■ Mosque takes tough line as congregation booms...

Parking prayers By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS WORSHIPPERS clogging up nearby streets with illegal parking face being named, shamed and possibly banned from their mosque if they don’t mend their ways. The threat comes as the mosque, in a congested part of Cleeland Street, Dandenong, has been allowed to double its Friday congregation despite a 200-plus car parking shortfall.

The Dandenong Turkish Islamic and Cultural Society has said it will do what it can to knock its congregation into line to minimise the disruption caused by the increase. In a heated meeting last Monday, divided Greater Dandenong councillors approved the centre’s request to increase maximum on-site worshipper numbers from 150 to 300 on Fridays between noon and 2pm. Its numbers have also been permit-

ted to swell from 300 to 500 during the month-long Ramadan and the end of the Kurban period. Parking comes under acute stress in the area which is surrounded by houses, Chisholm TAFE, Dandenong Hospital, clinics and Dandenong North Primary School. The Islamic society, which has no plans to increase its 41-space off-street car park, has pledged “zero tolerance” for illegal parking by its congregation.

Mosque vice-president Suleyman Sahingoz said members monitored nearby streets and would be “naming and shaming” repeat culprits in front of the congregation. “If it happens two or three times, that person will be banned from the mosque.” He said the inconvenience caused was brief because the Friday service lasted only 20 minutes. A sizeable number of worshippers

walked to the service and drivers were invited to use the TAFE’s car park during that time, he said. “The problems are overstated, to be honest. But it doesn’t mean we don’t take it seriously.” Mr Sahingoz disputed claims that the mosque’s numbers would continue to climb. He said the mosque had open communication with its neighbours.

New year’s a go for the Goat THOUSANDS welcomed in the Year of the Goat at Springvale’s Lunar Festival on Sunday, under clear skies and with the mercury nudging 33 degrees. Among those soaking up the atmosphere and adding a touch of drama with a lot of noise were the Cambodian Lion Dance group, seen weaving their spell through the streets of Springvale.

Crimes of desperation By CASEY NEILL CUTS to emergency relief budgets will cause a crime spike in Greater Dandenong, a leading charity worker fears. Dandenong Benevolent Society president Margaret Ladner said the group would not receive the $58,000 Federal Government grant it applied for. “I’ve been here 30 years and I’ve always had Federal Government money,” she said. This followed news that Springvale Benevolent Society had missed out on its $70,000 Department of Social Services (DSS) grant and that at least two other

Greater Dandenong groups would also have to go on without federal support. “You’re going to get more crime,” Ms Ladner said. “Desperation – it does things to people.” About 40 people attended a forum on the issue in Springvale on Friday 6 February, including representatives from the Vietnamese Community in Australia, the Cambodian Association of Victoria and the Dandenong Community Advice Bureau. “The other agencies are feeling it as well,” Ms Ladner said. “Let’s hope the government does think about it and change a wee bit.

“I’ve got three guys sleeping at my back door. They’ve got nowhere to go.” Ms Ladner provides food vouchers, toys and a variety of other support to about 150 people each week. “All the agencies send them to me mental health, Centrelink, asylum seekers...” she said. She already has to turn people away and said it would get worse. “I’m alright just now - I’ve still got toys for kids and I’ve still got food in the cupboards,” she said. “This benevolent society’s been going for 60 years. “I’ve got a great bunch of volunteers

here. We’ll keep going until there’s nothing left.” Ms Ladner said the society’s support had helped people to stay out of jail and often helped people escape from family violence. “The Dandenong people themselves are so generous,” she said. “I got broken into about two years ago. One organisation donated $4000. Another man walked off the street and he put $500 on the counter. “We’re still getting support from the ordinary working class person. “The government are sitting up there, and they’re not cutting back, are they?”

Leaders promote positive image YOUNG people can help their community and themselves by putting their hand up. The City of Greater Dandenong is calling for 16 to 25-yearolds for its Young Leaders program. They’ll drive and deliver a project to learn a variety skills such as leadership, public speaking, project management and networking. A family violence forum, a bullying-themed film competition and English classes are projects that previous Young Leaders have delivered. Rohullah Rahimi was in the 2012 group, now works for the council’s Youth Services and just picked up with city’s Young Citizen of the Year Australia

Day award. “I was interested in developing leadership skills but also improving confidence, self-esteem and knowing my strengths,” he said. “The main idea behind this was to be helpful for my community.” Mr Rahimi said the group found through a survey of young people that body image was an issue. They shared ideas and skills to create a body image project and delivered it to high school students. Carroll Doran has signed up for this year’s Young Leaders, looking for something different after working on the region’s FReeZA committee for four years.

Mosque issues parking threat “The main reason we’re here is to help the community,” Mr Sahingoz said. “We’re the ones who have to live with our neighbours and our neighbours have to live with us.” Last Monday, opposing councillors listed neighbours’ complaints of illegal parking over driveways, impediments to emergency vehicles and lack of access to nearby homes and businesses. Cr Angela Long cited the case of a parent with a disabled child who was hindered from catching a taxi outside their house. “Some churches don’t pay

rates... and I’m not against that but our ratepayers are very upset they can’t get into their own driveway.” Cr Matthew Kirwan later accused “some councillors” of worrying more about votes at the next election than making the “right decision”. “This was a planning matter pure and simple and a lack of 227 car spaces on-site can’t be ignored by a responsible council. Apartment developers will now have a field day asking for (parking) reductions.” Cr Jim Memeti praised the site’s location and said worshippers walked from Dandenong Market, the hospital and the TAFE. Cr Roz Blades said the hos-

pital could help by lowering its parking fees. She said many hospital visitors could not afford to park there, further clogging sidestreets. At the meeting, Crs Memeti and Heang Tak took umbrage at Cr Kirwan’s assertion that the mosque was in the wrong location. Cr Memeti - who said he took “strong offence” - said the mosque was in just as “right a location” as St Mary’s Catholic Church. Cr Kirwan retorted that Cr Memeti was misrepresenting him. “It’s in the wrong place because it’s in a street with not enough parking.”

A CARJACKER is being hunted after threatening two drivers and leaving one car in flames. A woman, 44, stopped at Corrigan Road traffic lights near Athol Road in her blue Kia Carnival about 9.35pm on Friday 6 February. Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Kim Alp said a man got into the passenger seat and demanded that the victim continue to drive. She jumped out of the car so the carjacker took the wheel, but he soon collided with two poles and a boom gate at Lightwood and Corrigan roads. He continued to drive with only three wheels for another 300 metres before the car caught fire. The carjacker then stopped another driver, a 31-year-old man in a blue Toyota RAV4, and forced him to drive to Heatherton and Chandler roads. He got out of the car at a Woolworths petrol station and fled on foot. Sen Const Alp said there were no weapons involved and that the CFA extinguished the car fire. She urged any witnesses to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Hooning increases dangers for all road users ROAD policing in the Greater Dandenong Local Government Area presents police with a number of challenges. The primary focus of road policing is to reduce fatal collisions and trauma. The cost of road trauma to the community is enormous in economic, social and environmental terms. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol has primary responsibility to the public within the City of Greater Dandenong for road safety. The activities of the Highway Patrol aim to reduce trauma through certain functions. These include enforcement, safety camera placement, booze bus operations and support and highly visible patrols, to name a few. A great deal of time is spent on identifying times and places where policing resources need to be allocated. This is to provide the public with policing ser-

vice at times of highest road trauma. Recently, individuals and groups have been engaged in intentional high risk driving throughout the south-eastern suburbs. By allocating resources to address this intentional behaviour, our ability to provide service to the public at times of greatest need is reduced. Hoon driving is high-risk and deliberate. The risks are death or serious injury. The sanctions for those caught participating include jail.

