■ Salvation Army says new base will make it easier to get services...

Salvos’ heart HQ By CASEY NEILL THE Salvos will build a new $12 million heart in the centre of Dandenong. The project will relocate the Salvation Army eastern regional headquarters from Mitcham, include a new church and bring about 45 jobs to the area. State Planning Minister Richard Wynn announced the Revitalising Central Dandenong deal between Places Victoria and the Salvation Army in Dandenong on Friday. The land sale has been two and a half years in the making and construction is due to start early next year to wrap up within three years. The Salvos centre will fill the vacant block on the corner of Cadle Street and George Street, which becomes Walker Street. Dandenong Salvation Army corps officer Captain Stuart McGifford said the new site was close to Dandenong railway station and Princes Highway and that services were currently scattered across four locations in Dandenong and Doveton. “We really believe that it’s going to be able to provide a better service for our clients,” he said. The Dandenong Corps is in James Street, Dandenong, the court chaplaincy program runs from the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court and Doveton Community Support Services and a thrift shop are in Frawley Road, Doveton. SalvoCare Eastern Support and Recovery Services, which offers drug and alcohol counselling, a positive lifestyle program and anger management courses, will relocate from Foster Street, Dandenong. “It’s really exciting to be in one place, to be able to provide good referrals, to be able to sup-

port each other and provide a synergy as we work together,” Captain McGifford said. “We also look forward to growing a church with heart, in the heart of our city.“ The Salvos will sell the existing Dandenong sites to fund the project. “The building will be so much more beautiful and so much better to operate in,” Captain McGifford said. “And it’s really exciting from an economic point of view, to bring something positive to that area.” Captain McGifford said the team at Doveton saw up to 400 clients each month. “We know that 57 per cent travel from the City of Greater Dandenong,” he said. “About 33 per cent are from Doveton. We’re still working out how we can best respond to them. “We believe it will have less of an impact than continuing to operate our service outside of Dandenong.” The $290 million Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative was announced in 2006 and is a partnership between Places Victoria, the City of Greater Dandenong and State Government agencies. About 40 per cent of land within the Revitalising Central Dandenong area has been developed, is under construction or is committed to being developed. This project means more than $100 million of construction will be underway in Dandenong within the next 12 months. *Photo has been digitally altered

Laser treatment that is safe, effective and affordable! DANDENONG DERMATOLOGY CENTRE, WITH THEIR EXTENSIVE RANGE OF MEDICAL GRADE LASERS, OFFER LASER TREATMENT FOR MANY SKIN CONDITIONS AND MOST SKIN TYPES. The versatile Dual Yellow Copper Bromide laser is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of blemishes.

Who can be treated? Almost all skin types can be successfully treated with Dual Yellow laser for a wide range of blemishes, including vascular (red veins) and other lesions

Can all areas of the body be treated? Most areas including face, neck, chest, back, hands, arms and legs

How many treatments do I need? Most vascular (red veins) and pigmented (dark spots) need approximately 3-4 treatments

Does the treatment hurt? No anaesthetic is necessary and is well tolerated by most patients, with the sensation being described as a warm pinprick on the skin

Is the treatment safe? The Dual Yellow laser is operated by our experienced nurse/laser practitioner and is completely safe, targeting only the blemish

How soon will I see results? Mostly the results are immediate with the vascular lesions but some other lesions may take a week or so to improve

What conditions can be treated? Age spots on hands: Treatment to the backs of hands is very effective and removes unsightly sun damage or “age” spots. Freckles: Most common pigmented lesions are “freckles” caused by too much sun exposure. Sun damage: The yellow light helps generate new collagen, the essential protein for giving skin elasticity, so your skin will appear refreshed and its texture improved Skin tags: Skin tags and other benign raised lesions can be smoothed and flattened without damage to the surrounding skin Pigmentation/Melasma: This darkened skin discolouration typically appears on the sun exposed areas such as cheeks, forehead and nose. Treatment is effective and lighten the discolouration of the skin

Vascular lesions/Blood vessels: Broken capillaries or vascular lesions occur when the small capillaries become dilated; the laser shrinks the capillaries, providing instant cosmetic improvement.

WHAT’S NEW: The Ellipse is the latest generation IPL (intense pulse light). We can treat a variety of conditions safely: Rosacea: A common skin condition that causes red pimples, flushing and broken capillaries (telangiectasia) affecting mainly the cheeks and nose of adults. This irritating condition, often causing uncomfortable face flushing and can be safely treated with almost no down time and requiring approx 1-4 treatments at one month apart. The Ellipse laser can treat several skin types. Sun damage: Skin aging is accelerated by sun exposure. For the removal of age spots, uneven pigmentation and diffuse redness, the Ellipse laser is the latest technology available. Ellipse treatment of sun damaged skin help you keep a younger and fresher look with a full-face treatment taking less than 20 minutes. Again, most skin types can be treated. Acne: A common skin disease of teenagers, often affecting the face, neck, chest, shoulders and back, associated with overproduction of sebum (oily substance). Ellipse treatment is effective by slowing down the production of the sebum, with a typical course of therapy being four treatments at three weeks apart. Vascular lesions: These lesions can include port wine stains, broken capillaries, diffuse redness, haemangiomas and cherry angiomas. They can occur in many sizes and shapes and can be found all over the body. Most skin types are easily treated with the Ellipse being set at the correct energy output for your individual complexion.

All treatments are tailored to the individual and are safe, effective and affordable! Dandenong Dermatology Centre offers your first assessment consultation for free! To arrange an appointment just call 9791 3455.

Drunks may be let off $130,000 fines By CASEY NEILL DANDENONG drunks could receive a reprieve from huge bills for unpaid fines - some more than $130,000. Greater Dandenong Police Service Area Inspector Bruce Kitchen last Tuesday announced the Southern Metropolitan Region Alcohol Diversion Program. Alcohol-dependent repeat offenders who’ve racked up fines for minor public order offences will be offered access to treatment to break the cycle. “It is a voluntary program for them. It’s another alternative other than paying the fine, doing the community work or getting locked up,” Insp Kitchen said. “They’ll come back to the court at different stages to see how they’re progressing. “The idea is to eventually wipe all of those fines out for them, but the main aim is to put them back out into the community... and get their lives back on track.” Insp Kitchen started plans for the project 12 months ago following

complaints from Dandenong residents and shop keepers about men drinking in groups in public spaces. “They were arrested for drunk and lodged in our police cells for four hours or thereabouts... and fined up to $734,” he said. “This cohort of people haven’t been able to pay those fines. “We’ve got one particular person who’s got Sheriff’s fines up to $134,000. “All of those have been accumulated from public order, drunkenness type behaviour. “We decided that existing practices weren’t working.” The 12-month project will run across the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court catchment area, which includes Greater Dandenong and parts of Casey and Cardinia. “We’ll obviously assess it and audit it and see how it goes but I see it being a long-term program,” Insp Kitchen said. The Department of Justice’s Loy Kop said 15 recidivist drunks in the Dandenong area owed $500,000 for 1800 warrants.

“They quite often use public transport where they incur further fines for their behaviour,” he said. “Generally they don’t use motor vehicles, thank goodness, so they’re not intercepted by joint operations with the police or when we do number plate scanning.” Mr Kop said they used multiple identities. “When they’re located by the sheriff they have very limited or no capacity to deal with their outstanding fines,” he said. “They’re unable to pay, they’re unable to go onto payment plans, they’re unable to do community work, or they don’t have any assets that can be seized and sold.” He said they were arrested, bailed to reappear in court, then often didn’t show up for the next date. “The Sheriff has to allocate more resources to locate them again as they are often transient,” he said. Mr Kop said there were provisions for people who were unable to control their actions due to serious alcohol addiction, but it took up to 18 months for their cases to reach a court room.

