■ Court shocked after police find gun and ammunition in car...

Shotgun slammer By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

1170560-ACM06-15

A CONVICTED sex offender who pleaded guilty to multiple drugs, theft, traffic and weapons offences including possession of a concealed sawn-off shotgun in his car has been jailed for two years. Alex Kovalski, 34, of Bentleigh East, faced judgement in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday 1 June. In December, an “argumentative” and “drug-effected” Kovalski appeared to try to evade police by steering his vehicle into an Endeavour Hills side-street, police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Adam Green told the court. A bum bag on the passenger seat contained three vials of anabolic steroids, $650 cash, a small amount of an illicit drug, privilege and credit cards which did not belong to him, and a facemask. Also in the vehicle were a pocket knife, a scalpel and another knife. Further searches uncovered a double-barrel sawn-off 12-gauge shotgun in three parts

with live shotgun rounds, and two clear bags of ice totalling 2.5 grams. Kovalski co-operated with police as they searched his makeshift residence inside his Mulgrave vehicle customising factory, where he had been sleeping since he split with his girlfriend. Among the items found were 57 rounds of ammunition, a silver knife, an imitation firearm, a Winchester shotgun, 6.5 grams of ice, cocaine, counterfeit $100 and $50 notes, several mobile phones and a ballistics vest. The accused was also charged with theft after riding unlicensed on a stolen, unregistered motorcycle on Stud Road, speeding by more than 20 km/h over the limit in October. Kovalski also pleaded guilty on Monday to multiple counts of driving while suspended. Kovalski admitted to an ice habit which escalated when his relationship broke down – though his lawyer told the court he was a heavier user of cocaine. He had never owned a

firearms licence, the court was told. Defence lawyer Michelle Mykytowycz said Kovalski’s offending mainly stemmed from a personality disorder. Kovalski, who had been remanded in custody since December, had “grown up” and had plans to marry his partner when released, his lawyer said. He had complied with parole, a community corrections order and a suspended sentence in the past, she said. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Kovalski’s secret firearm seemed to be for an “illegal purpose” and that the offences posed a “very high” community risk. He took into account Kovalski’s co-operation with police, his loyal family and partner, his growing insight into his crimes and his high intelligence. Kovalski was set a non-parole period of 12 months, with 156 days served already in presentence detention. He was also fined $1500 and disqualified from driving for 12 months.

City of Casey

Community News Winter Arts Festival heats up! Council’s three-month long Winter Arts Festival (WAF) is now in full swing, with an array of arts events and activities organised across the municipality for residents to enjoy.

Council is inviting residents to have their say on a number of community consultations currently open for feedback.

Casey will be a hive of activity throughout June, July and August with pop-up performances, music and dance showcases, visual arts exhibitions, theatre shows and classes and workshops.

Council’s 2015–16 Draft Budget and Council Plan 2013–2017 (2015 review)

A feature event of this year’s WAF is the popular children’s play Bubblewrap and Boxes, which will visit Cranbourne Community Theatre for two shows on Tuesday 7 July 2015 – at 10.30 am and 2.00 pm.

Visit www.caseyconversations.com.au/budget and have your say on Council’s Draft Budget by Tuesday 16 June 2015.

Described as a captivating and beautiful piece of family theatre, the play is set in a lost mail room and includes acrobatics, clowning and a whole lot of cardboard boxes.

The budget features an operating budget of $248 million to ensure Council continues to provide vital services to over 288,000 residents and a $91 million capital works program to fund a range of necessary infrastructure projects.

The play follows the story of two oddly delightful characters – a highly-strung mailroom dweller intent on keeping his boxes in order and a free-spirited new arrival that has a strong sense of adventure. Presented by Asking for Trouble, this show is adult friendly theatre for children and one the whole family can enjoy together. Other events on the WAF program include the Casey Art Tour Bus, open studio weekend, school holiday workshops including ‘bling your bike’ and cut paper animation, ukulele classes and engaging workshops.

Thief ordered to pay for car smash spree A MAN has been ordered to compensate victims for more than $5000 in damage and thefts after smashand-grabbing from 10 cars in one night in Dandenong and Dandenong North. Troy Olierook pleaded guilty in Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday after bloodstains linked him to each break-in on Herbert, Bruce and David streets in May 2014. During the heists, the father-oftwo grabbed items such as a wallet with $900 cash, a bag containing books and religious documentation, GPS systems, a radio, and sunglasses.

In total, $2640 of goods were stolen with $3130 of claimed vehicle damage. He also pleaded guilty to possession of a machete found in his intercepted car in Doveton on 6 June 2014, which he claimed to police was to protect himself from “someone after him”. On 7 June, police found cannabis and amphetamine hidden in his car during an intercept in Dandenong. A full search uncovered two “gear bags” of ice weighing 22.6 grams in his underwear, police prosecutor Constable Troy Johnson told the court on Monday. Olierook’s lawyer said the ac-

cused had been “high” - and without recollection of his smash-and-grab spree. The accused now wanted to reestablish a timber flooring business since he was 21, following in the footsteps of his father’s success in the same industry. According to the lawyer, Olierook’s ice “experimentation” was set in train when his back was injured in a car crash and his business went bankrupt. Olierook was sentenced to seven days’ jail for handling a stolen TV last year but because of a raft of belatedly-withdrawn charges had spent more than four months in presentence detention.

His prison time was a “period of forced abstinence” from ice and cannabis, his lawyer said. Since his release in March, he had been drug-free and has recently fathered a four-month girl. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen noted Olierook’s drug offending predated the car crash, but took into account Olierook’s changed circumstances. Mr Vandersteen also considered the “dead time” spent in pre-sentence detention for “charges you haven’t been found guilty of”. He convicted and fined Olierook $2350 on top of ordering full restitution to the smash-and-grab victims.

