î Ž Mother driven back by flames as she tries to save trapped son...
Heartbreaking By CASEY NEILL A DANDENONG toddler has died in a fire, locked inside his Potter Street home. Detective Sergeant Lionel Joseph said the three-year-old boy’s mother “left the premises to attend to some innocent duties outside� about 10.30am last Friday, 7 February. “As she did, she chose to leave her son inside, the door locked and secured to prevent him from coming out in the heat,� he said. “After about 10 minutes of her be-
ing outside, and attending to some moving some furniture around and rubbish, she looked at the premises and observed fire and smoke coming from the unit.� Det Sgt Joseph said the single mother was unable to get back inside. “The fire had taken hold and the heat and the smoke was just too strong for her to gain access,� he said. “She’s obviously fairly distraught at the moment. She’s assisting investigators with their inquiries. “She’s not physically injured.� He said neighbours observed the
fire, rushed to assist and called emergency services. He described those who assisted as “heroic�. “Again, they were unable to gain access to the premises, both from the front door and the rear,� he said. “The fire brigade extinguished the fire and located the deceased boy. “The child will be taken away to the Coroner’s Court for a post-mortem to determine the cause of death.� Det Sgt Joseph said it was too early to determine the fire’s cause and origin. “We’re appealing for anyone who
did assist or was in the vicinity or did pass by at the time of the fire to contact us or Crime Stoppers with any additional information available so we can piece together what happened,� he said. He said any death resulting from a fire was a traumatic experience for emergency services personnel. “A child compounds the effects,� he said. “It certainly highlights the message – don’t leave your children home alone, locked in, whether it be a house or a car.�
Sharon Harris lives in nearby Carson Street and was at her letterbox when she saw “huge, big red flames� coming from the building. “I saw them bring the lady out and take her to a car,� she said. “I knew something was wrong because she was very upset. “I was worried because it’s mostly older people or younger families in those units. “The roof was just caving in.� Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

Crawlers get stung By CASEY NEILL GUTTER-CRAWLERS caught asking police officers posing as prostitutes for sex in Dandenong will cough up $4000 in fines. Eight offenders pleaded guilty to solicitation at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 6 February. No convictions were recorded, but the men were ordered to pay a fine of about $500 each. Three other cases were adjourned until 5 March. The charges stemmed from sting operations on Scott Street on 12 September and 14 November last year involving police wearing recording equipment and acting as street sex workers. Police arrested a 32-year-old man on 12 September after he approached an undercover officer on Scott Street and agreed to pay $50 for oral sex. He pleaded guilty and asked for leni-
ency because it was his first offence. The court heard the painter and his wife now had a two-day-old baby. Magistrate Greg Connellan said the man could be fined 10 penalty units or sentenced to one month in prison under the Sex Workers Act. “One of its major thrusts for a number of reasons is to encourage people to use brothels rather than engage on the street,” he said. He said protecting sex workers and public safety were two other aims. “They’re also directed at the mix between sex work and drug work and supply,” he said. “It’s a significant offence and it’s directed toward important public policy purposes.” Magistrate Connellan fined the man $600 and did not record a conviction. A second offender, 28, also pleaded
guilty, via an interpreter and lawyer Bilal Amani. The prosecution alleged he engaged a police officer posing as a sex worker on Scott Street about noon on 14 November. The court heard he asked for sex, and suggested $50 when asked how much he was willing to pay. Mr Amani said his client arrived in Australia as a refugee about 18 months ago, had no family or friends here and lived with three other refugees. Mr Amani said his client had not received proper support to integrate into the community and didn’t understand the laws. “He understands now that it’s illegal and I’ve explained to him why it’s not allowed on the streets,” he said. Magistrate Connellan did not record a conviction, on the condition that the man not commit any further offences before 6
August, and pay $100 to the court fund to assist people in need. He also required him to seek support from the Southern Migrant Resource Centre (SMRC) and provide the court with a letter from the centre confirming this. “If you’re caught soliciting prostitutes you’ll be charged and thrown before a court,” Sergeant Pat Green said. “Summonses will be delivered to home addresses.” He said the zero tolerance approach would continue until the behaviour was gone. “The police are working with other government agencies to look at the problem from a different angle, not only from enforcement,” he said. Sgt Green urged people to anonymously report prostitution to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or call him at Dandenong Police Station on 9767 7444.

Police want to speak with Laini Diamante.
Police call for kidnap hunt help POLICE are appealing for help to find a woman involved in a kidnapping who is believed to be living in Dandenong. Monash detectives are investigating the alleged kidnapping of a man and a woman from premises on Dandenong Road in Clayton about 7.30am on Sunday 19 January. They arrested five people in relation to the incident between 26 January and 3 February and charged them with kidnapping, blackmail, robbery, intentionally causing injury and other associated charges. A Noble Park man, 18, a Dandenong man, 24, a Noble Park woman, 25, a Coburg man, 25, and a Cheltenham woman, 23, were remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 22 April. Police also arrested a 21-year-old Dandenong man after he was intercepted in the victim’s car two days later. Detectives want help to find 21-year-old Laini Diamante so they can question her. Phone triplezero or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Bail refused after accused man fails to turn up to bashing hearing A MAN was refused bail after earlier failing to appear in court over public drinking, theft and the brutal bashing of a female good Samaritan at Dandenong Park last year. Jang Bir, 22, of Endeavour Hills was the subject of four outstanding arrest warrants when he fronted Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday. Police informant Senior Constable Lara Murray of Greater Dandenong Crime Investigation Unit told the court that Bir had been part of a group drinking session from mid-afternoon to late at night when the bashing occurred in Dandenong Park on 14 March. The victim suffered a broken left eye-socket, two broken teeth, a broken little finger and multiple bruising and swelling as a result of the attack, she said. The victim, a nurse in her 40s, had earlier stopped to inquire into the well-being of an unconscious female at the scene. She was told to leave but later returned, asking if the drinkers had checked if the woman was

Senior Constable Murray told the court Bir had been taken to Dandenong police station for being drunk and disorderly in a public place more than 50 times. He failed to appear to answer charges at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 8 October, his defence lawyer last Monday claiming Bir had been bashed with a bottle six days beforehand. In arguing for her client’s bail, the lawyer said Bir was still young and had no prior convictions for personal violence.
He had just started treatment at Victorian Rehabilitation Centre for a brain injury, “serious abrasions” and a “serious fracture” to his left leg, suffered after a car hit him as a pedestrian on 14 December, she said. Magistrate Julie O’Donnell ruled Bir’s health issues didn’t outweigh the four outstanding warrants and the “particularly serious” alleged assault. Bir was remanded in custody until he appears at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 17 February.

breathing and had vital signs. Senior Constable Murray told the court that Bir then allegedly punched the victim in the face. Members of the group then stomped and kicked the victim’s head as she lay on the ground. As she tried to crawl away, the victim was dragged by her hair back into the fray. An eye-witness observed the victim bleeding from her head, Senior Constable Murray said. The bashing allegedly occurred 10 days after magistrate Greg Connellan bailed Bir for public drinking and theft offences, ordering him to complete a Salvation Army positive-lifestyle program. He was later dismissed from the weekly program for non-attendance.