“During that time they continue to offend, they continue to be a risk to public safety, and they further damage their health,” he said. Karenza Louis-Smith from support agency ACSO said alcohol was the number one drug of concern. “It’s higher than cannabis, it’s higher than ice, it’s higher than heroin,” she said. Ms Louis-Smith said people with alcohol dependence often didn’t put their hand up to access voluntary treatment and were stuck ‘outside the system’. “If we can connect people into drug and alcohol treatment services... these people will change their lives and our community will be safer,” she said. Department of Human Services representative Sandy Austin said an alcohol problem was usually a symptom of much bigger problems. She said addicts needed help to make family and cultural connections, find housing, address health issues, and find work or study. “The project is responding to those diverse needs,” she said.

POLICE nabbed four drink drivers in 10 minutes at a Noble Park booze bus, including one who was more than five times over the legal blood alcohol limit. Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol officers set up a random breath testing site on Corrigan and Kelvinside roads as part of Operation Nelson about 6pm on Sunday 1 March. They issued three drivers with penalty notices for exceeding a .05 per cent blood alcohol concentration. A 28-year-old Noble Park North man will be summonsed to appear in court after providing a .257 per cent sample while driving on a learner’s permit. Southern Metro Commander Doug Fryer said a series of recent high-range drink driving detections in the region concerned police. “It can be a relentless task for police and we need the support from all sections of the community to influence change.” Commander Fryer urged anyone who saw unsafe behaviour to speak up.

Teens charged after raids POLICE have charged a second teen over a series of ram raids on milk bars in Dandenong and the surrounding area last month. They executed a search warrant and arrested a 17-year-old Dandenong boy last Tuesday 3 March. He has been charged with five counts of burglary, five counts of criminal damage, two counts of theft of a motor vehicle and three counts of theft. He faced Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that afternoon and was bailed to reappear on 17 April. An 18-year-old Eumemmerring man will return to court on 18 March to answer 14 charges over the crime spree. Police allege they used a stolen car to smash into five businesses in two hours on 5 February, in Noble Park North, Keysborough, Dandenong, Doveton and Hallam. They said the teens stole cash registers and cash and dumped the car involved at a park in Frawley Road, Eumemmerring.

A THIEF armed with a screwdriver made off with nothing but a Myki card after threatening an Endeavour Hills man. The 50-year-old victim was walking along Langhorne Street, Dandenong, about 3am on 28 February when a man approached. The attacker brandished the screwdriver and demanded the victim’s wallet. The victim instead handed over his myki card. Police arrested and released a 25-year-old Wyndham Vale man over the incident.

Members of the group told the Journal last year that they drank there because they enjoyed social conviviality but couldn’t afford to drink in a pub. They also had misgivings about their health. One was a 45-year-old recovering heroin addict who couldn’t throw his alcoholism despite going

to rehab twice. Part of the reason was the proliferation of liquor outlets in Dandenong. “There’s (liquor) outlets on every corner,“ he said. “(At one of the outlets) I can get a two-litre bottle of apple whiskey for $3.” - Cam Lucadou-Wells

TO PUT it politely, it could be said that a rogue group of drinkers at Palm Plaza were taking the pee. The drinking buddies re-emerged late last month after a several week hiatus, reportedly urinating on doorsteps and in the mall in full view of shoppers and workers. After being confronted by a trader, one of the offenders said: “What do you think I’m doing? I’m taking a p... !” The brazen piddling has been observed since the closure of the plaza’s public toilets that was part of a suite of recent measures by Greater Dandenong Council to deter a persistent mob of public drinkers. The council also removed a bench and installed No Drinking Alcohol in Public Places signs. A proprietor, who said many of his reports to police seem to have gone unheeded, said more frequent hardline police patrols were needed. “The best results come when police rummage through (the drinkers’) backpacks and make them empty their liquor,” the trader said. “That wipes the smile off their faces.” Last year there were reports of regular daytime public drunkenness in Palm Plaza including brawls using bottles, indecent exposure and vomiting. The group had been lingering most days outside Palm Plaza Meeting Room - home to the now-closed public toilet and a venue for kids’

Following the creek through the centuries JACK JOHNSON 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. AS KIDS in the early 1930s my sibilings and I began our expeditions around the little market town of Dandenong, which we fondly recall as ‘our place’. On one of our early treks from home we discovered the Eumemmerring Creek. We had been exploring the remains of the wattle-and-daub sheds and huts of the old tannery on the hillside of Kidds Road on the Gordon Park property, just above where Betula Street is today. This tannery was one of Dandenong’s earliest industries. It was started in 1865 by a Mr Henderson who, at the same time, had a saddle and harness and whip making

business in Lonsdale Street opposite the post office. The early house of the Gordon Park property was on the opposite side of the creek at the end of Wedge Street in what is now Caroline Street. It sat on a bend in the old creek alongside what today is the entrance and driveway of St John’s College. We continued up the fairly heavily

timbered hill to the unmade section of Power Road and the many gravel pits that existed in this area at the time. If we walked up and over the hill, the far end of the paddock was a gumsucker covered swampy area near the narrow road that would become the Princes Highway. The paddock itself would eventually become Power Road, Doveton, the link between the Princes Highway and Heatherton Road. When we first came to this spot it must have been summer because the creek had ceased to flow and it had ponded in the lower marshy areas. We found two deep waterholes a short distance apart. They were still reasonably full of

crystal clear water. Below the granitelike banks of the creek we stood beside the holes and watched schools of minnows come up from the depths to the sunlight. We called these fish minnows, but they could have been the type of native fish that have recently been re-discovered in creeks and lagoons around Hallam. As little kids, on our first visit to this spot, we wondered how the fish came to be in the holes. When we returned to the same spot after the dry season the little stream was running again. The sparkling water flowed over the high granite-like bank into the first hole; then out of the first hole and

along a small section of the creek into the second hole. From there is gently overflowed into a wider marsh-like area. It was easy to see the water flowing across the Princes Highway but in the deeper areas the current was imperceptible. We then understood how the minnows came to be trapped in these holes. As an adult I discovered that after we came down that hill through the marshy area and arrived at the cleared land below we were in the exact spot where in 1834 Alfred Langhorne had built the first settler’s hut in the Dandenong area. Here we were, a few small kids, discovering this same exciting spot a century later.

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 11 March 1915 Patriotic News The War Dandenong Red Cross Fund A GRAND patriotic, open air entertainment in aid of above, was held at Mr F.W. Staughton’s estate last Sunday evening. The spacious grounds, admirably suited for the purpose, were brilliantly illuminated by electricity kindly installed free of cost, by J Bartram and Son, Prop Ltd of Melbourne. Ample seating accommodation was provided on the lawns for an audience numbering over two hundred persons, and a liberal display of bunting, including patriotic flags, produced a very charming effect. The chair was occupied by Mr Jeffrey Macpherson and proceedings were opened by the singing of the National Anthem “God Save the King". A lengthy programme was contributed by lead-

ing Melbourne artists, assisted by local talent. During the interval Dr Langley, as president of the local Red Cross League proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the host and hostess, also to the performers and all those who assisted in making the entrainment such a brilliant success. Proceeding terminated at about 11pm. Pending returns of outstanding tickets the financial result is expected of nearly £15.

