Close call for fire tip SHADOW Federal AttorneyGeneral Mark Dreyfus has called for the closure of the Taylors Road toxic waste landfill in Lyndhurst, after a fire sparked an official CFA public health warning last Sunday week. Mr Dreyfus, the current Isaacs MP, had advocated against the dump as a QC in 2008 before he entered federal politics. “It is not appropriate having hazardous waste facilities located so close to houses and businesses,” Mr Dreyfus said. “(The) fire and subsequent warnings by the CFA advising residents to take shelter indoors away from toxic smoke shows this.” The call adds weight to a long-standing campaign by residents against the tip. Thelma Wakelam, spokeswoman for Residents Against Toxic Waste in the South-East, described the fire as a “wake-up call”. She called on the State Government to develop a policy for disposing of hazardous waste. “If the government isn’t looking at closing it, if they’re not prepared to come up with an alternative site, then if they look at a hazardous waste policy they’d have to find the tip meeting the criteria.
“It’s the location, what’s in the air and in the water - no-one can guarantee there won’t be a problem with that landfill.” Colemans Road resident Ian Jensz, who lives metres from the site, admitted to thinking “gee whiz” when he was first alerted of the fire but was not worried about the landfill’s safety. “We’ve got to have this landfill and it’s just unfortunate that this one is so close to everything and the area has developed around it. “The factories should not have been built around it. “If they close it, where’s the hazardous waste going to go? Down our back streets? “From what I heard, the fire wasn’t anything serious. I don’t see the landfill being a serious threat. It’s got strict regulations and I’ve never really had an issue with it.” A CFA spokeswoman said the fire started from a reaction between different lead refining products catalysed by hot weather and drizzle about 9am. Nearby plastic caught fire from the smouldering reaction. It took 10 fire crews about four hours to put out the fire, which produced black smoke and burnt a six-by-two metre patch. A Watch And Act warning
was issued by the CFA at the time for residents in Dandenong South, Lyndhurst, Lynbrook and Hampton Park to shelter indoors with doors and windows closed and cooling systems off. The CFA spokeswoman said the precautionary warning was justified; the presence of lead made the smoke “potentially toxic”. SITA, the landfill’s operator, denied the smoke was toxic, adding the disposal of lead compounds complied with its environmental licence. “The fire did not pose a health risk to neighbours and residents,” a spokeswoman said. “The CFA identified the potential community impacts as atmospheric only (smoke and odour) and there was no odour detected beyond the boundary.” She said the landfill had strict waste acceptance and handling procedures and detailed environmental monitoring and reporting. It was built to the “appropriate buffer distances” from neighbouring sites as set out in its licence, issued by the state’s Environment Protection Authority. An EPA spokeswoman said SITA was issued a notice to supply an incident report about the fire, including “corrective actions” and the authority would decide on what should be done next.

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS YOU have to look twice not to mistake Happy African Variety Store for a hair salon. Giant posters of lushly-coiffeured models, not to mention an array of hair extensions, tints and tonics, reflect the importance of hair grooming in African culture, says chief executive Gumaa Gatang. The hot seller at the moment is Beyonce-style blond hair extensions, naturally. Mr Gatang’s store is the only business in Dandenong Plaza dedicated to African imported food, hair products, movies, bakhoor incenses, biscuits and decorative food
trays and tea urns. Many of his customers hail from South Africa, delighted to reaquaint with sweets such as Jelly Tots, tamarind lollies and chutney-flavoured potato crisps, as well as their homeland spices and beans. One of the most popular items are staple foods such as Nido powdered milk and sorghum flour for making doughs to dip into soups and mains. There’s also cool sweetened juices and soft drinks in the fridge, such as Fruiti-O which is a blast of sweetened mango. Mr Gatang, who has moved here from Egypt and Sudan, is following his parents’ line of trade. His sister Suzi opened the first Happy African Variety Store in Noble Park, which has since flourished in bigger premises in Douglas Street. “It was hard to set up the business at first.

Fine follows water death
Coroner to decide By CASEY NEILL “ALL signs of life have just stopped, but where is he? We really don’t know.� Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Kane Taylor has been investigating Noble Park grandfather Mahalingham Sinnathamby’s disappearance for the past 18 months. Last Wednesday 26 February he told a Coroner’s Court direction hearing that police now believed him to be deceased. The Sri Lankan-born 68-year-old was last seen at a doctor’s appointment in Carrum Downs on 25 August 2005. There’s evidence he filled a prescription at a Dandenong pharmacy and returned home with the medication - then nothing. “By all accounts, he just vanished,� Sen Const Taylor said. “Of course, that doesn’t just happen. But there’s been absolutely no evidence to suggest anything. “It’s really quite strange.� Mr Sinnathamby was formally listed as a missing person on 24 November 2005 after worried family members were unable to contact him. Police contacted the Department of Immigration, neighbours, hospitals, morgues, Mr Sinnathamby’s bank, family members and more in their search. In 2007 they investigated reports of a person with a similar name living in Queensland and in 2009 dispelled reports he was living in West-
MELBOURNE Water has been fined $400,000 over the death of a worker at Bangholme’s Eastern Treatment Plant in December 2011 The County Court last Friday heard technician and father of three Tim Bakerov, 53, drowned in a sewerage channel after falling in because a metal grate was missing or gave way. Melbourne Water pleaded guilty to one charge of failing to provide or maintain a safe working environment. Chairman Paul Clark said the death shocked and saddened the entire workforce and leadership team and the organisation had done all it could to prevent any similar tragedy. “We have gone further than comply with WorkSafe’s improvement notice, immediately initiating a program of improvements at all of our operational sites,� he said. “We have also shared our learnings with the water industry right across Australia.�

ern Australia. Detectives again thought they’d made a breakthrough in March last year when an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers suggested a new suspect. They appealed for public help to solve the puzzle, but Sen Const Taylor said interviews with the man and investigations found no evidence he was involved in the mystery. “It’s been the most exhaustive investigation. We’ve not left any stone unturned.� In August 2012 Sen Const Taylor started proceedings for a Coroner’s Court finding. Last week, State Coroner Judge Ian Gray said he was satisfied police had exhausted all av-
enues of inquiry and adjourned the matter to prepare his written finding.

“I’ve worked with the family pretty closely over the past 18 months,� Sen Const Taylor said. “They’re a great bunch of people. I wanted a better resolution for them. “It’s sad because it’s not complete closure for them.� He told the Coroner’s Court that police investigators had been unable to establish any evidence to suggest the deceased was still alive, but the investigation would remain open. “It’s the biggest mystery that I’ve been involved with,� he said. “I think it’s one that will stay with me for quite a while. It will always be in the back of my mind.�

Detectives are on the charity case I AM always inspired by the incredible lengths people go to in order to raise money for charity. A case in point is the wonderful effort by members of Dandenong Criminal Investigation Unit who are gearing up for the annual Murray to Moyne charity ride. On Sunday 23 February officers taking part in the ride played a charity cricket match against Woolworth’s employees at Lynbrook Cricket Club. The match, which was won by some fine batting and bowling on behalf of the police, raised just under $2000. Woolworths is the CIU team’s major sponsor. The Murray to Moyne ride takes

participants on a 520 kilometre twoday ride from Echuca to Port Fairy, starting on 5 April. This year’s ride will be the sixth for Detective Sergeant Dean Hayes. He will be joined by a team of up to 30 other officers and support crew. Over the past five years the Dandenong CIU team has raised more than $45,000 and hopes to add another
$10,000 to the tally this year, which will be donated to the children’s ward at Dandenong Hospital. To find out more go to www.murraytomoyne.com.au To donate contact the CIU on 9767 7483. Muck in for clean-up And while not everyone can cycle hundreds of kilometres for charity, there are lots of other opportunities to contribute to the local community. I’m thinking in particular of the annual Community Clean-Up Day at Hemmings Park in Dandenong which is scheduled for Saturday 15 March. The free community event focuses on preventing and removing graffiti. The City of Greater Dandenong, Victoria Police and Neighbourhood
Watch are hosting the event, which has been funded thanks to a $13,000 grant from the Victorian Government. Activities will include: graffiti removal activities and demonstrations; mobile animal farm and jumping castle; a visit from a CFA fire truck and Victoria Police vehicle; free sausage sizzle; Rugby activities. Free graffiti removal kits will also be handed out to encourage the community to continue the good work. “You can also hear from Victoria Police on community safety issues, learn about Neighbourhood Watch initiatives