Uniting Church lives up to its name TRINITY Uniting Church in Dandenong has played a leading role in my life. I attended services in the Scott Street church and my first marriage to Ronald Kenneth (Ron) Stork took place in the church on my 24th birthday. My late daughter Melvena Kaye Stork was christened in the church and sadly, after her death, following 19 operations in 19 years for cancer, her funeral service was also in the church. The church started in a blacksmith’s shop before worship moved to the present site at the corner of Scott and Robinson streets. The Presbyterians also established a congregation in the early days of Dandenong, and in 1887 both communities opened brick places of worship. With the growth of Dandenong from a sleepy market town to a bustling city with a multicultural population, I believe the churches have met God’s challenge to present the gospel in meaningful ways to different communities.
MY VOICE A MOMENT WITH
MARG STORK A veritable United Nations of faiths worship at the church and use its various buildings for fellowship and special celebrations. A Fijian congregation has worshipped there for 22 years, with weekly services conducted in the Fijian language. The Cook Island fellowship, a group affiliated with the Cook Island Christian Church, also meets weekly for worship and activities. The average weekly attendance is 60, with up to 200 people attending special functions and feasts. Five years ago, a Hindi language group began conducting Sunday services and at his regular Sunday 10am service, Minister Upwee Tring leads
worshipers from 17 different countries including Sri Lanka, Korea, Germany, various parts of Africa and Cambodia. “We also have very good relations with an Arabic church which meets here every Sunday at 6pm,” said Reverend Tring, who himself was born in Indonesia. Rev Tring believes one of Dandenong’s great strengths is its cultural diversity, reflected in the wonderful array of people from all over the world who share Trinity’s historic space. “We’ve recently had a lot of refugees from Iran come to our fellowship meetings. I pick a topic, for example, how do you see your purpose in life, and starting from there, people share their own beliefs and listen to one another and then pray together. I really enjoy the discussion. People are very open about their spirituality. “In Dandenong we really are at the forefront of interfaith gatherings. That different cultural and belief stystems and live and work together is quite special.”
Trinity Uniting Church, Dandenong. An open door meal and Bible study evening is held each Friday at the church from 6.30pm. The Interfaith Network of The City of Greater Dandenong last week celebrated its 200th meeting. See page 8. Appeal for school uniforms At the start of each new school year, I appeal in Moment with Marg on
behalf of the Salvation Army shop in Dandenong for used school uniforms for primary and secondary school youngsters starting school in the area. Shoes are always among the items sought as are pens, pencils, stationery and books. The Salvation Army shop is in Lonsdale Street, Dandenong. Phone 9792 2575.

Shocked over second killing POLICE are investigating a second suspicious death in Noble Park in eight days. A 52-year-old woman died outside her Theodore Avenue home last Thursday morning. Neighbours heard “screams then the silence” and called for an ambulance about 5.45am on 6 February. Acting Senior Sergeant Duncan Bartley said paramedics and CFA crews responded and found a woman slumped on the ground beside her car, “not breathing, not conscious, no pulse”. They attempted CPR but were unable to revive her.
Police arrived about 6.30am and locked down the scene. “She appears to have been confronted at that vehicle in the front yard,” Act Sen Sgt Bartley said. “It’s a suspicious death so the Homicide Squad are investigating.” SES members were combing the street this afternoon. “From the possible injuries we’re trying to locate a possible weapon,” Act Sen Sgt Bartley said. He said it appeared the victim was home by herself at the time of her death, but that she didn’t live alone. Her son, a shift-worker, arrived home from work shortly
after police arrived. Act Sen Sgt Bartley expected an autopsy would be completed today. A Noble Park man called triple zero with a desperate plea for help just minutes before his death on 30 January. Alan Matthews, 69, told the call-taker he’d been assaulted. Police found him dead in the bathroom of his Henry Street home shortly before 4am. Homicide Squad detectives charged former tenant Kristy Robb, 26, from Hallam, and her boyfriend, a Narre Warren man, 40, with intentionally causing serious injury.

Adding numbers By CASEY NEILL
A GREATER Dandenong Interfaith Network meeting last week revealed an unlikely - and chocolatey - pairing. A local mosque and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints joined forces on some recent charity work. They’re now calling themselves the M and Ms - Mormons and Muslims. OVERHEARD in the Dandenong Police Station last week was an in-depth explanation of the Hunger Games and Game of Thrones series from one passionate reader. “Do you read much?” she asked her offsider. “Not a lot. I read the newspaper - you know, the Journal...” she replied. A POLICE briefing collapsed into fits of giggles last week following a comical misunderstanding. A Greater Dandenong CIU officer was relaying the week’s happenings when a reporter - not from the Journal - queried what involvement an aforementioned “black male” had in the case at hand. The officer could only laugh as he corrected that the report was in fact about “blackmail”.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…
ALLEGATIONS against a Dandenong North refrigeration installer aired in the Journal have led to a warning issued by the state’s consumer watchdog. The Journal passed on a complaint from Svetla Nikolova in December that the installer had insisted on a $1700 up-front deposit from her but failed to install a promised airconditioner. Consumer Affairs Victoria last week issued a warning against Neil Turner and his son Robert, who have been trading as Classic Refrigeration and Catering Equipment. Turn to our business page for the full story.
A MAN caught speeding in an unregistered vehicle at 194 kilometres per hour on the Monash Freeway was handed a suspended jail term at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday. The man’s car, carrying two passengers, was clocked travelling east between Blackburn and Springvale roads at 170km/h in a 100km/h zone at 6.12am on 27 January last year. Minutes later, his recorded speed was 194km/h. The 29-year-old driver recorded a 0.07 blood-alcohol reading after drinking “a couple of beers”. His lawyer said the driver was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The court also disqualified him from driving for two years. A DRINK-driver who recorded a 0.337 bloodalcohol reading seems to have escaped a jail sentence by booking herself into rehab. Magistrate Julie O’Donnell said the woman was caught for her second drink-driving offence with an “extraordinarily high reading”. “Had she not (already) taken the 14 week (rehabilitation) program at Odyssey House I’d put her in jail,” Ms O’Donnell said. “She’s very lucky to be walking out of this building today.” But the magistrate did suspend the repeat drink-driver’s licence for five years, ordered her to serve a 100-hour community corrections order and banned her from entering a pub or nightclub for 12 months. “I CAN’T pronounce that name, it’s too difficult.” And no one in the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court hearing last Thursday thought any less of Magistrate Greg Connellan for the concession as he called the defendant to come forward. Few would be willing to tackle Akila Patirajamudalige.
Plan to cut thefts from cars By CASEY NEILL POLICE are turning to motorists for help to cut thefts from cars. Officers and Neighbourhood Watch members will visit crime trouble spots in Greater Dandenong, Cardinia and Casey during Operation Fast Track, from 10 to 14 February. Sergeant Melissa Blair said they’d leave leaflets in letter
residents so they can contribute to preventing the crime.” They’ll also offer advice at shopping centres.