Michael and his mates on a mission By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

BERWICK VOLKSWAGEN ›Commercial ›Passenger ›Service department 1187434-24-15

MICHAEL Dudley wants to be a mentor to others. He is one of 34 year 10 students from Maranatha Christian School in Endeavour Hills who are leaving for Thailand this week where they will volunteer at various children’s homes, hospitals and orphanages to help care for young people who are afflicted with HIV/AIDS. Michael has raised more than $850 towards the trip. “I’ve always wanted to experience a mission trip as I want to help bridge the gap between First and Third World countries,” he said. “I really believe that if we all pitch in we can make a huge difference and I want to live by example.” Michael started his fundraising for the annual Thai Mission Trip when he was still in year eight. “One of my teachers said I should consider going on the trip so I went home and talked to my parents about it on the Friday and started fundraising on the Monday,” he said. The journey will take the Maranatha students to Chiang Mai on 13 June where they will each be assigned a buddy to mentor while learning about the organisations that provide support for the children suffering from the HIV/AIDS virus. Maranatha principal Dr Roderick Crouch said the Thai Mission Trip afforded the students an invaluable insight into a Third World country. “We are so blessed to live in a country like Australia, so this trip provides some perspective about the world and how the majority of those within it live,” he said. “Community service is an im-

SEVDET Besim, the Hallam teenager charged in relation to an alleged Anzac Day terror plot, had been with Numan Haider the day he was killed last September, according to court documents. Documents released by the Supreme Court revealed that Mr Besim came to police attention because of the amount of time he spent by Haider’s grave. Haider was shot dead by police outside Endeavour Hills Police Station in September after stabbing two officers. Police said Haider had been brandishing a black flag with white Arabic writing emblazoned on it at a Dandenong’s Palm Plaza in the days leading up to his death. It is believed the Australian Federal Police were told that Haider “constituted an implied threat towards the Prime Minister of Australia“. The claims about Mr Besim came to light after a suppression order on transcripts of conversations between the accused and a 14-year-old boy in England was lifted by Justice Peter Riordan. Mr Besim and his co-accused, 18-year-old Harun Causevic, were among those arrested following pre-dawn raids throughout Casey on 18 April after a tip-off from British police. Justice Riordan ruled on Wednesday 3 June that it was in the public interest to release reasons why a preventative detention order was used to hold Mr Causevic in custody.

Bridge of tolerance By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE City of Casey is continually recognised for its multiculturalism. A plethora of people and families with wide-ranging nationalities live there. When one considers the recent terror plot allegations levelled at a number of Casey teens, as well as last September’s death outside the Endeavour Hills police station, the term ‘cultural harmony’ has arguably never held more importance for the municipality than it does at the moment. The Triveni Society of Victoria, based in Casey, is ever aware of bubbling race tensions and recently held a four-week multi-faith pilgrimage to address the issue and help educate the community after receiving a $7500 grant from the Victorian Multicultural Commission. The State Government funding allowed the Triveni Society to hold a number of events and prayer sessions,

Triveni Society Founder Satya Goundan helped organise a multi-faith pilgrimage Picture: DONNA OATES throughout Casey last month. 139892 celebrating the different cultures of Buddhism, Sikh, Hindu and Islam. Triveni Society founder Satya Goundan said the aim of the four-week pilgrimage was to educate its members and the broader community “about different faiths and bridge faith polarisation re-

sulting from the extremist trends in the world today”. “In the current global climate of Islamophobia induced by terrorism and violence extremism, the Triveni Society of Victoria has embarked on a radical plan to alleviate the misconceptions related to Islam and other

faiths and counter radicalisation,” he said. “As some young people of different faith communities are blindly bamboozled into extremism by the radicals via the social media, living safely together is creating great fears and suspicion, sparked by the recent,

sudden descent of youths into extremism. “Early intervention is necessary to reverse these dangerous trends and a powerful medium is through direct education and experience.” The pilgrimage saw the group attend a range of services throughout the region, including a prayer session at Buddhist Vihar in Berwick, a Sikh Temple in Keysborough, a Vishnu Temple in Carrum Downs and the Hindu festival, Holi. “Through the pilgrimage you are directly participating and actively involved in that faith,” Mr Goundan said. “You are actually present there, and when you are present there and with their people and actively participating, you get a much clearer picture of their faith. “It’s the fear factor that was driving these concerns and a lack of knowledge the education factor is very important.”

MP slams ‘soft on terror’ stand LA TROBE MP Jason Wood has hit out at the seat’s Labor candidate for taking a “soft” stance on terror after Mr Wood’s anti-terrorism plan was criticised as being “irresponsible.” Last month Mr Wood told Parliament his plan to launch MYHACK, a program designed to deter young people from turning to violent extremism. In an interview with the Pakenham-Berwick Gazette, Labor’s Simon Curtis said members of parliament needed to be careful not to become involved in a “scaremonger.” Mr Wood said that Curtis’ comments were an attempt to create political and community friction. “For the Labor candidate to accuse me of scaremongering when we’ve had multiple local examples of the risk we face already, I wonder what it would take for him to take the threat of radicalisation seriously? “Being weak on terrorism achieves absolutely nothing, so does he propose to do nothing and just hope for the best?” He also criticised Curtis’ view that the government should be focusing on more prevalent issues such as family violence. “Domestic violence is something far more prevalent in our community than terrorism. We need to see a better response by government on this.” “I take the matter of family violence incredibly seriously, and I do not choose to politicise it like others,” Mr Wood said. - KATHRYN BERMINGHAM

Glenys will miss her regular customers at Word bookshop. 139846

Picture: ROB CAREW

New chapter By GEORGIA WESTGARTH A DANDENONG shop that has been selling Christian books since 1977 has closed its doors for the last time. Glenys, from Word in Langhorne Street, said the convenience of online shopping had forced the bricks and mortar store onto the web. “Everything’s changed in the world. Right across the board it seems to be the world trend and the trend most customers prefer, but our customers don’t want to, they prefer coming in,” she said. “People are terribly upset and sad. The shop has been in Dandenong for 38 years.” “This place is like a home for people, I treat them as if I was home and welcome them.

“I’ve bought some seats so there’s somewhere for them to sit and sometimes they need a cuppa and if they’re not feeling well, I’ll get them a glass of water. “We love our customers, we really care about them." Glenys said the store originally opened in Mason Street, Dandenong. “Often we have people come in and speak about their personal and private stories, and I’m privileged to hear them and be a part of their confidence - I’m going to miss my beautiful customers,” she said. Three part-time workers have lost their jobs but fulltimer Glenys said she was not worried about the future with the closure of the shop.

“I’ll look for another job but the difference is when you know God is in control of your life, you know you haven’t been abandoned and that God is going to lead you onto another chapter. “We’ve always called it God’s shop, I caretake and I’ve got a manager, but it’s God’s shop and it wouldn’t have gone unless it was right.” Glenys said the bookshop had always had an online presence but customers would no longer get personalised assistance. “We sort of know the stock and can guide customers in specific situations to the appropriate material and they won’t have that online.”

Bruce Parker with a copy of Spirit High. 139039 They completed the five to sevenday descent in just two and a half. “Michael passed out several times during that walkout,” he said. They flew back to Kathmandu and celebrated at Sam’s Bar, where the owner tried to get a meal into him because “he looked absolutely terrible”. “At about 1.30am he left the bar,” Bruce said.