50 years ago 10 March 1965 Racehorse shot valued at £400 DANDENONG detectives are investigating the shooting of a young racehorse valued at £400 which was found dead with a bullet in the head in a paddock on the farm at Bass last Sunday. The colt, which was owned by Mr Thomas Har-

Porterhouse Steak

rison a farmer of Bass and a partner, was 18 months old. It was not yet registered or given a racing name. Snr Det R.J. Phillips of Dandenong CIB went to Bass on Tuesday morning. It is difficult to determine whether the colt was shot with a rifle deliberately or accidentally. It is believed that it was struck by the bullet, sometime after Saturday night.

20 years ago 13 March 1995 Clean Up Success VOLUNTEERS in Dandenong collected eight tonnes of rubbish for clean up Australia Day. City of Greater Dandenong’s manager of open space said the efforts of those in the clean up were “fantastic" and many groups were glad to see less rubbish about than in other years. The eight tonnes of rubbish does not include

two tonnes of asbestos roofing in the Frank Holohan reserve at Police Paddocks. Altogether 20 sites including railway reserves and parks were cleaned up.

King’s reign By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN who had declared himself as “the f***ing king” entered a Noble Park office and beat its manager with a pool cue, a court was told. Sebit Muon, 20, of Frankston, pleaded guilty to property damage, assault and resisting a PSO among a series of charges in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court last Monday. Police prosecutor First Constable Tess Davison told the court that Muon became aggressive with a PSO at Berwick railway station after refusing to touch on with a myki pass on 23 November. He walked away after telling the PSO: “You know who I am. I am the f***ing king.” The accused resisted attempts to restrain him, headbutting a myki machine and attempting to headbutt the PSO, the court was told. During the scuffle, Muon bit

the PSO’s hand, leaving tooth marks. When confined to the PSO’s quarters, Muon was instructed to take off his shoes. Muon kicked off a shoe striking a PSO in “the leg and groin area”, First Cons Davison said. In a separate incident on 24 February, Muon entered a Noble Park tutoring business, complaining about not receiving enough work. An “aggressive” Muon armed himself with a pool cue and struck the retreating manager to the head. The court was told he used another pool cue to smash the office door’s glass pane and destroy a computer monitor before twice punching his sister to the face. He later told police he broke the window because “it’s better than assaulting a person” but denied the assaults or breaking the monitor, First Cons Davison told the court. On 7 December, Muon was refused entry at Love Machine

night club, Prahran, and walked down the middle of Little Chapel Street. He kicked the bonnet and grille of a Mercedes Benz that had stopped to avoid him, as well as hitting its front passenger window. The quoted damage was $2490. The accused told police he didn’t continue striking the car because the driver was “an older man”, First Cons Davison said. Defence lawyer Adam Maloney said Muon’s “alcoholfuelled violence” had occurred over a short period of time. His arrest last month had been a “wake up call”. A refugee whose family fled wars in Sudan in 2004, Muon had no prior offences. Magistrate Lou Hill ordered that Muon perform 100 hours of voluntary work and undergo alcohol and drug treatment as part of a 12-month community corrections order.

He conceded Mehri’s response went “well past self-defence” though the two-passers-by emerged unscathed from the fights. Magistrate Lou Hill said Mehri and the others involved could have easily been more seriously hurt in the brawl. “You reacted to other people’s aggression. But when you react the way you do, you just make it worse for yourself and others.” Mehri was fined without conviction.

They and up to four others pursued the aggressors into Wilma Avenue for a second affray of swinging sticks and fists.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…

PASSERS-BY may have noticed a count-up clock on the big screen at the Dandenong Civic Centre. Seemingly modelled on the famous debt-truck, the clock is keeping tabs on pokies losses in Greater Dandenong this year. Only two months in and the total is already about $14 million. WILD weather on Saturday 28 February kept Greater Dandenong SES volunteers working for 26 hours straight. Unit controller Paul Daniel said the narrow storm front that rolled through whipped up 130 kilometre an hour winds. “So fast that our volunteers were actually ordered to stand down for a while until it had passed through,” he said. “It was too dangerous for them to be out there.” They responded to 65 calls for help, including trees down on EastLink and Stud Road and a roof ripped off premises in Heatherton Road, Dandenong North. “We worked through the night on Saturday night and we had everything knocked off by Sunday night,” he said.

A MAN came off second-best arguing the toss with a Dandenong magistrate last Monday over a $500 fine for unpaid EastLink tolls. “That’s a hell of a lot less than the original fines. They were $1500!” the magistrate responded. “Don’t argue with me. You’re free to go.” The man continued to mumble in disgruntlement as he left, so the magistrate called him back - he’d forgotten to add a $40 statutory charge payable to EastLink for each unpaid toll, totalling $240. “There’s nothing I can do about it,” the magistrate deadpanned. HERE’S a cautionary tale on the dangers of mixing ice and synthetic cannabis on a first date. A man’s internet-arranged meeting came to an abrupt halt after he reacted to the drugs and was hospitalised, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard last Monday. The 31-year-old blamed the cocktail for him breaking into a business yard in Warragul the following day, stealing an unlocked Holden Rodeo and crashing it through the yard’s gates. The man then drove to his date’s home where he broke in through a fly-screen door to retrieve some property. He told police he didn’t know what he was doing at the time. The case was adjourned with the man facing a $1500 insurance-excess bill for the damaged gate and vehicle, and a likely community corrections order. We wonder if there was a second date... DANDENONG Pavilion can now count a tiny plastic man among its fans. The forgottenlegoman Instagram account recently posted a photo of the yellow fellow enjoying a well-earned burger at the Princes Highway restaurant while working late.

A HORSE stolen from a Dandenong North paddock in January is still missing.

No standing Why did six Dandenong councillors ignore the explicit recommendation of the planning department to refuse an application to increase the capacity of a mosque in Cleeland Street because it would seriously breach planning rules and regulations on traffic, parking and amenity of the neighborhood? (Parking Prayers, Journal, 16 February). Councilors are elected to represent the ratepayers. They are duty bound to look after the best interests of the ratepayers. Yet six of them chose to ignore this recommendation and voted to approve the application to increase capacity. In doing so they demonstrated a lack of concern for the affected ratepayers.

The irony is they would have no power to vote on anything if it was not given to them by the ratepayers. Only the four councilors who voted in accordance with the recommendation showed respect for the rules and regulations and concern for the ratepayers who would be adversely affected by the significant increase in capacity. All ratepayers should be concerned at the precedent that has been set for future development and parking spaces in Greater Dandenong. This outrageous decision has compromised the council’s integrity. What is the point of having planning rules and regulations if you are just going to ignore them? Peter Hartin, Dandenong.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING Phillip Lamaro Re: Parking on a prayer WHY is my rates money going towards building parking for a mosque? If the venue is too small for its following then it needs to relocate. As half of the people that signed it live out of the area, moving shouldn’t be an issue. WHERE have our values and appreciations changed? We use to work hard, save hard and purchase our needs and protect them with love and care. We used to hand down to our family, our heirlooms for them to care for and use. Today I see whole house-loads of furniture being thrown out and placed on the nature strips, only to be weathered and crushed by the council trucks. How come people don’t need the furniture at their new address?