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 5 March 1914 Dandenong Electric Light Shortly before eight o’clock on Thursday evening residents of the town were surprised to find the streets particularly well lighted. Upon enquiry being made it was found that everything being in readiness for the installation of the electric light, their contract for which commenced Ints., it was decided to give a trial, and it is gratifying to all concerned to find such an excellent result. Everyone seemed pleased with the brilliancy of the street lights, and the fact that the town is at last to be well lighted. 50 years ago 4 March 1964 And Bert didn’t bat an eyelid Dandenong Railway Station muffled in darkness, beckoned to Bert as a haven of peace one night last week. The last train had gone. Everyone had gone but the signalman and the station cat. Bert somehow, got himself onto No 2 platform.
He found it undulating as if disturbed by an earth tremor, but he kept going. A red and black sign “Not going” did not deter Bert. Two glowing eyes of the station cat, peering from under a seat, failed to daunt him. He stumbled into the carriage of a silent and darkened train. To Bert, it was immaterial whether the train went somewhere or stayed where it was. He flopped onto a carriage seat to seek repose and oblivion, but around 1.30am a couple of police torches sliced the darkness. They shot a pencil of light into one compartment after another until the torches shone on the sleeping Bert. Const. Laurie Fisher shook Bert and barked something in his ear. Bert responded with momentary stirring and slept on. Then Fisher sighted a convenient luggage truck on the platform. They lowered him onto the luggage truck and wheeled him from the platform. They steered him into the tourist compartment of the divisional van, still sleeping
peacefully. “We simply couldn’t wake him” Const. Fisher told the Dandenong Court next morning. “He was very drunk”. He could not even speak”. Bert who was not in court, was promptly discharged. 20 years ago 7 March 1994 Teachers keep up protest at High School class sized Class sizes of 27-30 for Dandenong High Schools year 7 classes has brought the teachers out in protest for the second time in two weeks. Teachers say without the help of integration aides and the loss of teachers, class sizes are unmanageable and are potentially dangerous for staff and students. “The overcrowding manifests itself in behavioural problems in class”. The teachers have appealed to parents to contact their local MP and the school branch of the Victorian Secondary Teacher’s Association to voice their concern over the conditions of the school. Teachers said they were holding
the protest at lunch times and after school so students were not further disadvantaged. 5 years ago 2 March 2009 Market gears up for vibrant future The City of Dandenong, like many others, has gone through a variety of changes over the past decade: but there has been one constant, Dandenong Market. Opened in 1866, and with more than 200 stalls and 600 parking spaces, the Dandenong Market has provided the community with a vibrant and exciting location to do their weekly shopping and bargain hunting. Now, 143 years, the familiar sounds and noises emanating from the enthusiastic stall owners will change. The Dandenong Market is undergoing redevelopment to help push it into the next generation. While the host of upgrades and renovations will help shoppers and stall holders alike. The redevelopment will be great for stall holders. I expect it will give the market the revitalization it needs – and brings more shoppers back.

the coercive power of criminal law and treatment for people with drug issues.” Offenders undergo supervised urine drug-tests three times a week, under the premise that it’s hard to “cheat” if drug testing is that regular. Those battling alcohol are tested five days a week. They are expected to attend weekly clinical, drug counselling and case manager appointments, as well as regularly front Mr Parsons in court. They are given every chance to succeed - their every health need is met, including mental health, dental, acupuncture, massage and addiction treatment. They have organised adult literacy classes, as well as stable and safe accommodation - without which “they don’t have a prayer”, Mr Parsons said. A liaison officer at Centrelink helps to ensure the offenders have an income stream. He enthuses about the program, the intimacy of knowing each of the defendants well. “You’ve got to think of the message you want to send. You’ve got to be on your game. “Here I see 40 per cent of participants every week. I know them very well and know them in subtle ways. “They know how I’m going to respond to their behaviours. That makes them accountable.”

graduate through the two-year program’s three stages of stabilisation, consolidation and re-integration. They stop using, gain a job and are back with their kids. About half don’t graduate but get to the end of the treatment order. They may have relapsed, they may not be abstinent from drug use but they would be ‘using’ less, reoffending less and committing less serious offences. The remaining third have absconded, can’t cope with the conditions and are re-arrested. A KPMG review into the drug court is due for release in May. Mr Parsons knows the “data is positive”. He estimates the drug court keeps about 50 people out of jail each year at a cost of $1.5 million. To house those people in jail would cost $5 million. Victoria will soon open its second drug court based at Melbourne Children’s Court, meting out its drug treatment orders to addicted parents so they can reunite with their children. He says there’s scope to expand the program to Melbourne’s west, Geelong and Ballarat. Mr Parsons describes the twoyear orders as a “real-time jail sentence that the defendant can serve in the community as long as they comply with a highly-supervised, highly-structured drug treatment program”. “It’s an exquisite combination of

gram. Last Monday, there were a few slip-ups. A husband and wife had tested positive for ice, coinciding with a family bereavement. Mr Parsons consoles the wife but urges both to “get back on track”. Another young man appearing in the court had relapsed using ice several times in a recent three-week period and was on the verge of being sent to jail for two weeks. He gained some credits for taking part in the first week of a Matrix cognitive therapy program for small groups and performing a day’s community work. “You’ve got to meet us halfway... and then we can relax those rules. Good luck with the Matrix program and your commitments,” Mr Parsons told him. “He’s done the work. He’s earned the right to stay in the community,” Mr Parsons later said. “I’ve told him if he hits 15 days in jail, I’ll put him in. “At the heart of this order is accountability. I can’t bend the rules. It goes against the efficacy of the program. “It’s the corrective power as well as the medical treatment that makes it successful.” The drug-court model in Dandenong is a success story proven by research, used in 13 countries and several Australian states. In Dandenong, about 10-15 per cent of participants are “heroically successful”. They are the ones who

Dandenong Drug Court magistrate Tony Parsons. 115752
524731-CB15-11
IT’S strange to see a magistrate lead a courtroom in a warm round of applause for a convicted criminal. Stranger still for the judge to walk around from behind the bench, take off his glasses, shake the offender’s hand, hand over a certificate and a gift and say: “My heartiest congratulations.” At Dandenong Drug Court last Monday, magistrate Tony Parsons demonstrated the kind side of a carrot-and-stick system of getting about 60 drug-addicted criminals in Melbourne’s south-east on the straight-and-narrow. They have been diverted from jail sentences to serve time in the community under an intensive treatment regime - with the “coercive power of a (jail) sentence hanging over your head” as Mr Parsons puts it. The defendant had been ‘promoted’ as a reward for “exceptional progress” including full-time work and consistently clean drug tests over the previous 15 months of his drug treatment order. There has been just one “hiccup” over Christmas. As punishment, Mr Parsons ordered the man to do some homework. “I really value what I’m reading in your homework,” Mr Parsons said. “You’re nailing all the things I want to hear from you. It’s really good stuff.” The defendant returned the compliments. “Thank you. (The program’s) changed my life around and I’m doing the stuff I want to do.” Joining the applause in the courtroom was the drug court ‘team’ - a police officer, a case manager and a clinician. A second defendant, who joined in the applause from the gallery, later told Mr Parsons: “He’s a good kid. We were in jail together.” For each achievement - even if among a string of failed drug tests offenders earn praise and sometimes lucky dip prizes such as movie tickets or supermarket vouchers. “The lucky dip is very playful. You can see people smile for the first time in the courtroom,” Mr Parsons says. “If you have got a jail history 10 years long, been called a loser all your life by the prison system, the corrections system and bullied by the kids at school - to have someone like a magistrate applaud you can be very powerful, very moving. “If you did the right thing, you get a pat on the head. If you did the wrong thing, you’re pulled into line.” Any slip up - for failed drug tests and missed appointments - leads to a reprimand, homework or a day’s jail or a day’s community work. Once an offender reaches a tally of 15 days jail and six days community work, they are sent to prison for two weeks. If a person has “seriously reoffended”, they are kicked off the pro-
A NEW unit beside an existing home would be an overdevelopment of a Keysborough block. This was the decision from City of Greater Dandenong councillors on Monday night regarding a proposal for 3 Gilbert Court. Councillor Roz Blades moved an alternative motion to refuse the permit after a council officers’ report recommended it be approved. She said the block was too small for the second dwelling proposed and it would cause “unreasonable overshadowing” to neighbouring properties.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT…
Space goes to waste
What’s the wheelie deal?
RE: Old cop shop, court burn in arson spree. WHY are we leaving these valuable buildings uninhabited? Organisations are crying out for space to see clients or for emergency housing. We allow these facilities to become derelict and an opportunity for scoundrels to offend by causing a public nuisance and setting them on fire. There should be a public uproar about vacant school buildings and public office spaces and they should be reassigned to once again serve the community.We definitely don’t need these vacant land spaces to become more apartments or shops. It is shameful the waste in our community of what was once solid and reusable communityowned assets. Cybil, via web.
RE: New bin roll-out I HAVE no idea how we are going to save costs on a smaller bins. We have four living in that address, so the current size of the bins are just fine, but if we go down one size lower we will have excess rubbish left over. I would like to know whether our rates will go down instead of going up all the time if we change bins sizes? I wish Greater Dandenong council followed the example of the Geelong mayor type of running the council by being very flexible. Victor Pastor, via web.
COUNCILLORS Roz Blades and Peter Brown were quick to move and second a positive ageing strategy at last Monday’s City of Greater Dandenong council meeting. “It’s because we’re both positively ageing!” Cr Brown quipped. THERE was a kind offer of counsel for suspended jockey Danny Nikolic as he briskly walked from Dandenong Magistrates’ Court with a media throng in close pursuit. Nikolic, who’d just had dangerous driving charges dismissed, was in no mood to elaborate to reporters as a black sports car pulled up next to him. The young male driver called out for Nikolic to give him the scoop instead - “Tell me! Tell me!” he yelled. COUNCILLORS Matthew Kirwan and mayor Jim Memeti had a blast at the Dandenong Library’s 40th birthday celebrations on 22 February. “I think me and Cr Kirwan had more fun than the kids!” the mayor said at last week’s council meeting. Cr Kirwan said: “I can certainly recommend the mayor to co-ordinate any children’s
LENSCAPE
parties. He was fantastic at it.” REST assured there’ll be coffee, tea and bickies for the gallery at council meetings in the new municipal building. Councillor Matthew Kirwan questioned the plans at last week’s council meeting. “Oh, in the new building it’s going to be caviar...” Cr Brown said. WHO would like to hire a bike to pedal around central Dandenong? Councillor Matthew Kirwan suggested a bike scheme similar to that in the Melbourne CBD to encourage cycling - an aim of the Revitalising Central Dandenong project. The council will look at the feasibility. What do you think? Email journal@starnewsgroup. com.au. HOW much to do you know about Greater Dandenong’s founders? Councillor Matthew Kirwan wants to see interpretive signage around the municipality on streets named after significant people. What do you think? Email journal@ starnewsgroup.com.au.

