■ Council flushed out over civic centre toilet plans...
Dunny debacle “Ratepayers are trying to get over the money for the new bins and no rate relief, and we’re spending money on this at the same time. “The plans were wrong from the start. We should leave it as it is and live with it.” Mayor Jim Memeti said it was too early to put a figure on the cost. “I’m asking for comments from all councillors on this. No decision has been made yet.” Acting chief executive officer Mark Doubleday did not comment on potential costs either. “As with any new building it is appropriate after a period of occupation to take into account any feedback from

She can’t work with people in a reasonable fashion. “All she does is stir the pot from a distance while taking $24,000 a year.” What do you think?

anywhere that would appreciate having to walk through a toilet to get to a kitchen” and that it was inappropriate that Mr Bennie as the “head of one of the largest municipalities” didn’t have a private toilet and shower. “His office is not large enough to fulfill the requirements of the CEO.” The design flaw was first flagged by Councillor Maria Sampey, who is currently on stress leave, before the building was completed. “Why would you want to hear people in the toilet while you’re in the kitchen?” she told the Journal last week. She hit out at the potential cost as a slap in the face for ratepayers.

RATEPAYERS face a hefty bill to fix a toilet bungle at the new $65 million civic centre. Just seven months after the keys to the council’s new Lonsdale Street headquarters were handed over, ratepayers face being stung for potentially costly renovations to toilets on the executive floor. One councillor is so appalled with the situation he has advocated that work on the floor “start from scratch”. The Journal believes councillors are looking at ways to remodel access to the toilets, shower and kitchenette after complaints.
The toilet cubicles are visible down a corridor from an officer’s desk and are located next to a kitchen. Private access to the toilets from CEO John Bennie’s office is also under consideration. No-one at the council would provide the Journal with an estimated cost of the work, however Councillor Peter Brown said any plumbing or remodelling work would have to be funded in the mid-year budget review. “It would be simpler and cheaper to tear down all the plasterboard walls and reconfigure the entire (wing). Start from scratch,” Cr Brown said. He defended the cost to ratepayers saying “there wouldn’t be a ratepayer

Rat’s wise life works By CASEY NEILL
STUART Marriner will never get to see the results of his efforts to shut down the Lyndhurst toxic waste dump. The 95-year-old City of Greater Dandenong Living Treasure and Rat of Tobruk died on 13 October. But fellow Residents Against Toxic Waste in the South East (RATWISE) member Geraldine Gonsalvez said his actions would “live on in the policy that will, hopefully, eventuate”. “He really was the environmental watchdog for Dandenong, without any shadow of a doubt,” she said. “I feel we can do him honour in the policies and in the action we, as a community, take.” Ms Gonsalvez said Stuart often quoted one sentence that underpinned all his actions - “I would like to see Dandenong as a community that remembers always that we borrow our city from the future”. “Me and my family are blessed and privileged to have known Stuart,” she said. “He kept our spirits up, kept our hope up and kept the vision in focus, too.” RATWISE convened at Stuart and his late wife Jean’s home behind Dandenong High School until he moved to Apollo Bay in 2011. “We’d finish with a warm cuppa around his kitchen table,” Ms Gonsalvez said. “He was a real gem.” RATWISE spokeswoman Thelma Wakelam said Stuart remained a strong, inspiring member until the last. “I’ve met very few men with the strength of conviction like him. He wasn’t wishy-washy at all, never wavered in his beliefs,” she said. He remained a steadfast mentor and in-touch with local issues via email after learning to use a computer at age 90.
Stuart Marriner in 2009 with fellow RATWISE members Thelma Wakelam, Geraldine Gonsalvez, Robert Gipp and Picture: LUKE PLUMMER Marjorie Gipp. 39244 Stuart was also heavily involved with Dandenong Residents Action Group (DRAG) to clean up the “offensive industry zone” in Dandenong South. “Stuart was instrumental in seeing many significant changes in industry at that time and ran rings around many officials and industry operators, yet he was respected by all,” Ms Wakelam said. She said Stuart was once asked how he would be remembered. “As a pig-headed old coot,” came the good-humoured reply. EPA Victoria chairwoman Cheryl Batagol said Stuart persistently and consistently worked to improve environmental outcomes. “He fought for the Dandenong community and he succeeded because he engaged with both business and the EPA, which is why he won the inaugural EPA chairperson’s award,” she said.
At last week’s Monday night meeting, councillor John Kelly said that Stuart and Jean were Dandenong’s heart. “They were the soul of our community,” Cr Kelly said. “It’s a sad loss to this city. “The offensive zone is much cleaner for the work of this one man. “The EPA - he could run rings around them.” Stuart was born in the Otway Ranges in 1918 and came to Dandenong with his family in 1959 to access education. He worked for Southeastern Timber until he retired in 1978. He became ‘honorary grandfather’ to many children at the Doveton-Hallam Community Centre, a valuable asset to the Dandenong District Benevolent Society and successfully lobbied the council to provide facilities for homeless youths.

TRAILERS are on the move in Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia - in the hands of thieves. Police are warning the community to be vigilant following an unusually high number of trailer thefts in the region over the past three months. Thieves stole 72 trailers in the south east between 1 July and 28 September at all times of the day and night. Inspector Terry Rowlands said most of the stolen trailers were unsecured and in residential front yards or nature strips. “The offenders are simply towing them away - it’s an opportunistic crime that can be easily prevented,” he said. “We’re urging the community to be aware and secure their property including cars, bicycles, boats and trailers. “If possible, use chains and tow hitch locking devices to secure them to a post or tree and park in well-lit areas. “We ask that people report suspicious activity immediately by calling triple zero.” Insp Rowlands urged people with information about previous thefts to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

UP TO 20 African men surrounded and robbed a teenage boy on his way home in Noble Park. The 15-year-old boy was walking along Robert Street with two friends about 7.10pm on 11 October when the group approached. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Bret Lavars said one asked the victim what he had in his pocket and stole his Samsung Galaxy phone. They also searched his bag, before leaving.
Stuart was 21 when he joined the Army and went to the Middle East. His 7th Supply Unit was responsible for taking ammunition and supplies to troops on the front and he often told how he nearly ran over General de Gaulle in Aleppo in Syria in 1941. Rats of Tobruk Association Victorian secretary Reg Lawrence said Stuart was one of two surviving members from his unit. Stuart was the father and father-inlaw of John and Chris, Douglas and Margaret, Elizabeth and John, grandfather of Steven, Adrian, Kerry, Justin, Amanda, Carolyn, Katie and Emma, and great-grandfather of nine children. A funeral service to celebrate Stuart’s life was to be held at the Apollo Bay RSL today (Monday).

History strikes as Jack heads back THIS WEEK THE JOURNAL INTRODUCES A NEW COLUMN BY LONG-TIME DANDENONG RESIDENT JACK JOHNSON. JACK IS THE AUTHOR OF WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES, A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF GROWING UP IN DANDENONG, HIS YEARS TENDING TO THE CITY’S PIPES AND DRAINS AS A PLUMBER, AND BRINGING UP A FAMILY WITH WIFE FRANCES IN THEIR BELOVED HOME IN MACPHERSON STREET. ALTHOUGH we went through poverty during the depression and the early years of World War II, my brothers and sister all agree that Dandenong in the 1930s was the perfect place to grow up. Each time you stepped out that gate next to St Mary’s (Primary School), it was the beginning of a new adventure. The oldest of us, Bill, was nicknamed Nipper or Bones, then came Beryl, known as Jinnie, I was next and called Skinny or Young Nipper and Ron, The Kid, was last. We were children of an almost virgin landscape, of pristine little creeks that meandered through the beautiful natural expanse of the Dandenong Valley as it swept up and into the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges and let us, as young explorers in short pants, into the hills of Narre Warren North, Harkaway and the areas that would become Doveton, Endeavour Hills, Hallam and Rowville.

JACK JOHNSON
In 1932 as a three-year-old boy I remember Dandenong as a country town in the midst of the Great Depression. This quiet little market town was transformed every Tuesday, on market day, into a hive of activity when people from miles around came to town. The central township was surrounded by farmland with large paddocks still within the heart of Dandenong and its business district. Minor streets were gravel strips with no gutters or footpaths.
Many streets were unmade paddocks, defined only as streets by postand-rail or wire fences. Others, known only by a few, were still lines on a survey map. The first home my parents had on coming to Dandenong in about 1926 was in Rodd Street, off Robinson Street. The family was there for less than a year before moving to 29 Fifth Avenue in Dandenong West. Fifth Avenue was still a paddock at the time and our weatherboard cottage its only house. Our access was across the paddock from Birdwood Avenue which was still a gravel track. In the wet of winter to get access to home, and because Fifth Avenue was so boggy, they had to climb through a hole in the back fence of one of the few houses at that end of Potter Street. Our next rented house was at 88
“
AS CHILDREN WE IMAGINED THE CREEK ENCIRCLING THE LITTLE TOWN OF DANDENONG, LIKE A MOAT SURROUNDING A CASTLE…
McCrae Street next to the old St Mary’s Primary School and convent. It was here where my brothers and my sister and I would acquire our Grade 8 Merit Certificate from the dedicated nuns of the Presentation Order. We each spent eight happy years at this lovely old school with the best bunch of kids that ever attended a school and who would remain friends for life. Living in McCrae Street during those years was an unforgettable time of my life.
As children we imagined the creek encircling the little town of Dandenong, like a moat surrounding a castle, the only difference was that we had six bridges not just one drawbridge to play on and explore. There were the rough-timbered bridges of Stud Road, Heatherton Road, Kidds Road, McCrae Street and the rickety planked high bridge of Hammond Road. The sixth one was the concrete bridge over Princes Highway beside the park.

