Shootout. Her win last Thursday night was her first step up in distance since last year’s Super Stayers in March. Her next stop - the invitation only Group 1 Rookie Rebel at The Meadows in two week’s time - is a race that will be sure to test her ability against Australia’s best middle-distance greyhounds all competing for the $75,000 up for grabs. “She will definitely be heading to the Rookie Rebel, though we will give her another start at Sandown to get her to peak fitness’’ If she is successful over the 600m journey, another step up in distance could be on the agenda, and with the RSN Sandown Cup just four months away the possibilities are endless. Xylia Allen was recently announced Sandown’s Greyhound of the Year and her sensational 2013 also earned her a spot as one of the three finalists for the Victorian Greyhound of The Year, with the winner set to be announced this Friday night.
Rocketing in at under 34 seconds to take a massive win on Thursday night was Xylia Allen. 114017 Picture: SUPPLIED

Panthers become the pawns By JARROD POTTER
Brett Forsyth strikes a rare boundary for Dandenong on Saturday against Melbourne Picture: JARROD POTTER Uni. 114018
A DOGGED innings from Brett Forsyth was the only shining light of a lacklustre day for Dandenong (133) chasing Melbourne Uni (8/314). Melbourne Uni, fighting to leapfrog Dandenong en route to the top eight, tore through Dandenong piece by piece as wickets fell rapidly. Tom Donnell (13) was out early to Steve Reid (4/34), leaving the scoring to Charith Cooray (19) and Forsyth to knock in a 45-run partnership. Forsyth (52) notched his half-century - his first since his 153 against Essendon in November - but once he fell at 3/97, the wheels truly fell off the Panthers’ wagon.
WHAT’S ON this week
Next bowler up to the mark to terrorise the Panthers was Victorian and Australian representative Fawad Ahmed (4/54), who put Dandenong through the ringer by sending four Panthers back to the pavilion. You couldn’t keep Ahmed out of the match as he rattled off a throw to run out Cameron Forsyth (28), the next best score besides his older brother. From 3/121, the remaining scalps were taken cleanly by Melbourne to see off 7/12 and leave Dandenong all out for 133. Dandenong sits six points outside the top eight in 13th place and will need to pick up the points against second placed Footscray-Edgewater to remain in finals contention.
Flexing their muscles at Noble Park By JARROD POTTER NOBLE Park (5/215) maintained its place in the VSDCA East/West top four with a 5/215 win over Yarraville. Chasing a reasonable target set by Yarraville (8/181) the week before, Noble Park took to the target quickly and powerfully as the Edmunds, Dean (22) and Ben (38) put on 59 for the first wicket. From there Marasinghe Perera (85) was too strong to stop as he muscled runs at will in tandem with veteran all-rounder Johan Vorster (49). Noble Park reeled in the runs with 17 overs to spare. The fourth placed Noble Park faces Croydon at home this round with a chance to all but secure their place in the finals.