POLICE have laid drug trafficking and possession charges following raids in Dandenong North and Keysborough. Greater Dandenong CIU Acting Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said the Dandenong Tasking Unit executed a search warrant at a home in Barbara Avenue, Dandenong North, on 17 February. They arrested a 28-yearold man living at the residence. He pleaded guilty to trafficking methamphet-
amine and possessing prescription drugs without a prescription, cannabis and proceeds of crime. The man received a 12-month community corrections order. Acting Det Sgt Kirton said the unit on 20 February executed a warrant at a home in Grevillea Street, Keysborough, and found a loaded sawn-off rifle, about 11 grams of heroin, almost $20,000 in cash, ammunition and 1.7g of methamphetamine.
Police charged a 32-yearold woman from the address with possessing methamphetamine. She was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 8 April. A man, 31, who also lived at the address, was remanded in custody in relation to trafficking and possessing heroin, firearms offences and proceeds of crime offences.

Eye out for safer streets By CASEY NEILL ASSAULTS are on the rise in Greater Dandenong, but police assure residents they’re working hard to make the streets safer. Victoria Police last week released its latest crime statistics, comparing 1 January to 31 December last year with the previous 12 months. They showed a 6.9 per cent rise in overall crime in the Greater Dandenong police service area (PSA), compared to a 3.1 per cent increase across the state. There was also a 22.7 per cent jump in drug offences, compared to 14.4 per
cent state-wide. Detective Senior Sergeant Martin O’Brien said the rampant drug ice hadn’t triggered the rise, and the figures didn’t mean an increase in drug use. “It’s more concentrated efforts being made, really, than anything else,” he said. “Drug offences are offences that are generated by policing. “They’re generally a victimless crime, so they’re not reported to police.” Inspector Bruce Kitchen said nonfamily violence assaults were up 17.3 per cent, and police were working with residential care facilities and accom-
modation houses to make the community safer. “With the majority of these assaults, both the offender and victim are known to each other - these partnerships are about reducing this culture,” he said. “Our daily tasking and planned operations will continue to target these issues.” Insp Kitchen said protective services officers (PSOs) had now been deployed at all railway stations within Greater Dandenong. “A reduction in offences at these locations has continued with their presence,” he said. He said the Greater Dandenong
Family Violence Unit continued to have a significant impact on repeat offenders and had made vast improvements on referrals and reporting. “It is our view that these strategies will help break the cycle of violence and make the family home safer,” he said. Insp Kitchen said two squads of police recruits recently visited Dandenong Plaza through Operation Optic and engaged with members of the community. “These operations will continue and visits will be extended to visit Parkmore Shopping Centre in Keysborough,” he said. The crime statistics continued to identify decreases in robbery (18.9
per cent) and theft of motor vehicles (11.6 per cent). “But we have also seen a slight decrease in our residential burglaries from the last quarter’s statistics,” he said.Insp Kitchen encouraged all members of the Greater Dandenong community to be vigilant. “If you see a suspicious person, suspicious vehicle or groups of youths causing trouble, contact your local police,” he said. “If urgent police attendance is required contact police on triple zero immediately. “You are our eyes and ears and we need your help to make the City of Greater Dandenong a safer place.”
Fatal train smash driver to stand trial By CASEY NEILL A NARRE Warren truck driver has been ordered to stand trial in the Supreme Court over a fatal train crash in Dandenong South. Melville John Bollen, aged in his 70s, last week pleaded not guilty to 44 charges in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court over the November 2012 collision, including culpable driving causing death. Police allege he drove a prime mover with trailer through lowered boom gates as he travelled west on Abbotts Road, and collided with
a train shortly after 11.40am on Saturday 3 November. The train derailed, injuring 14 people and killing Cranbourne West passenger David Cron, 43. The court last week heard Mr Bollen had worked nine days in a row without a rest before the crash and that his memories of the incident were “a bit hazy”. Another truck driver gave evidence that he was at the crossing and saw Mr Bollen driving toward the gates with his head bowed. A crash at the same level crossing five years earlier claimed a 53-year-old Gar-
field woman’s life. The collision prompted calls from trackSAFE, the state opposition and the City of Greater Dandenong to remove level crossings across the state. The Committee for Dandenong has since been pushing for a toll road to bypass the Abbotts Road level crossing to ease railway crossing congestion. A pay-for-use road between the two sections of Remington Drive, to link directly with Pound Road and the freeway, would sidestep the need for intense government funding and could fasttrack the project.

LEARNER drivers in Greater Dandenong need a helping hand to get behind the wheel. The L2P learner driver mentor program helps young people without access to a car or licensed driver. It pairs them with supervising drivers to clock up the 120 hours of practice they need to apply for a probationary licence. L2P has just received a second car, from Booran Holden, but needs more mentors to cut its 100-learner waiting list. Program co-ordinator Yohana Jury said there were about 85 boys on the waiting list and 25 girls. “And we’re struggling to find female mentors. We match female with female and male with male,” she said. Mentors receive training from VicRoads and are only asked to volunteer one hour each week for a year. “But they can still take holidays,” Ms Jury said. Leaners receive professional driving lessons before they’re matched with a mentor. Peter Sutton has been a mentor for 14 months. “I’m retired so it provides a lot of challenge in meeting people and organisation,” he said. “And I’ve realised I’m not a bad guy as a mentor driving instructor. “I don’t get upset at buses and fire engines and whatever else comes up.” Mr Sutton said there was more to the lessons than just driving. “I’ve learnt a lot about the Hazara community, which coming from a country background

“If you don’t think they’re right, send them back,” he said. “You’re not just thrust out on the road and then left with them.” Supervising drivers must be aged over 25, hold a full Victorian driver’s licence, have a good driving record and pass police and working with children checks. Call Ms Jury on 9793 2155 to get involved.

Dollar donations By CASEY NEILL A DOLLAR makes a difference. That’s the slogan councillor Roz Blades is touting to give Springvale Benevolent Society a hand. “During their grocery shop every week, I want people to buy something for a dollar,” she said. “I want them to save up, get a bag-full together then take it to the Benevolent Society. “For that $1 a week you’re going to be making a real difference.” Cr Blades said the volunteer service was receiving 20 to 30 new clients in need every month. “I’ve had my busiest month so far,” she said. “I think some tough times are on the way. “People will think ‘I’ve got no money to put in’. “But a dollar ... this is quite do-able.” And Cr Blades practises what she preaches. For years she’s picked up tinned and packaged items during each grocery shop. The group has a small food bank to support individuals and families who’d otherwise go hungry. The Benevolent Society also distributes basic household items like cutlery and crockery. One woman who had nothing to her name and had been living in a garage for a year turned to Cr Blades for help.