Text threat to behead victim A MAN who threatened to behead his brother-in-law and cut his hands off with a tomahawk has been assessed for a community corrections order. Jason Weiss, 35, who had been in remand for 37 days, was told by Dandenong magistrate Jack Vandersteen on Tuesday “there comes a point when he has to be released”. “What you’ve said is very violent and completely unacceptable,” Mr Vandersteen said - also noting that Weiss needed treatment for “very significant mental health issues” including bi-polar depression and antisocial personality disorder, as well as an acquired brain injury. “This is about re-offending and to make sure your family is safe. “You’re best to be managed on an order (when you’re released).” The court was told that Weiss allegedly sent a threatening text to his sister’s phone on 8 September after she and her brother-in-law reported a family violence incident to Dandenong Police Station. Weiss’s lawyer said the text
was supposed to be sent to the brother-in-law, and threatened to cut his head and hands off. He then sent photos of himself wearing a black mask and wielding two tomahawks. That night in Dandenong Police Station holding cells, Weiss allegedly asked for a cushion which he wedged into the toilet to try to flood the cell. Leading Senior Constable Van Der Poel said Weiss was unable to be interviewed due to his “aggressive nature” towards police. Weiss’s lawyer said the text message related to threats made against him by the brother-inlaw’s cousin, who was “a highup member in a bikie gang”. The court was also told that Weiss allegedly wielded a tomahawk in front of his partner and sister when they arrived at his father’s Dandenong North home to help his father with groceries in August. “You are not safe here. Are you f***ing deaf? You are not safe,” he told them. “You have read the letter from the psychiatrist haven’t you?” Police prosecutor Ldg Sen
Hanza with his Soul Foods creation. 128728
Const Van Der Poel said Weiss also threatened his 73-year-old father who was a patient in The Valley private hospital in Dandenong last month. His father told Weiss to “pack his bags” and leave the house. Weiss allegedly replied that he would burn down the house. Weiss was then removed from the hospital by security staff. He was also accused of breaching a full intervention order against his partner by using an alias on Facebook to befriend her. He then posted 22 screenshots from her Facebook page, including messages between them as well as using one of her photos as his profile picture. Mr Vandersteen said he would be prepared to release Weiss - in custody for the first time - if he could be collected from court to reside at a certain address in North Wonthaggi which was a significant distance from his south-east Melbourne based family. Weiss was remanded pending a community corrections assessment.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… KEYSBOROUGH couple Mark and Julie Capper delivered more than $6000 in educational supplies to three schools along Papua New Guinea’s Kokoda Track. They made the journey last month, following months of fund-raising and training. “The teachers and the kids were very happy,” Mark said. IT APPEARS some smartphone users aren’t so smart. A man fronted Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last week for breaching his CREDIT bail program, mainly for missing all but one corrections appointment. But what got the magistrate's dander up was evidence that the man texted and took a call during counselling. “You think being on a mobile phone... while in counselling is acceptable? This is the consequence,” the magistrate thundered, booting him off the program and remanding him in custody. A loud ringtone sounded in the accused’s vicinity as police escorted him from the court. FRUSTRATIONS boiled over in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last week. A man’s case had been adjourned on several occasions over the past month due to the lack of a translator. When he was told his matter would be stood down, he told the court through a translator “we’re not discussing the atomic weapons in Iran at the moment. These are three simple matters”. WARREN Capper was the guest speaker at the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Grand Final Luncheon, according to councillor Angela Long at last week's Monday night council meeting. “Do you mean Warwick Capper?” queried several colleagues. Then mayor Jim Memeti piped up that the guest speaker was, in fact, David Rhys-Jones. “I’ll stick to cricket!” Cr Long laughed. COUNCILLOR Matthew Kirwan might not have to look too far for ideas to encourage residents to attend council meetings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
On Monday night he suggested surveying people who did attend to find out what they liked about the meetings. Corporate services director Mick Jaensch said surveying those who didn’t attend would be more benficial, but said Cr Kirwan’s request could be met. “Fewer questions from Cr Kirwan,” was Cr Kelly’s suggestion and Cr Long piped up with “cut your questions in half”. Cr Kirwan laughed, “maybe we should survey councillors, too?”.
Safety cycle
BROTHERLY love filled the City of Greater Dandenong council chambers on Monday night last week. Councillor Sean O’Reilly suggested the council look at using an in-house graffiti removal team rather than using contractors and that volunteer groups could be assigned specific areas to look after. “My brother Michael O’Reilly from Frankston council” recently implemented similar ideas, he said. The council’s engineering team will look into the ideas.
RE: Ratepayers to speak up. YEAH - and pigs will fly. Dandenong council seems to have forgotten that it has reduced the questions the public can asked to three. It is great to publish and proclaim more transparency and at the same time restrict questions, reply but either don’t answer at all or declare a question as answered and everything else the public is not allowed to know will be declared confidential or give wrong facts as answers. Recently, the Herald-Sun declared Dandenong as
“WHO do we need to watch out for? Rascal people?” One Endeavour Hills resident was particularly receptive to a visit from police last week - which the Journal tagged along for - to deliver warnings about a recent burglary in her street. Her visitors suggested keeping an eye out for unusual activity in her street. “Thank you all your good work,” she said. “One, two, three police, plus media! Bless you all!” DANDENONG’S Lonsdale Street redevelopment has picked up yet another award. It won the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) National Award of Excellence for Urban Design, which was held in Brisbane. What do you think about the multi-award winning precinct?

Money men rescue By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FOREIGN money exchanges in Dandenong have been saved from imminent closure after the intervention of Suncorp Bank. The ‘Big Four’ banks had, for “policy” reasons, closed bank accounts of 10 exchanges – the last being Westpac which was set to finalise its affairs on Wednesday. Australian Afghan Business Council president Bashir Keshtiar stepped in and negotiated a solution with Suncorp. Mr Keshtiar said MP Exchange would open a Suncorp account from the end of October under a “pilot” arrangement. He said the issue had highlighted the need for a Thomas Street traders’ association which he said he would lead. “If something like this happens,
MP Exchange owner Mohammad Parwarish, right, with son Mushtaq Parwarish. 128064 we’ve got one point of communication, one spokesman to talk to.” Ali Parwarish of MP Exchange said the deal would keep the business open, allowing refugees and asylum seekers to send money home to their needy families in remote
parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. “We still need the support of the big banks, who can give us a better international transfer rate but it keeps us up and running.” The business owners remain perplexed at why the banks had aban-
doned their remittance business. Owner Mohammad Parwarish told the Journal he wasn’t sure if the bank’s policy was “coming from the government side or from the banks”. Mr Parwarish said the two-yearold business was registered with and had reported regularly - and without incident – to federal anti-money laundering and terrorism-funding agency Australian Transactions Report and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC). “If there’s any legal problems that we need to comply with, we’re ready to comply. “I know most of the people coming here. We’re a specific group in Afghanistan, the Hazaras. “We’re people affected by terrorists and we’re not involved in that.” Owners of the affected exchanges are set to meet over the issue.
Shopping spree hotel spreads Arrest over bus assault DANDENONG’S historic Albion Hotel is expanding. City of Greater Dandenong councillors have approved plans for the Lonsdale Street venue to incorporate a vacant retail premises next door. The Albion was constructed in 1891, has operated as a hotel ever since, and is identified in a council heritage study as a landmark building. Councillor Peter Brown told his fellow councillors at their meeting on Monday night last week that it was a wonderful venue. “If they don’t keep the
beautiful open fire and pressed metal ceiling in the dining room can we cancel the permit?” he joked. “It really is one of Dandenong’s hidden gems. In winter it’s just absolutely delightful.” Acting city planning, design and amenity director Rachel Lunn said the project would see some internal features retained, and that heritage protections covered the facade. She said the application included a request to expand the hotel’s liquor licence but that any plans to introduce more poker
machines would have to be the subject of a separate application. The existing liquor licence lists the hotel’s maximum internal capacity as 360 patrons but does not specify an outdoor patron capacity, despite the outdoor beer garden being located within the existing ‘red line’ liquor licence boundary. The approved application will see the patron cap increase to 450 in a red line area that includes the beer garden and extension into 337 Lonsdale Street. – Casey Neill
POLICE have charged a Noble Park teen over an alleged assault on a deaf man and an autistic boy on a bus to Keysborough. The bus departed Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre on Sunday 7 September. Last Thursday police released CCTV footage of the incident, which led to a call to Crime Stoppers and the arrest of a 19-year-old about 10.10am on Friday. A deaf 32-year-old man was sitting alone on the moving bus about 3pm when a man approached and asked what he was looking at. Police said the man punched
the victim in the face when he did not respond, then walked back to his seat at the rear of the bus. A 14-year-old autistic boy was sitting nearby and moved to the front of the bus. The offender followed and struck him in the face several times. The alleged attacker got off the bus near Kingsclere Avenue, Keysborough. He has been charged with one count of recklessly causing injury and two counts of unlawful assault. He was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 28 January.

At the 24 August council meeting, Cr Blades said drivers had told her they could not see the sign clearly because it was too low. Cr Blades suggested a flashing ‘no right hand turn’ sign would make the situation clearer for motorists. “Another important thing is that the pole with the signage on it is, in fact, past the road it doesn’t want people to turn right on,� she said. “The signage should be
clearly marked before the actual road!� VicRoads Metropolitan South East regional director Adam Maguire said the sign would be moved up so it was more visible to drivers. “Flashing electronic ‘no right turn’ signs are generally used at signalised intersections and are therefore not supported at this location,� he said. Cr Blades welcomed the sign lift, but said she’d continue to push for the flashing sign. “I’m pleased that they’ve taken on our concerns,� she said.

these matters in the magistrates’ court”. Hunn, however, told magistrate Jack Vandersteen he wanted it heard in the County Court. Mr Vandersteen, who had said that Hunn was best dealt with by the mental health system, agreed to the accused’s wishes. “There’s nothing anyone can do,” Mr Vandersteen told Hunn’s lawyer. Hunn, who said he was homeless at the time, has been remanded in custody at the Melbourne Assessment Prison’s acute assessment unit since 11 September.
Mr Grimshaw told the court the week before that he had contacted the unit to get Hunn released in order for him to be admitted as an involuntary patient at Dandenong Hospital. “I think he should be in the hands of the mental health system rather than the prison system. “Unfortunately, it seems a lot of his offending is against staff members at a local community health service, which is why they don’t want to engage with him.” The matter was adjourned for a hearing at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.