Why wouldn’t they need beds and mattresses, tables and chairs, lounge suites etc. I have heard it is cheaper to throw it all away and get the council to come and dispose of it, then get the charity groups to deliver alternative items “we have lovingly given and cared for” to these people, rather than them hiring a truck and getting people to help them move? These people who throw away perfectly good furniture obviously don’t deserve it in the first place and certainly don’t care about recycling or our environment. When residents request a council pick-up, they should be made to tick a box of all items that will need to be removed. These lists could then be emailed to the charity groups for them to pick up and re-sell and reuse. Nuke me, via email.

Church slams parking plans By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A NOBLE Park pastor, whose church was compelled to spend $70,000 on an off-street car park, has accused Greater Dandenong Council of double standards. David Owen, who leads Noble Park Christian Church, said councillors had committed a “gross abuse of its bylaws� by voting for Emir Sultan mosque to double its Friday congregation to 300 despite a 227 car parking shortfall last month. “This is what causes religious problems - this whole favouring of one religion. “If every place of worship does the same, the council can’t knock them back because it sets a precedent,� Mr Owen said. Prior to the council’s decision, the mosque’s swell of visitors had incensed nearby residents and business owners due to traffic and parking mayhem in Cleeland Street. The mosque’s administra-

tion has no plans to increase its 41-space car park but vowed a “zero-tolerance� for illegal parking by its congregation. Mr Owen also opposed a proposal for the council to build a car park off Dalgety Street, Dandenong South, for a nearby mosque and Russian orthodox church. Mr Owen said the leniency was in stark contrast to how the council dealt with his church when it built near homes and shops in Hosken Street, Noble Park, 10 years ago. He said despite a surplus of on-street parking for the church’s 30 Sunday worshipers, the church - which has capacity for 300 worshippers - had to build a 60-space car park at its own expense. “I’m not against flexibility but when I think about how rigid they were with us... “The only shop open on Sunday mornings is the bakery. We didn’t need the car park.� Last month Mr Owen wrote

to councillors on behalf of Dandenong Ministers’ Fellowship about the “ridiculous concession� given to Emir Sultan mosque. Cr Jim Memeti said the mosque, as well as the placesof-worship near Dalgety Street, also provided off-street parking but just not enough. “That would be the same for synagogues and churches that have been there for 100 years. “If someone passes away and there’s a big funeral, you would find there wouldn’t be enough parking.� The mosque’s most popular congregation on Fridays was being well catered for by opening up the nearby Chisholm TAFE’s car park, he said. Cr Matthew Kirwan, who opposed the application, said other places of worship had moved and built new temples in Springvale South due to parking overflow or been knocked back by the council on the basis of crowded parking.

No mind for health By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS PSYCHIATRISTS are shunning Greater Dandenong and the south-east corridor in favour of their leafy home suburbs, according to a local mental health director. Eastern Regions Mental Health Association services development director Christine Thornton said it contributed to a large inequity in available mental health services. “Most psychiatrists and clinical psychologists tend to go into the city or work near their homes. “We’re finding fewer are coming into the Greater Dandenong area to work.

“We see it with a lack of doctors going to rural areas. “It’s something we need to take seriously or we’re going to have a greater disparity for people receiving support.” In the south-east growth corridor, there is increasing strain on available mental health services. ERMHA’s community health service turns away people due to an “astronomical” waiting list, Ms Thornton said. A Monash University study published last week confirmed a two-tiered mental health system. It found Medicare-funded psychiatrists and clinical psy-

chologists in Greater Dandenong were accessed at half the rate of those in the substantially more socio-economically advantaged City of Bayside. The study concluded the federal Better Access initiative introduced in 2006 to improve access to mental health care had not provided “universality”. Liz Carr, acting director of Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council, said the study showed that GPs - who could refer patients onto the Medicare listed mental health services were not well enough informed. “I suspect GPs are making value judgements on the socioeconomic status of the person

tal health services - including a chronic lack of hospital mental health beds. “The public health system doesn’t discriminate but it’s just not enough.” According to health department statistics, Dandenong Hospital - the region’s main mental health unit - is failing to meet an 80 per cent benchmark for moving an adult patient from emergency to a mental health bed within eight hours. Between July 2013 and September 2014, the hospital’s score was in the sixties, apart from a 78 for the April-June quarter last year.

based on where they live. “They think you can’t afford to pay so you will have to wait for a psychiatrist. “This affects those who don’t meet the criteria for involuntary treatment but need psychiatric support - and live in the wrong suburb.” Ms Carr said “way too few” psychiatrists bulk-billed even though they were still paid a handsome government rebate. “I’ve seen people quite desperately trying to find a psychiatrist and really struggling with it.” The situation was exacerbated by the “scarcity” of public men-

This month the Dandenong man will give up his hair to help others touched by the disease. Mr Gibbons will hold a Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave event at the Dandenong Workers Social Club from 7pm on Tuesday 17 March.

“They do such magic work, and they need every cent they can get,” he said. Dandenong barber Ian Bray will donate his services for the event, and the social club will offer a two for one meal deal to encourage people to attend and donate. “Everyone is welcome so come and have a meal with some friendly folk,” Mr Gibbons said. “Be brave and shave,

The 30-year-old argued with another man known to him in Cadd Lane, Dandenong, about 2pm on 26 February when he suffered chest stab wounds. He was taken to The Alfred hospital in a serious condition where he underwent surgery. Police arrested a 46-year-old Noble Park man and charged him with intentionally causing serious injury. He was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 22 May.

Thieves entered the home through a rear window and took a purse and car keys. The residents got up when they heard a car door open and close and the car start, but were unable to stop the theft.

WOMEN who make it happen received recognition from Women’s Health in the South East (WHISE) last Friday. WHISE CEO Susan Glasgow said at a ceremony in Dandenong that this year’s International Women’s Day on 8 March was themed Make it Happen. She presented awards to 29 women who are doing just that, including Luz Restrepo, who felt frightened and isolated when she arrived in Australia from Colombia in 2010. Luz started to make and sell crafts with other women in similar circumstances and support group SisterWorks was born. She received the Service to the Community award. Nigerian-born Abiola Ajetomobi was awarded the Future Leader title for juggling studies, work and family life while raising funds and collecting goods to support other Nigerian migrants. Tiffany Hughes, 16, won the Youth Achievement award for her school involvement and leadership. Family violence survivor Carla Gagliardi received the Inspirational Woman title for her work to change laws around naming and shaming those who breach intervention orders (IVOs). “When I began this journey it wasn’t to be inspiring or achieve recognition,� she said. “I simply felt the justice system had let me down. “I felt I had to be the voice of other applicants for IVOs.�

tang pulled into a Dandenong North service station a few days later. The driver and Vivianti fled in the car as police approached. The car was soon recovered in Bruce Street, Dandenong. With her offending, the accused had breached a 12-month community corrections order. Vivianti’s lawyer said her life had changed significantly since then, giving up drug-taking and giving birth to a second child in January. He said the single mum was “disgusted and felt sick” about her offending. “She now appreciates a (community) order and will do something with it. “She realises she’s at the doors of jail.” However Magistrate Lou Hill said the theft and “very worrying” violence were “highgrade criminal activity”. He said Vivianti “blew” her previous corrections order and she was ordered to do 100 hours of voluntary work as part of a 12-month community-based order.