She said prevention was the best way to reduce the crime and making people aware was the key.

DANDENONG South’s new kindergarten has welcomed 65 pre-schoolers through its doors. City of Greater Dandenong received a State Government grant and contributed funds to place a relocatable building on the Dandenong South Primary School grounds. Mayor Jim Memeti said the centre would accommodate an overflow from the preschool in nearby Canberra Avenue. “Over the last couple of years we’ve had a shortfall of about 70 kids that could not go to that kindergarten because it’s outgrown it,” he said. The Canberra Avenue centre this year has 73 enrolments. It took 80 last year and 76 in 2012, with about 70 left on waiting lists. Cr Memeti said some parents or grandparents weren’t able to take children to kinder places available in neighbouring suburbs, so some families missed out. He said the new building had two classrooms, a playground and decking. “There’s clear glass in every room so you can actually see the children doing whatever they’re doing,” he said. “It’s the way of the future. It’s got a brand new kitchen in it and the toilets are fantastic.” The $1 million centre is to remain on site for at least the next three years. “I think that it will actually improve and make it easier for kids to integrate into school,”

rolled out from July. They’ll have until 31 March to choose their new waste, recycling and garden bins. City of Greater Dandenong is asking residents to think about what bin size would best suit their needs and will educate them on ways to improve their recycling. The smaller the bin size residents select, the lower the cost. Greater Dandenong mayor
Jim Memeti said landfill was a serious problem for the nation. “Over the years we have become much better at recycling but we have a long way to go,” he said. “Our population and waste is growing and it is time for all of us to look at ways we can improve the way we recycle.” For a full list of bin options, visit www.greaterdandenong. com/greatbinswap.
Cyclist dies following accident A BANGHOLME cyclist, 80, has died following a collision with a truck late last month. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Acting Senior Sergeant Brendan Michael is appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident on Frankston-Dandenong Road in Bangholme to come forward.
“We want them to help us get an accurate picture of what happened,” he said. Act Sen Sgt Michael said a truck travelling north sideswiped the man as he rode in the same direction, about 9.50am on Friday 31 January. He was taken to The Alfred hospital but died last Wednesday night.
He said the truck driver, a 37-year-old Carrum Downs man, had swerved to try to avoid the cyclist and stopped to render assistance following the collision. Call Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Senior Constable Andrew Cusworth at Springvale Police Station on 8558 8600.

GREATER Dandenong’s Interfaith Network notched up a unique double-ton last week. The group held its 200th meeting at the City of Greater Dandenong council chambers in Dandenong on Wednesday 5 February. Mayor Jim Memeti and Victorian Multicultural Commission chairman Chin Tan attended to congratulate the oldest interfaith network in Australia on the milestone. Mr Tan said the group’s work was important to keep the peace and
“People wanted to work together for peace and harmony within the city.” She said each member respected the other religious leaders. “We’ve not here to promote our own background,” she said. “We’re here to work together for peace and harmony. “It really touches your heart because you’re with people akin to yourself.” The group farewelled Gurdarshan Singh Gill at the meeting. He’s stepping down from his place on the
offered to support a publication to celebrate its 25th birthday in October. Agnes Kean from the Baha’i community attended the first meeting and has missed few since. She said first stirrings of the network came in 1988, with a view to controlling misbehaving youths. Ms Kean said there was a feeling that people needed to work together, and different religions needed to show leadership for the community. “We knew there was a willingness,” she said.
network after 15 years. “I’ve grown. I’ve learned about other religions,” he said. He said the network had taught him to be accepting of others and was a valuable resource for the public as well as its members. It introduced him to the white sari-wearing Brahma Kumaris. “And I come from India!” he said. Councillor Roz Blades said the group should be proud. “We’re still here. We’re still relevant. How good is that?” she said.
Wife charged over history of husband beating A WOMAN accused of a long history of family violence, offending her legal-aid lawyer and urinating in police cells was refused bail at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday. Martha Duong, 33, was facing 12 charges including five breaches of family violence orders protecting her 31-year-old husband as well as unlawful assault and recklessly causing serious injury against him. Since the couple’s relationship began in 2009, police have listed 17 reported family violence assaults and disputes between the couple 15 of which had the husband as the victim. Duong, who represented herself in court, said her husband was a good man when she first met him but had since abused her financially,
emotionally and physically. “He charmed me. He used me for money, sold my belongings,” she told the court. “He has done nothing but abuse the s*** out of me.” Duong said since spending 14 hours previously “in the cells” she had “not touched” her husband. “I slapped him to get him off me. I had bruises all over my body. “I just want to go home to my kids.” Senior Constable Sasha Shaw, of Greater Dandenong police’s family violence unit, said Duong was arrested for ignoring an interim intervention order and visiting her husband’s Dandenong North unit on February 1. “She came to his place saying she was hungry and didn’t have any place to go,” Sen Const Shaw said.
“He felt sorry for her (and let her in). “When she assaults him, he feels frightened of her. It’s not day-today.” Upon her arrest, Duong allegedly told police both parties were still in love with each other. She admitted to having two grams of cannabis in her handbag “to help her get to sleep”, SC Shaw said. Two protective services officers were called in as extra security to watch Duong, who had been charged for urinating in the Dandenong police cells that morning. Sen Const Shaw told the court that Duong had been “rather unpleasant” to her Victorian Legal Aid lawyer, who then refused to work with the prospective client. The court was told Duong and
her husband married in September 2012 and separated mid-2013. The split couple’s 11-month-old son is being cared for by Duong’s mother under a Department of Human Services order. In 2012 she had allegedly scratched her husband’s face declaring: “I’ll f***ing kill you for doing this to me” as she was escorted to the police divvy van. On another occasion, he was hospitalised, unable to stand with tendon damage, after she kicked him to the back of the knee. Magistrate Julie O’Donnell deemed Duong was an unacceptable risk of re-offending while on bail. She was remanded in custody until a scheduled hearing at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 24 February. - CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS

War crimes fury DANDENONG MP John Pandazopoulos is being urged to apologise for “siding with a vicious oppressor” during a recent trip to Sri Lanka. But Mr Pandazopoulos has played down the Tamil Refugee Council’s reaction to his meeting with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa. He was part of a five-member Victorian Parliamentary delegation to Sri Lanka last month alongside MPs Liz Beattie and Marsha Thomson. Tamil Refugee Council spokesman Aran Mylvaganam said they had enraged the local Tamil community by meeting Mr Rajapaksa. “It was staggering to read that Ms Beattie and her colleagues had ignored a log of war crimes piled high at the United Nations,” Mr Mylvaganam said. He said the airport the delegation arrived at was a place of fear and horror for many Tamils. “While this trio were whisked off to five-star hotels and meetand-greet sessions with the Rajapaksa regime, forcibly-returned Tamil refugees go out another
John Pandazopoulos. door, to a jail and court room, and often to torture, rape and beatings,” he said. “If they were unaware of these things they should apologise immediately. “If they knew it, they should do the honest thing and ditch their pretence about representing the downtrodden people of this world.” Mr Pandazopoulos said he was “very much aware of the issues”. “I have been the patron of the Victorian Tamil Cultural Association for many years,” he said. “There is much more to the Sri Lankan conflict than what this group says.”
He said the trip was organised in conjunction with the Sri Lankan High Commission in Australia and the Australian High Commission in Sri Lanka. “A number of meetings were held with ministers, members of parliament, provincial governors, a business reception, the Sri Lankan Parliament and the president,” he said. “The purpose of the trip was to look at reconstruction and reconciliation since the end of the war and opportunities in this environment to grow trade and investment. “Politicians need to engage with politicians in Sri Lanka and raise issues where they have made progress and where more needs to be done. “This is what we need. For too long we have had groups take sides in the conflict rather than engage directly with government.” What do you think?

Abdoulie Sallah shows off the healthy doughnut. 114262 Picture: ROB CAREW
Doughnut with a difference Many hidden gems lie in Greater Dandenong’s culinary scene. This week the Journal launches a new occasional series exploring the scrumptious treats dished up in its restaurants, cafes, shops and stalls, and equally in its home kitchens. CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS bites into the story of Abdoulie Sallah and his African doughnuts.
ON HOT DAYS, NEVER LEAVE KIDS ALONE IN CARS.
NO EXCEPTIONS. NO EXCUSES.
EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL IF the claims are true, this could be Homer Simpson’s Valhalla. Refining his mother’s traditional recipe, Dandenong restaurateur Abdoulie Sallah crafts doughnuts that, he says, are nutritious - and are undeniably delicious. Sallah says they are the only African doughnuts for sale in Melbourne, and have sold like the proverbial hot-cake since offering them to the public at the Queen Victoria Market four years ago. Back in his West African homeland, the doughnut is a traditional parting gift handed to ceremonial guests. At his Dandenong restaurant African Village Kitchen, customers are advised to book ahead before the doughnuts sell out. The recipe is a closely-guarded secret. Sallah has added some mystery ingredients to his mother’s version, and won’t even share the IP with his children.
Within minutes the temperature inside a parked car can be twice as hot as outside.
FOR MORE INFORMATION kidsafevic.com.au 1118092-CB7-14
Outside is a deep-fried hard coat, inside are almonds, hints of allspice, a scone-like texture, with a near-invisible hole in the middle. It is best served with chocolate sauce, fruit yoghurt and honey. In West Africa, the doughnuts are called by the French term beignets, hinting at the gastronomic influence of French colonisers in the region. Sallah, a jolly and sprightly 70-year-old, struggles to describe the beignet’s unique taste. With a chuckle, he eventually opts for “satisfying”. Like the rest of Sallah’s diet and his restaurant’s menu, it is a traditional, simple-to-make recipe handed down by generations of African mums. He’s a big believer in the adage ‘what you eat is what you are’, and not having to use too many antibiotics. “Long life is the combination of food and laughing.” Do you have a tip on a favourite food sold or served up in Greater Dandenong?

FOR those who are after something a little bit cute and a lot inexpensive this Valentine’s Day why not put your creative juices to the test and create something from the heart? There are so many crafty ideas online, and local craft stores have all the bits and pieces to put something together to melt his or her heart on the most romantic day of the year. A different idea is putting together a jar of 365 love notes (notes for a whole year, awww!) for that special someone. It takes a bit of time, but the end result is something special and shows you’ve thought about the gift - swoon. The idea is that your love opens one note each day for the rest of the year. It’s a tough task thinking about 365 different romantic thoughts, sayings or memories - so why not scroll the internet for some inspiration. Colourful pieces of paper make the jar standout - an inexpensive choice would be getting cheap wrapping paper. Write the notes, fold them up, colour side facing, out and Bob’s your uncle - an inexpensive present from the heart. Finish it with some ribbon and an instruction guide on the back of a love heart tag.
Notes of love for that special someone for Valentine’s Day.

Unmoved by extra pokies By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council has opted not to object against an increase in poker machines at the Albion Hotel, Dandenong. Lordhaven Pty Ltd, which owns the hotel, has lodged an application with the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation to increase the venue’s pokies numbers from 24 to 30. In a gaming expenditure report submitted by Lordhaven, about $465,354 is expected to be spent in the extra machines in the first 12 months. The report translated this amount into a net increase of $169,569 pokies expenditure in Greater Dandenong venues and $33,642 in the local network of council areas.
Lordhaven stated the application would create eight full-timeequivalent jobs and draw 700 extra patrons a week to the venue - 200 to the gaming lounge. Greater Dandenong community services director Mark Doubleday said the council’s response was considered on a “case-by-case” basis, taking into account its gambling policy and the economic and social impacts. “The Albion Hotel had an existing planning permit for the additional machines. On balance, the council decided that the likelihood of an objection being sustained at the VCGLR to the increase was not high.” The council had recently opted not to object to Noble RSL extending its electronic gaming machines cache from 30 to 35. Those machines were ex-
pected to generate more than $450,000 in annual expenditure - of which $22,000 would be new pokies spending in the municipality. The VCGLR, in accepting the RSL’s application, ruled the “likely social impact ... will be positive”, given the club’s veteran welfare program. However, the commission also noted Greater Dandenong was among the most disadvantaged council areas in the state and “well above” metropolitan Melbourne’s gaming-level averages. The council is expected to revise its gambling policy as part of a review this year. “Council’s current gambling policy is currently being reviewed and will be revised during 2014.”
Tackles make a connection By CASEY NEILL RUGBY is connecting Dandenong youths and police. Officers last Wednesday joined Melbourne Rebels’ multicultural development program Access Rugby at Pop-Up-Park for the first time. Dandenong Proactive Policing Unit Sergeant Melissa Blair said they would take part in the 5.30pm to 7pm session each week. “We’ve been involved with Access Rugby for a little while, but police involvement hasn’t been that full-on,” she said. Sgt Blair said the clinics were a good opportunity to connect with young people from New Zealand in particular, to build relationships with the community in a relaxed environment and encourage participants to stay in or take up education or employment. “It’s a really good program,” she said. She said about 40 participants were signed up for the Dandenong session but there was an open invitation to join in. The Access Rugby vision is to partner with community and business, using rugby as the vehicle to create opportunities for disadvantaged people around leadership, education and employment. The program specifically