A MAN who allegedly threatened to bomb a Greater Dandenong community mental health service has chosen to fight the charges before a County Court judge and jury. In Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Tuesday, Luke Hunn, 33, maintained he was not guilty of phoning the service on 20 August to say he was not happy with his treatment and that the clinic would be blown up by a bomb.

PRINCIPAL OF YELLOW BRICK ROAD DANDENONG DELWYN RAYNER, EACH WEEK SHARES A COLUMN ON WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL MATTERS FOR THE JOURNAL.
The more things change It’s probably a sign of how stable our economy is that we wait for the slightest change in wording when the Reserve Bank decides on the cash rate. When the RBA board met this month they decided to keep official interest rate at 2.5 per cent – not only a historically low rate compared to the 5.2 per cent average since 1990, but also a rate that’s been kept the same since August 2013. But it was the way the RBA governor expressed himself on property prices and the Australian dollar that is worth looking at during the remainder of the year and into 2015. Firstly, for more than a month we’ve heard strong commentary from economists about unhealthy price inflation in the property market, driven by low interest rates. Some of the comment has predicted an end to negative gearing. Mark Bouris, Chairman of Yellow Brick Road believes lender’s figures don’t suggest a problem in the property market, and the Bureau of Statistics’ House Price Index series shows we are just slightly above the Index average since 2002. However, the RBA governor in his statement did mention investment property: “Credit growth is moderate overall, but with a further pick-up in recent months in lending to investors in housing assets.” Mark believes that Governor Stevens was right to address the property market with a bland statement like this. He thinks it is a reminder to
property investors that they must do their own homework and invest wisely regardless of what official interest rates are doing. With an investment property you are interested in a good location and access to infrastructure such as schools, shops, railway stations and playing parks. And you are also interested in average rentals and some historical data on rental yields. But the first step in a good investment is buying well. This means, not just paying a good price for the year – but a good price for the 10 to 20 years you want to generate income off this property. If you pay too much you’ll lose on capital appreciation and it will take longer to generate clear funds from the rent. It’s one thing to get carried away at an auction and pay too much for the house you love, but an investment property is a business that must earn income and capital growth for many years. So keep a cool head. The other element mentioned by the RBA – that they expect the Aussie dollar to fall further against the US – is something that might give a boost to our economy. When our dollar was at parity with the US, Aussie exports were expensive and local manufacturers found it hard to compete in foreign markets. Now that our dollar is at .85¢ - and expected to fall further – our non-mining economy has a chance to pick up, expand operations and create jobs. So don’t be alarmed at the lack of big headlines from the Reserve Bank this month. A steady economy is a great thing when you consider

Guilty over stray $8900 By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A SPRINGVALE man facing a “huge whack” of jail time has dropped his fight against a proceeds-of-crime charge over the discovery of $8900 in his bedroom during a police search. Duy Le originally pleaded not guilty to the charge at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday after police did not accept five family members’ “not entirely consistent” statutory declarations that the money was innocently obtained. Le, who was serving a drugtreatment community-corrections order and suspended six-month jail term, had been remanded in custody for 30 days.
Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Gary Van Der Poel said police found a silver foil of powder, a bag of crystal substance, several deal bags of different colours as well as a plastic bag of $50 and $20 notes totalling $8900. Le allegedly told police in an interview the money was “just savings” and gave no comment on the other items. Defence lawyer Bill Grimshaw told the court that Le’s mother, father and grandfather, in support of Le, would testify on the “origins” of the money, allegedly won by the parents as part of a financial syndicate. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted Le’s six prior convictions - including jail terms - for
drug and proceeds-of-crime offences. He said Le was potentially facing a “huge whack” of jail time, including the suspended prison sentence, if the accused pleaded not-guilty. “So (the family) will say they gave a drug addict on a drug-treatment order $9000? “How is he going to pay them back? “I find it hard on the balance of probabilities that they provided that money to him.” After a discussion between Mr Grimshaw and the accused, the plea was changed to guilty. Le was sentenced to 30 days’ jail - which had already been served in the remand cells.
Centre gets set for convenience A CONVENIENCE store could open its doors in the Dandenong Civic Centre by December. Last Monday night City of Greater Dandenong councillors agreed to put plans to lease a space in 225 Lonsdale Street to public consultation. The applicant, Ali Rahimi, wants to open a convenience
store with souvenirs and an ATM if the lease proposal gets final approval. The lease would start on 1 December and run for five years with an option of an additional five years. There are eight retail spaces available for lease in the municipal building, and four are currently leased.
The council said Mr Rahimi’s proposal met the selection criteria for prospective tenants in that the lease would contribute to activating the space, that Mr Rahimi had business experience and acumen, and because of the length of the lease and rental rate.

Youth pitch in

A DANDENONG soccer pitch is helping unemployed young migrants find their way into work. Leaders of Tomorrow Careers Training CEO Aaron Mashano is running a competition at the Pop-Up-Park on Wednesday evenings. He said Greater Dandenong had the second highest level of youth disengagement - young people not in paid employment or enrolled in education - in Melbourne, at more than 15 per cent. “After connecting with some multicultural youth, we recognised that most of the
disengagement was around participants wanting alternative careers training pathways outside mainstream models,” he said. “We also recognised that most youth, after turning 25 years, were not eligible for youth support and so slipped through the cracks with no outcomes.” So Mr Mashano turned to competitive soccer to give young people a chance to demonstrate leadership and complete work experience in refereeing and coaching. The program runs for three weeks each month, with three games per week.
“Within the two earlier social games, employers and stakeholders can engage socially and play with their sponsored teams,” Mr Mashano said. Mr Mashano said the competition created relationships between unemployed youths and potential employers, fostered leadership skills and team-building skills by allowing youths to co-ordinate the games, and helped young people identify pathways into employment. Members from the winning team in the third match take home movie tickets and have the chance to play for the Leaders of Tomorrow team at outside competitions.

FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS, POLICE HAVE BEEN KNOCKING ON DOORS AND SPEAKING TO HOMEOWNERS TO ADVISE THEM ABOUT WAYS TO REDUCE THEIR RISK OF BURGLARY. JOURNAL REPORTER CASEY NEILL JOINED THEM ON PATROL LAST WEEK.
Homeland security “I DON’T know if that’s any use to you, but... ” It’s a phrase that could help police shut down a burglary spree. All ears last Tuesday, 14 October, were First Constable Jerome Ithier, Constable Trent Chivers and Constable Gil Cristovao Correia. They were hitting the streets of Endeavour Hills as part of a Victoria Police pilot across Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia. The region’s Safer Communities Unit deploys patrols to areas where burglaries have occurred using ‘hot spot’ maps. Sergeant Melissa Blair said the initiative was based on research that showed that houses within 200 to 400 metres of a burgled property were temporarily at risk of being targeted next. “They’ll often go to the next street down, expecting to find the same sort of stuff,” she said. Sgt Blair said burglary victims were also at high risk of being revictimised for seven days following the theft. “They wait for you to replace your television and laptop then head in again,” she said. She said crews worked on the doorknock project from 10am to 6pm each day, hitting up to 200 houses in a shift. She told last Tuesday’s team that some residents would panic, assuming they were there to deliver bad news. “Others will think you’re there to get them,” she said. “Tell them straight up you’re there to teach them about crime prevention.
Constable Trent Chivers hands an Endeavour Hills resident a leaflet. 129042
“Policing these days is about prevention. “Lower crime statistics help people to feel safer.” Sgt Blair said the patrols were a chance for new officers to hone their communication skills. “Don’t knock people for telling you ‘silly’ information,” she said. “If they tell you they’ve seen a silver Ford hanging around in the street, write it down. “Someone knows something about every burglary. “You might find that person. “Every piece of information is worth something.” The teams also hand out plenty of information about securing properties against burglary. “Simple stuff that could stop them being a victim in the future,” Sgt Blair said. “Deadlocks, sensor lighting, not
having a hedge in front of their front door. “If they see a police car drive down the street they’ll lie down behind the hedge. “To be a good copper you have to think how crooks do.” First Constable Ithier handed a leaflet to a woman who lived in Celtis Place, Endeavour Hills, where a home a few doors down was burgled over the weekend. “You know best who should and shouldn’t be in your street,” he said. “If you notice anything unusual, call the local police station.” She told him about a girl aged 15 or 16 wearing blue jeans and a dark hoodie and carrying a pink handbag. She stopped at each letterbox in the street on the Wednesday prior to the robbery, but didn’t put anything in them. From there, we moved onto Joseph
Banks Crescent, Endeavour Hills, where another burglary occurred over the weekend. “Everything’s alright,” Constable Chivers assured a woman as she opened her front door. She said: “It was a bit scary having police knock on my door,” but gratefully accepted the warning. A man at another home told the police he’d already increased security at his property. “We have been knocked off twice,” he said. Everyone who answered their door to the patrol received a brochure listing simple steps to take to improve home security. Those who weren’t home received one in their letterbox. The checklist included locking all windows and doors even when at home, and says unlocked side and rear doors are the most common entry points for burglars. It recommended installing and using quality deadlocks on all external doors and windows and keeping valuables out of plain sight and in a secure place. “Be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour to police immediately via triple zero,” the letter said. “Crime prevention is a daily responsibility and your ongoing participation is the best way to ensure a safer and more secure community.” Police are also offering residents free security audits to help identify areas where home security could be improved. Residents can download a crime prevention fact sheet from www.police.vic.gov.au to learn more about how to secure a property against burglary.