A FIRE that tore through grassland in Dandenong was deliberately lit, police have said. They are appealing for information about the grass and

scrub fire which started alongside the EastLink Trail at the end of Wayne Court just after 4pm on Friday 20 February. Police said it burned out an

area of 50 metres by 20 metres and he appealed for anyone who may have information about the incident to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A SINGLE mum has been placed on a community-based order for violently beating two women as well as being involved in the theft of a rare Mustang convertible car from Narre Warren North last year. Kassandra Vivianti, 21, of Narre Warren South pleaded guilty although she argued in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday last week that she was at the time in the grip of a “short and severe” ice addiction. Police prosecutor First Constable Tess Davison told the court that Vivianti had crossed a street in Doveton to attack a woman who was walking her dog one afternoon last April. Egged on by her then-boyfriend, Vivianti took a swig from a can of drink and spat it into the woman’s face. She then repeatedly punched the woman’s face and body. Vivianti pulled the victim’s head down by her hair and kneed her in the face, and continued with the assault until

the victim grabbed Vivianti’s glasses. First Const Davison said the victim left with a cut nose. Vivianti had claimed to police she was protecting her boyfriend but conceded she may have punched her “one too many times”. On 1 July, Vivianti, accompanied by an unknown male, punched a woman’s face, pulled her hair and tried to yank her out of a vehicle. Vivianti later denied striking the victim’s face with a wooden bat, telling police she didn’t recall the incident. She later threatened the victim - who had suffered a bruised, swollen eye - with text messages such as “you’re f***ed”, “you wait till I see you next” and “we’re on our way”. She was also charged with two other accused for the theft of the distinctive $75,000 Ford GT Mustang - stolen from a locked home garage while the owner was on holiday between 2 and 5 May. Vivianti was identified as the front passenger when the Mus-

ENZO RAIMONDO

CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

STILL INVESTMENT GEMS TO BE FOUND For those who are dreaming of owning their first home, confirmation by the Reserve Bank this week that rates will remain on hold is welcome news. Statistics showing a drop in the proportion of first home buyers in the housing market in recent years may have led some to believe that dream was out of reach. But while there are housing affordability concerns, first home buyers need not abandon hope. Interest rates are now at record lows, making it an excellent time to obtain finance and lock in a competitive loan. There’s also the option of paying

off a home loan more quickly while rates are low. And there are still plenty of affordable properties out there - if you know where to look. In some areas - the Central Goldfields, Horsham, Greater Shepparton and Colac-Otway, for example - there are properties for less than $200,000. The key is doing your research. Decide on your preferred areas and research property prices for the kind of home you hope to buy. Find those properties on the internet, then follow up and find out what they actually sell for. Get to know the local agents and

talk to them about what you can afford and what is available. Make a list of your priorities - all the things you want from your home and location, noting those which are musts and which you would be willing to compromise on if you had to. Check the prices of all the houses you view and note the differences between them. While local factors such as location and the area’s infrastructure - including highways and local roads - and the quality of the home, all impact on how much a house sells for, median prices are a useful comparative tool and a good starting point.

These median prices - that is, the midpoint of the sales in each area - are available free at reiv.com.au. If you discover your preferred area or areas are beyond your reach don’t despair. Consider your options: can family members help you raise a larger deposit? Can tighter budgeting mean you can afford to pay a little more? And hold on to your dream - don’t be deterred by the publicity. After all, by searching your preferred area and keeping an eye on the market, you’re more likely to find the best home to fit your budget in 2015.

Step up to our award winning Milan, * voted HIA’s Best Display Home 2014. The Milan 29 from our Aspire range has just won the 2014 HIA Victorian division Best Display Home between $250,001 – 300,000. It’s an architect designed home ofering afordable luxury, space and light and a range of innovative features. The sun court, for instance, actually increases the usable interior space and floods the living areas with light. Or as the judges said: “A very open home that gives the impression it is bigger than it actually is.

“Excellent workmanship, attention to detail and a feeling of spaciousness.” – HIA Judges

You can sense the diference immediately with generously proportioned spaces that flow together naturally to create vistas and extended views with picture windows usually only found in more expensive homes. The high level of luxury inclusions also caught the eye of the judges who said the Caesarstone benches, Franke sinks and Smeg appliances “represent value for money”. The overall style and elegance of this four bedroom home is typified by the raised ceiling above the dining area. Visit the Milan today – and judge for yourself.

Clinic is a sure shot

Opening up for diversity

TWO of the world’s best female basketballers shared their skills with the game’s future stars in Dandenong last month. WNBL side Dandenong Rangers invited its members and corporate partners to bring their kids along for a basketball clinic at Dandenong Stadium on 9 February. Players, including Penny Taylor and Cappie Pondexter, put the 50 children through their paces on the court with dribbling and shooting drills. They also posed for photos and signed autographs. The team will offer the same opportunity for all families who sign up as members for the 20152016 WNBL season, which kicks off in October. Email sally.phillips@ dandenongstadium.com. au for more information.

A PARADE and a concert will celebrate Greater Dandenong’s differences during Cultural Diversity Week. Places of worship will also throw open their doors for the week, which runs from 14 to 22 March and coincides with United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on 21 March. It’s an opportunity for everyone in the community to share their culture, faith and language. There’ll be an International Dress Parade in the Dandenong Civic Square from noon to 1.30pm on Wednesday 18 March, showcasing contemporary and traditional clothes from the municipality’s many diverse communities. The Unity in Diversity Concert will run from 10am to 3pm on Friday 20 March at Springvale Learning and Activity Centre, 1 Osborne Avenue, Springvale. The free family-friendly event will bring Greater Dandenong’s rhythms, colours, languages and cultures to life. The Interfaith Network of the City of Greater Dandenong has arranged for mosques, temples and churches to open their doors between 14 and 22 March to promote understanding and respect. Visit www.dandenong.starcommunity. com.au or call Helen Heath on 0408 571 483 for details.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Breakfast wakes to a drunk dog day By NARELLE COULTER COMEDIAN Nelly Thomas isn’t shy about laughing at mental illness, specifically her own life-long tussle with anxiety. Ms Thomas entertained a predominantly female audience on Friday at a South East Business Networks showcasing women in business breakfast. Held to co-incide with International Women’s Day, the breakfast had a serious message about mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Awards were presented to businesses participating in the SEBN Healthy Workplaces Achievement Program during the morning. Penne Dawson from SANE Australia also spoke, but it was Ms Thomas who cut through the stigma surrounding mental health with a candid address about her own history of anxiety and depression. She cheerfully admitted to relying on anti-depressant medication and asked who in the audience took anti-depressants. One person raised their hand. She applauded their courage, but said statistically there would be others in the room who were too embarrassed or ashamed to admit they took medication for a mental illness. “Australian are nuts,” she said, likening depression not to a black dog but a drunk dog. Statistics show that 45 per cent of Australians will experience a mental illness at some stage in their life and that 20 per cent of the population experience mental illness in any 12-month period. According to the World Health Organisation, depression will be the number one affliction affecting people in both the developed and developing world by 2030. Ms Thomas has suffered chronic anxiety since her early twenties. “I like to sing it (the word

It sounds less like a debilitating disease and more like fun,” she said. “I also had a bit of depression which makes me more interesting in that I’m not just anxious all the time.” She said depression left sufferers feeling “blurgh!” all the time. “And not just a little bit, like you’ve had a bad day or something’s gone wrong, but it’s a persistent blurgh. “I think a better description than black dog, is drunk dog.