Lifts must rise to challenge TROUBLED lifts at Springvale’s Number 8 car park now have tough new performance standards to meet. They’ll receive a major refurbishment over coming weeks and on Monday night councillor Sean O’Reilly set minimum operating levels. There are to be no more than 12 controllable, unplanned lift outages per year at the Bal-
Monday, 3 March, 2014 Page 9
moral Avenue site, and it must function a minimum 99 per cent of the time between 9am and 6pm each day. “We now have a clearly-defined performance standard to send out to our community,” Cr O’Reilly said. His notice of motion also initiated a costing to replace the lifts should repairs fail and required monthly performance updates.
Cr O’Reilly said the car park was designed to alleviate on-street car parking and traffic problems in central Springvale. He said the car park’s top two or three levels were constantly empty because the lifts were regularly out of service. “This is saying to shoppers ‘we think this issue is important’,” he said.

Gun in road rage By CASEY NEILL POLICE are seeking witnesses to two armed road rage clashes in Dandenong, one involving a silver handgun. Greater Dandenong CIU Acting Detective Sergeant Luke Kirton said a Dandenong man, 36, was driving north on Frankston Dandenong Road about 10.30pm on 18 February. A dark-coloured older model Holden station wagon with dark tinted windows was following him and then pulled alongside him near the Dandenong Bypass. The victim told police the driver
ing north in the right lane behind a black, early model Holden Commodore station wagon travelling at low speed. The victim told police the car in front braked suddenly and he signalled for its driver to move left so he could overtake. When they didn’t he moved into the left lane to go around, and as he pulled up alongside the car the driver held up a baseball bat and signalled for him to pull over. The victim moved into the right lane to turn into Glasscocks Road and the offender pulled up alongside, pointed a silver handgun at
shone a torch in his eyes while passengers screamed abuse at him. When both cars stopped at the next traffic lights, they threw a glass bottle that smashed his rear window and damaged the rear passengerside quarter panel. The driver then pulled his car in front of the victim’s and a passenger got out with a baseball bat. Act Det Sgt Kirton said the victim fled through the red light with the attackers in pursuit, lost them in James Street, and went to police. Also on Frankston-Dandenong Road, about 4.20pm on 21 February, a Mornington man was driv-

him then continued straight ahead with the handgun out the window for about 50 metres. The victim described the driver as aged in his 20s or 30s, Caucasian and unshaven with a slim face and tattoos covering both forearms. He was wearing a grey hoodie with the hood up. There was a woman in the front passenger seat with short dark hair, described as thin and Caucasian. Act Det Sgt Kirton said there was nothing to suggest the two incidents were linked, and appealed for witnesses to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Refugees are out to see the sights DANDENONG refugees have taken some time out to practise their English skills and learn more about their new home. Men from the CatholicCare Refugee and Settlement Program took their first excursion, to Sorrento, following a successful trip to Phillip Island for women in the program in December. CatholicCare eastern area community programs manager Kathleen West said the day was so successful it would become an annual event. “On the return trip to Dandenong the men talked about how much they enjoyed the beautiful weather and scenery and of how beneficial it was to have a relaxing day with friends, practise their English language skills, and learn a little more
about Victoria,” she said. “The excursion to Sorrento also allowed them some time out from the usual stress in their daily lives.” The group went to Sorrento Historical Park - the site of the first European settlement in Victoria in 1803 - prepared a typical Aussie barbecue, took a walk through gardens and along cliff tops, strolled on the pier and swam at the beach. “One of the men commented that Sorrento was different to other beaches he had seen, as looking across the sea you can see mountains in the distance,” Ms West said. “They also marvelled at the many small boats moored in the bay.”

Next level for new library By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS GREATER Dandenong’s new library will not be just the domain of bookworms. A media tour of its new digs last week revealed “teen media” booths for gamers, a luminous lime “genius bar” staffed by an IT expert, a music-listening corner with headset ports, and lots of wide comfy space for cyber and paper browsing. There will be free public Wi-Fi. And yes, visitors will be able to eat cake and sip coffee inside. It’s the quintessence of a ‘Generation Next’ library - which, with a vast civic plaza of alfresco dining, shops and a giant video screen, is expected to attract more people into Dandenong. The $65 million complex, which is running under budget, has a 500-seat council chamber that can be converted into a community function room. There are also council offices and meeting spaces, many of which have supreme views of the city. The 13,000 square-metre set-up is set to open on 17 March and the council intends it to last 100 years. Like the building’s outside, there are bright splashes of burgundy, mustard yellow and lime colour within, replete with deep dark timbers and tall windows to let in natural light. There is lots of deep red in the library, yellow in the council chambers and some green in the staff kitchenettes. There are opportunities for private enterprise - eight café/retail spaces skirting the building and upper-deck office space with panoramic views of Lonsdale Street open for private lease. The building achieved a five-star green-star sustainability rating. It is electricity-neutral - fully offsetting its grid energy intake with power generated by a convection plant at Settlers Square.
Bruce Rendell, project manager Darren Rogers and an outlook onto Halpin Way. 114550 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS
A view of the under-construction plaza. 114550 The council has also introduced a green travel plan to encourage council staff in the building to travel anyhow but by car. Mr Rendell said the council had not yet decided how many of the building’s 40 on-site car parks will be provided to the public. A state-of-the-art disability toilet features a remote-controlled gantry hoist, adult change-table, shower and an assisted toilet with grab handles that allows carers to support people with severe disabilities. To surmount the site’s steep aspect, a public lift from Lonsdale Street to the
library’s ground level will be accessible 24-7. The library is double the size of the cramped Stuart Street premises, yet employs the same number of librarians. It is fitted with self-checkouts throughout its multi-storey site and a robotic book sorter that miraculously organises the library’s collections in front of the public. This building, lightly dubbed the south east’s Federation Square, still lacks a name. Whatever it’s called, get excited! This is a hub for the ages.

Charge dropped By CAMERON LUCADOU-WELLS SUSPENDED jockey Daniel Nikolic has had dangerous driving charges against him dismissed after police failed to prove he was behind the wheel during a series of incidents in Narre Warren North. Nikolic, 39, who fronted Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Monday, told the court he laid down on pillows in the back seat of his own fourwheel-drive while his uncle - since deceased drove him to a night race meet at Cranbourne on 9 March 2012. Magistrate William White said he “cannot be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt from the evidence presented this morning that the accused was the driver when these incidents occurred,” though noting “one may or may not have suspicions”. Mr White was not persuaded by police informant Acting Sergeant David Hewatt’s direct identification of the driver as Nikolic - much younger than the late uncle who was in his mid-50s at the time. Acting Sergeant Hewatt said he pulled up beside the vehicle and saw the driver’s face through the vehicle’s tinted passenger window.
Lipomassage picks up where diet and excersise leave off.
Acting Sergeant Hewatt, who was in his private car at the time, told the court he identified himself as a police officer to the driver. The driver nodded in acknowledgment and drove away, the informant said. Acting Sergeant Hewatt saw the vehicle driving in the emergency lane while the Monash Freeway was in gridlock that Friday, dodging around stopped traffic at the Narre Warren North Road exit ramp and running a red light. It was also alleged the vehicle failed to stop after grazing another vehicle’s side mirror at the exit ramp, and drove straight ahead from right turning lanes at the Narre Warren North RoadPrinces Highway intersection. Nikolic conceded he’d phoned stewards to tell them he was running late for his first ride but was unaware of any swerving or collisions involving the vehicle. He said a lot of jockeys rested in backseats – not restrained by a seatbelt – on the way to race meets. Mr White awarded more than $4000 costs against the police.

THIEVES wore stolen uniforms and posed as employees to charge more than $10,000 in tools to a business’ hardware store account. Greater Dandenong CIU detectives have been told that the two men attended a hardware store on Greens Road, Dandenong, four times in January. They pretended to be from a company that had a credit account with the store, took tools and hardware and told staff to put the items on the account. Police were notified when the company received its monthly invoice. They have released images of a man they believe could assist with their investigations. Detectives urged anyone who recognises the man or has any information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au. Police want to speak with this man.