Court fine follows assault A MAN who had been under risk of deportation over the domestic assault of his wife’s female friend was convicted and put on a 12-month community corrections order. As part of the order, David Musa - who had pleaded not guilty - was required to perform 100 hours of unpaid community work and undergo highlevel supervision for six months. At Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday last week, Magistrate Jack Vandersteen also ordered Musa to undergo alcohol rehabilitation and mental health treatment as well as a men’s behaviour program. The victim had claimed in court on 22 September that she couldn’t remember details of the alleged assaults against her and Musa’s wife at a party in a Dandenong flat about 2am on 15 June because she was drunk. Under cross-examination as an “unfavourable witness”, the friend agreed with police prosecutor Senior Constable Renee Bloomfield that Musa had banged her head against a window several times. Musa was acquitted of a charge of assaulting his wife after his wife declined to give evidence in court. The court was told Musa had been previously convicted for a domestic assault on his wife. Mr Vandersteen noted Musa’s offending may put him under immigration officials’ scrutiny. He said Musa “owed it to yourself and your family” not to re-offend. “You’re in a strong position. If you go to the men’s behaviour program and control your drinking, I doubt we will see you in court again. “If you put your family in harm’s way... you will go straight to imprisonment.”

Driving to freedom By CASEY NEILL
BINGO FRIDAY NIGHT
EYES DOWN 8PM $500 JACKPOT MR. JACKPOT LINK JACKPOT
DANDENONG’S Peter Ogunyemi is about to receive a new lease on life. He contracted polio in Nigeria in 1976 when he was one year old and has been in a wheelchair ever since. Mr Ogunyemi is now 39, a former Paralympian and has “a wonderful wife and a genius daughter”. “I am on a disability pension but I love to work and do activities, most especially taking my baby out because my wife has to go to work to support the family and my daughter stays at home with me,” he said. “Sometimes I feel sad not being able to take her out to the park to play because I am not driving. “Because of that I bought a car thinking that I would get funding from the government for modification, but was told that I cannot get funding because the car is over 10 years old.” So he turned to the Rotary Club of Dandenong South East “so that I can be able to drive to give me freedom to do things and possibly get a job”. The club agreed to pay to modify Mr Ogunyemi’s car, and shared his story in the lead-up to World Polio Day on 24 October. Rotary International established the event more than a decade ago to mark Dr Jonas Salk’s birthday. He led the first team to develop a vaccine against polio, which reduced polio worldwide by 99 per cent. Rotary has a worldwide project called Polio Plus, which aims to eradicate polio throughout the world.

Mr Ogunyemi first came to Australia in 2000 for the Sydney Paralympics, representing Nigeria in the powerlifting competition. “After the Paralympics I went

Passions for life OBITUARY
Fred Esdaile with his winning dog, Andromeda.

FRED ESDAILE had three passions in life - family, local football and greyhounds. Fred, a long-time resident of Grace Street, Springvale North, died aged 95 on 9 September. He was born at North Melbourne on 19 April, 1919 and raised in Coburg. He left school to join his father on the wharves. In 1942 he married Edna and the couple had two children, Jeff and Gayle. The family moved to Springvale North in 1958 when the area was undergoing a postwar population boom. Fred and Edna purchased a partly finished house and completed the building with the help of Edna’s father, a carpenter. Son Jeff Esdaile remembers thinking his family had moved to the country, such was the rural character of Springvale North in the 1950s. Fred continued to work on the wharves until his retirement at which time he was delighted to finally devote himself to his beloved greyhounds. He reared and trained greyhounds in the family’s Grace Street backyard. Jeff remembers a maze of kennels and dog runs which were home to eight or nine racing dogs at a time. Among Fred’s most successful dogs were Bubbles Luck, Andromeda, Nullargo and Miss Martindale. Fred was also a talented footballer who played for Coburg in the VFA. A rover, he
celebrated premiership wins in 1939 and 1940. His love of Aussie Rules meant he was among a group of influential locals who took it upon themselves to found the Sandown Football Club. Ten men gathered in 1961 at 44 Grace Street, North Springvale, the home of Alby Schmidt, to discuss forming a new football club. Also present were Alec Felton, Carlie Coates, Alan Smith, Ron Currie, Alan Stevens, David Leatham, Laurie Matheson, Jack Milnes and Roger Page. The men applied for admission to the Oakleigh Football League. The council levelled land on Edinburgh Road for the ground and an army of volunteers set about building the clubrooms, which are still in use today. Fred was president in the club’s inaugural season, supported by secretary Alby Schmidt and treasurer Charlie Coates. The club fielded just the one team in its debut season, a second 18. In 1963, the club fielded its first senior side and under-17 side. The first decade saw the club
secure its first senior premiership under coach Ross Manniche in 1967. One of the early players was Ray Mathieson who remembers Fred as a “happy and welcoming person”. “In my youth I never knew of Fred’s background playing football in the VFL (now AFL) to get a grip on why he was so passionate about the game, but it was very obvious to us, in his attentiveness to the game and in his guidance and encouragement with his son Jeff. “So it was that largely through Fred’s passion for our national game, and his love for his son and local youth, that he was one of the major driving forces behind the formation of the Sandown Football Club.” In the 1980s Fred and Edna left Springvale North and moved to Sandringham to care for Edna’s mother. Edna died in 1994. Fred lived out his final days in a nursing home in Endeavour Hills. He is survived by son Jeff, six grandchildren and 18 greatgrandchildren.

Big Statement. This former Henley display home successfully combines high-end, luxurious elegance with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 6 years ago, Henley built Brighton-level quality and scale into this sumptuously appointed residence, and it’s construction cost at that time was over $900,000. It is 52.75 squares, excluding the alfresco/pergola. From the moment you step into the lobby, you realise you are in a very luxurious space. Rich wood panelling and large mirrors welcome you. As does space aplenty. An elegant open study with extensive built-ins is following by one of the largest and most striking formal living areas you will have seen. Beyond the guest powder room is the vast family precinct comprising large, casual dining and living spaces anchored around the most stunning of kitchens. Double ovens, wide, stainless steel and stone benches, butler’s pantry and more. A beautiful, timber-panelled al fresco is directly off the living area and accessed through a slideaway wall of doors. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and a further living/media room for relaxing and watching movies. The master suite is a true 6 star experience with the best en suite bathroom we have seen and a bedroom-sized dressing room and private balcony. Another bedroom has its own private bathroom, and there is a 3rd bathroom servicing the other 2 bedrooms. The home is fully air-conditioned throughout and comes with a sumptuous collection of high-end light fittings and wall decorations. Perfectly located close to Haileybury College, bus and nearby to all sought-after amenities, this is a stunning yet practical premium home for those who love space, tasteful luxury and being spoilt every day.

STABLE OUTLOOK FORECAST ENZO RAIMONDO CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria
WITH growth in Victoria’s property market starting to moderate, now is a good time for first homebuyers and first-time investors to consider their options. Sales in regional Victoria have been consistent over the past 12 months, resulting in solid price growth. But with a more stable performance outlook and steady interest rates set to continue, securing a quality regional property has become all the more feasible. For inexperienced or first-time buyers, the process can be daunting. The most important tip for new buyers to bear in mind when
ALEXSCOTT.COM.AU
preparing to purchase their first property is: do your research so you know what you’re getting into. The first step is to monitor recent sales activity and rental rates in the town or region and the services and amenities within that area. If you’re preparing to settle there or relocate, think about your most important priorities. On Wednesday 29 October, the REIV is holding its free Homebuyers Seminar in Melbourne for first homebuyers and new investors. Details can be found at the REIV website - www.reiv.com.au where you can register online or by calling 9205 6601.

NEW HOMES AND LAND
SURRENDER YOURSELF TO THE TUNCURRY THE new owners will be able to wrap their family in a cocoon of luxury with Fairhaven Homes’ Tuncurry 269. The Tuncurry 269 is available to experience at the beautiful Waterford Rise Estate in Warragul. The display includes all standard items as well as a selection of options that buyers can consider as part of a complete Tuncurry package. The Tuncurry’s modern façade, which includes an attractive portico, is an arresting mixture of textures including render, plain brick and timber lining. It is one of a range of facades available to suit style and estate guidelines. A double garage offers direct access into the home and buyers can choose between a Colorbond or cement roof at the standard price. The Waterford Rise display also gives potential buyers an appreciation of the Tuncurry’s magnificent raked ceiling which soars above the main living/kitchen space. Although the raked ceiling is an option, it is well worth considering. The master bedroom at the front of the home boasts a fantastic walk-in wardrobe, which runs the whole length of the rear wall. Cleverly, the design of the master suite includes entry to the wardrobe from either side of the bed, offering easy access to abundant hanging and storage space. The ensuite has a double shower, separate toilet and double vanity. The open-plan family/dining area boasts a
myriad of large windows which let in abundant natural light. The square-set cornice in the entry and living further enhances the modern feel. Beautiful stone bench tops immediately create a feeling of quality in the kitchen, as does the 900mm free-standing Westinghouse oven, which is a standard inclusion in the Tuncurry. The kitchen has ample storage options including a clever pop-out drawer with concealed power point, perfect for hiding phone and iPod chargers. The main living area flows through to a rumpus room, which has sliding doors to the rear garden/entertaining area.
The further three bedrooms are larger than standard. They are spacious and light and have access to the main bathroom. Other features of the Tuncurry include mixer taps throughout, solar assisted hot water, separate linen cupboard, 20mm stone to all benches, and laminate bench tops in the laundry. The current Advantage Living Promotion allows the owner to personalise their home with an impressive list of inclusions, all at no extra cost. The Tuncurry 269 starts at $172,900 and can be viewed at 25 Silkwood Drive, Warragul, or contact new home consultant Peter Leydon on 0409 554 394.

NEW HOMES & LAND
PRESTIGE LOCATION IS NOW SELLING Brad Ryan of Harcourts Narre Warren South said that land prices in the area traditionally start around $300,000 and that resales of established homes also command premium prices. According to Brad, part of the reason for this is the reputation of the nearby schools which include Haileybury, St Francis Xavier and Nossal selective government high school – and the proximity to the freeway, train station and Berwick village. “Many people also consider that the Narre Warren South postcode provides them with a superior long-term investment compared with property in the less established areas of Clyde and Cranbourne North,” Brad said. “But the real attraction, in my opinion, is just the feel of the place.” A boutique development of just 80 home sites, Water Edge is located on the north side of Glasscocks Road in Narre Warren South. More than 60 per cent of the site has been dedicated to wetlands and open space, with many of the home sites featuring absolute front row positions overlooking the water. Befitting its location, Water Edge incorporates a range of environmentally sustainable features including energyefficient street-lighting, recycled water and optimum solar orientation of home sites. A high-speed fibre optic network provides residents with next-generation superfast broadband services. Water Edge offers buyers a range of surprisingly affordable home sites, including the very popular 14 x 32 metre lots.