These activities involve the deliberate loss of traction on roads, dragging, unlawful gatherings and public disorder. Because more police are rostered on duty when most traffic crashes are expected to occur there are fewer officers available to police late night hoon activity. The Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol, with assistance from other policing areas and partner agencies, will be focusing more heavily on those involved in intentional high risk driving through various means. These will include CCTV surveillance in risk areas and police presence at hoon events to enforce state laws and new bylaws designed to reduce the incidence of unlawful gatherings. Hoon activities are inherently dangerous, particularly where spectators and bystanders are close to vehicles engaged in intentional high-risk driving.

Aside from the obvious dangers posed by these activities, the disorder and accompanying street crime exposes the general public to danger. Local business is affected when the amenity of their environment is destroyed and infrastructure damage directly affects income. While road safety is a key focus of Victoria Police, it requires an all of community approach to eradicate trauma and the risks to road users. I encourage everyone to report instances of hoon behaviour through triple zero or Crime Stoppers and understand that intentional high risk driving is extremely dangerous to all road users. It diverts finite resources away from high trauma times. To those who continue to engage in this behaviour, your risk of death or serious injury is significantly increased, the sanctions are severe and you expose innocent people to unacceptable levels of risk.

20 years ago 20 February 1995 Gimme Shelter LACK of support is threatening the future of a youth program aimed at keeping kids in crisis off the streets and out of institutions. Startling statistics released last week revealed 565 students from 20 schools in the south-east region were homeless. Wesley Youth Services co-ordinator Mr

Peter Scott said dwindling numbers of volunteer families meant young homeless people were now being turned away. The Dandenong-based program, which offers homeless teenagers a bed, a bit of love and the security of a family environment, desperately need more replacement families. 5 years ago 15 February 2010 City’s food and wine festival role to be explored LIZ van Doorn from Vic Urban will talk about Dandenong’s involvement in the 2010 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival when she is guest speaker at the Dandenong Retail Traders Association meeting at 6pm on Tuesday March 2 at the Ramada Encore Hotel.

Parking on a prayer By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong Council is considering a buy-up of land to ease parking congestion near a mosque and a church in residential streets of Dandenong South. The council’s costly options include buying either Melbourne Water parkland if available or acquiring up to three properties in Dalgety and Francis streets to build a community car park. It launched an investigation after receiving a pro-car park petition of more than 1000 signatures supported by the Albanian Islamic Centre in Dalgety Street and the Russian Orthodox Church in Morwell Street. Council officers noted that 477 of the 1003 signatories lived outside Greater Dandenong. The council found heavy congestion and illegal parking across driveways and on nature strips near the places of assembly during peak service times. Albanian Islamic Centre member Alam Bhuiyan said the community was “crying out” for a car park due to the mosque outgrowing its on-site 52-space car park. “When we built it 40 years ago, they probably didn’t need a bigger car park at the time,“ he said. “Since then a lot of people moved into the area.” The mosque has a permit for 40 visitors in its learning room and up to 150 for funerals. Mr Bhuiyan estimates that several hundred, possibly a thousand, people flock to the mosque for its 1.30pm Friday services. At that time he said a public bus service was hampered by heavy traffic and parking congestion.

Councillors have ruled out another $1 million-plus option of acquiring houses and building on 34 and 36 Dalgety Street and possibly on a vacant block at 1b Francis Street.

Mayor Sean O’Reilly said it was “extremely problematic” and an “option of last resort”. Councillor Jim Memeti, who supported the push for the Melbourne Water land option, said the compulsory acquisition of homes “doesn’t make sense”. “I wouldn’t even consider that (option) to build a car park,” Cr Memeti said. “I even complained to the (council report) presenter that it was about scaremongering. “That shouldn’t come into the

NEW

equation.” He said the car park could be used by Dandenong Train Station commuters and Dandenong CBD workers outside of Fridays, especially when Places Victoria delivers its promised Allan Street bridge across Dandenong Creek this year. Cr Matthew Kirwan said it was a “dead issue” if the Melbourne Water land was unavailable. “I wouldn’t support compulsory acquisition and that hasn’t been given even more than cursory consideration as a possible option.” He supported a small car park on part of the Melbourne Water site for better access to a playground, open space and walking path as well as nearby “parking overflow issues”. “Having a car park to access a park is an usual practice.” Cr Peter Brown opposed the council providing car parking primarily for the two places of assembly. “The tenor of the (council) report is it will cost an arm and a leg. “Council officers said it would be, effectively, a waste of money. “The parking problems are with the people late for worship and wanting to get to the mosque on time. “There’s plenty of parking places within walking distance.” Melbourne Water regional waterways and land manager Greg Bain told the Journal the water authority was reviewing its future ownership of the land. “Under Victorian Government policy we are unable to gift land but would provide the council with the first opportunity to buy the land if we sell it,” he said.

THE Journal received a letter last week from an incensed Dandenong North resident demanding to know who shot a dove with a slug gun in Menzies Avenue. The author didn’t hold back, penning a stream of invective calling the gun-toting offender a ‘creep’, ‘a low life’, ‘a guttersnipe’ and an ‘A. hole’. Signing off as Animal/bird Lover the author also threatened to buy a slug gun and subject the perpetrator to some of his or her own medicine.

“EMERGENCY. Evacuate. Evacuate. Evacuate,” and alarms rang out at full volume in Dandenong Police Station last Tuesday. An announcement preceded the half-hour emergency system test, instructing everyone to ignore the warnings. But the deafening noise quickly forced the weekly media briefing outdoors, and many officers were close behind. “It’s getting way too annoying in there,” one officer said, seeking refuge.

IT WAS a race for the floor between two councillors at last Monday’s fiery council meeting. To kick off the debate on the Cleeland Street mosque, councillors Jim Memeti and Angela Long rose nearly simultaneously to launch opposing motions. The two squared off like duellists and parried for a while, each insisting they were up first. Neither was willing to back down. It was left to chairperson and mayor Sean O’Reilly to decide the ‘winner’ was Cr Memeti - though he was unable to decide who stood first. OOPS, the Journal made an error last week– erroneously calling for people who had descendants who served at Gallipoli rather than ancestors. One reader was so outraged at this slip-up that he rang twice to let us know of this “terrible, terrible” mistake. Pity he couldn’t be as helpful with our search for WWI diggers. If you do have an ancestor who served at Gallipoli we’d love to hear from you on 5945 0642 or email Journal@starnewsgroup.com.au. IT’S a costly way to avoid jail but no doubt worth every cent. A magistrate last week told an accused that if they hadn’t repaid $110,000 of stolen monies from a business they would certainly have gone to prison.