Spiritual journey By CASEY NEILL GEORGE Leminded Ladu had never even heard the term ‘Anglican Church’ when he arrived in Australia as a Sudanese refugee 10 years ago. On 1 February he was ordained an Anglican deacon. Deacon Leminded Ladu, 49, will deliver Arabic-language worship services at St James Anglican Church in Dandenong from 4.30pm to 6pm every Sunday, as well as other programs and services. The services are not just for people from Sudan, but anyone who speaks Arabic. “People can understand English and know what is going on,” Deacon Leminded Ladu said. “But if there is any preaching, people can feel it more in Arabic than they can feel it in English. “In this area there’s a lot of people who can speak in Arabic.” When Deacon Leminded Ladu arrived in Australia and made a home in Springvale South in 2004, he started looking for an Episcopal Church, as the Anglican Church is known in many countries overseas. “I didn’t get it,” he said. But he soon met up with Father Stephen in Dandenong, who he knew from his homeland, who explained the situation and took him to St James. “I started regularly coming here with my family,” he said. Soon he was working with the Sudanese community alongside Vicar Barbara Darling, now a bishop, using the theological

Deacon Leminded Ladu studied English at TAFE then completed his theological studies, despite a setback when his sister Rhoda passed away in Sudan in 2010. “He’s a very caring sort of pastor with the people that are in his flock,” Vicar Jeffrey Parker said. “He even flew up to Sydney a couple of weeks ago because somebody’s son was in trouble. “He really does care about these people.”
Deacon Leminded Ladu lives in Lynbrook with his wife, Farus, and five children, Minas, Miriya, Lazaru, Manawa and Elizabeth. He was a teacher at secondary school and a lecturer at university, and has worked as a teacher’s aide at Emerson School in Dandenong since 2007. He’s determined to continue his journey toward becoming a priest. St James Anglican Church is in Langhorne Street, Dandenong, and can be contacted on 9793 3898.

COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL DANDENONG SOUTH Located in the industrial precinct of Dandenong South, this 2050 square metre site is ideally suited for both owner occupiers and developers. Nichols Crowder agent Matt Nichols said the property is in the hands of the mortgagee and is well positioned and affordably priced to attract interest from owner occupiers and developers. “Most of the recent land sales have been sold to owner occupiers who are taking advantage of the low interest rates, creating their ideal business premises and leasing the building back to their own investment company,” Mr Nichols said. “It allows cheaper stamp duty costs, impressive tax advantages (depreciation) and an opportunity for the business to grow and all with the best tenant in the world.” The property is zoned industrial two.

Lentigo maligna of the cheek.
The distinctive dermoscopic appearance of lentigo maligna allows earlier diagnosis.
Slow growth is a danger LENTIGO maligna literally means ‘malignant freckle’. ‘Hutchisons melanotic freckle’ is now an obsolete term for the same condition. It is a thin slow growing melanoma of chronically sun exposed skin in older people which is commonly found on the face. They are typically tan to dark brown in colour and initially are difficult to tell apart from ordinary sun induced freckles. They grow slowly over several years, so slowly, in fact, that people
often tend to overlook them. However, eventually they will become invasive and are then as dangerous as any other melanoma. Treatment is complete surgical excision with adequate margins – at least 5mm. Obviously the smaller and earlier lentigo malignas are detected the less disfiguring the treatment. The Sun Patrol Skin Cancer Clinic is at 48 Van Der Haar Avenue, Berwick. For more information, visit www.sunpatrolscc.com.au or call 9769 3358.

Batting breaks down barriers By CASEY NEILL POLICE officers and indigenous community members faced off in a cricket match at Dandenong Showgrounds on Sunday. Local indigenous worker David Dryden initiated the event in 2009, with help from Springvale Senior Sergeant Alan Dew. “We just wanted to have a fun day while breaking down barriers between uniformed members and the Aboriginal community,” Mr Dryden said. The winner receives a trophy in memory of Darren Knowles, a well-known local aborigine who died unexpectedly in 2008. “It was a great way to honour him for his contribution to the community,” Mr Dryden said. “He was a brother, cousin, father of three, and someone everyone could rely on and could talk to.”
Batting is David Dryden (Aboriginal Community), behind from left, Ervine Penman (Queenslands ‘Murray’ Aboriginal Community), Senior Sergeant Alan Dew (Springvale Police) and Shannon (15-years-old, whose father is in the police force). 115791 Prior to the 2 March event, Sen Sgt Dew was expecting a big turnout. “We just play cricket, we get to know each
other in a relaxed environment and have a sausage and a can of Coke,” he said. “I think we’ve won the
last two times we’ve played. We’re going for a three-peat. “But it’s not the winning, it’s the taking part.”

Booze sales: no more bar SELL liquor on Christmas Day and Good Friday, despite concerns about the impact on the community. City of Greater Dandenong councillors last Monday passed the application from the 78 Hemmings Street store, five votes to four. It can now open 9am to 8pm on the public holidays, in addition to noon to 11pm on Anzac Day, 10am to 11pm Sundays and 9am to 11pm every other day. Councillor John Kelly opposed the permit.
Man’s credit card swipe
“Last time I checked we were still a Christian country. I think there are enough days in the year to serve alcohol,” he said. Cr Kelly also raised concerns about alcohol-fuelled violence. “I think it’s time this council put its hand up and showed some strength,” he said. Cr Roz Blades agreed, and said the drug of choice at local addiction support services “month after month, is alcohol”.
POLICE are searching for a man who used a stolen credit card at eight stores in Casey and Greater Dandenong this month. They’re asking for help to identify the thief, who took the card from Clarinda on 6 February, and made purchases in Hampton Park, Dandenong, Doveton and Cranbourne that afternoon.
He was wearing work clothing and was described as 25 to 30 years old and about 183 centimetres tall, with a medium build and olive complexion. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information. Right: Police are searching for this man.
SENIORS
Retire in Style Blue Hills Residences, Cranbourne East currently has a great selection of resale units available.
Older Australians are moving in step with calls to tighten spending.
Call for health changes SENIORS have pushed the economic case for mature age workers - backed a $6 fee for GP visits - and called to delay the Coalition’s paid parental leave scheme in their federal budget submission. “Older Australians are moving in step with calls to tighten spending,” National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said. “We’ve pared back requests, focused on productivity and identified a handful of savings across the spectrum. “Health is clearly an area ripe for efficiencies. “Projected to account for two-thirds of increased government spending by 2050, it’s heavy with demand and plagued by duplication. “A safety-net-backed $6 fee for GP visits is something consumers can handle, and is preferable to a blanket increase in the Medicare levy, which is already rising from 1.5 to 2 per
cent in July to fund the NDIS. The submission also calls on the government to delay its paid parental leave scheme. “After six years of budget deficits, now is not the time to introduce a generous parental leave scheme,” Mr O’Neill said. “To do so, would send an inconsistent message to groups willing to pare back.” Under the heading ‘productivity’, the submission calls for the pre-emptive reskilling of older workers in declining industries and support for mature age entrepreneurship. “Without reskilling, long term unemployment rates show older workers in collapsed industries will struggle to get back into the workforce,” Mr O’Neill said. “We’re calling on government to get on the front foot and provide practical re-training opportunities long before factory closures.” Research shows we lose $16
billion a year by not employing older people who want to work, and just a 5 per cent increase in over 55s workforce participation would add almost $50 billion to the economy. The submission identifies further efficiencies in national drug purchasing arrangements, health duplications, and marriage counselling vouchers. It opposes raising the pension and preservation ages without job market improvements, increasing the Medicare Levy, including the family home in the age pension assets test, and using the family home via a reverse mortgage to pay for aged care. In 2013, 86 per cent of National Seniors members declared “tightened spending” as “somewhat” or “very” important to them. A total of 81.1 per cent of members said the economy and health, 78.8 per cent, were their top two priorities.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST
Kiwis call for rebuild help By CASEY NEILL CHRISTCHURCH is rising from the rubble, three years after a 6.3 magnitude earthquake flattened the New Zealand city. And businesses in Melbourne’s south east can help. More than 200 people attended an information session at Sandown Racecourse last Tuesday, 25 February, to learn about opportunities to join the rebuild. South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) ran the two-hour event with City of Greater Dandenong, Industry Capacity Network (ICN) and Department of State Development, Business and Innovation (DSDBI). SEMMA executive officer Adrian Boden said the $40 billion project was a huge opportunity on the region’s doorstep. “Take Dandenong today. Flatten it,” he said. “Could you play a part in rebuilding it?
Looking south down Christchurch’s devastated Manchester Street. Picture: ROSS BECKER “If you think a little bit laterally, there might be some business.” Mr Boden said New Zealand had the capability to finish the project on its own, but not the capacity. He said SEMMA could help to coordinate advice and partnerships for interested businesses. “You’re a few hours away, plus you
speak the same language,” he said. “You’re as close to New Zealand as you are to Darwin.” Manufacturing Minister David Hodgett said there were opportunities for small businesses as well as “big players” through partnerships. “Let’s not forget that this has come about as the result of a devastating
earthquake,” he said. “But now we’re seeing the rebuild start. They’re turning to you. “New Zealand cannot do it alone.” Andy Balmain from the independent Industry Capacity Network (ICN) recently returned to Melbourne from the devastated city. “The people of Christchurch are still hurting quite significantly,” he said. ICN identifies opportunities for businesses and Mr Balmain urged any that were interested in helping in Christchurch to submit their details and examples of previous projects. “We are kind of a matchmaking service for industry,” he said. He said the rebuild was progressing, but New Zealand industry couldn’t keep up. “We are competitors on the sporting field but there’s a tradition of the nations working together,” he said. “It’s about identifying the gaps.” Mr Balmain said some of these included land surveying, project management, asbestos removal, shop-fitting and traffic management.
He said there were residential and commercial projects, and construction demand was expected to peak next year. There are opportunities in New Zealand beyond Christchurch, too, with the rebuild drawing resources from other regions. Darren Elphinstone, director of Tasmanian company Elphinstone Enterprises, has been working in Christchurch for about a year. “That’s where you need to be if you want to grow and develop your business right now,” he said. He said businesses needed to build relationships with parochial Christchurch counterparts, not just try to sell them something - make friends, have a beer, “and the business will flow”. “They class themselves as a small country town,” he said. Mr Elphinstone said there were logistical difficulties to contend with on the ground in Christchurch, as well as financial challenges around returning profits to Australia from New Zealand. “But you’ve got guaranteed 10 years’ work,” he said.
Students play to their strengths DANDENONG High School students got a true taste of the workforce last week. National Australia Bank (NAB) joined with local businesses to help 24 senior students start planning for life after school through work experience program Work Inspiration. From 25 to 28 February they received career insights and mentoring from employees from NAB, City of Greater Dandenong, Maroondah Council and Wastech Engineering. The program included a behind-the-
scenes looks at businesses and exercises to help students discover more about themselves, highlighting their strengths and interests and matching them to potential future roles. Dandenong High School principal Susan Ogden said the program not only gave her students an insight into the types of job roles available in the local area, but provided a taste of what they could expect in the workplace. “The Work Inspiration program gives our students a real opportunity to gain an enhanced understanding of the skills
required in a workplace situation,” she said. NAB worked with the Foundation for Young Australians and The Smith Family to create Work Inspiration. NAB corporate responsibility general manager Paula Benson said the program allowed the students to think more broadly about what opportunities awaited them once school was over. “Young people need to be inspired by the workplace and gain a clearer picture of work directly from employers and employees,” she said.