We don’t mind if you change our plans. It’s called layout flexibility. Arden Homes is a different sort of company creating very different homes. Firstly, our homes are architect designed and inspired to bring a new sense of space, light and sweeping architectural proportions. You sense the difference immediately. Innovative sun courts, picture windows and full length windows and views that connect inside and out are hallmarks of our design. We insist on luxury standard inclusions such as porcelain tiles, Smeg appliances, Franke sinks, quality carpet, and stone benchtops throughout. Secondly, we limit the number of houses we build, and are up-front about the pricing of display home extras. “Arden let us swap rooms around so our new home is exactly as we want it.” – Sharon and Michael, Croydon And best of all, we encourage layout flexibility. It means you can work with us to switch and swap rooms and features to suit your lot size, orientation and family needs. Visit an Arden display to see and feel the difference. And ask us how we can tailor the design to make one of our stunning homes your unique dream home.

Life’s selfless service By CASEY NEILL Foundation Award joint recipient Alf Goldberg. 129031
Pictures: GARY SISSONS
Foundation Award joint recipient Keith Purton. 129031 Mr Purton was a fireman on the D3 class steam engines and later became an engine driver, and has lived in Noble Park for almost 50 years. The Noble Park CWA branch was another nominee in the category. The Community Award recognised steady leadership in Noble Park - help-
ing, advising and assisting people from the wider community. U3A volunteers Rob and Louise Wood, and Lyn Bates from the South Eastern Region Polio Support Group were joint recipients. Mrs Wood runs cooking classes at Paddy O’Donoghue centre and with her husband runs karaoke sessions. Mr Wood also facilitates the History of the Blues course. Ms Bates has spent 15 years teaching craft at a school each Monday. She organises speakers, outings and newsletters for the polio group. Volunteer Margaret Weston was a nominee in the category. Sri Samy won the Cultural and Service Award for promoting cultural endeavours not only in Noble Park but
to a wider cultural audience. She is the Friends of Refugees coordinator and has transformed a small group of volunteers into a formidable effective organisation that has become a haven for asylum seekers. St Anthony’s Primary School and Dandenong West Primary School were nominees for their participation in It’s Just a Postcode which is designed to make students realise they’re not defined by where they live. The Sporting Achievement Award went to Noble Park Tennis Club secretary Shirley Bradshaw, and the Youth Services Award recognised Deb Kampl’s contribution to the Noble Park Football Club. Noble Park Rotarian Rex Carter was a nominee for the Youth Services Award.
TWO men armed with tomahawks raided Springvale McDonald’s and made off with money from a cash register. They entered the restaurant on the corner of Springvale and Heatherton roads with stockings on their faces just after midnight on Friday 10 October. Police said the men walked behind the counter and one demanded cash while the other kept a lookout. He then grabbed cash from an open register and they both fled the scene. They were last seen running across Heatherton Road toward Burden Park. No-one was injured during the incident. One thief is described as about 183 centimetres tall with a solid build, and was wearing a grey hooded top, navy blue tracksuit pants with two stripes down the side, and Conversestyle runners. The second man was described as about 175cm tall and was wearing black tracksuit pants with writing down the side, a light-coloured T-shirt with a grey hooded top underneath, black shoes and black gloves. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au with any information. Visit dandenong.starcommunity.com.au to watch the CCTV footage.

NOBLE Park’s top contributors received recognition this month. Noble Park Community Action Forum (NPCAF) presented its annual awards at a gala dinner at Noble Park RSL on 11 October. City of Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti and South Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Lee Tarlamis presented each nominee in five award categories with a certificate acknowledging their efforts. The Foundation Award acknowledged selfless lifetime service and commitment to Noble Park, and this year went to joint winners Alf Goldburg and Keith Purton. Mr Goldburg has attended and assisted community activities, particularly with Noble Park RSL, NPCAF, Springvale Benevolent Society and the Dandenong and District Historical Society. “During the Depression my father couldn’t buy my lunch,” he said. “They had soup kitchens. I had soup and a bit of dried bread. That was my lunch. “St Barnabus Church - that’s where my Christmas presents came from.” It was experiences like these that drove him to help groups like the Springvale Benevolent Society. “You’ve got to do those things to help other people,” he said. “That’s what we’re there for – to help each other out.” Mr Purton has been part of the local Scouting family for 30 years. He helped with fund-raising – taking bottles to the recycler – maintenance, cleaning, mowing lawns at halls, sausage sizzles, selling raffle tickets, and collecting newspapers and pamphlets. He was vigilant about removing graffiti and was awarded the President’s award in 1997.

Mark on route to respect By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS AFTER staring down one of his greatest fears, nothing daunts Gateway Industries worker Mark Hutton. He bears the scars of being bullied for much of his life at former schools and worksites. Yet he chose – after some prompting from his mentor and Special Olympics manager Anne Monaghan – to speak in front of 1400-plus students at Mazenod College school assembly last year about ‘respect for all’ – including for people with disabilities. “I told them we don’t want people to feel sorry for us. We want them to respect us.” Beforehand, Hutton – who has a mild intellectual disability – wondered if the kids would listen to him or mock him, but instead they applauded him. One student said it was the best speech he’d heard at the school. “It was the most nerve-wracking thing I’ve been through, then it was just phenomenal adrenalin,” Hutton said. “Since I’ve done it, everything has opened up.” Recently he has addressed students at Caulfield Grammar, guests at his employer’s AGM, and even fronted BHP’s CEO and board of directors to thank them for sponsoring the Special Olympics. That’s pretty good for someone who was once too shy to speak in front of most people because he felt “different”. Bullying – or rather, stopping it in its tracks – has become a passion, perhaps even supplanting his 30-year love affair with basketball. “It scars people. Even when you get older you remember it. “I want to go around and do public speaking on people with disabilities, to
respect us as normal people, as workers and as sportsmen. “We all do the hard yards. If I can make people realise people with disabilities struggle out there if they don’t have support and social activities... that’s my goal.” At his past workplaces, Hutton was on the “back foot”. He’d been taunted for being overweight, called names he can’t repeat and, basically, felt left out and depressed. Working 11-hour days, he was being berated for mistakes but receiving little guidance. He didn’t speak out for fear of losing his job or inflaming the bullies. “When you’re different, you get picked on. You’re on your own.” His current employer, Gateway Industries in Dandenong, has been the first to make him feel welcome. He feels “safe and comfortable” enough to work unsupervised without feeling overwhelmed. He and 47 other staff with disabilities mow lawns, tend parks, pick up litter and package items for councils and businesses. Established by Rotary in 1983, the enterprise states its charter is to help its workers “build a quality of life”. Hutton said Gateway – where he’s met his girlfiend Crystal – has changed his life. His parents tell him he’s become more mature. “I accept who I am and to respect others that struggle worse then me. If I didn’t find Gateway, I’d be unemployed.” This week, Hutton will play guard for the state’s basketball side in his ninth Special Olympics national championships. He wasn’t sure he could make
Mark Hutton makes a stand for universal respect. 127211 Picture: DONNA OATES it, having overcome age as well as two left ankle reconstructions and a snapped Achilles tendon. These are injuries enough to drive most sportspeople into retirement, he said. For him, they are a “rough trot” though each reconstruction cost him six months’ factory work as well as speed and agility. His ankle is held together with a bolt.
After his first reconstruction, he lost 25 kilograms on doctor’s advice to take weight off his ankle. That made the second reconstruction particularly daunting. “My doctors and coaches said to me ‘you may not come back to play’.” Hutton’s Special Olympics career now spans 25 years – he’s played the sport since he was eight. This week, he’s playing for a spot on his second national Special Olym-
pics team at the world championships in LA next year, having represented Australia at the Shanghai games in 2007. That was “a dream come true”, and this will perhaps be his last chance to repeat the dose. “The reason I keep going is I love it with a passion. I love being involved in it, with my team-mates, with my coaches. “It gives me confidence.” The achievements keep racking up for Hutton though his main goal is for “people to be accepted in society”. He was a recent finalist in the Special Olympics’ national leadership award, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver award, this month he met state Governor Alex Chernov and was recently selected for Victoria Country’s open-age side in under-18 championships. Hutton has been scrambling for sponsors to raise the $2800 needed to take part at this week’s championships. Despite donations from his employer Gateway Industries, he’s still a “bit short” of the fund-raising target. “A lot of us are on low incomes, some can’t afford to pay themselves they need help from parents and carers. “I am hoping more companies get behind and show a bit of interest in the Special Olympics – it’s not for profit and doesn’t get money from the government. “We’d love the media to get behind us. I’d love to talk on the TV news so they can do a report for us to get sponsors.” Now that’s something Hutton wouldn’t have said 18 months ago. To sponsor Hutton’s sports campaign, call Alan Warwick at Gateway Industries on 9793 998.

Post-Myer fears unfounded By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG Plaza is a “bargain haven” following its $40 million postMyer transformation. Aldi, JB Hi-Fi Home, Daiso and Trade Secret opened their doors last Wednesday, 15 October. Dandenong Retail Traders Association (DRTA) chairwoman Glenys Cooper visited the following day. “They had a queue there and a security guard on the door, which was a nice thing to see,” she said. “I’ve never seen a queue out the front of the shop like that before, it was just great. “I thought that was a very good sign. “It had more energy in there.” Ms Cooper said the redevelopment would change the centre’s profile. “It’s certainly a bargain haven,” she said. “It’s going to be great for most of the traders there. “Those who aren’t used to having their profile like that will need to change their marketing strategy. “That’s the kind of customer that will now be attracted to the centre.” Last September Myer announced that the struggling store represented less than 1 per cent of its total group sales and would close the following month. It marked the end of a 40-year history and retailers expressed concern that the departure would leave the centre without a drawcard. Full registers at Aldi from 8.30am, full change rooms at Trade Secret, and lines at Daiso and JB Hi-Fi Home quashed that fear. “I’m gobsmacked,” Committee for Dandenong chairman Gary Castricum said.