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
Schools’ exciting pathways Lyndale Secondary College LYNDALE Secondary College offers students access to an exciting academic program that aims to meaningfully support students’ transition from one academic year to the next. The Headstart program provides educational advantage to all students by strengthening their academic skills through the commencement of the following year’s coursework in the last three weeks of the current school year. The program started in November 2013 and involves all students from years seven to 11. The school believes that Headstart will benefit senior school students as they will be better prepared for the rigours of VCE requirements, which will enable them to undertake senior studies with confidence and success. This program will also enable students to better utilise their time after the exam period and provide opportunities for subject/elective changes before the start of the new academic year. The benefits of Headstart for middle school students are that students will engage with learning in a meaningful and effective way, and thus be realistically prepared for the demands of the year ahead.
Dandenong High ESTABLISHED in 1919, Dandenong High School is one of the oldest, largest and most culturally diverse secondary schools in the state. During the past five years the school has undergone a period of intense change and redevelopment including the merging of three schools, the development of an innovative collaborative learning model, the creation of a unique house structure and is nearing completion of stage three of a $45 million building project. The school has successfully maintained a balance between tradition and innovation and its vision is to create an environment where all students can achieve success. In order to foster a real sense of belonging and connection to the school, students are grouped in seven houses with 300 students from years seven to 12 in each house, a leadership team of four and 25 staff. Students learn in groups of 50 with a team of three teachers in architecturally designed and technology rich learning spaces and learning is
personalised to meet each student’s need. The curriculum is based on the principles of direct instruction, inquiry and discovery and the school has an extensive, individualised senior studies program that provides the students with a wide range of pathway options. Cornish College THE first campus at the Patterson River site, known as the Cornish Campus and run by St Leonard’s College, opened in 1987 and for 24 years since then an outstanding educational curriculum
has been developed that is now internationally recognised as being innovative and leading edge in the education of the next generation of leaders. The vision of the Cornish Campus founder, Richard B. Cornish, was to create a place of education where young people would be given the opportunity to understand and value the wisdom of living and working more sustainably. In February 2012 the campus reopened under the new name of Cornish College, and proudly became one of the Uniting Church’s newest schools and one of the leading co-educational independent schools in Melbourne.
Cornish College is an independent private co-educational school.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Little India spice up call By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS A PROPOSED council review into Dandenong’s struggling Little India precinct will need to spark a “massive” revigorating campaign, says an aggrieved trader. Kaushaliya Vaghela, who runs a fashion business Raj Rani Creations, says the Foster Street shopping strip has been empty since nearby roads were closed, dug up and reconfigured as part of the Revitalising Central Dandenong project.
A new pedestrian thoroughfare on Halpin Way and Settlers Square bypasses the once-bustling fashion, foods and retail zone. “The whole point of that was for pedestrians to have easy access between the railway station and central Dandenong. “So what will now entice them to come back to Little India?” Ms Vaghela said it would be possible to revive the iconic precinct but it would take a “massive campaign”
headed by the state government and Greater Dandenong Council. “They’ve sucked the oxygen out of the air here. “There’s a business closing every month. “Half the businesses will go, I’d say, so I don’t know what they can do now.” Last year, the precinct’s oldest store, Heidi Rose, closed, its owner declaring there was “no future” for her and other retailers. Ms Vaghela has closed one of her
two businesses in the precinct. Greater Dandenong councillor Matthew Kirwan, who is due tonight (Monday) to table a motion for the council review, said he wanted the council to “give confidence to the traders about the council’s position on Little India and its future”. He wants the council to reassess Little India’s branding and promotion, including more community events and improving “wayfinding” for pedestrians, motorists and commuters into the precinct.
“If that means doing a re-launch, and that’s what the traders want, that’s something I’d like the council to consider.” Dandenong Retail Traders Association president Glenys Cooper said all traders in central Dandenong, including those in Little India, had felt “to varying degrees the negative impact” of the revitalisation. “This motion to review Little India is a good start and, hopefully, will have outcomes that improve this street’s trading and those surrounding.”
Game is on course to be a charity hit HANOVER Welfare Services will benefit from a special round of golf this month. South East Business Networks (SEBN) launched this year’s Take a Swing for Charity at Sandhurst Golf Club on 3 February. Golfers will hit the Skye course on 24 February. The event has raised more than $160,000 for the community’s most vulnerable residents over the past four years. Hanover CEO Tony Keenan said this year’s proceeds would provide a playground, laundry facilities, a dental brokerage fund for children, and childcare for mums returning to work. The service for the homeless will celebrate its 50th birthday this year and runs Bob’s Place in Dandenong, which helps more than 1000 people each year. Take a Swing for Charity needs event sponsors, players, hole sponsors, auction prizes, financial donations and attendees for the after-game dinner. Kia Dandenong is again providing a car for the ‘hole in one’ competition, with other major sponsors including KPJ Group, Grenda Corporation, Bombardier Transportation, Norden Conversion, Future Metals Recycling and Ventura Bus Lines. Call SEBN on 8571 1576 or email sebn@cgd.vic.gov.au for more information.