“His time of death was recorded as being 2am. “He died in his sleep.” Receiving the news was “probably the most difficult thing that I’ve ever experienced”. “The consolation – if there is a consolation - is that he died doing what he loved doing,” Bruce said. “He said to his mother and I on a

number of occasions that he was never, ever happier than when he was on a big mountain.” He said that unlike many other climbers, Michael had a lot of time for the locals. “Nepal’s probably one of the poorest countries in the world and he knew that education or lack of was the common denominator,” he said. “In those remote areas there are

Legal help for Centrelink aid PEOPLE running into Centrelink hurdles are eligible for free legal advice at Victoria Legal Aid’s Dandenong office. VLA commonwealth entitlements program manager Len Jaffit said many people didn’t realise they have the right to request a review of Centrelink decisions. “Many people struggle to understand Centrelink’s complex processes and legal help is important in helping them to examine all their options,” Mr Jaffit said. VLA regional managing lawyer Elissa Scott said the ser-

A DANDENONG businessman is honouring his late son’s memory by educating the poorest children in the Himalayas. Bruce Parker, a former commando who has run HM GEM Engines in Dandenong for 25 years, last week released Spirit High: The Mick Parker Story. Proceeds from the mountain climber’s biography will go to the new Michael Parker Foundation. “It’s about providing education for disadvantaged children, particularly in remote areas of Nepal and northern Pakistan and also Australia,” Bruce said. “On many occasions Michael gave away all of the money he had on him. “It’s a continuation of what his life’s work would have been about.” Michael scaled the world’s highest mountains without bottled oxygen, guides or Sherpas. He climbed nine of the world’s 14 peaks that are higher than 8000 metres - three of them twice. He died on 21 May in 2009 at age 36, shortly after reaching the summit of Makalu in the Himalayas. Bruce said he was climbing with the United Kingdom’s top mountaineer, Roland Hunter, and had a virus. “He passed out several times on the way into the mountain,” he said. “The weather was abhorrent and the remainder of the expedition decided to abandon the expedition but Michael and Roland decided to stay on for one more crack at the summit. “They had a very small window of opportunity so they pushed themselves very hard. “They were successful.”

very few schools and in villages where there are no schools basic education is carried out by the older people in the village and usually consists of a pointed stick with lessons scratched in the dirt. “He would use his own money to take those materials into some places when he went climbing. “He could see how they were received and he felt it made a big difference. “His intention was to do it on a bigger scale.” The Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation already works with Nepalese schools. “But the areas where the schools are, are not remote areas,” Bruce said. So the Michael Parker Foundation is working in conjunction with World Expeditions Foundation, which provides volunteers to supervise and help locals to build schools. The foundation will also support the Commando Welfare Trust, which Bruce and ex-commanding officer Graham Ferguson started in 2010 in the wake of a Black Hawk helicopter crash in Afghanistan. “A number of our commandos were killed and some seriously injured,” he said. “These soldiers’ dependents would be in a position where they would struggle as far as education is concerned. We fill the gap where department of veteran’s affairs, or DVA, and Legacy don’t go. “They don’t pay school fees, for example. They might in certain circumstances stretch for a school uniform. “We provide the very best education for the kids because that’s what their dads could have done.” Visit michaelparkerfoundation.org. au to donate.

ANDREW Groh’s smiling face looked down from the screens inside the Berwick Church of Christ where hundreds of people gathered for his funeral. The Maramba Primary School principal passed away from cancer on 23 May, surrounded by his family and loved ones in much the same way that so many people were brought together at the church to bid him farewell. He was 60. The church was packed on Friday 29 May with many forced to stand on the sides and at the back to pay their respects to the man who had grown up in Doveton and given so much of himself to his local community and his profession. Andrew’s wife, Alison, and daughter, Tahlia, delivered moving tributes to their husband and father, while his sons Jordan and Lachlan read their dad’s eulogy. Maramba assistant principal Sue Peterken, a close friend of Andrew’s who shared his love of teaching, also offered her own touching tribute to the man who was loved by so many. Andrew Patrick Groh was born on 17 March 1955 in Rose Park, Adelaide, and at four months old was adopted by Stefan and Cecilia Groh, immigrants from wartorn Hungary and Germany

Maramba Primary School principal Andrew Groh was farewelled by hundreds.

Andrew Groh, loved by so many, was carried from the Berwick Church of Christ at his funeral last month. 139711 Picture: ROB CAREW who were desperate to start a family in their new home. They soon moved to Doveton where Stefan returned to the shoemaking trade, a skill he’d picked up in Germany. “We always picked on Dad for growing up in Dovey but Dad always claimed he had the perfect childhood,” Lachlan and Jordan read at the service. “He was an only child and they didn’t have much, but the burgeoning, largely

immigrant neighbourhood was full of kids which meant day-long games of cricket and footy on the streets, canoeing down the Dandenong Creek. “He loved telling us about all the trouble he got into around the town.” Andrew began his teaching career at Rosewood Downs Primary School in 1976. After several years in the classroom, he became a specialist physical education

teacher before moving to Nilma Primary School, then Carrum Downs, and later arriving at Berwick Primary School in 1984. It was here where he met Alison, who Andrew used to say he’d “known from another life”. The boys said their dad had always managed to put his own problems aside and saw the best in people, even during his short illness. It was a beautiful way to approach life, they told the

room, accept the bad and appreciate the good - “because life has plenty of both”. Despite her grief, Alison vowed to continue on and promised to take her family with her. “My love for my darling will last forever,” she said. “And even though this has absolutely devastated me, and my beautiful children, and grandchildren, I promise to keep going in honour of the beautiful life we created.”

Burger gut feeling shoots for the hipsters By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS THERE seems to be a sudden appetite for hipster in Springvale. Alex Vuong and chef John Liu had a gut feel that their youthful ‘ItalianAustralian’ burger restaurant Cultural Commons would be a breath of fresh air among a glut of Vietnamese and Chinese eateries. “We’re getting a lot of people saying they’ve been waiting for a long time for something like this in their neighbourhood,” Mr Vuong said. The hit dish has been the soft-shell crab burgers served with beer-battered chips and aioli. More than 1500 have been devoured since the restaurant opened in February. It’s a lighter meal than a beef patty and is a revelation for diners who are

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL used to prying apart crab shells, Mr Vuong said. The 180-gram grass-fed-beef burgers have also been a popular choice. “We just got into this at the right time – burgers are starting to pick up in the food industry,” Mr Vuong said. Mr Vuong had learnt the trade at his parents’ Chinese-style roast duck and pork restaurant. When it closed in 2013, Mr Vuong and Mr Liu leapt at the chance of starting afresh on the same premises.