The Japanese store’s shelves are stocked with products priced at $2.80. “I love it. It’s Christmas time all done,” she said. She said the upgrade looked beautiful and that she would visit the Plaza more often.

colour-blindness not holding him back. “These things have numbers on them and tell me the colours,” he said, picking up a marker. “My wife’s a big fan of Daiso, actually.” Trade Secret spokeswoman Tessa Buenen said the store would stock brands from around the world at up to 60 per cent off recommended retail prices.
“We don’t talk about the brands that we stock,” she said. “That’s because they are such great deals. Customers will have to head instore.” JB relocated from its Cleeland Street, Dandenong, location and expanded to include whitegoods and other home wares.
Commerce breakfast considers weighty issues $10,000 By CASEY NEILL FORMER jockey Simon Marshall was heading to Dandenong Hospital after his guest speaking spot at last Wednesday’s Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce breakfast at Sandown Greyhound Racing Club. His three-year-old daughter toppled from her pony Gazza and broke her arm at 6.20pm the previous night. “She loves them to death,” he said. “It’s just unfortunate mum didn’t catch her at the right time, this time. “If you work with horses you’re going to break bones.” Marshall grew up “between horses’ legs” in Devon Meadows. His father Len was a jockey who became a trainer and sought his 11-yearold son’s help with track work one morning in pouring rain and five-degree temperatures. “Just through pure fright and adrenaline, you hang on,” Marshall said. “At 11 years old, I knew what I wanted to do.” Marshall told the breakfast about the battle to keep his weight down, which started with his first race day at age 15. After a makeshift sauna he was allowed dry toast, a boiled egg and half a glass of water until the day’s racing was over. “I understood I wasn’t there for long,” he said. “I was just too big.” He’s now campaigning for the weights to be raised in line with natural human growth. “We’re happy to lobby for jockeys to eat,” chimed in MC James Sturgess.

were the morning’s nominees for the chamber’s Premier Regional Business Awards. ACTCO-Pickering Metal Industries CEO Jill Walsh said Youth Enterprise Award nominee Alex Woller was in his third year with the company, which supplies the rail, defence and aerospace industries. “We need highly-skilled tradespeople,” she said. Ms Walsh said the 20-year-old from Carrum Downs was extremely focused and passionate about what he did and had a natural ability to digest complicated information about fabrication. “Let’s hope we’re looking at the next CEO of ATCO-Pickering,” she said. Alex said welding was popular work. “The younger generation seems to be getting more into it,” he said. “The possibilities are endless.” Wurth Australia CEO and Australia and New Zealand managing director Serge Oppedisano has worked with the
assembly and fastening materials supplier for 15 years. “For me, work is like a big playground,” he said. Before that, he was self-employed in the service station industry – and a Wurth customer. Mr Oppedisano contacted Wurth, told them he admired the brand and submitted a hand-written resume. “I told a few fibs on that resume,” he said. “I started as a sales consultant.” He rose through the ranks and wouldn’t be anywhere else. He said the workplace was special. “We have many goosebump moments at work,” he said. The multinational organisation’s headquarters and origins are in Germany. The Australian arm started in Dingley in 1982 and now employs about 550 people across the country and is in the top 15 of the 400-plus Wurth companies
throughout the world – ahead of the US operation. New Wastech CEO Brett Jones accepted the nomination, three months into the job. “In the interview (technical support manager) Paul (Bone) told me he was a Hawthorn supporter so I signed up,” he said. Mr Jones said the company’s culture also impressed him. “It’s hard to implement a strategy when the culture’s not right,” he said. Recent award wins have buoyed the culture, including the Casey Business of the Year and Casey Manufacturer of the Year for 2013 and, in May, the Melbourne South East (MSE) Business Awards Business of the Year Overall Business Excellence award and Medium Enterprise category. Wastech provides standard and custom-designed engineered products and solutions for the recycling and waste industries. The business was started 20 years ago as a three-man operation in a small factory in Dandenong, has grown to be an industry leader and employs more than 80 staff. “The appetite for growth is pretty high,” Mr Jones said. He told the breakfast the company had won its first job in Saudi Arabia the previous week, following a recommendation from client Veolia. “They obviously hold us in high regard,” he said. The Premier Regional Business Awards are now in their 24th year and designed to profile and highlight successful businesses in the region. Winners will be announced and presented at a gala dinner in March next year.
boost is on offer GREATER Dandenong businesses can now apply for a $10,000 boost. The City of Greater Dandenong’s latest round of business grants is now open and aims to support business growth, create new jobs, attract neighbouring businesses to the area and strengthen retail precincts. Grants are available in three categories – start-up to support new and innovative businesses, growth to help existing small businesses expand, and relocation to attract businesses into the municipality. Businesses could be eligible for a grant of up to $8000 plus a marketing and business planning package valued at $2000. Young Uncles Coffee and Sandwich Bar in Thomas Street, Dandenong, received the inaugural grant earlier this year. Applications for this round close at 4pm on Friday 31 October. An application form, which outlines the grant requirements and selection process, is available at www. greaterdandenong.com.

Rangers on fire By JARROD POTTER IT TOOK blood, sweat but thankfully no tears for the Dandenong Rangers to put a diabolic WNBL off-season behind them. The Rangers’ horror run into the season - losing star recruit Liz Cambage and WNBA champion Monica Wright before a ball was even tipped - was put to rest following a clinical 73-51 Round 1 victory over Melbourne Boomers on Saturday afternoon. Cleaner shooting pushed the Rangers ahead - with a 44 per cent conversion standing well above the 29 per cent the Boomers mustered under heavy pressure from Dandenong’s defence. The ABC cameras captured Dandenong figuring out as it went how to play as a team - with a vastly changed roster from last season taking the court for 2014/15. At the top of the roster, Olympic gold medallist Cappie Pondexter (20 points, 6 rebounds) was scintillating from her first shot - a long-range two-pointer in front of the Rangers’ bench that raised everyone to their feet. Even with a two-month hiatus between her WNBA duties and only arriving in Australia on Wednesday, Pondexter proved a handful for Melbourne’s man-on-man defender Tess Madgen to guard, even when forced wide. Pondexter wasn’t the only fresh face for this season’s WNBL campaign as Dandenong’s starting five beared no resemblance to last year’s team. US import Annalise Pickrel (19 points, 6 rebounds) returning WNBL champion Kathleen Macleod (13 points, 4 assists) and Tegan Cunningham (12
points, 10 rebounds) took on the challenge and guided Dandenong to the 22-point triumph. Lauren Scherf was another fresh face in the starting line-up and earned her stripes with an impressive debut starting performance - reeling in 12 rebounds to keep Boomers’ talls Natalie Burton and Olivia Thompson on the back foot. “I didn’t know what to expect,” Dandenong coach Mark Wright said. “I couldn’t be happier - the result is fantastic - but not just the result, we had some resolve… they used their brains and played to their strengths… it’s great.” Wright said the side is constantly improving as the Rangers develop those linkages and understanding that will come for the power-packed roster as they learn to sync up. “Things keep changing - morphing into something else. I wasn’t sure what would happen here today… we’ve to go away and say ‘ok, we’re on the right track’ and moving forward,” Wright said. Most importantly for Wright, the win unburdens the playing group - who had felt the strain of an interrupted off-season campaign just as much as he did. “I know for the players this is a weight off their shoulders… they’ve felt it too… not just me, the coaching staff and the office staff,” Wright said. “The kids have felt it - they know it’s been tough - I think this will give them a world of confidence going forward and know that they’re a team that can win games.” Dandenong will regain Australian Opals representative Alice Kunek from off-season shoulder surgery for next week to add extra firepower to the mix.

Shepley Oval up with the best Wildcard, come-from-behind win By JARROD POTTER WHETHER Stingray or Panther, all athletes will benefit from the completed works to Shepley Oval’s main pavilion. The Keith Miller Pavilion at Shepley Oval has watched over the likes of Dandenong Redlegs champions Jim “Frosty” Miller and Tony Elshaug, test cricketers Peter Siddle and Cameron White as well as a litany of Dandenong Stingrays’ rising stars and will continue to house the best and brightest south-east sportspeople into the future after a well-needed renovation. After a long, and at times frustrating, year of capital works on the site the facilities were completed this week prior to unveiling by Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti, Victorian Minister for Sport and Recreation Damian Drum and representatives from AFL Victoria and Cricket Victoria on Saturday morning. With a $1.25 million price tag, the renovations have brought Shepley Oval up to the best in the state alongside facilities at Casey Fields and Highgate Reserve and will likely draw additional high-calibre clashes to the venue such as state representative games and junior national championships. The Greater Dandenong Council contributed $650,000 to the redevelopment with significant contributions also being allocated by the Victorian Government ($312,000), AFL Victoria ($200,000) and Cricket
City of Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti opened the redeveloped Keith Miller Pavilion at Shepley Oval on Saturday. 129251 Picture: JARROD POTTER Victoria ($40,000). “It is a wonderful asset to our city and it is home to Greater Dandenong’s premier Australian rules football and men’s cricket clubs,” Memeti said. “The redevelopment of this pavilion will also enable these clubs to prosper to an elite level catering for the future development of clubs particular growth into junior pathways.” The redevelopment included the creation of two large change rooms, upgraded amenities, a dedicated ice bath room, new medical, physio and coaches rooms, a new gymnasium and upgraded offices for AFL Victoria and the Dandenong Stingrays. Stingrays region manager Mark Wheeler said the redevelopments allow the TAC Cup club to step up to the next level with a comfortable training and
playing space. “The facility was something we always said we needed to get upgraded to give us a level playing field and now that we’ve got it, I think for the boys it just makes them a little bit more comfortable each week when they come to training,” Wheeler said. The facility will be put through its rigours in November when the Dandenong Stingrays commence training for its under-18 men and newly formed Youth Girls’ Academy. “It’s (women’s football) one of our biggest growth sports we’ve got to make sure we look after that,” Wheeler said. “120-plus trying out for a squad of 45 is amazing and the girls that are trying out could match it out here with the boys and that’s great.”
WITH a stirring final-quarter comeback, Haileybury’s senior boys triumphed in the McDonald’s Champion School of Victoria Tournament. Earning their first championship - coached by Melbourne Tigers’ great Lanard Copeland - at the state-wide tournament the hard way, Haileybury overcame an eightpoint last quarter deficit to take the title. Haileybury College exploded with a 30-17 final quarter to defeat two-time reigning champion Caulfield Grammar 83-78, booking a place at the Australian Schools Championships in December. The Bloods were led brilliantly by point guard Anthony Karabatsos who finished with 23 points, while captain Lachlan Anthony provided 21 points, including 10 in the final quarter, and Srdjan Sumarac connected on four threepointers in his 18 points. Starting the final term behind 53-61, Anthony and Sumarac dominated the opening minutes, scoring 14 of Haileybury’s first 16 points. When centres Harry Byrne and Alex Zenin fouled out midway through the quarter, the momentum briefly turned back in Caulfield’s favour, but Jordan Hurley came up big, connecting firstly from downtown and then scoring under pressure at the hoop to tie the scores at 74-74 with