Wood waste gets nailed down By CASEY NEILL A DANDENONG recycler is highlighting the beauty in wood packaging waste and encouraging Australian designers to consider sustainability. The Waste Converters and Victorian Woodworkers Association have relaunched the Create From a Crate exhibition and competition. An increasing number of well-known furniture makers and artists visiting his site to source materials inspired Waste Converters managing director Ward Petherbridge to launch the woodworking prize. “Our business recycles over 20,000 tonnes of packaging waste annually,” he said. “Much of the timber processed is from exotic foreign timber species including oak, cherry, maple and elm. “On site, we repair and re-purpose a signifi-

returned after a six-year break to more than double the entries of previous years. Two wooden pallets were made available to each contestant. About 10 per cent of the finished work was allowed to be other materials like glass, steel or
other timbers. A panel of woodwork professionals and recycling experts will judge the entries and award prizes of up to $3000. Entries will be on display at Hatch Contemporary Art Space, 14 Ivanhoe Parade, Ivanhoe, from 8 to 22 February,

Chill wind of warning over payments A DANDENONG North father and son team are the subjects of a Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV) warning. Neil Turner, 62, and Robert Turner, 39, trade as Classic Refrigeration and Catering Equipment. CAV director Claire Noone last week issued a public warning that consumers should not pay for the pair’s services upfront. She said CAV successfully prosecuted the refrigeration installers in separate cases last year, but had since received further complaints. “These include allegations that the Turners did not do agreed work and did not refund the customers’ deposits,” Dr Noone said. “If you do hire them, don’t pay any money until they do the work as agreed.” It is an offence under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) to accept payment for goods or services but fail to provide them as promised. In March, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court convicted Robert Turner of breaching the ACL by accepting deposits from two businesses in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs for work he failed to complete. The court ordered him to repay the businesses more than $6000, fined him $7500 and ordered him to pay $2000 in costs. Neil Turner was also convicted and fined in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court, in June. He breached the ACL by taking deposits but failing to do any work. The court fined him $10,000 and ordered him to pay $8850 in compensation to three consumers, which included a small business. “Businesses are protected as consumers when they buy goods and services up to $40,000, provided these are not for resale,” Dr Noone said. She advised consumers to seek at least three quotes for work on their property, check the reputation and references of tradespeople they consider and ensure they have a written contract for work specifying what is to be done and the total cost. She also said consumers should not pay excessive deposits - more than 10 per cent for jobs under $20,000 - or cash deposits.

Acting Sen Sgt Michael said officers also issued penalty notices to 15 drivers, for exceeding the speed limit in 40km/h zones, using mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts. “We need to make drivers aware as well,” he said. “I don’t think any driver wants to be responsible for collecting a pedestrian.” The operation came alongside a warning in the latest Greater Dandenong Neighbourhood Watch newsletter, urging pedestrians to avoid distractions like headphones. Last July, Dandenong police conducted an operation designed to change pedestrian behaviour and stop serious injuries following an increase in collisions involving pedestrians. Fines for flouting pedestrian laws are more than $70.

A PEDESTRIAN safety sting in Springvale and Dandenong detected almost 50 offences late last month. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol Acting Senior Sergeant Brendan Michael said officers in plain clothes and uniform targeted pedestrian and motorist activity that placed pedestrians in danger. It focused on Springvale Road and Springvale railway station in Springvale and Lonsdale Street and Dandenong Plaza in Dandenong. “We’ve had quite a few collisions involving pedestrians,” Acting Sen Sgt Michael said. “Unfortunately, a few have been fatal.” He said police detected 31 pedestrian offences during the operation, including disobeying pedestrian lights and crossing the railway line at Springvale
Road against signals. “Pedestrians have been identified as a vulnerable group within the Greater Dandenong area,” he said. “The focus is to try and curb risky behaviour, make pedestrians more aware of their vulnerability and help them avoid unnecessary accidents, harm or injury. “We need pedestrians to be mindful when they’re using crossings that drivers don’t always see them.” He said the potential for driver distraction, particularly with mobile phones, meant pedestrians needed to be cautious, even on crossings. “There’s every chance that they might still get collected,” he said. “Even though the pedestrian’s in the right, they’re the ones that are going to end up in hospital.”

By TANIA PHILLIPS INTERNATIONAL speaker and television personality Cheri Peters speaks to audiences around the world and she is coming to Melbourne to spread her message of hope “Celebrating Life In Recovery”. Cheri will be in Narre Warren on 28 February and 1 March for a free community event aimed at helping people through their recovery. Cheri will present a confronting hope filled message about a god who is “crazy about you, who longs to heal you and who delights in your recovery from every kind of dysfunction, abuse or addiction”. She speaks to audiences around the world in prisons, rehab centers, schools, churches and on the streets. It is a message from the heart and from experience. She was abused and unwanted as a child, a drug user by 11, pregnant at 13 and living on the streets of Los Angeles but Cheri has come out the other side. “For me it’s sometimes hard, even now, to look back on where I came from,” she said.
Internationally renowned speaker Cheri Peters is coming to Melbourne to spread her message of hope “Celebrating Life In Recovery”. “I was the second child to teenage parents who struggled with their own addictions, pain and dysfunctions. “They were unable to love me or even provide a safe environment. “Because of her own brokenness, my mum survived by taking out her hatred and anger on me. “I have no idea what it feels like to be in a normal home with parents who love you or have your best interests at heart.” By age 13 she ended up on the streets of LA and for the
next 10 years she was involved in some “incredibly twisted things”. Go to www.lifeinrecovery. org.au and book a free seat in one of three convenient venues across Melbourne to hear Cheri live on Fridays from 7.30pm to 9pm and Saturdays from 3pm to 5.30pm at Point Cook on 21 and 22 February, at Narre Warren from 28 February to 1 March and at Ringwood on 7 and 8 March. For more information phone 9264 7723 during business hours.

The newly-wed received what she described as the ‘best wedding present ever’ when she won the major prize in the McDonald’s Christmas Community Competition. “My husband and I were in the market for a second car but got caught up in the excitement of our wedding just before Christmas,” Sanja said. Sanja drove away in a brand new Fiat 500 valued at $14,000, while 21 lucky runners-up shared more than $10,000 in Westfield gift vouchers just in time for Christmas.