“It’s very modern and hipstery for Springvale – we wanted to target the younger crowd,” Mr Vuong said. “I realised Springvale is changing very dramatically and there’s a shortage of Western food. There needed to be more variety.” He said his parents Tong and Connie, who had run successful eateries in Victoria Street and Springvale, were initially sceptical of the ‘fusion’ venture. “They didn’t know which audience we were targeting. Now they’re all smiles.” Cultural Commons at 12 Queens Avenue, Springvale, is open from 11am to 10pm from Tuesday to Friday and 9am to 10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Phone 8555 2343.

Journey to peaceful shore ENDEAVOUR HILLS RESIDENT ASANGA SENEVIRATNE WAS AMONG 76 STUDENTS WHO REPRESENTED VICTORIA AT THE ANZAC CENTENARY DAWN SERVICE AT GALLIPOLI, TURKEY. THE BERWICK HAILEYBURY COLLEGE STUDENT SHARES HIS JOURNEY TO ANZAC COVE. “HE DIED that we might live.” Those were the words inscribed upon the tombstone of 18-year-old Private A.L. Barr as we walked through the Redoubt Cemetery off the coast of Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey. Private Barr was just one of the 2000 casualties from Australia, New Zealand, Britain and Turkey at the Redoubt and as we stood amongst their tombstones, no one knew who these men were. No one knew why they had enlisted. No one knew who they had left behind, yet there was this overwhelming sense of emotion at the sacrifice they had made - a sacrifice not only for the Australians at the time but those Australians to come. One that would ensure the security of a nation that has blossomed into the free, accepting and prosperous one it is today. One that allowed me to experience this incredible opportunity regardless of race, religion or background. One that should be truly cherished. Yet I’m neglecting the beginning of our trip, with our first two days in Istanbul spent exploring important sites

The Gallipoli trip was an emotional experience for Asanga Seneviratne. Inset: Asanga with Victorian Veterans Affairs Minister John Eren, who is of Turkish heritage. in Turkish culture and heritage including the Bosphorus strait, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, The Grand Bazaar, Hippodrome and the Basilica Cistern. We then journeyed to the Gallipoli Peninsula, visiting three commemorative sites including the Redoubt Cemetery, the Canakkale Turkish Martyrs’ Memorial and Britain’s Cape Helles Memorial. Each sites held its own significance

in the hearts of the respective nations and it put into perspective the sheer scale of the Gallipoli campaign. Recognising that those who lost their lives on the shores of Gallipoli were not only Australian but Turkish, British and French among many other nationalities highlighted the wide-reaching devastation of the campaign. These were the soldiers with the same frightened mothers and sisters, the same unwavering commitment and

same pride in their nation who would pay the same ultimate sacrifice. After a quick stop to see our penpals at the Gelibolu Antalya High School, the core of the trip was upon us - the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove. Passing four staggered security check points and fighting off a lack of sleep we arrived on the banks of Anzac Cove as thousands watched the epitaphs that flashed upon the screen.

In the bitter cold we stood as name after name appeared on the screen, each with its own story to tell. Each with a mother that had been left behind and a family left empty with its dearest son gone. Their loss was our loss as we contemplated their valour charging into what was near-certain failure given the topography of the cliff that stood behind us. As the last post reverberated through the beach followed by an emotional minute’s silence, that moment in time shared by thousands of others alongside me is something I certainly will never forget. Finally, the singing of the national anthems was undoubtedly an incredibly special moment of pride that reminded me of the reason why those diggers fought so boldly a century ago. As the service concluded, for all the emotion and sleep deprivation of the past 24 hours, the same message became reinforced in my heart that occurred to me two days before. It was the sense of serenity while standing on the cliff face in the still silence of a Turkish spring afternoon, observing the convoy of warships from various nations crossing the still waters of the Dardanelles. This was the way it was supposed to be I realised - calm, still and amiable. No cries of pain, no hissing bullets and no pounding artillery fire. No war. Just peace. So many died for this dream and I hope we all make sure we maintain it.

SENIORS ENJOYING LIFE

Warming valour quilts for veterans’ comfort served together over the four years and stayed in contact after discharge. Max and one other still survive, both more than 90 years old, and still keep in regular contact with the others’ widows. On return to Australia Max was discharged from St Kilda Road Barracks on 13 September 1946. Max has been supported throughout his life by his family and friends and since moving to Saffron Grove Retirement Village he has been enjoying the companionship of many more friends. Reginald Tokely REG was conscripted into the British Army’s 7th Battalion, Royal Corp of Signals in early 1940, just before his 21st birthday. He was stationed at Whitby,

Yorkshire, before he was sent over to France. To get their trucks, filled with men and equipment, off the boat, they had to drive over floating petrol drum in the sea, with only the sight of the reflector of the truck in front for guidance! From there he moved to Belgium and at Ostend, Reg and his two mates were required to reestablish a telegraph office for the oncoming troops to use while the rest of the troops stayed on the other side of the river. While there Germans troops unwittingly camped beside them and began shelling the British troops on the other side of the river but Reg and his friends remained hidden. This was the second time

Reg’s life had been saved. The first was while he was training and he went absent without leave to get married. When he returned to barracks the next day the place was empty because his entire troop had been deployed and were captured in Crete and never heard of again. When the war ended most of the men boarded the first train back to Calais and did not return to HQ for any personal belongings, which included some medals and driving licences because they were afraid they would get caught up if fighting broke out again. Since moving to Saffron Grove Retirement Village, Hallam, he has settled to a more companionable life. Saffron Grove is at 8 Saffron Drive, Hallam.