WE THOUGHT we’d bring you one more snippet from The Nordan Variety Artistes. Last week we mentioned that the seniors band's lead guitarist Antoine Lim-How had performed with music legend Stevie Wonder. Here’s a photo of the two of them together.

The accused will instead serve his ‘time’ on a 12-month community-corrections order including 96 hours of volunteer work. THE Journal was thrilled to see some kind words for Dandenong on Twitter last week. Jack tweeted that when he lived in Melbourne, “Dandenong was the place that had a community feel”. “It wasn’t shiny, but it felt human,” he said. What do like most about Greater Dandenong?

WITH regard to the open space in Glendale Reserve (Open Space Could Be Council Cash Cow, Journal, 2 February) I believe council should preserve this land as parkland as it is the only park in this part of Springvale. I support Cr Angela Long wanting to keep the park as open space for residents who want the park to be kept intact. As Ms Jean Harris said, the park was made by the war service for the community and Minaret College already has two houses next to the park which they can build a kindergarten on if they so wish. Springvale is in need of more open space and it would be better that the park was expanded to make more open space. There is a requirement for a certain amount of open space per 1000 residents and council should be more vigilant in meeting this requirement.

People and animals need open space to survive and thrive. Salome Argyropoulos, Springvale.

Policemen’s blade threat A MAN has been refused bail after allegedly confronting police officers with a bladed weapon while burgling a Dandenong chemist. Qasim Alimovski of Dandenong had spent 55 days remanded in custody before Tuesday’s bail application over what Magistrate Greg Connellan described as an “escalation of offences”. Mr Connellan deemed Alimovski, who was being treated for psychosis, was an “unacceptable risk” of re-offending. In the first of the allegations, Alimovski blew smoke into a smoke alarm at Dandenong Hospital’s mental health unit in the hope of releasing fire doors for all of the units. Police informant Senior Constable Daniel Jelley told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that the applicant had earlier been refused access to pick up his friend from the unit. After his arrest that day he allegedly threatened his wife at knifepoint at home. The court was told Alimovski demanded $1000 or he would pour petrol on her and burn her, as well as threatening to burn down her parents’ house. Soon after, as Alimovski was being driven to a friend’s house, he allegedly pulled a

knife on his brother. A subsequent police search failed to find the knife. While on bail over those allegations, Alimovski allegedly stole a bike in Thomas Street, Dandenong, and rode to Chemist Warehouse in Lonsdale Street early on 16 January. Sen Const Jelley said he smashed a rooftop window at the chemist and allegedly stole a packet of toilet paper, a meat cleaver and ice creams. He also took a sauce bottle, poured it over a computer and its hard drive and caused $2000 damage, stealing $100 of items including paracetamol tablets, chocolate bars, mini-torches and a Chemist Warehouse jacket. Two police officers, who entered the building with the chemist’s manager, were “confronted” by the applicant holding what was variously described as a “meat cleaver” or “butcher’s knife”. As he advanced at police, an apparently “drug affected” and “delusional” Alimovski was squirted with capsicum spray and handcuffed, Sen Const Jelley told the court. The applicant was deemed unsuitable for a police interview at the time due to his “psychotic state”. From the dock, Alimovski vehemently denied he had a

drug problem though police alleged he’d admitted to an ice habit. Police conceded they had never found the applicant with illicit drugs. Alimovski’s lawyer Adrian Desi argued that his time in custody had exceeded the likely sentence for the allegations, all of which his client denied. “The picture that is being painted is of a man not getting support (from health services).” Mr Desi said his client had complied with treatment in remand and was likely to receive on-going treatment if granted bail. Monash Health forensic nurse Donna Kendall told the court there were no available psychiatric beds in the state. She said there would be “concerns” about Alimovski reattending Dandenong Hospital. Mr Connellan said he was concerned that Alimovski appeared to lack insight into his condition and would not “engage with the hospital system”. “If I got an assessment that he has insight and there’s a bed in the outside (health) system, your case would be stronger.” Alimovski was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 3 March.

DANDENONG JOURNAL

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN has been refused bail after allegedly being found with the drug ice while waiting to appear in court for posessing a pen pistol and for other firearm and prohibited weapons charges at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court. The magistrate suggested that the man should be dealt with by a drugs court instead. Ashley Oxlade, 32, had been remanded in custody on Monday last week after “unfortunately and foolishly” bringing the drug to court, his lawyer told the same court the following day. The court was told a Protective Services Officer found Oxlade carrying about 1.8 grams of ice in eight small bags after seeing him acting “suspiciously” outside.

Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Maria Eales told the court that Oxlade had been earlier bailed after Dandenong CIU detectives found him with a pen pistol during a raid of his girlfriend’s house in Noble Park North on 14 January. Oxlade had been recently released from prison at the time. The accused was also facing allegations of carrying six bladed weapons and a plastic imitation firearm after running from the rear passenger seat of an unregistered car after it was stopped by police in Carlton. In October, police allegedly intercepted him walking in Waverley Gardens car park shortly after midnight carrying a film canister of cannabis, a flickknife disguised as a cigarette lighter, another bladed weapon

and a knuckleduster. His lawyer conceded Oxlade had a “significant criminal history” but had successfully completed a community corrections order two years ago and had a “perfect record” on parole. Oxlade had a congenital disability hindering his body strength and movement, and suffered depression and anxiety, the court was told. Magistrate Greg Connellan, in delivering his sentence indication, said Oxlade faced jail but “wouldn’t be upset” if the case was diverted to Dandenong Drug Court. “I wouldn’t want Mr Oxlade to get charged with a whole lot of other offences and not get into the drug court.” Oxlade was remanded to appear at the court on 12 March.

Police probe PSOs spray Ram-raid VICTORIA Police is investigating allegations that a PSO unjustly and repeatedly sprayed two teenage boys with capsicum foam at Springvale Railway Station. Last week the ABC revealed CCTV footage of the incident on 7 June last year. It showed two PSOs stopped one of the 17-year-olds and took his details when he jumped the station turnstiles. He made a run for the train and his friend, who had a valid ticket, followed. CCTV showed that the officers pursued them, signalled the train to stop and dragged them from the carriage. Footage also showed the PSOs

brought the boy who had a valid ticket to the ground and repeatedly sprayed both boys with capsicum spray. The ABC said the boy with a ticket was charged with assaulting and hindering PSOs but a magistrate last month acquitted him. “There is nothing in his behaviour or body language that justifies him being sprayed,” the magistrate is reported to have said. The ABC said the other boy admitted fare evasion and completed a diversionary program. Assistant Commissioner Chris O’Neill told the ABC that he ordered a review of the incident which would take about six weeks.

charges

AN 18-YEAR-OLD has been bailed to answer 14 charges over a series of ram-raids two weeks ago. Police allege he stole cash registers and cash and dumped a stolen car in a park in Frawley Road, Eumemmerring. Police arrested the Eumemmerring man on Sunday night and charged him with five counts of burglary, five counts of criminal damage, two counts of theft, theft of a motorbike and handling stolen goods.