“You feel so drunk you are out of your mind and you also can’t snap out of it. “Imagine someone so drunk that during a driving test they are asked to walk along a straight line. “Cognitively you just can’t do it. With depression you can’t just cheer up. It’s not cognitively possible. You need help.“ She likened anxiety to a little yappy dog “the kind Paris Hilton would carry in her bag”. “It just won’t shut up. It’s yappy and persistent. That’s

what anxiety feels like when you’re having an attack. “You find it hard to focus, you are irritable, you get tight muscles in your neck and back, headaches and insomnia. And you worry. If I had to pick one word to describe anxiety it would be worry. “Ordinary thoughts turn into big things. I might be walking my kids to school when I see two lemons on the path. My first thought is ‘I’ll pick these up, after all lemons are a $1 each’. But my second thought is ‘what

if a serial killer has injected them with poison?’. There is no way I am going to cook with those lemons so I pick them up and send them to Sam Newman.” She said anxious behaviour in the workplace - working late, checking emails and taking phone calls after hours, perfectionism and refusing to take time off - was often rewarded. “Which manager doesn’t love a perfectionst as long as they get things finished. “But in the long term they (the behaviours) can come back to bite you like that little dog.” She said anxiety and depression were never really cured, but could be managed. “When I was young I hoped it would go away but it turns out that hope is not a medication. If you try and ignore it it will get worse. “And when people say ‘just relax’ that is really not helpful.” What has worked, she said, was professional help, medication, a healthier diet, exercise, listening to music and laughter. “Sixty-five per cent of people don’t seek treatment because it’s hard to find someone and for some it’s expensive. “I know Dandenong is one of the regions where it is hardest to access psychiatrists or psychologists because they are concentrated in the inner city. “But if you do get (professional) help you will feel a lot better.” Penne Dawson encouraged businesses to take advantage of SANE’s workshops and training programs. She said almost 50 per cent of employees take time off for depression but most don’t disclose the reason they are having time off, and that many managers don’t have HR support when it comes to dealing with mental illness in the workplace. If you need help for anxiety or depression contact SANE on 1800 187 263.

Firms banned for poor training DANDENONG automotive businesses are among eight in Victoria which have been disqualified from hiring apprentices. The Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) looked at 115 auto industry employers during an investigation into low quality training, checking whether 160 apprentices were being properly supervised and trained. The apprentices were all enrolled with a common training provider and those wanting to continue their apprenticeship were offered support to continue with another provider. Training and Skills Minister Steve Herbert said the VRQA uncovered poor supervision, inappropriate work tasks or facilities, and limited evidence of training. The VRQA will this year conduct regulatory campaigns targeting specific qualifications and occupations and will be on the lookout for inadequate supervision, work or duties that don’t match the qualification an apprentice is enrolled in, and employers who don’t release apprentices to attend training or pay them to attend training. The VRQA has worked with unions, the automotive industry and relevant State and Commonwealth Government agencies. Any apprentice or trainee with concerns about their supervision or training can call the VRQA on 1300 722 603.

Afghan fans fly the flag A CRUSHING loss didn’t dampen the spirits of the Afghanistan Cricket Team fans who flocked to Dandenong Civic Square last Wednesday. They watched the side’s World Cup clash with Australia at the WACA Ground in Perth live on the big screen on 4 March. Kids tried their hand at bowling and batting throughout the match, and Afghanistan flags filled the square. Australia amassed the highest score in a World Cup and the highest One Day International total on Australian soil with 417 runs from its 50 overs. Afghanistan was bowled out for 142 runs in the 38th over. But the country has only played the game internationally for the past 10 years. Afghan refugees in Pakistan formed the Afghanistan Cricket Federation in 1995 and it’s now the fastest growing sport in the country.

Girls reach out By JARROD POTTER FOOTBALL is only one aspect for the newly formed Endeavour Hills Women’s Football Club. It seems an odd thing to say but under the direction of Beehive Foundation founder Mark Haughton - who is the coach of the inaugural Falcons’ team - Endeavour Hills wants to pursue more than just on-field success in 2015. Outreach is critical - junior female football development was one of the first steps the club took even before their first match and the other key tenant of Falcons’ football will be community service with the elderly whether cutting lawns, cooking meals or just giving them company. Their community-minded focus and attention to personal development has seen the Falcons’ ranks balloon beyond 50 players, allowing Haughton and his team - including three assistant coaches Josh Downes, Marcus Kleinhardt and Nick Buxton - to expand to two teams this season. “Footy is much more than playing on a Sunday,” Haughton said. It affects everything that you do and all the girls have plugged into this mindset.” It’s an amazing effort for a new team to generate such interest, but it all comes down to the player-first attitude at Endeavour Hills. “One of the girls brought a girl from work - she was a first-timer - and she couldn’t believe how comfortable she felt here, so she brought another and a whole bunch of new girls have come down,” Haughton said.

Above - Coach Mark Haughton has instilled more than just possessions and goals in the Falcons’ mindset ahead of the VWFL season. 135442 Right - Danielle, one of the 50 or so Falcons’ recruits, thumps a long, driving punt during training last Thursday. 135442 Pictures: JARROD POTTER “That’s what it’s all about - I love watching the girls develop as footballers. “Just really proud - I’m excited to give this many women an opportunity to play footy and coming into the club, just to be able to do something great for the community is really thrilling.”

Even though they’re not solely footy minded, Haughton admits the natural competitors among the group are keen to hit the ground running this season and hopefully chalk up a few wins en route to the finals. “You’ll ask the girls and they say they want to play finals - which is what you want to hear as a coach - but the

realistic goal is that we create an inclusive culture that people will knock on our door next season to join us,” Haughton said. The club has practice matches against Cranbourne and Rosebud on the last weekend of March, before it kicks off its first VWFL campaign on Sunday 19 April with Division 3 away

at Bayswater while the East Division team faces AFL Gippsland. The club is seeking sponsorship for its teams and players. For more information about Endeavour Hills WFC, contact coach Mark Haughton on endeavourhillswomen@hotmail.com or 0452 205 929.

Billie could be the hero Sweet victory for Peatling By JARROD POTTER KEYSBOROUGH’S Big V women’s team - in its second season - has taken enormous steps under new coach Craig Smethurst. With star recruits Billie Lucas - a Great Britain national representative - Emily Rider and Ashleigh Wright adding top-of-the-roster depth to the Cougars squad, Smethurst believes everything is coming together at the right time ahead of next week’s season opener. “Obviously we had six or seven girls return this year and six we’ve added to the group this year, so it’s moulded the group together,” Smethurst said. “With the BIG V having such a long pre-season, it allows us to put things together and we’re improving week by week, and that’s all you can ask for. “Hope we’re ready for Round 1, but it’s all about building momentum and there’s a lot to happen between now and then.” His Cougars had their last pre-season hit outs across the long weekend at the BIG V preseason tournament, with Keysborough losing to Mornington on Saturday 24-31 in its first clash. “It was not too bad - good first up hit out as we got everyone on the board and we have a few left to rotate in,” he said. “For the rest of the weekend it’s about getting everybody

so she’ll have a hit out against Melbourne Uni.” Of the returning Cougars, Smethurst praised Van Vugt, cocaptain Sarah Collins and Luci Johnson for taking the next step in their development and keeping pace with the new recruits. Keysborough women will open the season against Melbourne Uni on Saturday from 6pm at Springers Leisure Centre. Keysborough’s Men and Youth Men sides are off playing the Ballarat Basketball 47th Senior Tournament this long-weekend before their season opener against Coburg on Sunday.