Buckley’s chance… oh really By JARROD POTTER BUCKLEY Ridges take a bow - any side that can chase 334 deserves serious applause.
BUCKLEY RIDGES v COOMOORA NOT daunted by a monstrous total set by Coomoora (7/333) - Buckley Ridges (8/334) would have celebrated long into Saturday night (or Sunday morning) after one of the bigger chases in recent DDCA history. Paul Rudd (106) led from the top, smashing 16 boundaries and two sixes in his century with critical support coming from Antonio Greenidge (51). Rudd was run out at 5/232, leaving a lot of work for the lower order to take the points. Rob Johnston (2/64) and Lance Baptist (2/26) kept things tight for Coomoora with the ball, but Tim Bacic (2/104) copped the brunt of the Ridges’ attack from his 16 overs. The lower order kept the pace up with Luke Fletcher (51 not out) knocking in his second match-winning half-century in a week, after guiding the Ridges’ Twenty20 premiership chase on Wednesday night. Ben Watson (32) and Matt Goodwright (14) belted crucial sixes out of Park Oval to help the Ridges make their ground with only two balls to spare in the day.
PARKFIELD v NARRE WARREN THE battle of first versus worst panned out to the script as Parkfield (178) cantered home against Narre Warren (87 and 0/36). Steve Spoljaric (2/7) locked down the Magpies for eight overs, with six maidens, leading the way for a rampage from Travis D’Souza (5/29). D’Souza earned his first five-wicket haul in the DDCA including the big wickets of Narre imports Kaushalya Weeraratne (12) and Pramod Liyanagamage (2). Samiddha Gallage (2/31) also came to the party and took home a couple of scalps.
HALLAM KALORA PARK v SPRINGVALE SOUTH HALLAM Kalora Park (186) could not overcome a monster total from Springvale South (6/363) as the Bloods import seamer Ruwantha Kellepotha (6/87) rattled through the home side. Kellepotha claimed his second five-wicket haul in as many weeks as he worked his way down the Hallam attack. Rhys Serpanchy (48) and Luke Byron (49) both lost their wickets on the verge of half centuries and from there the lower order failed to
find any teeth. Aaron Morrison (3/57) held down an end and bagged three wickets for his troubles from 28 overs.
LYNDALE v BERWICK GUIDING Berwick (5/155) to a comfortable victory over the rapidly sliding Lyndale (153) was Sri Lankan great Thilan Samaraweera (67 not out). Samaraweera guided the knock and batted sensibly around the rest of the Berwick order as Gavan Wills (35), Darren de Souza (19) and Nirmal Wickramaratne (15) helped him rotate the singles. Michael Gallagher (3/26) toiled to get his wickets while Tharanga Lakshita (0/36) was the economic man with 10 maidens in his 24 overs. Liam Mara (2/32) also jagged a couple of wickets for Lyndale, which slips to sixth on the DDCA Turf 1 ladder, five points out of the final four.
HEINZ SOUTHERN DIST v NORTH DANDENONG ADAM Semmens (100 not out) was the chief destroyer of North Dandenong (98 and 122) as Heinz Southern Districts (7/191dec and 1/31) successfully struck an outright victory. Semmens blasted anything in his wheelhouse as the Cobras looked to declare early, and 11 fours and two sixes later, Semmens raised his bat for an impressive first Turf 1 century. With Semmens’ century in the bag, the Cobras went to work dismissing North Dandenong on the cheap. The Northerners couldn’t hold their spot at the crease as Caleb Millman (39) and Clay McCartney (21) top-scored from the middle/lower order. Paul Stockdale (5/47) ripped through the Norths’ batting, leaving 30 to chase which Keith Perumal (24 not out) belted home in 5.5 overs for a handy outright victory and 10 points.
DANDENONG WEST v MORDIALLOC HOLDING out Mordialloc (98) is a mean feat, but Dandenong West (126 and 7/146) claimed a low-scoring thriller on the back of Peter Atkinson’s (6/44) bowling bonanza. ATKINSON rattled through the Bloodhounds top order, stunting Mordialloc’s big three - Stuart Squires (3), Leon Kennedy (1) and Tim Richardson (14). From there Shaun Weir (3/15) got in on the action to restrict Mordialloc to a scant 98 form 40.5 overs. Dandenong West batted out the rest of the afternoon to avoid any outright surprises with Gehan Perera (69 not out) the best from the West.

MERCEDES-BENZ has added yet another model to its AMG hotrod range. The hot version of the CLAClass is the 45 AMG model. The CLA 45 AMG is a great looking machine with a neatly integrated body kit to enhance its highperformance credentials. The slope to the roof at the rear is a major factor in this being one of the most aerodynamic mass production cars ever built. Though every external panel of the CLA 45 coupe is different from those on the A 45 hatch, the two vehicles share pretty much the same overall style. Our red test car had black trim that was highlighted by raised red stitching which looked just right for a car like this. The AMG engineers have squeezed 265 kilowatts of power from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder highpressure turbo-petrol engine. That’s an amazing 355 horsepower in muscle cars terms, and the CLA 45 AMG is most definitely a compact muscle car. In normal driving all the power goes only through the front wheels, the rear wheels are brought into ac-
tion within a tenth of a second when the computer senses the front tyres are suffering from engine overload. Driven correctly any high-performance car is safer than the standard model on which it’s based. Avoiding crashes and/or minimising their dangers is carried out by everything from driver drowsiness warnings to radar detection of potential crashes. There’s automatic lane keeping and blind spot warning systems. A complete range of occupant protection devices ensured the CLA-Class had no trouble getting a maximum five-star rating in barrier crash testing. As can be the case in any highly tuned performance car the CLA 45 AMG can be temperamental at very low speeds. The engine takes a few moments to get wound up to decent revs and the double-clutch gearbox can take its time as well. We were extremely impressed by the road grip and exceptional cornering ability. This car has the sort of cornering grip, steering wheel feel and throttle control that is guaranteed to bring smiles to the faces of all of us who really love driving. Yet it retains more comfort than you would expect from a highly-