By CASEY NEILL LIFE’S now a beach for more than 50 Afghan refugees from Dandenong. They took part in a beach awareness program at the Brighton Life Saving Club on 31 January. Club president Danielle Smith said the day included a presentation about things they had to be mindful of at the beach. “About swimming between the flags, about rock areas - the sort of things we take for granted,” she said. “They did a beach walk and we talked about the different parts of our beach. “They also got to participate

in a water activity. They got a chance to have a bit of fun and interact with the life savers, and just get that understanding.” The day’s activities also covered lakes and rivers and common waterside signage. “This is the first year we’ve run it for that particular group,” Ms Smith said. “This is something we would like to continue doing. “We got to meet a whole group of lovely people and they were so delightful to have at the club. “The screams of excitement when some of the kids caught waves and watching the joy on their faces was so rewarding. “I think the volunteers got

just as much out of it as some of the participants.” Support for the program came from Catholic Care in Dandenong, Surf Life Saving Australia, Life Saving Australia, VicHealth, City of Greater Dandenong and Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus. “It’s so important for people from areas where they haven’t had a chance to participate in beach activities to get involved and go and ask questions before they jump into the water to make sure they’re safe,” Ms Smith said. “We’ve got great beaches. We want everyone to enjoy them, but we want to them stay safe.”

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS

Vote voice for equality By CASEY NEILL NOBLE Park’s Nina Springle is determined to be a truly representative voice for the southeast in State Parliament. Last November the 41-yearold single mother was among five South-Eastern Metropolitan Region representatives who were elected to the Legislative Council. During her inaugural speech on 10 February, Ms Springle told the Upper House that she was “from working class stock”. “It was not that long ago that, as a single parent, I struggled to buy milk for my children at the end of the fortnight,” she said. “I know what it is like to live hand to mouth, to take food stamps to get through to the next Centrelink payment and to not know how you will pay the next month’s rent.” Ms Springle was involved in student politics when studying a masters degree in international and community development but aligned with The Greens and decided to run for office in 2010. “I had put off joining a political party for a long time because I valued my independence but realised it was very hard to run without the backing of a party,” she said. She told the Journal that providing a voice for the region was her biggest motivator. “We have quite a number of really safe seats in the Lower House in this region,” she said. “With that comes a little bit of complacency from the elected representatives, because they

don’t really need to do very much to get re-elected. “I think it’s really important that people out in the outer suburbs have a voice that they can actually tangibly grasp onto.” Ms Springle was “in shock” when she found out she’d been successful in her bid, two and a half weeks after election day and following “the recount of the recount”. She’s been named The Greens spokeswoman for children and families, women, family violence prevention and multicultural affairs. The mother of a son, 14, and daughter, 15, has experience in all portfolio areas. She moved to Noble Park in 2009 to look after her grandfather. “My grandparents had built the house that I now live in when they migrated over from Europe after the Second World War,” she said. She managed Noble Park Community Centre for three years from 2009, her legacy including a pilot project to address disaffected Sudanese youth congregating in public spaces. “We also did some work around developing some initiatives for family violence,” she said. Ms Springle has a bachelor of arts in literature and worked overseas as a writer and with publishing companies, including five years in Africa. “My children are half-African and I had met their father there while I was travelling,” she said.

She told parliament that Azahn and Rukaya were “multiculturalism personified, with your Anglo-European and African-Arab heritage”. Her time in Africa strengthened a resolve to improve life for women that stemmed from watching her grandmothers struggle against societal oppression. “My life purpose became the quest for equality for all,” she said. In parliament Ms Springle revealed that she, like one in four Victorian women, had had an abortion. “Let us tackle head-on the most significant justice issue of our time,” she said. “This is not just an issue of reproductive rights but one of self-determination. “A woman’s power to make decisions affecting her own body is fundamental to her identity and to her freedom.” She told the Journal that her top political priorities included ensuring the Family Violence Royal Commission recommendations were implemented and assisting community services. The South-Eastern Metropolitan Region covers 11 electorates that are “so diverse”. “We’ll be doing a lot of community consultation over the next six months to really try and get a grasp on what the issues are for people out here and what we can tangibly do to advocate for some positive change,” Ms Springle said. “It’s early days.”

IN BRIEF You have bin warned

School in Noble Park buddied its newest children with more experienced students so they could learn the ropes - and the books, puppets and hula hoops.

FIRE attacks on rubbish bins have prompted police to warn residents to bring in their bins as quickly as possible after they have been emptied. Greater Dandenong Police Service Area Inspector Bruce Kitchen said vandals had set alight several bins on nature strips in recent weeks. “Try to put your bin out as late as possible and take it off the roadway first thing in the morning when it’s been emptied.” Insp Kitchen also urged residents to be on alert for potential firebugs hanging around grass areas. “And if you do smoke, butt out your cigarette and put it in an ash tray or a proper receptacle,” he said.

DINNER UNDER THE STARS 12 March 2015

THE KELLYS TEAM UP FOR WALLARA’S DINNER UNDER THE STARS * * Places still available but tickets selling fast * * On Thursday 12 March, Wallara will once again host it’s ‘Dinner Under the Stars’ Charity Fundraiser at its award winning HQ site in Potter St. Dandenong. After cocktails and canapés in the Palmtree Courtyard guests will be transported to The Castle for a fabulous gourmet meal and entertainment headlined by Moira and Emmanuel Kelly. The event brings together leaders in business and community to celebrate the diversity of people with different abilities and funds raised from the evening go towards providing further opportunities for people at Wallara to enhance the quality of their lives. Wallara Champion, Emmanuel Kelly, will head up the entertainment. Emmanuel has performed at this event in the past and despite his growing success overseas, continues to mentor and support the guys at Wallara. Emmanuel’s adoptive Mum, Moira Kelly, will be keynote speaker. Moira is a renowned humanitarian and has devoted her whole life to charity work and those special causes close to her heart that just ‘make the world a better place‘. Moira spent many years living abroad caring for sick and needy children and their families in countries like India, South Africa, America, Romania, Bosnia and Albania. A deeply spiritual person, Moira is guided by her heart and conscience towards the many causes she pursues. Through a magical combination of her vision, natural charm, powers of persuasion, determination and sheer grit, Moira has saved and improved the lives of countless children and communities around the world. Many are inspired by Moria Kelly’s personal sacrifice, passionate commitment and her life-long dedication to doing whatever it takes to save and heal children and communities in need. Wherever she goes, Moira makes a real difference to real people in surreal ways! Moira’s achievements and outlook on life are a huge inspiration to us all and the Wallara Ambassadors who assist in presenting the event will also give an insight into some of the challenges that they overcome in living life with different abilities. Wallara official caterer, Going Gourmet, will once again plate up fine food and wine and there will be a short, fun filled auction to complete the evening. For more information or to secure your tickets, call Julie today on 03 9792 2985. Dinner Under the Stars 2015 is proudly partnered by:

Vigilance is key to crime TOYOTA and Nissan owners are being told to take care of their car keys on Fridays and Saturdays following a 100 per cent increase in car crime. Dandenong police Inspector Bruce Kitchen said thieves were stealing about 25 cars within the Greater Dandenong Police Service Area (PSA) each week - up from about 12 per week. He said officers were targeting the crime and urged car owners to keep their keys close. “Over the last couple of months it has increased,” he said. “I’ve seen a slow trend since the start of the financial year. They come in cycles.” Insp Kitchen said thieves were targeting residential streets, shopping precincts and mechanics, and usually struck on a Friday or Saturday. “The ’80s and ’90s models are the most popular.” He said thieves often stole car keys from swimming pools and other public places. “They’re pinching them from change rooms or in offices when they see keys sitting on a desk,” he said. Insp Kitchen suggested investing in a locker at public spaces or removing the car key from the rest and keeping it in a pocket.

Number plate crime nailed FOUR people are facing court after a police crackdown on number plate crime. Greater Dandenong Police Service Area Inspector Bruce Kitchen said the operation included 11 shifts over six weeks and targeted 6077 vehicles. He said officers issued 18 infringement notices for unregistered or uninsured vehicles and fraudulent use of number plates. They also processed four people for a number of criminal matters. Insp Kitchen urged car owners to install one-way screws to secure their plates against theft. He said stolen plates were often used in other crimes, including petrol drive-offs and burglaries.

Hunt for brazen burglars POLICE are hunting the men behind several brazen burglaries in Dandenong South. Investigators believe three or four men cut a large hole in cyclone fencing to enter a factory on Gaine Road about 1.45am on Saturday 25 January. The group rifled through several cars, stealing tools, rolls of copper wire and scrap metal before leaving about 4am in a white van parked in an adjacent car park. The burglars struck the same business again about 12.30am the next evening, again rifling through cars before hooking up a trailer and woodchipper to a Nissan Patrol fourwheel drive and stealing all three items. Investigators believe the same group is responsible for a similar burglary at a factory on nearby Apoinga Street between 24 and 27 January. They stole a Honda Prelude and trailer.

Excavator torched ARSONISTS have caused $50,000 damage to an excavator in Dandenong South. They set the vehicle alight at the rear of a bin hire premises on Ordish Road about 5pm on 7 February. Dandenong Fire Brigade attended and extinguished the fire. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au with information.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Tow firm hooks up By CASEY NEILL AUSTRALIA’S largest manufacturer of towing systems started in Dandenong 65 years ago when a bloke couldn’t find the towbar he wanted. Eric Hayman decided to design his own and started selling them as Hayman Reese. The company is today called TriMas Corporation, is based in Keysborough and sells more than $200 million worth of products annually. Managing director Carl Bizon said towing equipment remained the company’s biggest product line but it had also diversified into roof racks, side steps and working with caravan manufacturers on trailer components. It adopted the name of its parent company TriMas about 15 years ago to reflect this diversification. “They’re a large, multi-national parent corporation based in the US but they, basically, leave us to run our own business,” Mr Bizon said. “People tow for recreation. They tow for work. “We’re the specialist at connecting whatever kind of car it is to whatever it is people want to tow. “The typical Australian tradie will have a ute or a four-wheel drive with a tow bar. “On Monday he’s towing his building equipment to the job site and on Saturday he picks up his fishing boat.” From Pacific Drive, Mr Bizon manages 1000 employees in nine other companies around the world from New Zealand to Thailand, South Africa to Germany, Finland and the UK. “In the seven years that I’ve been here we’ve tripled the size of the company. It’s been a pretty good ride,” he said. “But I can only do it because we’ve got some really good staff.”

Mr Bizon has his sights on further international growth but will continue to expand employment in Australia. “We provide jobs for graduates coming out of university - I’ve got 30 engineers here,” he said. “We’ve got something like 45 different nationalities in the business so we embrace everything that is multicultural Dandenong. “There’s a good, talented labour pool in the south east.” TriMas had sites in Dandenong and Lyndhurst before consolidating in Keysborough three years ago. “I could choose where I put it. I looked all over Melbourne and I stayed right here,” Mr Bizon said. “It’s a good spot to be. “We try to spend our money locally wherever we can just to give other people in the area a bit of a leg-up to make sure that we all continue to prosper in the south east.” Mr Bizon also supports the region through business mentoring with South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) and South East Business Networks (SEBN). “Australian people expect a certain quality of life. They’re never going to work for the same wages that you can get in Asia,” he said. “If you’ve got to compete against

cant had owned the store for a long time in an area which had a growing patronage. Cr Peter Brown said it was a false assumption to link the size of the store to the amount of anti-social drinking. Cr Jim Memeti said the shop’s expansion was a “good story”, allowing the operator to move alcohol away from the entrance. “We’re making it a lot easier for

BUSINESSWOMEN can grab a bite and get inspired at an International Women’s Day event in Springvale. South East Business Networks (SEBN) will hold its first Showcasing Women in Business breakfast for the year on Friday 6 March at Highways. In partnership with the City of Greater Dandenong Healthy Workplaces team, it will present comedian and writer Nelly Thomas as the morning’s key speaker. Nelly fell into comedy in 2002 after working in the welfare and education sectors. A talent agent spotted her on a women’s forum and she was performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland six months later. Email SEBN@cgd.vic.gov.au for more.

It’s a good, growing business.

“It’s a sense of pride for all our staff that they work for a good company and I get a personal sense of pride out of that - that people feel good about being here. “We sell towbars in Finland. We sell towbars into Russia. We sell stuff in the Middle East. “And it’s all from a little company based in Dandenong. It’s really quite bizarre.” TriMas is part of the Committee for Dandenong’s Great Southern Manufacturing - Making it Great ... in Dandenong project. Visit www. makingitgreat.com.au to find out more.

Bottle shop given go-ahead for expansion A MENZIES Avenue bottle shop will expand into a neighbouring store despite concerns about significant public drinking problems in the area. Greater Dandenong councillors last Monday approved the proposal at 52-54 Menzies Avenue, which didn’t alter the shop’s hours from 9am-11pm or its ‘red line area’ for supplying alcohol. Councillor Angela Long, in favour of the initiative, said the appli-

families to enter the store (without being confronted by alcohol).” Cr Matthew Kirwan, who opposed the move, said the 100 square-metre expansion of the shop would allow it to “dramatically increase” the amount of alcohol sold in the shop. “The current groceries can be moved to the new shop and the old shop area filled with alcohol.” He said the approval would dam-

age the council’s public safety project in the adjacent Menzies Reserve. “What we have done so far in Menzies Avenue, like the new basketball court, has brought children back in great numbers to this reserve. “Do we want to cause detriment to this major investment by council... by this application going ahead?” - CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

Connecting people and communities

One site vision is becoming reality So Mr Paul closed Maralinga before the school resumed this year in an attempt to force the State Government to sell the site and use the proceeds to finish the redevelopment. Mr Paul said the welcome evening was extremely successful and included a jumping castle, sports games, a sausage sizzle and more. “Past, present and future families gathered within the school grounds to enjoy an afternoon of fun, relaxation and a picnic dinner,” he said.