Maxwell Alwyn Llewelyn MAX joined the Army on 14 April 1942 at 19 years of age. After only weeks of training he was transferred to Canungra, Queensland, and from there his battalion was transported by a small ship in a convey of more than 50 ships being escorted by submarines to New Guinea. Max served in the 3rd Division 4th Brigade – Headquarters. During his four years’ service he was posted to Jacquinot Bay, Milne Bay, Lae, Finch Haven, Madang and other areas along the North Coast. On one occasion Max was transported by a Short Sunderland flying boat to Australia on compassionate leave. Max and three other soldiers

CLYDE-Cardinia Fire Brigade received a Carlisle Homes Community grant recently. Also receiving money from the company’s first cycle of grants for 2015, which ran from 1 January to 31 March, were Mercy Public Hospitals Incorporated and Eynesbury Fire Brigade. Clyde-Cardinia Fire Brigade was granted $12,000 for its system to motorise its engine bay doors. Currently Clyde-Cardinia Fire Brigade members have to unlock and manually lift a heavy engine bay door to drive out their vehicles and then lock it again before departure. Mercy Public Hospitals received $21,500 for the Werribee Mercy Hospital Kid’s Waiting Room, Upper Plenty Primary School received $6200 to develop a school garden, and the Eynsebury Fire Brigade’s $10,000 is to provide storage of firefighting appliances and operational and training equipment. The grants give locals a unique opportunity to contribute to the building of strong communities and enrich

the lives of residents. Entry for the scheme is open to Melbourne and Geelong based community groups and not-for-profit organisations of any size which are seeking funding to help enhance people's lives. The money can be used for sports and recreation, health and caring, and education and training. Successful grant recipients can receive up to $50,000 per cycle. The total grant of $50,000 per cycle may be divided between a number of selected community groups. Carlisle Homes was created in January 2004 to offer home buyers in and around Melbourne a genuine choice when building a new home. Founded by John Doulgeridis and Dave Taylor, Carlisle Homes employs more than 250 people and operates from a head office in Mulgrave, Victoria. Applications for the second cycle of funds are due by 30 June. Visit www.carlislehomes.com.au to apply.

CRUNCH THE NUMBERS FOR CASHFLOW First National Real Estate Neilson Partners is urging investors not to walk away from their next property before they have crunched their financial numbers correctly when considering depreciation. "Your next investment property may actually be more affordable than you think if property depreciation is correctly claimed," First National Real Estate Neilson Partners principal Ross Neilson said. Astute investors will usually consider the potential rental return of the property, the property’s location in proximity to local services and facilities, local employment drivers and historical growth of properties within the area. "They should also work out the tax deductible costs and other deductions involved in owning the property such as property management fees, rates, interest,

repairs, maintenance and property depreciation," Ross said. "These deductions add to the investor’s net cash return and every deductible dollar comes back to the owner at their marginal tax rate." More often than not, investors fail to consider the financial benefit of claiming depreciation prior to making their purchase. The following example shows how one property investor identified an additional yearly cash flow of $4992 from property depreciation. The property investor was considering purchasing a 10-year-old house priced at $560,000. They did some preliminary research and asked their property manager for a rental appraisal of the property, which resulted in an expected rental income of $530 per

week, or $27,560 per year. The investor was also able to work out an estimate of the costs involved in owning the property. Expenses including interest rates, property management fees, rates, repairs and maintenance costs came to $36,060 per annum. After contacting a quantity surveyor specialising in property depreciation for a free assessment of the likely depreciation deductions they could expect from the property, they found they would be able to claim approximately $13,500 in depreciation in the first full year. Without claiming depreciation, the property investor would experience a loss of $103 per week during the first year of owning the property. By claiming depreciation, the weekly cost is reduced to $7, saving them $96 per

week or $4992 in the first year of ownership. "An investor who crunches their numbers prior to making a purchase will gain a better perspective on the affordability of the property and their future cash flow position. "Once they purchase the property, a specialist quantity surveyor such as BMT Tax Depreciation can be engaged to prepare a property depreciation schedule to ensure depreciation deductions are accurate and maximised," Ross said.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Innovation to keep pace By CASEY NEILL A BERWICK small business is being nationally recognised for its ability to innovate. Successful Endeavours was a finalist at Manufacturing Monthly magazine’s Endeavour Awards on 28 May during National Manufacturing Week. Managing director Ray Keefe, from Endeavour Hills, didn’t walk away with an award but will have another chance at the PACE Zenith awards in Sydney on 11 June. Three Successful Endeavours projects will vie for four categories at the process control and automation industry awards for Australia – Waste and Wastewater, Best Fieldbus Implementation, Power and Energy Management, and Transport Power and Infrastructure. “I didn’t even apply for these,” Mr Keefe said. “PACE saw the entries we put into the Endeavour Awards and decided they would also be good candidates for the PACE Zenith awards and asked me if it would be OK if they entered them for us.” Successful Endeavours was a Technology Application of the Year finalist in last year’s Endeavour Awards for a system to test electronics. This year its ABB CQ930 threephase power factor correction controller and Internet of Things (IoT) Monitoring Platform were up for the Australian Industrial Product of the Year.

Senior embedded developer Dushara Jayasinghe and managing director Ray Keefe. 139912 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS Successful Endeavours made the controller for ABB High Voltage Division in Lilydale. “It’s a fancy word for something that cleans up the power as it’s being

distributed through the network so that you actually burn less gas or burn less coal or whatever it is you’re generating power from, to get the same amount of power,” Mr Keefe said.

“It’s an old idea but this is a really new, smart control for it. “They’re selling them like hotcakes at the moment, mostly to the UK and the US.”

His seven-person team developed the controller over six months. A Belgium team spent 20 million Euros in five years on a different version of the same product. “We, basically, do it smarter,” he said. Uses for the IoT Monitoring Platform include remote and apartment water metering. “It talks to a cloud or a web service so you can get your data from wherever it is in the world back to somewhere central and then do something with it,” Mr Keefe said. “These are now scattered around Victoria and New South Wales.” Successful Endeavours’ Telemetry Host IoT web platform vied for the IT Application of the Year. “This allows us to collect reading, send device updates and change the operating configuration of remotely deployed devices from our office in Berwick,” Mr Keefe said. “I was really stoked. So much in manufacturing in Australia we’re just focusing on big things. “To have small appliances like this actually get recognised is really good.” He started Successful Endeavours as a home office business in 1997. “By 2005 I realised I didn’t know how to make this thing grow,” he said. Mr Keefe went looking for a business mentor and tracked down the right one in 2008. He rebranded the business, repositioned it in the market and moved out of home into commercial premises. “Four months after that we won Casey Business of the Year,” he said.

Box maker is packed with pride over his young award BRAD Huggett turned to boxes to bring his family from Zimbabwe to Australia. The 34-year-old started Rebul Packaging in Hallam about nine years ago and was last month recognised for his efforts as a finalist for the Young Manufacturer of the Year title at the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards. “I was certainly very surprised. “There’s not many times in your life you get to have the word ‘young’ in front of an award,” he said. “When you’ve been doing this for nine years you certainly don’t feel young.” Mr Huggett said it was great to be surrounded by amazing manufacturers at the 26 May awards ceremony at the Crown Palladium. “To see a room filled with brilliant people who are doing amazing things in this country,” he said. “You hear a lot of bad news about the manufacturing sector, and when you walk in and see what these businesses are doing, to be even remotely aligned or in the same room as them is absolutely phenomenal. “We hope to be one of them some day.” Mr Huggett came to Australia from Zimbabwe on a student visa and then obtained a working visa. “My parents were stuck in Zimbabwe, looking for a way out,” he said.