GRAND final minutes didn’t matter to Mason Peatling. While it would have been a crowning achievement to get on court in Vic Metro’s double-overtime triumph against Tasmania, just making the squad was already a stellar feat for 17-year-old Peatling from Berwick, at the Under-20 Australian Junior Basketball Championships. Peatling didn’t expect to even make the side a few months ago, as he was selected as an emergency for the Vic Metro team ahead of the championships, so to be part of the squad and win gold in front of a home crowd at Dandenong was all the more special for the 200cm power forward. “It was a really good experience because I’ve never played on a state team before,” Peatling said. “It was something I always wanted to do and I was probably always cut just beforehand or overlooked for a position in the team, so it’s something I’ve always wanted.” With two overtimes and a delay of game as the power went out during the storm that lashed Victoria over the weekend, the grand final was a lengthy battle that Vic Metro just managed to take - win-

ning 105-104. After three months of arduous training as a bottomage emergency for Vic Metro’s under-20 men’s team, Peatling earned a chance elevation to the main roster af-

Picture: JARROD POTTER ter an injury opened up a last minute spot. “Getting an emergency spot initially was a good thing and I just wanted to take advantage of that as a bottom ager, to take momentum into

next year and potentially make the team,” Peatling said. He earned court-time in six of the eight matches in the championships - with a best return of eight points, five rebounds against the ACT on Wednesday. His personal highlight came against Western Australia as he had to man Perth Wildcats’ development player Rhys Vague. For now it’s back to his Dandenong duties as the national champion hopes to excel in this season’s Youth Championship League and potentially earn a SEABL debut for the Rangers and maybe even cast a cursory eye towards American colleges next year. Peatling wanted to thank his parents - Markus and Susie - and his Dandenong Rangers’ coach Ricky Baldwin for their support and guidance. The south-east was also well represented in the women’s under-20 gold-medalwinning team as Ripplebrook’s Rachael Antoniadou excelled in Vic Metro’s 75-41 win over Western Australia. Antoniadou had the honour of captaining the Victorian side to its fifth championship victory in a row as she averaged seven points and 2.38 assists per match.

SPORT Baseball Victoria - Division 2 1st, Finals 2

Four premierships... in one season MAKING it two-for-two from the senior teams, Springvale Lions’ men stepped up this week to claim the club’s fourth premiership this season. After taking an extra-innings win in the first of the three-match series at Melbourne Ballpark, Springvale ensured there would not be a third clash needed with a thrilling 10-8 win over Moorabbin. Led by coach Scott Wearne, who plays for the Melbourne Aces ABL team, the Lions marched into the finals on the back of five successive wins before rolling the minor premiers Sunshine to set up a grand-final showdown against the Panthers. It was all square at 4-4 through four innings before the floodgates opened for Springvale - Glenn Mascoll started the run-fest with a solo home-run before Tim Brown hit in Lucas Price and a first base error helped push Spring-

vale out to a handy 8-4 lead. Moorabbin didn’t concede from there, bringing the margin back to one before Wearne took to the mound at the bottom of the sixth innings. Wearne would hold Moorabbin to one run for the final three innings - an exceptional closing effort from the traditional shortstop/in-fielder at the elite level. With a two-run lead in the final innings, Springvale picked off the final two Moorabbin runners at second base to earn its first senior men’s Division 2 premiership since 1998/99.

NATIONAL PREMIER LEAGUES - Round 4

Thunder struck twice By JARROD POTTER THUNDER-STRUCK by a five-goal Green Gully haul, Dandenong was left to lick its wounds after its second home-ground NPL loss in as many weeks. Dandenong pushed frantically to start the match, with chances for Yusuf Ahmed, Veton Korcari and Alan Mulcahy going begging as Kieran Gonzalez held strong in the Gully goals. Mulcahy was exceptional through the midfield - generating chance after chance for the Thunder forwards - as he streamed from goal-line to goal-line. The Thunder failed to make the most of its chances, but it wasn’t the case for Green Gully, striking late in the half through a penalty from Rinor Muriqi the first of the evening, before seconds later Green Gully’s second would fly through for Omar Abdigafar. Thunder’s forward

maestro Veton Korcari finally latched onto a goalbound strike - drawing the Thunder to 1-3 down. South Springvale’s FFA Cup goalkeeping hero Rani Dowisha was brought into the match for Green Gully - replacing Gonzalez in the goals - and was superb in his half-an-hour in the match as he held out Dandenong’s advances. Dandenong would be reduced to 10 men and from there Green Gully capitalised. Goals flew through for Matthew Sanders, Alan Blumgart and the icing on the cake from Liam Scott to round out the victory. Faisal Sakhi Zada came off the bench to score a consolation goal for the Thunder to finish the threegoal rout on a somewhat high note. Thunder face Kingston City in an FFA Cup match on Saturday from 7pm at The Grange Reserve.

Close but no cigar for Thunder striker Veton Korcari as this attempt went begging. 135682 Picture: JARROD POTTER

FFA CUP- Round 3

Near thing on Western front By JARROD POTTER A FAIRYTALE revival from last year’s FFA Cup fairytale side, South Springvale rallied after going a goal-down to force extra time and take a 3-2 Round-3 win over Western Suburbs. Starting its FFA Cup campaign for 2015 - still buzzing after making last year’s FFA Cup round of 16 - Aris will need to work on its finishing after squandering countless chances in front of goals through the second half. Western took the lead twice, but to Aris’ credit, the home side fought back to force the match into extra time before sealing the deal with a super-strike from Konstantinos Stratomitros. South Springvale earned the equaliser just before halftime as Nassim Courail found his way through the Western front to put in Aris’ first goal of the new season. The State League-1 side had all of the play against a flat-lining Western Suburbs in the last

Relief for South Springvale coach Bill Lambropoulos after his side pulled off another fairytale FFA Cup triumph. 135681 25 minutes, but could not fire the match-winner in regulation. Horror misses from Dean Panagopoulos and a goal-line sitter squandered by Perry Lambropoulos left the scores unnecessarily levelled. Careless defending allowed Western’s William Teixiera to get through and take the lead for the visitors, to the shock of all and sundry at Warner Reserve. From there Aris had to scramble to keep their Cup hopes alive.

A frenzy on the goal-mouth led to scores levelling in the dying seconds of regulation time as Lambropoulos made amends for his earlier error - getting on the end of a headed deflection from Zois Galanopoulos to leave scores 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes. Extra time was all one-way traffic though as South Springvale smashed through via Stratomitros in the 93rd minute to ice the game and put Aris through to the fourth round. “Doing it the hard way - this

year we’ve had to recruit some new boys in the squad and let some of the older ones go,” South Springvale coach Bill Lambropoulos said. “I think the talent is there this time… last year we had more of a team effort, but I believe given games - as we’ve only had two together - I think this team will gel. “Last year we didn’t have the pressure, but this year we have it as we’ve got a little bit to show that we deserve to be there.” Lambropoulos praised his recruits Dionysios Liosatos and Kostantinos Daskalakis - who have only been in the country a little over a week - and thinks they’ll offer Aris a lot up forward and through the centre. In other local FFA Cup results, Langwarrin easily dispatched a gallant Noble Park United 2-0, Casey Comets flew past Heidelberg Stars 2-0, while Berwick City matched Aris’ margin with a 3-2 win over Altona Magic. Hampton

South Springvale recruit Dionysios Liosatos flies towards Pictures: JARROD POTTER goals. 135681 Park Sparrows succumbed to Westgate 1-5 in the region’s only loss. The NPL sides enter the equation next round, with Dandenong Thunder taking on Kingston City while NPL1 teams Dandenong City and Springvale White Eagles will also join the pursuit for Cup glory.