“The atmosphere was high-spirited.” Guest singer Irene Bennetts performed songs from the 1960s through to today and Woolworths Keysborough donated summer fruit. “With the support and resilience of the whole school community, we have been able to continue our journey in becoming a school for our community that moves towards a 21st century learning environment,” Mr Paul said. - CASEY NEILL

Fulin, Mattson, Benjamin, Miss Field and Mahalia tuck into fresh fruit as they celebrate their united school.

SPORT

Wolves out in the cold By JARROD POTTER INDEBTED soccer club Dandenong Wolves may have to find a new league to play in this season after Football Federation Victoria (FFV) revoked its affilation. FFV issued a Friday deadline on a sizeable amount of money owed by the Dandenong Wolves FC, as the Noble Park-based club owes the Victorian soccer body over $11,000 - accrued since 2012 as debts piled up over missed payments for fines - and has subsequently been ejected from State League 4 South. FFV removed all affected fixtures from its website on Tuesday and sent a letter to the clubs in State Leagues 4 and 5 about changes to the league composition after announcing the Wolves were withdrawn from the league. “A month ago they said pay in full or we’re going to drop points off you (Wolves) for the season and then I think it was last week, one of our guys got in contact with them and they said we have to pay in full or we’re going to suspend you,” Dandenong Wolves president Sinan Akkurt said. “We were after a payment plan and basically they didn’t accept the payment plan and this week basically I found out off another team. “All our players and other teams were informed we were out before any

of the guys in the committee. “It was an unexpected shock to all of us - at least I thought they’d call us down for a meeting, but we’re still in negotiations with them as we speak.” Akkurt said in his two years at the helm of the club the debt owed to FFV had reduced from $17,000 to $11,000 and - given a chance to work out another payment plan - the Wolves would abide by FFV’s terms. “We’re not a club that are running away from our fines, we are prepared to go on a payment plan and when I first rocked up to the club there was a $17,000 debt,” Akkurt said. “In the last two years if it’s gone down to nine-10-11 whatever it is, obviously there is some progress there we put our head on the chopping block and say we will pay you our debt. “Either kick us out - and you get nothing - or give us a payment plan and we’ll pay our debt.” For a small club - only five years old - to raise that much money in such a short time though was always going to be extremely difficult Akkurt said. He also thinks on top of the looming deadline for payment, the additional penalty of dropping the club down a division, even if it pays in full, is unfair and has discouraged some in the club from wanting to pay off the debt at all. “For a local club with hardly any

income in the off-season... they’re almost asking the impossible - they’ve put a gun to our head and said either pay or you’re out,” Akkurt said. With the looming threat of suspension over the Wolves’ heads, Akkurt said he doesn’t know if players will stay with the club following suspension even if they move to alternate soccer competitions - Bayside Football Association or VicSoccer - which could mean the end of the club as a whole. The uncertainty of the Wolves’ future has also affected the club’s junior girls’ and boys’ sides, who could be

without a club nearing the end of the pre-season. In a statement sent to the Journal on Thursday, Football Federation Victoria said the matter had reached a critical point and the organisation had no choice but to withdraw the Wolves from the league. “FFV is extremely disappointed that the matter with Dandenong

Wolves has reached the point it has,” the statement said. “The club has owed money to FFV for a number of years now and despite numerous efforts to arrange payment including extended deadlines and payment plans, over $11,000 remains outstanding. “As hard as it is to remove a club from our competitions, it eventually gets to a point where we have no choice. “We have written to each player from the club informing them of the decision and offering our help to find another club in the area.”

By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG versus... Dandenong? The first match in an important preseason was held last Sunday morning as the Dandenong Stingrays took to Frankston Park for an intra-club match. The TAC Cup team - on the hunt for a maiden TAC Cup premiership after falling over at the preliminary final stage in 2014 - is on the lookout for the next generation of Stingrays’ talent and fielded the intra-club match with first year and newly arrived players to test their mettle in a match situation. The elder heads got to take the morning off... at least in the match

itself. The likes of returning 19-yearolds and top agers - Daniel Capiron, Gach Nyuon, Jordan Freeman, Reece Piper, Thomas Jok and Tom Glen amongst others - were left to slug it out for a hard training session then down to the beach to cool off. The real intra-club battle wasn’t for scoreboard supremacy, but to make an impact and leave a lasting impression on the coaches as cuts start soon to whittle down the final squad. “It’s pretty tough, the first intraclub, but we thought it was a pretty good standard,” Dandenong coach Craig Black said.

“We were pretty happy with that and obviously with a lot of the senior players rested, all the kids we haven’t seen in game situations yet, gave them a bit more of an opportunity.” In a literal sense, 205cm basketball convert Jayden Bubb, 18, from Berwick, stood head and shoulders above his direct opponents. He proved a handful up forward and in the ruck as he slotted goals and led brilliantly from the square. Devoted to football over basketball for the first time in a few years - after earning a ticket to the prestigious Basketball Without Borders Asia Camp

last year - Bubb made the right impression on Black, who believes the towering talent’s enormous tank and good ground level skills should see him do well in his inaugural TAC Cup season. “The idea was just to play him for a half - play him forward just because he hasn’t played footy for a long time,” Black said. “Give him that game-sense and we said ‘mate don’t lead’ and the first three times he led and marked the footy. “Kicked a couple of goals and went to the ruck for five minutes here and tap work, it’s definitely very exciting to coach someone like that.”

Also standing out in the crowd was Cory Machaya - the Narre Warren livewire with a bag of tricks up forward. “First time I’ve seen him play in a game situation but he was very exciting, especially in the first half when we played him close to goal... and he took the game on and was very unselfish in the forward line, so that was a really good sign,” Black said. Dandenong’s second phase of its pre-season checklist was a practice match held against Sandringham Dragons at Trevor Barker Beach Reserve on Sunday.

SPORT WNBL - Round 17

Struck by Lightning By JARROD POTTER IT’S all about this weekend for Dandenong as the Rangers look to wipe away some up-and-down form in their Saturday afternoon WNBL semi-final against Sydney Uni. Heading interstate on Friday night, Dandenong faced off against a geared up Lightning which was able to overrun the Rangers 89-71 in Whyalla. With Adelaide’s immediate future under threat, the Lightning came out firing to send off this season on a high-note. Off in regional South Australia, Dandenong got out of the blocks strongly as the lead went back and forth before a bit of Penny Taylor magic earned a slender 21-19 lead for the visitors. The three-point game, which Dandenong has come to depend on, was all but absent as the Rangers shot 1/12 from long range. Adelaide was able to capitalise on Dandenong’s errant shooting to push away in the second half 46-23, stealing the win and pushing out of

last spot on the WNBL ladder. The heavy lifting fell to Cappie Pondexter (17 points, 9 rebounds), Alice Kunek (16 points, 6 rebounds) and Aimie Clydesdale (13 points) at the point. With a double-header across the weekend and finals looming, Taylor (5 points) was given an extended rest as she only played 22 minutes as did Annalise Pickrel (6 points) featuring in only 19 minutes herself. Dandenong’s last match of the home and away season was on Sunday evening after the Journal went to press, as the Rangers clashed with ladder leaders Townsville at the Dandenong Stadium. Check the Journal website for final scores. Dandenong will now face Sydney Uni in an elimination semi-final at Dandenong Stadium on Saturday afternoon from 3pm.

