■ Developers blamed for chop...

Tree axe vandals

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CASEY council is investigating the illegal clearing of tall, mature gum trees on the purchased former Doveton Secondary College site.

A nearby resident Robert, who alerted the council to the vandalism on trees including several eucalypts fronting Ficifolia Drive on 1 May, said the “attractive vista” had been destroyed as well as his hope that part of the site could be used as parkland.

“They cut down up to eight quite massive eucalypts to stumps - perfectly healthy trees," he said.

“How do you put a price on it? You can’t just instantly grow another mature tree.”

He said he’d noticed a “small tree-lopping truck” and workers sawing down trees working out from the centre of the block in early April.

Late last month he noticed “several significant trees” on Ficifolia Drive had been removed, although a dead tree had been retained among a woodchip heap and fallen logs.

Neighbour Trisha Saladrigas said the trees fronting Box

Remains of the illegal treefelling. 38744 Street had also been felled “and then they started working their way around”.

“If they didn’t get a permit, it’s a bit wrong.”

The council and a “very concerned” Education Department confirmed last week that neither gave permission for destroying the trees and other vegetation.

The site is regulated by the council’s native vegetation controls and a council permit would have been required to legally re-

move any trees. The vandalism also undermines the council’s specific regulations for the site that developments must incorporate any significant native vegetation in the design.

It must maintain the “longterm, sustainable health and condition of existing vegetation” and avoid the dripline of any retained river red gum trees.

Neither Casey nor the Education Department would disclose the identity of the purchaser who bought the 58,000 square-metre site for $10.6 million in May last year.

The site - earmarked by the council for medium-density housing - is still Crown land because the purchase has not yet settled.

Prior to its sale, the former campus was promoted as a residential development opportunity with four street frontages, adjoining parkland and a nearby golfcourse.

Do you know who the developer is? Any tips on who lopped the trees?

Jail for historic abuse

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A 57-YEAR-old man has been sentenced to jail after pleading guilty to indecently assaulting his step-daughters nearly 30 years ago.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appealed on Monday against his six-month jail term for seven counts of indecent assault against the then-teenage girls in Springvale and Endeavour Hills in 1986 and 1987.

Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told in a sentencing hearing that the accused had indecently touched the eldest girl - then 14 - under her pyjamas on multiple occasions while they slept in a tent in the backyard and later in her bedroom on Saturday mornings in 1986.

The following year, the accused tried to kiss and on several times groped the younger daughter, then 13, in the lounge

room and while she helped him at his work place.

The matter came to a head when one of the victims secretly recorded a phone conversation with the accused in July 2014.

A court heard on Monday that the accused told the victim during the 36-minute chat: “I’m the one who was wrong” and that he had “no fear to face the law for what I have done”.

Defence lawyer Kristina Kothrakis said the accused was a different man now, who was “trying to make amends since”.

“There’s not a day gone by that he hasn’t felt remorseful.”

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen retorted: “How are the victims travelling? They went and complained to (their mother) and she said ‘What do you want me to do about it?’

“The children haven’t been getting the

support you’d hope. They hardly know their biological father. They’re from another country.”

Mr Vandersteen said the offending, which included “fondling and squeezing” the girls’ breasts under their clothes, and rubbing one of the victims’ stomachs down to the pubic hair line, was too “overwhelming” to spare the accused from jail.

“Your wife describes you as a loving and caring man over a 30-year period. I’d have to disagree due to your offending, which divided the family.

“It’s an immense breach of trust. You were their father, they were young and had known you for a long period of time.

“The children were isolated and had nowhere to go.”

According to victim impact statements, one of the step-daughters said she had come to a new country trusting the

accused but that he had betrayed her in a “manipulative” way.

The damage to her self-esteem had endured as an adult.

“I often feel responsible for the little girl that didn’t speak up,” she wrote.

Mr Vandersteen said he took into account the accused’s remorse, his community standing, the forthrightness of his disclosures and the time that had elapsed since the offences.

“You felt this day was long coming.”

The accused was convicted and sentenced to six months’ jail and an 18-month community corrections order that includes taking part in a sexual offenders’ program.

He would also be named on the sexual offenders’ register, reporting to Victoria Police for life.

The accused’s appeal will be heard in the County Court on 14 July.

Parks team show that food is good to grow AN EDIBLE oasis in the heart of Dandenong is more than just a pretty sight.

The City of Greater Dandenong parks team has planted and harvested hundreds of lettuces from plots around the water wheel in Dandenong Park in Pultney Street.

This month they donated the red and green leafy plants to Dandenong charity Avocare and planted winter veggies.