Mr Huggett went to South Africa, built the machinery, sent it to Australia and started making boxes. “It’s an alternative to wooden crates,” he said. “Essentially it gives the same strength as a wooden crate but in a design that’s lighter. “It’s made from recycled materials and it’s recyclable. “There are no fumigation issues in sending it overseas. “It tackles a lot of issues that wooden crates have.” He set up in Hallam because

of its freeway access. “We deliver the crates all over the city,” he said. “But also the DandenongHallam area in my opinion is the capital of industry in Australia so it seemed like the best place to be. “Most of our clients are around the area. We supply to a lot of manufacturers.” Mr Huggett plans to grow the business and set up internationally. “It’s not far away, I think in the next couple of years we expect to have some international manufacturing happening,” he said. “We hope to licence the technology overseas.” - CASEY NEILL

Ms Shaikhan, an Iranianborn asylum seeker, hopes to open a Persian restaurant - if granted permanent residency. She is currently barred from paid work due to her bridging

visa conditions, but is quick to volunteer to cook up breads, pilau and soup - including weekly communal meals at her church and Friends of Refugees. “She has a big family and loves cooking for her family. She learnt recipes from her mother and just by watching what other cooks do,” Friends of Refugees chief executive Sri Samy said. The event will also feature human rights QC Julian Burnside, Real Australians Say Welcome campaigner Peter Drew and Greater Dandenong Mayor Sean O’Reilly as speakers.

Several asylum seekers will also perform music on the night. The awards recognise asylum seekers who are making the brightest contributions in their community. The award categories include community service, youth achievement, future leader, sports athlete, all-abilities sport, art, academic achievement and business achievement. Nominations close on 12 June. The awards will be staged on 20 June. For more information visit friendsofrefugees.org.au.

Our very own Golden Gator By JARROD POTTER HEADING overseas for a better chance to enter the college arena, Endeavour Hills’ basketballer Damien Rance is reaping the benefits of making an early move to America. Rance, 19, has signed on the dotted line with San Francisco State University (SFSU) ahead of the upcoming NCAA basketball season after playing out his final year of high school at Pope John XXIII High School. The road to becoming a Golden Gator was challenging to say the least as Rance packed his bags and left for greater opportunity abroad. He featured in Dandenong’s Victorian Youth Championship Men campaign in 2013 and also played SEABL that year, but craved the chance to play a better standard of basketball in the United States. Lining up for Pope John XXIII High School, Rance thoroughly enjoyed his time in New Jersey as he plied his craft in a successful side that picked up a state championship. “Going overseas to end my high school career has always been a plan of mine,” Rance said. “Talking to my trainer and mentor Luke Sunderland helped me with this process - I saw this as a head start into my college career, as the game is different and so is the lifestyle. “Another factor was being exposed to hundreds of colleges - It’s hard for all colleges to

reach out to Australia and see the talent there.” His high school basketball resumé is dotted with achievements including nomination for a McDonald’s All American honour, high school state championship and earning a Peach Jam National Championship with the New Jersey Playaz. These accolades led to a lot of prospective offers, but his love of the bay lifestyle and a familiar face helped make his decision easier as he picked SFSU. “I went on a visit to SFSU and I really enjoyed my time there,” Rance said. “It is a great city, met some great people within the school and team and the opportunity to play and be a part of a growing team is very exciting to me. “I had a previous relationship with Coach Vince Inglima (Assistant Coach) whom had coached me while he was an import for Dandenong Rangers.” At 200cm and still growing, Rance doesn’t mind mixing it with the guards or forwards and his versatility as a swingman has impressed wherever he played. “I am a hybrid player; I can play both outside and inside, depending on my match up,” Rance said. “Personally I like playing at the three - this is where I feel most comfortable. “I love hitting a big three in the last minutes of the game, boost my team to go on a run and also

Damien Rance, pictured playing for Dandenong in 2013, has signed on with San Francisco State University. 103870 Picture: JARROD POTTER making the opposing coach call a timeout.” Setting his sights on the peak of college basketball - the NCAA March tournament - Rance hopes he can play a crucial part in lifting the Golden Gators’ campaign through the ranks sticking by the side even if Division-1 opportunities are offered in years to come. “My hope for SFSU is to go to the NCAA

tournament and make a good run my first year,” Rance said. “As years go on, we aim to go deeper into the tournament and winning the whole thing. “I am very happy to be attending SFSU and do not plan on leaving.” Rance is set to make his SFSU debut in November.

Batten shaken but not stirred By JARROD POTTER SOMEBODY may have to give Lachlan Batten a belting at the beginning of every round, as Batten’s shake up proved the deciding factor in Dandenong’s impressive 19-point win over Northern Knights. After six weeks on the TAC Cup sidelines nursing a busted bicep - Batten, 18, finally returned to action for Dandenong, but it almost ended instantly after a clash of heads in the opening term. The Stingrays’ vice-captain had been roaming the defensive end before copping a big knock from a pair of Northern’s tall forwards - leaving the 175cm defender to be taken from the field in the hands of the trainers. He wasn’t seen for the rest of the term - as he went through the process to rule out concussion - but after getting the doctor’s confirmation Batten was given the all clear to get back out there. “It did hurt at the time - felt a bit dizzy,” Batten said. “One bloke came across my left shoulder and another came from the other side so it was a bit of a double hit - wasn’t too bad. “They weren’t going to let me come out again and had to go through the concussion test ... and came out firing. “Firing” is a fair understatement though. Batten was unstoppable in the forward arc crumbing the talls’ and creating his own chances en route to a three-goal haul in the second term. His efforts starting tipping the clash in the Sting-

FFA Cup

Aris play for the final eight OUR last remaining hope in the National Cup championship battled it out yesterday evening. FFV State League 1 side South Springvale hosted NPL side North Geelong Warriors for a spot in the final eight of the Victorian qualifiers for the FFA Cup on Sunday afternoon after the Dandenong Journal went to print. Aris famously made a run into the inaugural

FFA Cup’s Round of 16 before being eliminated by Palm Beach Sharks and finished second overall in the Dockerty Cup - a late goal ending South Springvale’s fairytale run. For more on Aris’ Round-6 clash yesterday - click onto the Dandenong Journal website www.dandenong.starcommunity.com.au

Hendawitharana in a spin By JARROD POTTER AN EIGHT-WICKET haul in a trial match all but secured spinning all-rounder Dulnath Hendawitharana a spot in the Cricket Victoria/ School Sport Victoria under-15 team. It was hard to keep the 14-year-old legspinner out of a trial match earlier this year as Hendawitharana snaffled up eight scalps and caught the selectors’ attention. “One of my cricket highlights was probably when I took eight-for in one of the trial games for the Victorian squad to get into the team,” Hendawitharana said. “My first wicket was my best wicket - just pitched on leg stump and hit the top of off. “It feels good to make the team - not many of my previous family members have played before, so I’m pretty stoked about it.” Hendawitharana, from Dandenong North, was thrilled with the chance to spin for his state and chip in from the lower order. “I love to bat mostly, but I’ve been picked as a bowler - I’m a leg-spinner,” he said.