In a pivotal play, Karabatsos sliced through three players to finish at the hoop with just over a minute remaining and when he repeated his success again seconds later, Haileybury held a three-point lead with 45 seconds remaining. Haileybury assistant coach Duncan Berg said it was pure satisfaction and joy to knock off the highly touted Grammarians after their recent dominating run at the tournament. Haileybury had to earn a wildcard place to the tournament after failing to qualify, but Berg said to progress to
the final and make amends made the win even greater. “We had seven weeks to prepare, knew exactly who the opponent was and focused on them (Caulfield Grammar),” Berg said. “It was really good to get over them, especially as this is the first time we have won the Schools Championship. “We haven’t beaten them for a number of years, but to score 30 points in the final term and take the come-from-behind victory with great contributions from everyone - it was great to see so many people contribute on the big stage.”

The grass is greener
SPRING FEVER
By JARROD POTTER THE next generation Dandenong Little Athletics Centre champions run, jump and throw their hearts out every Saturday morning. The centre is located at Robert Booth Reserve - at Clow Street, Dandenong - and is home to one of Greater Dandenong’s Little Athletics centres, housing four athletics teams with St Gerards, Narre Warren, Doveton Endeavour Hills and Hampton Park competing at the venue. With hundreds of little athletes training in the complex each week, centre president Steve Fenton believes the great facilities and great community bring people back to DLAC each year to compete, giving kids from Dandenong, Doveton, Endeavour Hills, Narre Warren and Hampton Park a local venue to call home. “We have got good facilities here,” Fenton said. “It’s a really good grass track and the facilities are as good as anywhere with our amount of jump pits and discus rings and it all runs along fairly well. “We’re always looking for more people to come down and get involved and once people have signed up they grow to love it. “It’s only the second week on Saturday and with new families it can be daunting - but all the parents do the right thing and do their duties and the kids benefit.”

Six lengths... something to Crowe about By JASON ADAMS RALPHY Cinel claimed his third win in a row on Thursday evening at Sandown Park, having produced a dominant display to win by six lengths. In his 27th career start and eighth at Sandown Park, Ralphy Cinel sprung out of box eight to lead clearly first time past the post. Ralphy Cinel stopped the clock at 34.10, justifying his $2.50 favouritism. Trainer Joe Borg has only been training the greyhound since early April and hasn’t always had the highest opinion of his chaser, however owner Michael Crowe has always thought otherwise. “Initially I wasn’t too keen on training him, though Michael was adamant the greyhound had some serious ability so in the end I decided to give him a go. “After a month of training him I was surprised by the way he was able to improve every week... it was then I realised he had some real talent.” said Borg. Although Ralphy Cinel has led four of his past five races, Borg believes he could have been even faster early if it wasn’t for injury. “He had a minor injury and that
Snaring the first hat-trick of the summer, Ralphy Cinel proved too strong on Thursday winning by an astounding six lengths. 129254 took quite a while to heal - unfortunately I think it’s taken a couple of lengths away from him.” With the Group 1 SOLO Bold Trease just one month away, Borg has decided to bypass the series, instead head to December’s Group 1 Sale Cup. “I don’t think he will be able to run a strong 715m for the Bold Trease though
I hope he maintains this type of form - I’d love to take him to the Sale Cup, he’d be more suited to the 650m there.” TAB Melbourne Cup Prelude Series 3 will be run this Thursday night at Sandown Park, winners of each Prelude automatically qualify for the heats of the TAB Melbourne Cup on Thursday 13 November, with the $600,000 final to be run on Friday 21 November.
THE handicapper was right on the ball when he allocated Japanese visitor, Admire Rakti, top weight of 58kg as the seven-yearold won Saturday’s 137th running of the $3,150,000 Group 1 Crown Golden Ale Caulfield Cup (2400 metres) in impressive style. He will now be favourite for the Group 1 $6,200,000 Emirates Melbourne Cup (3200 metres). Admire Rakti was ridden by one of Australia’s top expat jockeys, Zac Purton having won last year’s Hong Kong premiership, and the pair were tough enough to run down the front runner in the straight, Rising Romance, who moved up from her sixth spot with 800m left to travel, for a strong run. Winner of the ATC Oaks in the autumn, the Donna Logantrained New Zealand mare Rising Romance had every chance with a lovely run along the rails but couldn’t hold off the international who mowed her down and she finished second best. Finishing off the Caulfield Cup trifecta in a close third was the beaten favourite, the Kris Lees-trained Turnbull Stakes winner Lucia Valentina who was brave in defeat with a wide run flashing home to lose few admirers. Admire Rakti, who won by 0.4 lengths with 0.5 lengths to third, was also forced to race wide and finished his race off well. Japan ran one-two in the 2006 Melbourne Cup with Delta Blues and Pop Rock. With Admire Rakti looking to become the second Japanese-trained winner of the ‘race that stops a nation’ Purton was thrilled with the win and said he rode the horse how he liked to be ridden, and how he was trained to be ridden back home, getting a gun run three wide with cover. “He was going to be hard to beat today,” Purton said, “We were three wide with a bit of cover, the Japanese horses love that… it’s the way they’re trained, that’s what they’re used to.” This week is full of action with Wednesday’s $315,000 Group 3 Geelong Cup (2400 metres) featuring several Melbourne Cup
contenders - Media Puzzle, Americain and Dunaden won the race before their Flemington success. Then follows the Cox Plate meeting at Moonee Valley over two days with the first on Friday evening, featuring the $1,015,000 Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200 metres) which will feature some of the nation’s best sprinters, including the current Australian Horse of the Year, Lankan Rupee and a decision will be made this week on a start for Chautauqua, this spring’s star sprinter, which will make an exciting contest. Saturday will see the $3,050,000 Group 1 Sportingbet Cox Plate (2040 metres). Last year Fawkner gave Lloyd Williams, the biggest resident racehorse owner in Australia, a long awaited missing trophy when he won the Caulfield Cup and this year he is set to add the Cox Plate, the only one of the ‘big three’ missing from the trophy cabinet to go with his four Melbourne Cups. Fawkner has come to hand superbly and second up was outstanding winning the Caulfield Stakes (2000 metres) on October 11. Second was Criterion and third the international visitor, Side Glance, who ran an unlucky sixth (beaten by four lengths) in the Cox Plate last year. He went on to win the LKS McKinnon Stakes at Flemington a week later. “The horse is flying... it’s a great credit to dad, he’s done a wonderful job with this horse”, said Nick Williams, son of Lloyd, after Fawkner’s Caulfield win, “Dad’s taken him along slowly... we’re seeing the benefits of that now.” Whilst Fawkner is the horse to beat, Criterion and Side Glance will be serious challengers although there is still a decision to be made about Side Glance starting. The Irish-trained, Adelaide is a class performer and The Cleaner from Tasmania will be a sentimental favourite. Sacred Falls and Happy Trails must be respected. Sportingbet Sandown Guineas Day will be held at Sportingbet Park, Sandown on Saturday, 15 November.