Greens are go for charity BUSINESSES in Melbourne’s south east this week raised just over $45,000 for the region’s most vulnerable. South East Business Networks (SEBN) held its fifth Take a Swing for Charity at Sandhurst Golf Club in Skye on 24 February. The day included an ambrose golf event, a dinner and auction, and funds raised will help Hanover Welfare Services provide a playground and laundry facilities, a dental brokerage fund for children, and childcare for mums returning to work. The service for the homeless will celebrate its 50th birthday this year and runs Bob’s Place in Dandenong, which helps more than 1000 people each year. SEBN manager Sandra George said the final fundraising tally was still to be calculated, but was more than $40,000. Take a Swing for Charity has now raised more than $200,000 for local charities and services since its inception.

Injured Hawk takes flight By JARROD POTTER SENIOR football has finally cut Hawthorn’s Alex Woodward a little slack. The last two years have been an immense challenge for the 20-yearold midfielder from Noble Park, having suffered back-to-back anterior cruciate ligament injuries in 2012 and 2013 on the same knee. “Tough initiation I’d say coming into an AFL system,” Woodward said. “As a young player all you want to do is make an impact and a good impression on the group and I thought my first pre-season was good. “Did everything I was told to do and was fortunate enough to get a NAB Cup game in - albeit five minutes of it. “Unfortunately did my ACL in that game and 10 months into that rehab I had a training mishap and I ruptured it again.” His stint on the sidelines rehabbing his knee left him without a match under his belt since the 2011 TAC Cup grand final where he captained the Sandringham Dragons to a premiership over the Oakleigh Charges 17.11 (113) to 16.9 (105).
There is light at the end of the tunnel though. Woodward bonded in the recovery group with Hawthorn’s other injured stars at the time - like Max Bailey, Brendan Whitecross and Matt Suckling - and last week played his first full match since 2011, earning 17 possessions in Hawthorn’s 131-point drubbing of the Brisbane Lions. “It was a good pre-season,” Woodward said. “This pre-season was a bit different for me - it was a slow build up for me going into training and probably what I would’ve preferred which was good… and the club looked after me - once I was confident in my movements around the ground, and I really built up into that. “It’s been a while since I’ve done my football pre-game routine - it was more excitement than nerves. “My first few touches were a bit fumbled but I got better as the game went on - I learned a lot from that game and had a bit more time than I thought, but I was happy to get through it.” Bailey’s influence on Woodward has been especially significant, with
the premiership ruckman passing on number 39 to the young midfielder and Woodward has appreciated everything the club and its staff and players have done to accommodate him through his turbulent times. “The easy option would’ve been to let go of me, but they (Hawthorn) stuck with me,” Woodward said. “You find good support around Hawthorn when it comes to knees I’ve built a really strong relationship with Max Bailey over the last couple of years. “He’s done three knees, so the support he gave me was unreal through my two years in rehab. “He offered the jumper to me at the end of last year when he was going to retire and I couldn’t jump in it quicker and it was great.” Woodward and his beloved Hawks will face Melbourne in Former Noble Park footballer Alex Woodward has shrugged off his prior knee an AFL practice match at Casey injuries and is ready for a serious tilt in Hawthorn’s 2014 AFL season. 115924 Fields on Saturday from 1pm.

Lauren’s career up in the air By JARROD POTTER
Dandenong City players (from left) Ines, Emilia, Niamh, Jamie, Olivia and Lauren were eager to congratulate their coach Gülcan Koca (at back) on her W-League Picture: JARROD POTTER Championship. 115854
Victory all part of Koca’s game By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG City junior girls’ coach Gülcan Koca certainly had her players’ attention this week as she showed off a highly coveted Australian soccer prize. Koca, 23, from Cheltenham, was part of the Melbourne Victory’s W-League winning side - edging out an Australian Matildas-laden Brisbane Roar 2-0 last Sunday in the final at South Melbourne’s Lakeside Stadium. The Turkish international player - having represented her chosen country in 14 internationals since 2010 - could not believe it when the Victory earned the championship. “It hasn’t really kicked in yet as last year just making the finals was absolutely insane, so the hype of it was so much greater this year,” Koca said. “We weren’t happy with making the final this year - we wanted to rectify last year’s loss to Sydney. “This year it wasn’t enough (just to make the grand final) - we expected to be in the finals from the start of the season and couldn’t settle for anything less… so it wasn’t much
of a surprise. Dandenong City’s sub-junior technical director Ljuban (Lewis) Palinic has been a great mentor for Koca with her coaching and in part inspired her to coach at the club. “He (Palinic) has done an amazing job with the club so far and his passion for the junior development,” Koca said. “If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be as passionate about coaching juniors and young female football. Koca wants to get the future female football stars believing their soccer journeys can lead them to the same level as success as she’s achieved and even beyond with a little bit of passion and determination. “Getting the girls to believe in themselves and pursue football is a big aim for me,” Koca said. Dandenong City has spots available for young female players in its under-10 and under-12 teams that will be coached by WLeague championship player Gülcan Koca. For more information on the club contact admin@dandenongcityfc.com
DANDENONG Rangers’ rising star centre Lauren Scherf has possibly the most hectic basketball schedule in Australia, but loves her time representing team, state and country. Scherf, 17, tore up the court at the Australian Junior Basketball Championships in Perth last week, guiding Victoria to the championship with an 8764 win against New South Wales on the back of 33 points and a massive 16 rebounds in the grand final. Her success in the under-20 women’s division was justified by the tournament officials, awarding her the most valuable player (MVP) of the tournament on the back of her six-match tournament average of 20 points, 11.3 rebounds and two assists per game. “I wanted to win - as after my last two years coming third and coming fourth I didn’t want to lose again,” Scherf said. “The whole week was really good - it was really enjoyable being with all the girls and celebrating our win.” “I definitely enjoyed getting named MVP - that was a massive shock - I remember when my name got called out and when I was walking out there I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face and all my friends from the different states were cheering and clapping and I was so overwhelmed by everything and I just loved it.” Backing up immediately from last Saturday night’s success, Scherf boarded a midnight flight to get back to Melbourne in time to suit up for the Rangers in its semi-final against Bendigo Spirit in Bendigo on Sunday afternoon. “It was good - the nationals bit - I loved that - but getting on a 12am flight and getting back for the final was pretty stressful, but we got there,” Scherf said. “At the start I didn’t know what I was doing thought I’d just miss out on that final because Rachel Antoniadou also had to come back with me - but our state coach Jonathan Goodman is also the assistant coach for Bendigo, so he must’ve called up Mark Wright and asked if he wanted us to come back with him and he did. While the results didn’t favour Dandenong in Bendigo - downed by the Spirit 71-62 in the semifinal - Scherf has relished her first big season with
the group and has learned rapidly off the likes of Jenna O’Hea, Kayla Pedersen and Brigitte Ardossi. “I’ve enjoyed it quite a lot - being with the older girls and giving me the confidence and learning off them - as they have much more experience than me - has made my game much better and made me see different perspectives of the game I would never have thought of before,” Scherf said.
Basketball has kept Lauren Scherf busy throughout 2014 - flying throughout Australia and New Zealand to pursue her sporting ambitions. 113111 Picture: BASKETBALL AUSTRALIA Her basketball has also taken her to New Zealand late last year, representing Australia and winning gold in the FIBA Pacific Championships and earned a call-up to the Australian Opals squad and training camp held in January. College basketball remains an option for Scherf heading into this all-important final year of junior basketball, but she hasn’t decided on what colleges might be on her shortlist or if she will head over at all.