SPORT DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION - Turf 1 Semi-Final

Cobras make the big leap WHO would have thought 136 could be competitive in a final!

SPRINGVALE SOUTH v MORDIALLOC SPRINGVALE South (133) showed there’s no giving up in Bloods territory as the home-side managed to catch Mordialloc (5/71). It went pearshaped at the start for the Bloods as Nathan King (2) ran himself out before the next five batsmen fell within nine runs of each other as the likes of Stuart Squires, Chathura Athukorala and Monto Perera started searing through the Springvale South line-up. Gallant knocks came from Jackson Sketcher (30) and captain Craig Slocombe (16) to arrest the bleeding, but they too would succumb to the Bloodhounds after a gutsy 46-run stand. It left the tail to wag, and wag especially hard at that, to give the Bloods anything worth defending. Luckily for Springvale South, the tail is long and the tail is talented. Harry Staude (28 not out) and Jarrod Armitage (13) rallied the first passage of stellar defence, pushing the Bloods near enough to triple figures before Armitage had a brain-fade and swept his way back to the pavilion. It brought in a unique number 11, in that this one has four centuries this season, including one already on Saturday. Bloods young gun Ryan Quirk (21) came to the crease at last drop - already knackered after batting all morning in the under-17s final, making 100 retired not out against Endeavour Hills. He couldn’t rest on his laurels though as the Bloods needed someone to champion the innings. Alongside Staude, the duo added 44 for the final wicket - important runs in context of this match. The duo had to see off Athukorala and Perera, but managed to edge their way towards something respectable before Quirk’s knock came to an end after 60 balls. At stumps, Jarrod Armitage (3/332) and Yoshan Kumara (2/25) had bowled their side back in to the match with 22 overs cannoned into the Bloodhounds between them. Armitage’s third scalp - a straightening fuller bowl the umpire had to give out LBW - reduced Mordialloc to its tail ahead of Sunday’s resumption. Late breaking news on Sunday and despite a gallant bowling effort, Springvale South could not restrict Mordialloc as the visitors chased down the required runs early on Sunday afternoon.

CRANBOURNE v HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTRICTS A LITTLE from a lot of Cobras led Heinz Southern Districts (216) to an imposing tally against ladder-leading Cranbourne (1/1). Heinz will rue its chances to cash in and dispose of any Eagles’ chance as four batsmen went past 25, but none cashed in for 50. Matt Cox (38) and Michael Davies (32) led the middle order charge after Adam Semmens (32) and Matt Downe (28) kicked off proceedings at Casey Fields. Steve Spoljaric (2/36) proved tough to get off the square, while Te Ahu Davis (1/63) rattled off 10 maidens in his 25 overs. The wickets would come through Cam Kelly (3/27) and Martin Kelly (2/31) as the Cobras could not finish the job en route to a steep, but chaseable 216. That chase

Keeping his side in the fight, Springvale South’s ’number 11’ Ryan Quirk excelled under Pictures: JARROD POTTER pressure. 135680 didn’t start well for the Eagles as Brayden Roscoe (0) succumbed to Chad Van Estrop (1/0) before stumps. However by day two Sunday, not even a solo Cranbourne (152) knock from Steve Spoljaric (88) could halt Heinz as the visitors advance to the grand final.

TURF 2 IN A very Narre semi-finals, Narre South, Narre North and Narre Warren are in the mix for finals, while St Brigids/St Louis rounds out the four hunting a place in Turf 1 next season. After last year’s demotion - following a controversial draw after their pitch was tampered - it looks like Narre Warren (133) is one round away from a Turf 1 return. Narre North (115 and 0/14) could not match the might of the Magpies - especially spearhead bowling from the skipper Kaushalya Weeraratne (6/31), who speared through for his fourth fivewicket haul this year. The lower-order fight of Abid Ali (38) was the only knock of note for the home side as the remaining attack fell to Weeraratne and his devastating first up spell. The reply was quick and painless as Narre Warren took the points on the back of David Wheeler (48).

St Brigids/St Louis (220) made sure it would not be easy for Narre South (1/29) as Mark Jamieson (61) and Paul Dunn (45) excelled at the top of the order. Despite the best efforts of Ali Mortaza (6/32) - taking career best figures when it matters most - the Lions could not halt the visitors’ charge at Straithaird Reserve on Saturday. Aaron Douglas (3/37) was the other main wicket taker for the Lions.

TURF 3 ASPENDALE (242) is well placed to make it one premiership from one DDCA season as it smashed past Springvale South (2/33). Joshua Boyle (91) led the charge for the Dales alongside Chris Cleef (34) and number 11, Johnathan Whiteoak (21 not out). Mitchell Forsyth (3/50) was the top Blood from the bowling crease. Dingley (8/91) squeaked by North Dandenong (84) to take first innings points. A shared bowling force rattled through the Northerners without much resistance. In reply, Dingley’s skipper Travis Sawers (27 not out) saw off the worst of the Northern attack to guide his side to first innings points. Complete results will be available on the Dandenong Journal website on Monday.

Pumping the guns after his third scalp, Bloods’ bowler Jarrod Armitage roared into life in the dying overs on Saturday. 135680

DOUBLE the south east trouble will come to the VSDCA finals after Noble Park and Endeavour Hills both qualified for the last stage of the season.

NOBLE PARK v BRIGHTON AFTER falling to the lower rungs of the ladder, with a 1-3 start to the season, Noble Park (5/122) returned to the peaks of its power. Ash Perera (4/32) found his peak form at the right moment rattling through the Brighton top order alongside Rizan Mawzoon (1/12). Only one partnership ever threatened the Bulls the stand between Andrew Martin (34 not out) and Jack Lees (20) - but it was quickly unravelled by Mevan Fernando (2/22) to finish off the visitors’ tail approaching the completion. Chipping in up and down the order, the Bulls smashed their way to victory within 30 overs as Sanjeewa de Silva (36) and Fernando (22) led the charge to the finals.

Noble Park’s 2013/14 premiership defence will start in earnest this week against Ormond away.

ENDEAVOUR HILLS v KINGSTON SAINTS NEEDING a win to make it through, Endeavour Hills (5/159) emerged triumphantly over Kingston Saints (7/157). The middle order resolve of Kingston’s Anthony White (48) and captain Luke Wintle (47) was the only partnership of significance as the Eagles swooped on wicket after wicket. Captain Chris Periera (1/15) and Daniel Wiles (1/15) were economical throughout their spells while Matt Foenander (3/36) speared the important scalps when it mattered most. The chase was a Zach Allen (78) master-class as the teenage tyro belted half the required runs and left the rest to his team to hunt down. Allen was found short of the crease on 78, but the resolve of Foenander (33 not out) and Richard Saniga (14 not out) was enough to finish the job

Endeavour Hills wicketkeeper Ben Swift lived up to his moniker as he sped off to try and save a boundary. 135679 Picture: JARROD POTTER and push the Eagles through to the finals for the first time since 2012/13. Endeavour Hills will trek across to face Caulfield in this weekend’s finals’ clash.