One point in it By JARROD POTTER WHILE the results didn’t fall Dandenong’s way this weekend, lessons learnt will put them in good stead for their last week of WNBL home and away matches. Facing a dogged Melbourne Boomers on Friday night, the Rangers left their run too late, falling a point short in the 84-85 loss. A back-and-forth three-point bonanza took place on court as Jenna O’Hea (32 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds) found sublime touch from beyond the three-point arc for the Rangers and the Boomers’ Nicole Romeo (12 points) similarly shot cleanly at the other end. Romeo’s three-threes in three minutes pushed the Boomers out to an 11-point lead before Dandenong stormed back from 72-83 down. The hard yards almost paid off as Dandenong claimed a one-point lead, 84-83, with six seconds remaining on the clock, following a monster three-pointer from WNBA star Leilani Mitchell. Showing why she has the captaincy, Melbourne’s Tess Madgen (27 points) took the ball into the key and slotted the match winning field goal and the Boomers stormed the court to celebrate their underdog victory. Kayla Pedersen (23 points, 10 rebounds) had one of her best outings in the green and gold while Leilani Mitchel (19 points, 10 assists) also posted a double-double in the one-point loss. “Last night’s (Friday) game was a bit of a bummer but Melbourne really deserved it as they played really well,” Dandenong coach Mark Wright said. “But when it’s all said and done we were a point up with six seconds to go - so it wasn’t all doom and gloom.
“When you shoot the ball as well as they did and so many of them contributed, they didn’t have any flat spots… that doesn’t happen too often.” Saturday night’s highly touted first-versussecond clash with Bendigo didn’t pan out as predicted with the Spirit claiming a comfortable 8567 win over the Rangers. Both sides giving their benches a long run before the finals series starts in a fortnight.Alice Kunek (13 points) led the scorers for Dandenong while Lauren Scherf (6 points, 6 rebounds) stood out from limited match time. “This was always going to be a tough game, we would’ve liked to have won last night and not for it to mean so much,” Wright said. “But I always had at the back of my head to play the kids and get them some court time in front of the home court as they don’t get it much. “We tried, but when the win was out of reach we quickly went to the bench and they did well and I’m glad the supporters saw them play.” Injury concerns kept O’Hea (knee tendonitis) out of the Saturday night match and may rule her out of this Saturday’s interstate clash with Adelaide on Saturday. “It’s a knee issue and we’re not sure if she’ll be back for next week and we’re trying to be smart about finals,” Wright said. “She pulled up really lame after last night’s game and that was a massive game she had. “It’s something that should be right, if it’s not right this week it will be right the week after, but this is something she’s been dealing with all year.” A cruel blow also befell former Dandenong Rangers SEABL player Elyse Penaluna in the Saturday night clash, with the star Bendigo centre injuring her knee for the second time at Dandenong Basketball Stadium.

By JARROD POTTER ON the back of stellar WNBL seasons, Dandenong Rangers guards Jenna O’Hea and Leilani Mitchell were awarded membership of the WNBL 2013/14 All Star Five. For O’Hea it is her fourth selection in the All Star Five in five years and statistically her best season on record, averaging 20.2 points, six rebounds and 4.4 assists per match. The deadeye O’Hea has also struck a 41.8 per cent three-point ratio and is 46.5 per cent from the field. O’Hea’s recent form is phenomenal with a 32-point match against the Melbourne Boomers on Friday night almost dragging Dandenong to victory on the back of 8-11 from the three-point line. In her first season as an Australian player, Mitchell has starred carrying the ball up the court
for the Rangers. Mitchell has also pledged her will to play for Australia at the upcoming FIBA World Championships and was invited to the Australian Opals training camp in Canberra. Mitchell’s WNBL debut numbers include 12.5 points, 5.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds a game with a best return of 27 points and nine assists against Sydney. Dandenong coach Mark Wright said the pair have been excellent all season and are extremely deserving winners of the accolades. “Fantastic and they deserve it and they’ve done a great job,” Wright said. “Consistency should win those awards and they have consistently done a good job and I think they deserve it, especially Jenna. “She (O’Hea) has been a flat line, every week hitting 20 points so it’s well deserved.”
DANDENONG Thunder has been granted a place in Victoria’s newest top tier soccer competition - the National Premier League. The Thunder, 2012 Victorian Premier League and State Knockout Cup champions, were granted a licence by Football Federation Victoria to join the top tier competition. Details of the finalised NPLV structure are yet to be confirmed by the FFV - with an announcement yet to be confirmed. “We got informed yesterday and put it on our Facebook,” Dandenong Thunder chairman Sezar Jakupi said. “We’re very pleased and excited to get the licence with the understanding that we’re going to be playing in the top tier of the NPL. “We’ve put in a tremendous amount of work to put the application together and it was acknowledged that our coaching list - Dean (Hennessey), Stuart (Munro) and Melvyn (Wilkes) among others - is the best coaching list bar
none in the state.” The Thunder’s junior program is also booming with over 300 juniors attending trials recently. “That’s a great achievement - we’ve been having 300 plus juniors trialling and we’ve got our junior registration day on Sunday,” Jakupi said. “Next week we start the trials and training for all the small sided teams and the girls team, so a lot of exciting things are happening. “Dandenong Thunder Soccer Club is aiming to field nine small sided (ages 7-11) teams this year and need all the young aspiring boys and girls we can find to join us. “Stuart Munro and Brian MacNicol (with assistance from many others) will be providing a fantastic program for the development of the superstars of tomorrow.” Training begins Tuesday, 11 February at 5.30pm and will be every Tuesday and Thursday at Springers Leisure Centre. The club encourages any keen soccer stars in the making to bring along their boots, shin pads, a drink and as many friends as possible.

SPORT Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association - round 11 (week one)
Shakespeare in denial By JARROD POTTER HONOURS were split on a baking hot day at Pat Wright Senior Oval as Noble Park was unable to dig out Croydon (8/233) cheaply. With no bowler able to take a long spell, the Bulls resorted to throwing the ball around as eight bowlers were used to varying effect against the visiting side. Rizan Mawzoon (1/29) made his impact early as he sent Chris Wilson (11) from the crease by rearranging his stumps. Anthony Salomon (2/18) would step up next to get Steven Wright (23) edging to the wicketkeeper Dirk Vandergert. At 4/68 the visitors were circling the drain before Hagan Shakespeare (89 not out) breathed life into the batting innings. Mevan Fernando (2/66) claimed a couple of wickets to keep Croydon from running away with their comeback but couldn’t shake Shakespeare from the crease, who was denied a well-deserved century by the VSDCA’s decision to limit the match to 65 overs for the day. Captain Dean Edmunds will remember the day for something besides the sweltering heat as he ran out to play first XI cricket with sons Ben and Jaye. Shakespeare’s 89 halted disaster and will give Croydon something to bowl at next week.
Still striding in strongly despite the heat, Noble Park’s Rizan Mawzoon throws some shapes as he repeatedly steams in against Croydon. 114515 Picture: JARROD POTTER
Premier Cricket - round 16 (week one)
Not the easiest of targets Jaxon a small By JARROD POTTER
A firm shout from Nathan Lambert goes unrewarded on a tough day for Dandenong. 114519 Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT
PUNISHED… there is no better way of describing the ruthless way Dandenong was belted about Merv Hughes Oval by Footscray-Edgewater (7/328). With their season hanging in the balance the Panthers failed to make any tangible inroads towards the Footscray tail quickly enough. Nathan Lambden (1/43) snared the early scalp of Dean Russ (13) before Anthony Barton (44) and Travis Dean (119) were brought together. Adding 76 runs for the second wicket, Barton’s wicket at the hands of Justin Butterfield (1/44) only brought more pain for the Panthers. Dean went after any Dandenong bowler
who came near him and gained strong support from former Australian Test all-rounder and current Victorian representative John Hastings (87). The pair put on 149 for the third wicket as boundaries flew around the field. Dean carried on to bat through the innings as the unlikely wicket-taker emerged through Tom Donnell (3/11). The hard yards and bowling toil came from leg-spinner Dan Doran (1/111) off 24 overs and James Nanopoulos (0/74) off 23 overs as the all-rounders put in long spells to maintain the quicker bowlers’ energy. Eventually stumps greeted Dandenong and left the Panthers with 329 runs to chase yesterday (Sunday). The match concluded on Sunday afternoon after the Dandenong Journal went to print.
WHAT’S ON this week
game changer
ALTHOUGH she’s off the basketball court this WNBL season, 2013-14 will remain memorable for Dandenong Rangers’ guard Kathleen Macleod for another, more life-changing, reason. Rangers’ and Opals’ star Macleod, 27, gave birth to her first son Jaxon on 7 February. While Dandenong Rangers’ coach Mark Wright lost his star point guard Macleod for the season, he was thrilled to gain a grandson this week as his son Marcus is Macleod’s partner. With a basketball pedigree of that calibre, it may not be long before Jaxon gets his first