The spring onions, silverbeet, kale and broccoli planted in a kidneyshaped garden bed near the park’s

centre will also go to Avocare when they’re ready to eat.

The edible garden project aims to show Greater Dandenong residents that vegetables, herbs and edible plants can be easy to grow and make beautiful gardens, to inspire them to follow suit.

Another garden in the park contains sweet potato, taro and cassava and is part of a Monash University study on how tropical plants grow in cooler climates.

The vegetables are thriving despite the chill.

Council won’t oust Al-Furqan

Hallam on crime high HALLAM has been the worst-hit suburb in Casey for car thefts over a two- week period from April to May, according to another police hotspot map.

The map, released by police on Monday, highlights Hallam as the worst affected suburb for theft from and theft of cars from Monday 20 April to Sunday 3 May. Cranbourne East was the next worst hit, according to the map.

But Detective Senior Sergeant John Bergin said the targeted suburbs seemed to shift each month, with the previous hot spot map collated for March indicating Beaconsfield and Narre Warren South as the worst affected areas.

“It’s a very opportunistic crime,

as you know, and it’s really hard to track the patterns,” he said.

The renewed crack -down on car thefts comes after police launched Operation Stance in February, a project run by the Narre Warren CIU which identifies hot spots in the municipality where there are high rates of this type of auto crime - particularly thefts from cars.

According to the latest police statistics, released by the Crime Statistics Agency in March, there were 248.5 motor vehicle thefts in Casey per 100,000 resident population in 2014, up from 215.5 the year before.

Det Sen Sgt Bergin said it was incredibly frustrating that many of the thefts were from unlocked cars

and that valuables were left visible, despite police urging the community to stay vigilant.

“A lot of European cities encourage cars to be devoid of all personal property,” he said.

“You walk down the streets of London and look into the cars and there’s nothing in them, but not in Casey.”

Operation Stance will continue until the end of June, with at least 50 additional high visibility police officers taking part.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

– LACHLAN MOORHEAD

A police hot spot map indicates Hallam was one of the worst affected suburbs for car thefts recently.

Minister accused of passing buck over station

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY councillor Rafal Kaplon has hit out at the state’s police minister after he “passed the buck” when asked whether the Endeavour Hills Police Station could be upgraded to a 24-hour manned facility.

When discussing with the News last week Casey Council’s push to have the station manned 24 hours a day, Minister Wade Noonan said the decision lay ultimately with the Police Commissioner.

“It’s not for politicians to determine when stations are opening or closing,” he said.

“When these matters are raised with the local member or me, the minister, we refer them to the Chief Commissioner.”

But at a council meeting on Tuesday Cr Kaplon said he disagreed with Mr Noonan’s assessment.

The City of Casey had resolved to look into the feasibility of having the Endeavour Hills Police Station manned 24 hours a day after Cr Kaplon raised the issue in April.

“Unfortunately on his recent visit to Casey the Minister for Police, the Hon Wade Noonan, didn’t acknowledge this need in his exclusive interview with the Journal News, instead the Minister passed the buck to the Chief Commissioner,” he said.

“I wholeheartedly disagree with the minister’s last statement as it is the politicians that control the funds and resources that are allocated throughout Victoria.

“In this instance it has always been the community's need and expectation that is being pushed for by council, so I hope the minister speaks to the local members - state and federal - and reconsiders his decision.”

Casey councillor Rafal Kaplon has urged Police Minister Wade Noonan to consider upgrading Endeavour Hills Police Station so it is manned 24 hours a day.

THERE is no reason to cancel a controversial Islamic group’s two-yearold standing booking at a Keysborough leisure centre.

This was the City of Greater Dandenong’s response last week to concerns about members of Al-Furqan meeting each Friday at the Springers facility.

Community services director Mark Doubleday said the group was charged the standard room hire fees and had used the space for prayers.

“Provided the use and conduct is consistent with council’s policies for public use and hire and is not disruptive or inappropriate in terms of others or the community, then the group’s booking is appropriate,” he said.

“There is no reason for council to have any concerns.”

Al-Furqan said it closed its Springvale South shopfront headquarters on 22 April due to “harassment, pressure and false accusations”.

Media reports claimed that Al-Furqan was linked to five men arrested on 18 April over an alleged plan to attack Anzac Day services and to Numan Haider who was shot dead last year.

Mum’s up early for Cambodian breakfast

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS HERE’S an all-day breakfast with a difference.

Many of My Cambodia’s early diners opt for a noodle-thick Phnom Penh soup enmeshed with seafood, bean sprouts and coriander says the restaurant’s Karl Lim. Alternatively they go for loc lac, a dish of diced beef cubes, lettuce and “red” rice that is stir-fried with egg and tomato.