Dushan puts them up the creek Missed chances haunted Buckley Ridges as wicketkeeper Troy Aust lunged to miss a run out. 129253 Pictures: JARROD POTTER
By JARROD POTTER BUCKLEY RIDGES v BERWICK OUTMUSCLED on their home turf, Buckley Ridges was left to watch on as Berwick (9/311) flayed a monster tally at Park Oval. From all parts of the order Berwick had the upper hand. Buckley Ridges could not break the partnerships quickly enough as Ryan Williamson (36), Jarrod Goodes (20) and Bathiya Perera (21) started the onslaught. The true feast began after Dan Brown (28) fell to Wes Nicholas (2/102). It brought Dushan Wickramarathna (83) to the crease to commence his bombing raid. Wickramarathna was lethal to the flora and fauna surrounding the Dandenong Creek as he pummelled the river with six after six. His 83 came at one-day speed, leaving the last flourishes to Cory Bevan (41 not out) as Berwick surmounted 300. Dan Haasbroek (3/36) was tidy with his quicks and Matt Goodwright (2/54) also chipped in to claim a couple of wickets.
SPRINGVALE STH v HALLAM KALORA PK STEVE Masterson (80) led Springvale South (277) to an imposing target as the Bloods dripped down the order against Hallam Kalora Park (0/4). Masterson, Nathan King (29) and Mitch Forsyth (24) pushed the tally to 3/143 before leaving it to the lengthened batting order to get the job done. Captain Craig Slocombe (31) went the
tonk for a quick-fire salvo while the recently landed imports Ruwantha Kellepotha (25) and Yoshan Kumara (23) steered the Bloods towards stumps.
DANDENONG WEST v COOMOORA DESPERATE defending by the Dandenong West (228) tail kept the Bulls charging against Coomoora (2/9). Keiran Rodgers (36) watched the order fold around him as Luke Vincent (4/43) sunk his teeth into fresh beef of the middle order. It left the revival to Peter Atkinson (48) and Jacob Weeks
(40) who pushed the total above the double century mark and into troublesome territory for the Kangaroos. Coomoora missed the guidance of skipper Rob Johnston to finish the Bulls with his off-spin as Dandenong West held on and pushed to 228. Joel Robertson (2/38) was the other Kangaroo to kick through a pair of wickets. Shaun Weir (2/0) got in on the late day action as he gored Simon Corrigan (4) and Steve Giammario (0) to cap off a strong day at home.
Dan Haasbroek charges in against Berwick opener Brad James. 129253
PARKFIELD v MORDIALLOC PARKFIELD (38 and 5/24) had the stuffing knocked out of their premiership defence by Mordialloc (8/212dec) with the Bears no match for the Bloodhounds. Parkfield barely raised a hand in self-defence against the wrath of Mordialloc bowlers Chathura Athukorala (3/4 and 4/11) and Tim Wighton (4/11). With a scant 38 on the board, Mordialloc blew past the home side for first innings points as Ian Daniel (87 and 3/8) excelled with bat or ball. The second-up effort of Athukorala left the
Bears perilously dangling five wickets away from outright loss on Saturday.
LYNDALE v NTH DANDENONG LYNDALE (241) has the prime position against North Dandenong (2/39) following a strong outing with the blade. Scott Neeson (5/25) restricted the home side to take his second fivefor in DDCA Turf 1. In response, North Dandenong lost its openers to leave Craig Gunawardana (3 not out) and Jurgen Andersen (2 not out) to resume next week.

PREMIER CRICKET
Panthers’ run chase falls short By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG (237) could not nix the Camberwell Mapgies’ (7/269cc) top order as Simon Hill (74) and numberthree Daniel Rawson (84) plundered a 109-run partnership to set up the victory. The pair were finally broken as Hill fell to Dan Doran (1/56), spinning his way past the Camberwell opener’s edge and into the gloves of David Alleyne. From there the heavy lifting fell to Rawson who carried on pushing Camberwell to 4/236 before he was claimed by a strong James Nanopoulos’ catch off Justin Butterfield (2/56). Nathan Lambden (2/43) had a great day in the field as he pinched two wickets and earned a run-out. The Panthers fought back through their own top order - Tom Donnell (77) and Brett Forsyth (55) dusted off their scintillating top-order dynamic to pile
on 123 to start the chase. Both would fall to Simon O’Brien (2/28) before the rest of the batting started to give way and collapse. Peter Sweeney (35) and James Pattinson (29) did what they could, but the Magpies had the arsenal necessary to win the battle. Mark Dwyer (4/42) led the charge down the Dandenong order to finish the task at hand and dismiss the Panthers 32 runs shy. Dandenong played Geelong on Sunday as part of the one-day double header round. Results were unavailable at the time of the Journal going to print.
WOMEN’S PREMIER CRICKET DANDENONG Lions (7/120) batted deeply to take the points away from Essendon Maribyrnong Park (118). Julie Hunter (1/17) and Emma Gallagher (1/12) kept proceedings economical for the Lions as the visitors failed to push on and live up to their top-of-theladder billing. The key wicket of Molly
Strano (37) fell after a gutsy innings. Her knock was ended by Primrose Wohlers (5/23) who went on to claim her first five-wicket haul in her Premier Cricket/VWCA history. Wohlers stormed through the Bombers tail with Emily Smith (18 not out) the only batswoman to survive the carnage. The response was guided by Sarah Elliott (58 not out) as she continued her not-out season start with Australian team mate Hunter (21) and Shelly Hart (18) sticking around to let the Test specialist chase the runs at the other end. Brighton District (1/89) chased the Dandenong (86) seconds tally as Lions’ captain Carin Eastburn (30 and 1/3) continued her strong start to the year with the bat. Dandenong hosts Box Hill on Saturday for a shot at top spot in the Women’s Premier Cricket ladder.

Note: * - not out. cc - compulsorily closure. dec - declared.
THE cross-town rivalry renewed again as Endeavour Hills (146) and Noble Park (1/66) locked horns. The reigning premiers flexed their mighty bowling attack early as the Eagles lost Justin Merlino (1) to a Rizan Mawzoon (4/53) thunderbolt that edged to Mevan Fernando. The responsibility fell to Zach Allen (50) - with the Southern Pioneers representative batsman showcasing his true capabilities. His last big knock was 83 plundered on the MCG in February against Inner South East Scorpions - but his steadying half-ton on Saturday held great significance to the Endeavour Hills’ revival. Allen would lose his wicket immediately after raising the bat as Fernando (1/24) straightened one of his spinners to force the young batsman out LBW. Andrew Berman (2/14) and Maw-
zoon continued to chip away at the Eagles before Ben Swift (43) stopped their advance. Swift was left to anchor the innings as wickets fell about him. The wicketkeeper-batsman posted his best score for the club and was only denied a half-century by a lack of support at the other end. Mawzoon and Marasinghe Perera (2/31) also played a significant part in denying Swift his maiden VSDCA half-century as they ran through the tail. Swift’s valiant knock would end as he edged Mawzoon to his opposite keeper Dirk Vandergert, leaving Endeavour Hills with 146 in the bank off 56.2 overs. Andrew O’Meara’s (3) slow start to the season continued as Chris Periera (1/19) found the opening wicket. O’Meara’s edge to Merlino would be the only Eagles’ highlight for the Noble Park innings as Sanjeewa de Silva (30 not out) and Perera (26) knocked off nearly half the required total by stumps.

MOTORING
Turbo revved and stylish OTHER than using less fuel we haven’t seen any real need to buy turbo-diesel engines in small or midsize cars - until now. That sudden change of mind happened within seconds of us getting behind the wheel of a Mazda3 with a 2.2-litre SkyActive-D diesel engine. The engine is smooth, has minimal lag and revs far more readily than diesels from all other marques. A sports diesel? Yes, it certainly is. The big-grille that’s such a feature of Mazda’s latest styling theme plays a major part in its sales success on every model on which it’s used. The all-new Mazda3 is the best iteration yet of this interesting style, at least in my humble opinion. While it’s lower than its predecessors, the third generation Mazda3 is longer overall and in its wheelbase. The resulting shorter overhangs give it a sportier look and the longer wheelbase makes for more interior space.The sleek new body not only looks good but also provides best-in-class coefficient of drag, at 0.28 for the hatch. Part of this low number is due to an ‘active’ radiator grille shutter that opens just enough to provide the correct amount of cooling no matter what the outside air temperature. The exciting new Mazda turbodiesel engine puts out 129 kW of power and 420 Nm of torque, num-
bers that are well above those we normally see in an engine of this type. Response is spread throughout the rev range by using twin turbochargers. A small unit operates at low engine speeds, it then works with a large turbo at mid-range speeds. At higher speeds the large unit takes over to supply boost to the greater mass of air the engine demands.This, coupled with a very low compression ratio, it’s just 14:1 compared with conventional units that require at least 17:1, to give a nice balance between performance and economy. The new turbo-diesel shows an improvement of up to 12 per cent in fuel efficiency over the previous diesel engine. Mazda’s brake energy regeneration system plays its part in this drop in fuel use and emissions. The i-stop system automatically cuts out the engine after the vehicle comes to a stop. When the brake is released, fuel is injected into the cylinder to make for a smoother restart of the engine than is normal in other four-cylinder units, petrol or diesel. Six-speed manual and automatic transmissions are offered, our test car had the automatic. Tagged SkyActive-Drive, the auto has a computer link to the engine and cuts engine torque during changes so the car has quick gear changes with minimal shift shock.
In addition to crash protection items, this Mazda three does its best to stop crashes in the first place. Major features included dynamic stability control, anti-lock braking and electronic brakeforce distribution. Then there is blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, high lane departure warning, forward obstruction warning and city brake support. A reversing camera cuts the risk of running over someone or something in the driveway. Mazda3 has a head-up display that projects driving information onto the windscreen. We are told the focal point is about 1.5 metres in front of the driver’s eye point, we can certainly report that it requires minimal eye movement to focus. The display includes vehicle speed, automatic cruise control speed settings and navigation. Also aboard a Mazda3 for the first time is ‘commander control’, with a central knob and cluster of switches, it’s linked to the seveninch display screen on the central dashboard. Operation requires minimum hand and eye movement and some of the functions also come with voice control. As usual, voice control is in its early days and seldom works well. Body rigidity on the third generation ‘3 has been increased by 30 per cent compared to the previous Mazda3.
Now you’re Torquing. With the added boost of over $15,000 of additional value, these C 250 CDI Coupés will go fast.
This shows in a solid feel that’s almost to the standard of the best Germans in this class, indeed, you could slot the Mazda into the next size up in sophistication and luxury. However, on some surfaces tyre noise intrusions - a longtime problem in some Mazdas - spoils cabin ambience. Handling is sharp and positive, a further benefit of a stronger chassis on which the suspension components are mounted. This diesel Mazda3 couldn’t be called a sports sedan but it comes a lot closer than anticipated. Mazda says the XD is capable of getting fuel consumption as low as 5.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined urban/ highway cycle. However, in real life driving we found the figures to be around eight to nine litres per 100 during around town driving, while five to sixes were the norm on the open road which are not bad numbers for a sporting vehicle, not an economy special. Attractive to look at, with good handling and plenty of engine performance, the Mazda3 XD turbodiesel hatch showcases the amount of technical skill coming from the Japanese maker of quality smallmedium cars. Model range XD Astina Diesel 2.2-litre diesel five-door hatch: $40,230 (manual), $42,230 (automatic).
Sleek styling of the Mazda3 XD Astina turbo-diesel certainly suits its sporting nature.