SPORT Dandenong District Cricket Association Turf 1 - round 10 (week one)
The battle for life in Turf 1 Coomoora’s Luke Vincent gets Narre Warren’s Shaun Van Dam to flay at a wide ball and edge it to ’man of the moment’ Rob Johnston. 114518
Coomoora’s Rob Johnston was the beneficiary of prime spinning Pictures: JARROD POTTER conditions snaring 5/44. 114518
By JARROD POTTER IT ALL boiled down on Saturday - with the match of the round the likely wooden-spoon showdown between Coomoora and Narre Warren.
COOMOORA v NARRE WARREN
1118617-CB7-14
FIGHTING for their lives in the top tier, Coomoora restricted the Narre Warren (152) tally through some handy off-spin. The Magpies had gutsy input early from David Wheeler and Shaun Van Dam, but the wheels fell off their innings as Rob Johnston (5/44) started spinning circles around the Magpies. The Kangaroos’ offie (Johnston) toiled in the heat but reaped great rewards for his efforts. Johnston beguiled half the Narre Warren batting card en route to his third five-wicket haul of the season and left Narre Warren with a middling score of 152 to defend. With Johnston keeping the Magpies bogged down from the Dandenong Bypass end, with his 24 overs featuring 10 maidens, the pavilion end duties were left up to Chris Konings (2/21), who made the early breakthroughs at the top of the Narre order, and Joseph Hawke (2/18). Luke Vincent (0 not out) and Rahoul Pankhania (6 not out) survived the last six overs of the day unscathed to give the Kangaroos
a hopefully much cooler chase next week.
PARKFIELD v BUCKLEY RIDGES TOP order toiling from Buckley Ridges (241) has made next week a lot more challenging than usual for ladder-leading Parkfield (1/2). Simon Fonceca (69) and Paul Rudd (28) added 54 for the first wicket before Rudd was trapped in front. It left the scoring duties to Fonceca, Antonio Greenidge (24) and Dan Haasbroek (35). The top order burdened most of the scoring before the middle and lower order got in and got out as quickly. Captain Matt Goodwright (16) pushed a few more runs into the ledger as the Bears ran through the Ridges’ tail. It would not pay dividends for Parkfield as the home side lost a wicket to Ridges opening bowler Jeremy Kuru (1/2) in the final over of the day.
NORTH DANDENONG v SPRINGVALE SOUTH WHILE the top order fell away sharply, Springvale South (8/245) found another avenue to a top-total with import all-rounder Ruwantha Kellepotha (113 not out) dominating the North Dandenong attack. The Northerners would have been happy with the early going against the Bloods - taking five wickets on the cheap. Springvale
South sweated its way down to the middle order at 5/45 following Ryan Quirk (12) falling to Jurgen Andersen (2/47). Musa Amin (2/24) also claimed early wickets to put the onus on Kellepotha and the lower order. Seemingly unfazed by the extreme heat, Kellepotha chalked up the ones and twos along with 13 boundaries as everyone in the lower order committed to his cause. Jackson Sketcher (25), Yoshan Kumara (20), Liam Hamilton (15) and a gutsy not out effort from Mitchell Forsyth (28 not out) all devoted their time to keeping the Bloods at the crease and put the top order batsmen to shame. Michael de Kauwe (2/60) also chipped in for a couple of tail-end wickets, but the match was slowly slipping from the home side’s fingers as Kellepotha would raise the bat on his first DDCA century. It leaves a lot for North Dandenong to do next week, especially against Springvale South’s sharp bowling attack.
DANDENONG WEST v LYNDALE A little bit from everyone made the Dandenong West (8/284) batting card sing against Lyndale. Rotating their scoreboard duties in the heat, the Bulls started strongly through Walid Ghauri (45) and Matt Fielding (50) - with the latter smashing five fours and three sixes en route to the half
century. Lyndale struck back through Tharanga Lakshita (4/55) and Liam Mara (2/78) but after the top order returned to the sheds the second wind came for Dandenong West via its long tail. Adam Mason (50 not out) was the unbeaten man at stumps - notching his half-century with assistance from Justin Stanton (25), Greg Siwes (35) and Shaun Weir (28) to frustrate Lyndale and keep them out til the final ball of the day.

THERE’S no more important model to Mazda than its biggest selling model, the small-medium Mazda3. And there’s no more important country to Mazda than Australia.

It’s flanked by a pair of smaller digital displays, one of them showing a digital speedometer. It certainly
move between high and low beams; Blind Spot Monitoring; Lane Departure Warning; Forward Obstruction Warning; Smart City Brake Support, if the driver fails to do so, this system does their braking for them. Should a crash still occur, the Mazda3 has six airbags; the aforementioned rigid body structure; and whiplash-reducing front headrests. The driver’s seat is comfortable and my six-foot frame was able to fit comfortably in the back with
the front seat set. The base of the A-pillars have been repositioned rearwards to significantly improve the driver’s view. Topline models have Mazda’s new Active Driving Display that displays vehicle speed, navigation directions in line with the driver’s eyes. Engine performance from the smaller engine is adequate and it can struggle a bit on hills at times. Even the larger powerplant is more tradesmanlike than sporting.
The suspension tune has been carried out exceptionally well. Road grip is high and the feedback through the steering is excellent, even when the wheel is in the straight ahead position. This latter aspect is arguably the most difficult of all to achieve and the Mazda3 is likely to appeal to those who enjoy driving as well as to people who are simply looking for transport. Some tyre noise enters the cabin on coarse-chip surfaces but we have heard worse.