“I like being an all-rounder because if you have a bad day with the bat you can always make it up with the ball and keep going. “I just started bowling when I was young and it came out well and my coach just told me to go with it so I stuck with it.” He’s no bunny down the tail end though, as the versatile right-hander loves to slog the red leather like Kumar Sangakkara or David Warner and tick off boundary after boundary. He also plays junior cricket for Noble Park and seniors for Hawthorn-Monash University in Victorian Premier Cricket after making a VPC fourths debut at 12-years-of-age with Prahran. Hendawitharana could see green-and-gold colours with a stellar outing at the tournament, as the best cricketers from the School Sport Australia 15-and-under Cricket Championships will form a Cricket Australia XI to take part in the Under-17 National Championships in September. Hendawitharana wanted to thank his coach Saliya Ahangama for his support. The Victorians head off next week for the championships, held from 13-19 June in Darwin.

The beginning of the end By JARROD POTTER MEN from all walks of life and all backgrounds must change their behaviour towards women. On Saturday taking a stand against violence towards women on behalf of their communities were Noble Park and Balwyn Football Clubs. The sides put aside their rivalry and stood together to halt the suburban scourge - domestic violence and violence towards women. Inspector Bruce Kitchen recited the humble, yet powerful White Ribbon Oath on Saturday and was joined in refrain by all who attended the blockbuster Queen’s Birthday clash. “I swear never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women.” Members of the Greater Dandenong community - from Victorian Parliament, the council, the players, supporters and members of Noble Park Football Club - sent out the unified, strong message. The Bulls also had a team of junior footballers take the oath alongside their senior counterparts to ensure the next generation is aware of this problem before they begin their own romantic lives. Improvement has arisen in the community recently, as total family incident reports to Victoria Police have dropped from 2243 to 2133 between 2012/13 to 2013/14. But this number remains alarmingly high across Greater Dandenong and has grown 66 per cent from 2009/10 - at that time 1421 reported incidents. It has resulted in some harrowing statistics - a woman is killed almost every week in Australia by a partner or ex-partner and one-in-three women will suffer some form of abuse at the hands of a partner or ex-partner in their lives. Noble Park president David Allan said the clubs wanted to band together to support a cause and violence towards women is a problem that resonates throughout the state. “It’s the first year we’ve done it and it’s a cause that’s very relevant to both clubs as violence against women doesn’t discriminate on socio-economic grounds and can happen any-

where,” Allan said. “It’s important that we see ourselves as a vehicle to spread that message to the broader community. “We’d like the White Ribbon Day to become a regular fixture… we’ll do everything we can to continue further awareness and the message that comes with it.”

EASTERN FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Round 8

Bulls get carved up By JARROD POTTER POUNCED on by more nimble opposition, Noble Park suffered its biggest loss of the season at the hands of perennial rival Balwyn. Balwyn kicked 10 goals on the trot to showcase the might of its four-strong forward line Jeff Gobbels, Luke Barker, Brendan Goss and Blake Broadhurst - en route to a 66-point triumph at Moodemere Street. Outside of a scintillating first quarter - with Kyle Martin (4 goals) jagging two of his bag in a lead-out performance from the goal square Noble Park struggled to match pace or intensity with Balwyn. While some may point to the legion of unavailable players - Shayne Allan, Ziggie Alwan, Jackson Sketcher and Brett Dore among others - as a reason for the Noble Park capitulation, rest assured the Bulls would not want any excuse against its name after the woeful performance. It was evident instead that Balwyn was more determined and far more willing to put their bodies on the line to get the job done. Seemingly half the Tigers’ outfit walked off the field limping or with a bandage or two, but the Balwyn line-up just shrugged off the pain and resumed the task at hand. Dan Donato’s charges walked all over Mick Fogarty’s men, in scenes reminiscent of the 2013 EFL grand final when these two coaches last clashed. Outside of some consolation goals in the fourth term - once the match was well-and-truly run and won - the Bulls could not find enough scoreboard pressure to put the Tigers on the back foot. Gallantly fighting from the defensive end, Piva Wright made the most of his promotion back to the first side as he held Broadhurst to two goals and Jarryd Plymin also endeavoured from the last line.

The midfield brigade - Craig Anderson and Sam Monaghan - were impressive early and once Martin switched from deep forward to the centre square, he helped rally the Bulls with 28 possessions. Noble Park drops to third on the EFL Division-1 ladder - behind Balwyn and Vermont - and travel on Saturday to face last placed Lilydale.

Keysborough MP Martin Pakula, the Victorian Attorney-General, believed the message is strongest served by friends and family at the local level to ensure domestic violence, or keeping silent about it, is no longer an option. “It’s extraordinarily important,” Pakula said. “This is about men telling other men that violence against women is inexcusable and telling men to stand up when they see something or hear

something that shouldn’t be happening. “Noble Park Football Club is a real leader in this community and for it to be taking such a powerful stand... to hear that message so strongly put by the club will have a real impact.” More information on the White Ribbon organisation is available via their website www.whiteribbon.org.au.

SPORT NPL 1 - Round 15

Down the mighty Murray By JARROD POTTER

THERE’S no public holiday rest for junior basketballers around the south east as it remains one of the more highly prized tournament weekends. Queen’s Birthday means only one thing for the Australian basketball community - the National Junior Classic. Dandenong Basketball Stadium was a co-host of the tournament for the country’s best and brightest across the weekend as Rangers’ teams descended to take on the championship. Also excelling were the Casey Cavaliers - the Cranbourne-based basketball association - as its under-14 boys earned their spot in the tournament. James Trezise, pictured fighting his way to the basket, was pivotal in the Cavaliers 5147 win on Saturday evening over Sandringham. 140150 Picture: JARROD POTTER

proaching the half. A 3-0 lead at the main break should have seen Dandenong City home comfortably, but City failed to capitalise on its opportunities, and as the shadows grew longer, Murray’s resolve grew stronger. Murray slotted two goals in 20 minutes to get back within one of City. No matter who was shooting, whether Ash Cattermole, Keegan Ziada or first-half star Matkovic, City could not pierce the net again and had to scramble to retain the three points. In the end Murray’s efforts were in vain as Dandenong City held on by the skin of its teeth - led by the backmen Chris Sanita and Chris Ross - to take the one-goal triumph. “We made life tough for ourselves,” Dandenong City coach Aaron Healey said.