Former Ranger Steph Cumming proved pivotal as she negated Alice Kunek from making any shot to level the scores. Dandenong had not been in front since late in the first term, but Jenna O’Hea (27 points) took them back to level pegging with 1.12 minutes remaining in the match. The last rolls of the dice had Mitchell and Kayla Pedersen (2 points, 10 rebounds) miss with a shot clock violation before Kunek and Cumming clashed with Townsville emerging victorious and advancing to the last match. The crowd went wild as Pedersen was called for a foul reaching in on Batkovic - with the pre-eminent centre making one of her free throws to give Townsville the lead. Dandenong butchered its shot early as they shot 12/36 in the first half - leaving only Alice Kunek (15 points and 6 rebounds) and O’Hea with any reasonable numbers to
Rangers’ Jenna O’Hea couldn’t drag Dandenong to victory against the Fire despite a 27-point masterclass. 5570 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS their name early. Mark Wright went to his talls in the first term as Brigitte Ardossi (5 points, 6 rebounds) rattled off five first-half rebounds and importantly hassled Suzy Batkovic (13 points and 16 rebounds) and forced two early fouls on Townsville’s premier centre. Townsville looked a different lineup with Batkovic on the bench, a seven-minute spree from the end of the first through the second reaped
a 15-2 advantage to the Fire as Alex Wilson (7 points) and captain Rachel McCully (13 points) seized on the small-ball advantage. Jenna O’Hea fired towards a double-double following a first half spree of nine points, three assists and a pair of rebounds. Her second half started as strongly - taking nine points in the first five minutes of the premiership quarter.
O’Hea looked to drag her team mates back into the game - levelling the scores to start the second half as she sunk a long-range three-pointer to give Dandenong a boost. The tides turned as Leilani Mitchell (15 points, 4 assists) found her form at the right time - hitting Alison Downie (8 points) for an assist. Mitchell found her spirit at the right time - with the New York Liberty guard making the play-of-theday - stealing off an unassuming Suzy Batkovic with seven minutes left in the match, leading to the field goal and free throw to take the lead 59-58 early in the fourth term and sunk a huge three-pointer to make it 62-62 with 4.38 minutes left. Mitchell reeled off nine points in the fourth term and was pivotal in the Rangers last quarter offence. It leaves Dandenong eliminated from the WNBL finals race for the second year in a row at the second last hurdle. Former Dandenong Rangers Steph Cumming (15 points) and Rosie Fadljevic (two points) will advance to the grand final with the Fire against the Bendigo Spirit at Bendigo Basketball Stadium on Sunday from 3pm, with the match televised on ABC1.
Billy goes pink for the ladies By MICHAEL FLOYD
1118617-CB7-14
SANDOWN Park turned pink last night for its annual Ladies’ Night, raising almost $20,000 for the McGrath Foundation. In what has quickly become one of the biggest nights on the club’s calendar, a huge crowd enjoyed cocktails, live music, massages and tarot card readings amongst a night full of entertainment, co-hosted by Channel 7’s Hamish McLaughlin and TAB’s Jaimee Rogers. Geelong Cats’ star Jimmy Bartel was a special guest on the night as his wife Nadia Coppolino hosted a fashion parade featuring AFL footballers’ Jaryd Cachia, Arryn Sippos and Matt Arnot. On the track, the night’s feature event was the Judy Hayley Memorial, named after the respected Melbourne Cup winning trainer
and open to lady trainers only. It was brilliantly won by Billy Rocket in 29.74 seconds to give winning trainer Karen Leek one of the most emotional wins of her career. “Judy was a dear friend of mine and I think about her every day,” said Leek. For every winning greyhound wearing the pink vest, the Sandown Greyhound Racing Club contributed $5000 towards the McGrath Foundation. While Billy Rocket was the only winner from box 8, various fundraising efforts and assistance from sponsors and supporters helped boost the total raised for the night towards $20,000. “Ladies Night is one of the biggest nights of the year for the club,” said Sandown Greyhound Racing Club Chairman, Geoff Dawson.
Billy Rocket gets a well-deserved hug from trainer Karen Leek after winning the Judy Hayley Memorial. 115930 “There are almost 600 registered lady trainers in Victoria alone, including some of the best trainers in the business. Tonight recognises not only of the outstanding achievements Judy Hayley accomplished in her distinguished career, but the work of all women in our great sport. “We’re delighted to have been able to raise almost $20,000 for
the McGrath Foundation, and look forward to contributing further in April when Greyhound Racing Victoria launches its ‘Go The Pink Dog’ campaign.” Fittingly, on a night celebrating the contribution of women to the sport of greyhound racing, 10 of the night’s 12 races were won by lady trainers, headlined by a winning treble by Kelly Bravo.
Rory Ingram bid farewell to cricket this weekend as he took to the crease one last time for Lyndale. 115926 Picture: JARROD POTTER
Saturday dad at last By JARROD POTTER AFTER 28 years playing the game he loved, including 18 seasons in the Dandenong District Cricket Association, Lyndale captain Rory Ingram called it stumps on a successful career. Ingram, 42, who now lives in Doncaster, strode to the crease for his final innings on Saturday at Lyndale’s Barry Powell Reserve. Although results didn’t fall his way - out caught and bowled for 15 in his final stay at the crease before his beloved Lyndale (188) fell agonisingly short of victory against Mordialloc (199) - Ingram bows out of the game knowing he played well and will take away a lifetime of memories from cricket. “It’s been good - I’ve been really lucky to play in this competition for such a long time,” Ingram said. “Loved it, loved the banter, it’s been really good and made a few lifelong friends through this and hopefully I’ll stick around in the association.” Premierships with Springvale South stand out to him, as does last season’s grand final triumph over Cranbourne to earn Lyndale a spot back in Turf 1 for season 2013/14. A seven-time grand finalist - with three Turf 1 premierships a Damien Fleming medal for best afield in a grand final and a Turf 2 premiership with Lyndale sum up an impressive resume for the middle order batsman as well as three Turf 1 centuries. “I’ve been lucky enough to play at a time with a club where we had a good few years - played in my first grand final side with Springy South,” Ingram said. “That premiership was pretty memorable, and then to play in three grand finals in a row and to win two was incredible. “Won a Damien Fleming Medal in the grand final in my first granny and most importantly making friends and you cherish those moments with your friends for the rest of your life.” Ingram wanted to thank his family - especially his three daughters Alycia, Brianna and Sarina and said he hoped to spend a lot more time with them and give them back their dad on Saturday afternoons. “They haven’t seen dad on a Saturday afternoon in the summer, so it will be good to spend some time with them as family is important,” Ingram said.

SINKING their teeth into the Magpies, the Panthers roared to 5/303 at stumps on day one. From the top the pain was doled out by the Dandenong opening duo Brett Forsyth (125) and Tom Donnell (84). The pair made sure Camberwell would have to toil next week to stand any chance of making the finals as they piled on 159 for the first wicket. Donnell would fall 16-short of a well-deserved ton, but Forsyth avenged his partner’s departure with his eighth Victorian Premier Cricket first grade century. Forysth had his younger brother Cameron (48 not out) at the crease when he reached the milestone, before the older Forsyth hit one off Jack McNamara (1/52) straight to Glen Parker. Cameron continued what Brett started as he raced towards his half-century by stumps. Dandenong will need losses from both Fitzroy-Doncaster, who is 0/9 chasing 256 against Melbourne, and Prahran, chasing 329 against Northcote, to advance into the last finals spot on offer.