There’s still more up Emrys’ sleeve By JASON ADAMS THE ever improving Emrys announced himself as one of the stars of the future on Thursday at Sandown Park after a dominant come-frombehind win. Emrys was moderate to begin from box two, then gained a clean run around the first bend to settle third approaching the back straight. Emrys threatened danger approaching the final bend as he poured the pressure on early leader Dyna Nico. He then took control of the race to win by an increasing twoand-a-half lengths. Owner Boris Bertschik was delighted with Emrys’ performance, however is adamant we are yet to see the best of his young star. “Tiggerlong Amigo gave him a slight check early in the race, the way he got balanced

and accelerated was really impressive,” Bertschik said. “He improved significantly on last week’s win - last night he ran 29.29 and his trainer Mario Briganti is confident he still has a bit of improvement up his sleeve.” Despite having just the 21 career starts, Emrys is no stranger to Group class racing having mixed it with some of the sports heavyweights during the Group 1 Silver Chief series. “He ran fifth in the Silver Chief final, but there’s no shame in finishing behind Above All, Dyna Villa and Dyna Double One - they are seriously fast greyhounds,” he said. Having just recently turned two-years-old, Emrys has already earned $32,645 in prize money, and connections now have eyes on the $550,000 Group 1 Australian

Boris Bertschik celebrates another stellar run from his two-year-old phenomenon Emrys. 134607 Picture: SUPPLIED Cup at The Meadows. “We’ve already nominated him for the Australian Cup, it’s just a matter of him

gaining a spot in a heat or whether he needs to run in next week’s Preliminaries,” Bertschik said.

TAKING on the chair of South East Juniors (SEJ), the league announced this week the appointment of James Rouse. Mr Rouse will replace Roger Hampson as Chair, who after five years of service, has taken up a role with the South East Commission. “I am incredibly passionate about young people and ensuring they have high quality opportunities to be participating in sport.” Mr Rouse said. This passion emanates from a background in teaching, local government sport development and leisure management. Mr Rouse has a great understanding and knowledge of the local area, having worked for the City of Casey for the past 11 years in a variety of roles. “I am very well aware of the significant growth and demographic change that is occurring in this part of South East Melbourne,” Rouse said. “I see the SEJ as being in a very strong position to move forward and continue to grow junior football in the area… I want to see the league continue with our already documented strategic plans. “Our continued focus will be to work with and support clubs to further develop and enhance their capacity, working through the AFL Club Accreditation Program.” Mr Rouse has previously served on the SEJ board for five years, having been approached by AFL Victoria in 2009 to participate in the working group that

was established to reinvigorate and strengthen the then named DDJFL into the thriving league we have today. Getting the opportunity to work alongside some former board members and overseeing a new group of youth development motivates Mr Rouse greatly and reflects on this time with the league fondly. “The experience of working on the board was an interesting challenge and I am highly motivated about the prospect of being involved again, this time as Chairman,” Rouse said. “The board has a great balance of skills and experience, whilst the staff is also highly qualified. “Collectively our focus is to ensure that more and more boys and girls are playing football through the SEJ. The SEJ would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Hampson for his service to the league. “Roger has overseen significant change at the league including the adoption of a new governance and administration structure and the adoption of a new league name and brand,” SEJ General Manager Shaun Connell said. “The league is indebted to his dedication and visionary approach which has seen the SEJ the envy of leagues across the state and this region. “It has been a pleasure to work with Roger and I see him as real mentor to myself and look forward to keeping in touch.”

Don’t forget the name… Niculici By JARROD POTTER

St Mary’s Eddie Niculici etched his name into the DDCA record-books with a stellar 10-wicket haul on Saturday. 134608 Picture: JARROD POTTER Just before the tea break Niculici finished the feat and etched his name into club and DDCA record books. He can’t really remember the magic moment he took the last wicket - either bowled or caught behind - but he clearly can remember the sigh of relief as his monster spell and gargantuan achievement was completed. “To be honest I can’t even remember if it was bowled or caught behind - there were too many to keep track of,” Niculici said. “By the end of it I was pretty tired - it was the first ball of the 21st over and it was a great relief that it was finally over as it was dragging on.

“Just relief and excitement and a bit of not believing it could have happened - it can’t get better than that.” Who knows, with the potential of an outright victory still on the cards, he might add to his 10-wicket haul and knock his bowling average even lower than his current 12.8 per wicket. Niculici’s St Mary’s team is top of the ladder and unbeaten in DDCA C Grade and he wanted to thank John ‘Lovey’ Sacco and Michael Storti his mid-on and mid-off - for pumping up between deliveries and overs and especially his mum and step-dad for their support throughout his time in junior and senior cricket.

DDCA bask in glory… and heat By JARROD POTTER INTERLEAGUE success greeted the Dandenong District Cricket Association, as the DDCA lads held on to a nail-biting two-run win against the South East Cricket Association (SECA) in a 40-over match on Sunday, 8 February. Sent in by the SECA, the DDCA rallied around Mordialloc’s Damith Mapa Ralalage (41) and captain Steve Spoljaric (36) to start the innings off on the right track. With some slogging from Spoljaric’s Cranbourne team mate Te Ahu Davis (25) at the death, the DDCA set 6/216 for SECA to hunt down at Mordialloc’s Ben Kavanagh Reserve. With the sun baking the pitch rock solid, the runs were there for the taking as the SECA mounted a remarkable comeback. With 59 needed off the final five overs after Springvale South’s Ruwantha Kellepotha (4/32 off 8 overs) and Berwick’s Dushan Wickramarathna (2/38 off 8 overs) the SECA found its second wind and with it some lusty hitting. Switching from a one-day to Twenty20 mindset, the SECA boys went along steadily and needed 28 off two overs, then 18 off the last over. SECA punished 15 off the over and only a good save on the boundary, saving two, prevented a tie. The DDCA would hold on to restrict SECA to 6/214 from their 40 overs to take the match and the bragging rights and with any luck, hope to maintain their winning ways next year if the interleague clash returns.

ELEMENTAL problems wreaked havoc across the Dandenong District Cricket Association (DDCA), with only two Turf 1 matches getting out onto the park.