Cannons make a noise By JASON ADAMS COACHES and staff of the Calder Cannons scored their first win on the big stage when the aptly named Calder Cannon took out the GRV to-the-city final at Sandown Park on Thursday evening. Cheered on by a large crew of syndicate members and supporters track side, Calder Cannon was only moderately away from box eight before navigating his way through the field and going on to win by four lengths in a smart time of 41.90. Syndicate manager Paul Groves has been involved in greyhound racing since 2008 and Thursday’s triumph is one he’ll never forget. “I’ve won some non-penalty races at Sandown on a Sunday but last night was my first full stakes

winner, and being a $14,950 final it makes it extra special,” Groves said. “We bought him at the Ready to Race sales and at that stage he had never had a race start, or had even been named - we didn’t have high expectations for him, just to get him to the track would have been satisfying.” Groves, a teacher at Salesian College, was an assistant coach at TAC Cup club Calder last year and through the year fellow coaches and staff became interested in getting involved in greyhound ownership. Although many of the syndicate members are new to greyhound racing, they’re already hungry for more. “We’ve already purchased a pup, and luckily Calder Cannon’s

portunities.” The win keeps Dandenong City near the top of the NPL1 East ladder and in contention for promotion to NPL. City will host St Albans Saints on Saturday from 3pm. Dandenong Thunder will host South Melbourne on Saturday evening while Springvale White Eagles will travel to Moreland City on Saturday.

With limited soccer action around Greater Dandenong on Saturday, all eyes focused on Frank Holohan Soccer Complex to witness City grind out a win following a second-half capitulation. The first half left most believing the match would be a one-sided thrashing as City’s Dario Matkovic and Chris Antoniadis combined to slot three goals in the first 25 minutes. Matkovic in particular impressed with a beguiling free kick that flew past Murray keeper Nathan Brown.

There's little doubt the all-new Mazda CX-3 will sell on style alone.

3 Prestige Place, Narre Warren Phone: 8796 6222 Fax: 8796 6226 www.berwickmazda.com.au LMCT 7254 1186352-CB22-15

THE stylish new Mazda CX-3 takes an interestingly different tack in small SUV design. Whereas its many competitors have produced tall vehicles that cry out that they are SUVs, the Mazda is only a little higher than a typical small-medium hatchback. A crossover between a hatch and an SUV might be just what many buyers are asking for indeed, Mazda CX-3 has selling its wheels off since it was launched in March. The familiar Mazda model names of Neo and Maxx are used for the CX-3, but are joined by two new ones. The upper-middle CX-3 sTouring and topline Akari complete the range. Pricing is highly competitive, starting at just $19,990 (plus on-roads) for the 2WD petrol manual and going up to $37,690 for the topline Akari with AWD diesel with auto. We tested two autos, a 2WD Maxx petrol and an AWD Akari turbo-diesel. The CX-3 carries the latest iteration of the highly successful Mazda Kodo design language, with the usual large vertical grille and long bonnet. Inside there’s the latest Mazda instrument layout of a large central dial with rectangular pods on either side of it. It’s neat, compact and works well, but doesn’t have the sort of sporting twin-dial style of most in the segment. Information on the seveninch centrally mounted display screen is accessed through a control knob handily placed on the centre console. Voice commands can be used to control audio functions, Bluetooth hands-free phone operation and reception of short text messages. A head-up display, not on all models, shows vehicle speed and navigation directions. Mazda CX-3 offers the option of petrol or diesel power. The four-cylinder petrol has

Model range Neo FWD: From $19,990 (manual), $21,990 (automatic) Maxx FWD: From $22,390 (manual), $24,390 (automatic) sTouring FWD: From $26,990 (manual), $28,990 (automatic) Akari FWD: From $31,290 (manual), 31,290 (automatic)

a capacity of 2.0 litres. Mazda Australia is offering both 2WD (front drive) and AWD CX-3s to Australia. This is increasingly unusual in this SUV class as many are now coming with drive only to two wheels. Six-speed manual or automatic transmissions are offered, but the manual only comes with the front-wheel-drive petrolengine combination. Australasian crash testing has yet to be carried out, but Mazda is confident its new CX-3 will receive the maximum rating of five stars. Mazda CX-3’s seats are well shaped and there’s a fair amount of space in the back seat for a vehicle in this class. However, children rather than adults will be the more comfortable in the rear. Keep in mind this is a smallish SUV and something has to be compromised in interior space. Luggage space is good for a car of this size and the twolevel-floor option is clever. A simple design of head-up display is fitted on upmarket models and works reasonably well, but isn’t as good as the full-on HUD systems being used by others. Having said that, the Mazda readout doesn’t disappear as soon as you put on polarising sunglasses. A big plus from my

point of view. Mazda CX-3 is particularly quiet and smooth on good road surfaces, especially on motorways. On typical Aussie backroads it still has a degree of comfort that’s not always the norm in this class. Handling is good with a reasonably neutral feel till you try to attack corners in a sporting manner, when safe understeer settles down the driver’s ambitions. The little Mazda’s slightly higher than average seating position makes for easier ingress and egress than a lowset hatchback, but getting in and out isn’t as simple as in competitors like Ford Kuga and Holden Trax. Similarly, while there’s a better view of the traffic ahead from the Mazda, you don’t get the same benefits as are offered by taller wagons. The CX-3’s petrol engine is responsive and is never intrusive. Its fuel consumption around town was in the eight to 10 litres per 100 kilometres range during our test. On country roads and motorways getting it below seven litres was pretty easy with a bit of care in driving. During our initial drives at the media launch of the Mazda CX-3 out of Canberra we commented that the turbo-diesel was a little slow off the line. Our test car this week was noticeably better, perhaps because it had more miles under its wheels and was run in. The strong diesel torque and responsive automatic transmission made for easy hillclimbing and safe overtaking. Diesel fuel usage was about six to eight litres per 100 in suburban and city use, dropping to high fours to mid fives in the country. Mazda CX-3’s strong styling and good pricing have seen it jump to the front of the field in its class. We expect it to stay there or thereabouts for many years to come.