LYNDALE v MORDIALLOC ONLY 12 runs stood between Lyndale (188) and a fitting farewell for retiring captain Rory Ingram (15), as the home side couldn’t quite reach Mordialloc’s (199) middling tally. Jaime Brohier (71) offered up more reasons for a Wookey Medal nod on Monday night, allying himself with Conal Ranatunga (38) and Dale Tormey (27) before he was run out by Lance Bence. From there the Lyndale attack lacked the needed structure to hold at bay the likes of Chathura Athukorala (3/40) and Nick Connellan (5/51).

PAYING the bills and keeping its head above water in the race for finals seems to be the lesson taken away by Springvale South (142 and 3/53) in its scant victory over Coomoora (106). Yoshan Kumara (4/55) and Ruwantha Kellepotha (3/29) tuned up before the finals with significant hauls while Rahoul Pankhania (53) had the only score of note on the Kangaroos’ card. Batting practice for Springvale South in the second innings was called off as soon as possible, leaving the Bloods with a week to gear up for its semi-final clash against Parkfield.

MOTORING Power to the Proton By EWAN KENNEDY WHEN we road tested the allnew Proton Preve sedan at its introduction early in 2013 we were impressed by its ride and handling but felt it needed more power to match the chassis dynamics. Late in the year the importers added the option of a turbocharged engine in a new model called Preve GXR Turbo. While it still has a capacity of just 1.6 litres, in a class where 2.0 litres is more common, the Proton engine with a turbocharger now develops 103 kilowatts of power and 205 Nm of torque thus putting it into similar output category as the big boys in this size class Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla. At this stage the Preve GXR engine sits only alongside a CVT automatic transmission with seven preset ratios should the driver wish to take some manual control at times. An optional six-speed manual is in the pipeline for Australian sales. Our initial test drives out of Sydney when the Preve GXR
was introduced to the motoring media late last year saw us impressed with the way the Malaysian sedan handled on its Lotus tuned suspension. Proton owns the British maker of sports and racing cars and that company assists Proton not only with the suspension, but also engine and transmission design. We have now lived with the Proton Preve GXR for a week on our base on the Gold Coast, using it not only for the normal road test driving on our favourite roads, but also for the grind of day-to-day living and commuting. Styling is neat and tidy without being in any way outstanding. No one is going to rave over the shape of this sedan, then again it won’t look out of date in years to come. The interior of these Protons have good seating room for four adults, five without too much hip and shoulder rubbing. Rear seat legroom is excellent and we had no trouble carrying four adults for an extended social trip. Three adults in

the back is a squeeze, but three kids back there works fine. The boot is large and has a wide opening and regular interior shape. The rear-seat backrest can be folded down in a 67/33 fashion to further increase carrying capacity and cope with long loads. The CVT transmission works particularly well with the turbocharged engine as it drops to lower ratios immediately the driver pushes on the accelerator. By doing so it gets the engine through the period of turbo lag, thus producing faster throttle response than in other turbo engines. Ride comfort is generally good, though some big bumps and dips do catch it out, perhaps the suspension travel is a little short for Australia’s rough and ready back roads. Handling
The shape of the new Proton Preve shows its neat and tidy side.
continues to impress - but don’t expect to get a sports sedan for this sort of money as even the turbocharged model is aimed more at comfort than sharp steering and handling. The Proton Preve GXR gained a five-star ANCAP rating in Australasian crash testing late last year. Standard active safety features include Electronic Stability Control with Brake Assist that incorporates Traction Control and ABS with EBD. There
NEW WORLD
are front seatbelt pretensioners, active headrests and hazard lights that automatically turn on when sudden braking is detected from speeds above 90 km/h and/or when the car is involved in a crash. Proton Preve GXR sells from $23,990, a pretty good price in this class as the Malaysian maker tries to buy its way into a larger share the Australian market, which is something that we feel it should achieve because buyers get a lot
of competent vehicle for a modest outlay. Further savings come in the form of free services for the first five years or 75,000 kilometres. It also has a five-year warranty and five years free roadside assistance, both with a generous distance limit of 150,000 kilometres.

MOTORING
Juke is out of the box By ALISTAIR KENNEDY NO CAR company has attacked the booming SUV market with more gusto than Nissan. The newest and smallest of the Nissan SUV range is the Juke which arrived here in October 2013, although it had been on sale globally since mid-2010. Juke joins vehicles such as Holden Trax, Peugeot 2008, Fiat Panda and Ford EcoSport in the fledgling Compact SUV category, each of which is built on the same platform as small hatchbacks from within their respective brands. Nissan Juke is based on the Micra hatchback whose quirky appearance has tended to polarise opinion and so it’s proving with Juke’s bubbly body attracting plenty of attention. The turn indicators on the Juke sit on top of wheel arches and are visible from within the car. Some find this distracting so try and test the car at night if you have any concerns. Both front and rear wheel arches bulge out to give Juke a Popeye-like muscular stance while ‘hidden’ rear doors handles provide five-door convenience with three-door styling. Nissan Juke comes with two 1.6-litre petrol engines. One is naturally aspirated with peak power of 86 kW and 158 Nm of torque; the other a turbocharged, direct injection (DIG) unit that puts out 140
Model range ST 1.6-litre 86 kW petrol 2WD five-door wagon: $21,990 (manual), $24,390 (CVT automatic); ST-S 1.6-litre 140 kW turbo-petrol 2WD five-door wagon: $28,390 (manual); Ti-S 1.6-litre 140 kW turbo-petrol AWD five-door wagon: $32,190 (CVT automatic).
kW and 240 Nm and which is shared with the Pulsar SSS. The entry level Juke ST comes with the 86 kW engine mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or CVT automatic. The higher-specced ST-S and Ti-S each get turbo power; the ST-S only with a six-speed manual and the Ti-S with CVT. Each of the CVTs have preset ratios when a manual override is needed. All Juke models have Nissan’s Dynamic Control System with a choice of three drive modes, Normal for everyday driving, Eco for maximum efficiency and Sport for extra performance. Inside the Juke, stying is less adventurous than outside although the large centre console and gear lever housing continue
Nissan Juke is a compact SUV with plenty of character and lots of attitude. the circular theme. Interior space is limited but well-managed although taller rear seat occupants could find their head scraping on the ceiling. Rear legroom is better but is offset by a small (251-litre) boot meaning that the 60/40 folding rear seatback is likely to come into play quite frequently for transporting even moderate amounts of cargo. There’s good front headroom and the driver’s seat is comfortable and supportive although the absence of telescopic steering wheel adjustment does dictate seat positioning more than we’d like. All Juke models get front, side and curtain airbags; stability and traction control; ABS
brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist; ISOFIX child seat anchorage; ST-S and Ti-S add a reversing camera, automatic headlights with twilight detection, and rain sensing variable windscreen wipers. All models come with Bluetooth hands-free telephone but only the ST-S and Ti-S models include audio streaming, quickly becoming a must-have feature with tech-savvy buyers. The upper-specced variants also get a 5-inch LCD monitor that displays satellite navigation as well as audio, phone and driver data. There are also six speakers (two more than the ST). We were able to test both the
lowered-powered 2WD ST and turbocharged AWD ST-S during our recent Juke road test. For day-to-day commuting the ST’s combination of 88 kilowatts, 158 Newton metres and two-wheel drive will be quite acceptable to most. The more enthusiastic driver will be attracted to the extra power and torque from the turbo engine although if they don’t want to do their own gear changing then they’ll need to pay the extra near-$4000 and step up to the AWD Ti-S. The DIG Turbo engine does add a different dimension to the Juke with the sort of driving enjoyment that would be expected from an SUV. It would be a stretch to call
it a hot hatch, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had. The comfort/ ride balance is just right and Juke gripped corners with reassurance and little body roll. Nissan has a long history with CVT and has made significant improvements in recent models so it was disappointing to find the Juke’s system a bit noisy. A reminder that, although it’s new in Australia, this is car that’s nearly four years old and due for an upgrade next year. Like its Micra sibling Nissan Juke is a car that dares to be different and there’s no doubt that many buyers, especially younger ones, will jump into Nissan Juke on looks alone. On the other hand there will be those who are attracted to features such as the turbocharged engine that may well be turned off by the bubbly appearance. For what it’s worth, we love the quirky looks of the Juke as well as its SUV qualities of extra driving height and functionality. Engine performance, especially from the DIG Turbo, is excellent and pricing is comparable to its competitors in this all-new category.