CRANBOURNE v SPRINGVALE SOUTH FIRST versus second, bragging rights and top spot on the line. There aren’t many higher stakes than that in local cricket and Springvale South (1/42) ensured advantage was in its favour against ladder-leading Cranbourne (146). The early moisture played into the Bloods’ hands as Yoshan Kumara (4/27) cleaned up the top order. Jordan Cleland (3) - bowled Kumara. Brayden Roscoe (2) - bowled Kumara. Jake Harrington (2) - bowled Kumara. And just to cap it off... Ben Maroney (11) - LBW... Kumara. The Sri Lankan spearhead left the Eagles wounded at 4/39, but not done as Steve Spoljaric (52) remained at the crease. Rebuilding the shattered remains of the Cranbourne innings, Spoljaric and the middle order gave the side something to defend. Spoljaric alongside Te Ahu Davis (39) knocked in a 76-run partnership before the duo were ripped from the crease virtually backto-back by Ruwantha Kellepotha (1/42) and Craig Slocombe (4/20) respectively.

The Springvale South captain feasted on the lower order as he ran through the tail without much wagging to get in his way. Cam Dinger (14) put up a gutsy knock to see out 41 balls before he was run out by the two Cranbourne’s Saturday nightmare generators - Kumara and Slocombe. Davis (1/0) kept things tidy from his four overs in response and withdrew Nathan King (13) from the crease as he smashed his pegs. Steve Masterson (15 not out) and Ryan Quirk (10 not out) kept proceedings as risk-free as possible en route to 1/42 by stumps.

COOMOORA v BERWICK RUNS on the board are always worth their weight in gold, especially for Coomoora (193) as the Kangaroos remain on the lookout for their first Turf 1 triumph this season. While the order did collapse spectacularly in parts - initiated by a superb five-wicket haul from Darren de Souza (5/48) Coomoora managed to push a defining partnership and set up a decent shot at victory. Slumping to 3/49, the impetus was taken up by Saliya Saman (75) and Lance Baptist (58) as the duo smashed the Bears to all points on Coomoora Reserve. The duo took the score to 149 - as Baptist notched his best score of the season - before the

all-rounder succumbed to de Souza, the first of his victims as the Berwick bowler had a field day en route to his maiden fivefor. It left Saman to play a solo hand - a job he’s become used to doing this season on occasion with the ball, but not so much the blade. Haphazard and sporadic support didn’t give Saman much to lean on at the other end as de Souza and Jarrod Goodes (3/52) stormed through the lower order resistance. From 3/149 before Baptist’s demise, the Kangaroos fell away to concede 5/30. Saman’s gutsy knock - highlighted by raising the bat on his second half-century in three Turf 1 matches - was derailed by Berwick’s beguiler de Souza for his fourth scalp. Set 193 on the first innings, Berwick (0/23) held out against Saman (0/6) and Joel Robertson (0/4) in the final eight overs of the day to leave 170 to hunt down this weekend. North Dandenong v Heinz, Parkfield v Lyndale, Dandenong West v Buckley Ridges and Hallam Kalora Park v Mordialloc were unable to get under way yesterday. Not to despair about a lack of cricket this weekend though, the DDCA held its rescheduled Round 7 one-dayers on Sunday afternoon. For those final results go to the Journal website.

FROM the first ball on Saturday, St Mary’s cricketer Eddie Niculici knew he was set for a big day. St Mary’s medium-fast pacer Niculici, 20, from Dandenong, was unstoppable against Dingley in a DDCA C-Grade match over the weekend, as he claimed all 10 wickets is an achievement St Mary’s Cricket Club’s will never forget. Niculici was on fire as he took a wicket with the first ball of the match en route to the rarest of all cricket feats taking 10/35 off 20.1 overs bowling unchanged at Carroll Reserve - and was so destructive it left Dingley all out for only 68. After a dogged last-wicket Dingley partnership, Niculici earned the magic 10th scalp and was mobbed by St Mary’s fans and players alike as he added his name into the 10-wicket club. “Not sure how to feel… I don’t think it hit me until we came off the ground and everyone was congratulating me,” Niculici said. “I thought probably my favourite was the first wicket as it was the very first ball of the day - first ball, caught in slips, it was a great catch and it got us all pumped up.” St Mary’s 1994/95 Turf 1 premiership side were on hand for Niculici’s achievement as their reunion was also celebrated on Saturday and the young quick thought it was fantastic to have their support as the wickets started piling up to try and ease his worsening nerves. “I think when I started hitting seven, that was when the nerves started pumping definitely and it just kept ticking and ticking,” Niculici said. “The last wicket though, they held in there for quite a while so that was getting frustrating.”

HYUNDAI gave its family-sized Santa Fe SUV an upgrade late in 2014 just in time to chalk up a third straight win in its category of the Australia’s Best Car awards. Unfortunately for Hyundai, Santa Fe sales for 2014 didn’t match the opinion of the judges with it sitting in sixth place in sales in its category. Styling changes for the latest Santa Fe are barely noticeable and sensibly so because the Hyundai design theme is proving popular. Only the most observant will notice a darker shade to the chrome grille, new daytime running lights and cornering lights. The focal point of the Santa Fe interior is the large complex curved binnacle. Controls are large and wellplaced with a big central screen on the higher grade models and inputs available through all the usual means, and a good satellite navigation system with Suna traffic information. As before, all 2015 Santa Fe variants come with seven seats meaning that it can combine the practical functions of a people mover with the looks and versatility of an SUV. Interior space is sensibly arranged with plenty of head and legroom in the front and centre seats. Not unexpectedly the third row

Model range

The 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe looks much the same but gets extra equipment. seats are best kept for children. In an interesting move, the outboard rear seats can also be heated, though they cannot be cooled. The third row of seats fold flat to provide plenty of storage space when in five-seat mode. Indeed even with all seven seats in place there’s still an impressive 506 litres available. With both rows of rear seats folded (the centre row not quite flat) Santa Fe can be used as a minivan with capacity up to 1615 litres. Two four-cylinder engines are

available, 2.2-litre turbo-diesel and 2.4-litre petrol. The latter replaced the previous 3.5-litre V6 petrol with the arrival of the third generation Santa Fe in 2012 and saw a significant drop in power (204kW to 141kW) and torque (335Nm to 242Nm). That leaves the diesel as the obvious choice for those seeking extra grunt with a big 436Nm of torque available between 1800 and 2500 rpm. Maximum power is 145kW at 3000 revs. Santa Fe comes in three model

Active 2.4-litre petrol seven-seat five-door wagon: $38,490 (manual), $40,990 (automatic). Active 2.2-litre diesel seven-seat five-door wagon: $41,490 (manual), $43,990 (automatic). Elite 2.2-litre diesel sevenseat five-door wagon: $48,490 (automatic). Highlander 2.2-litre diesel seven-seat fivedoor wagon: $53,240 (automatic).

variants, Active, Elite and Highlander. The petrol engine and six-speed manual transmission are only available with the entry-level Active. Santa Fe has that solid, quality feel to its body that we expect from prestige vehicles and will prove a real plus for those intending to work their Santa Fe hard and keep it for a long time. The combination of attractive looks, functional design and flexible interior space seem sure to appeal to the typical suburban family buyer.