Back in the kitchen is Karl’s mum Say Keav Liv, the head chef who cooks most of the south-east Asian influenced menu any time of the day.

The pair and two of Karl’s siblings opened Springvale’s first Cambodian restaurant Purple Orchid 10 years ago before expanding to the 50-seat restaurant My Cambodia in 2010.

Before that, Say had run a bakery in Springvale for seven years.

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL “We have always loved food,” Karl said.

“I grew up eating at the Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants around Springvale.

“Springvale was the area with the fresh, quality produce and where language was not a barrier for (Mum).

“Being multi-lingual she could speak three or four dilaects of Chinese and Khmer.

“Speaking English wasn’t an issue dealing in Springvale.”

The family came to Australia in 1983 as refugees from Cambodia where Say cooked for hundreds of

Phnom Penh Noodle, both dry and as a doup. fellow prisoners in a Khmer Rougerun prison camp. She had grown up in the food-loving Cambodian province of Battambang, steeped in Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisine.

My Cambodia is open seven days a week from 8.30am-9pm at 28 Buckingham Avenue, Springvale. Phone 9540 3551.

"Then this race of athletes proceeded to scale the cliff without responding to the enemy’s fire.

"They lost some men but did not worry. In less than a quarter of an hour the Turks were driven out of their second position and were either bayoneted or fleeing.

"The courage displayed by those wounded Australians will never be forgotten.

"Hastily placed in trawlers, lighters and boats, they were towed to the ships.

"In spite of their sufferings, they cheered the ship from which they had set out in the morning.

"In fact I have never seen anything like these wounded Australians in war before.

"Though many were shot and were without hopes of recovery, their cheers resounded through the night.

"You could see in the midst of the mass of suffering humanity arms waving in greeting to the crews of the warships.

"They were happy, because they knew they had been tried for the first time and not found wanting.“ Killed Private Eric Martin - Keysborough Wounded Private R. M. Daffey - Dandenong Private R. H. Dawborn - Frankston Private E.R. Williams - Springvale

LOOKING BACK 100 years ago 13 May 1915 Australians at the front The Colonials exceed all expectations as fighters.

Australians must indeed feel proud of the manner in which troops from these shores have acquitted themselves in the gigantic warfare which commenced some days ago at the Dardanelles, when reading the cable messages published by the Melbourne dailies.

“The Australians rose to the occasion.

"They did not wait for orders or for the boats to reach the beach but sprang into the sea, formed a sort of rough line and rushed the enemy’s trenches.

"Their magazines were not

charged, so they just went in with cold steel.

"It was over in a minute. The Turks in the first trench were either bayoneted or ran away.

"Then the Australians found themselves facing an almost perpendicular cliff, with loose sandstone covered by thick shrubbery.

"Somewhere halfway up the enemy had a second trench strongly held from which was poured a terrible fire on the troops below and the boats pulling back to the destroyers for the second landing party.

"Here was a tough proposition to tackle in the darkness. But these colonials, practical above all else, went about it in a practical way.

"They stopped for a few minutes

50 years ago 11 May 1965 Whooping cough epidemic ends Springvale - Predictions of the medical officer that an epidemic of mild whooping cough in Springvale City would end in autumn have been borne out.

Dr N. H. Luth’s report to council for February stated that 10 cases of the cough had been notified. His report for March contained no cases.

In two weeks during March no infectious diseases were notified which he considered very satisfactory.

Dr Luth stated general health of the community was satisfactory and except for the usual minor respiratory complaints there was nothing to comment on.

A LAWYER visiting Dandenong Magistrates’ Court from across town last week exhibited a wit reminiscent of Rumpole of the Bailey.

More at home in leafy Ivanhoe, the lawyer

was heard to say: “Dandenong is an experience I enjoy once every two years.

"I’m not a greedy man, I’m prepared to wait.”

THE recent Anzac Day services proved enormously popular - and expensive - for Dandenong RSL. The club is sitting down with Greater Dandenong Council this week hoping City Hall can help with an unexpectedly high $30,000-plus security bill for the wall of water-filled barriers that lined the Pillars of Freedom on the day.

A DANDENONG Magistrates’ Court clerk last week started a spirited debate over the utility of her over-sized ring.

A police officer wondered aloud whether the bloated bling could be classified as a knuckle-duster.

The clerk’s defence was rock-solid.

“It’s not a weapon, it’s a fashion accessory,” she said.

A clutter-filled home occupied by an elderly couple was consumed by fire in Endeavour Picture: CAM LUCADOU-WELLS Hills. 138652

Wee hours fire 1184208-LB20-15

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

23 Osborne Avenue, Springvale 9548 4155

AN ELDERLY couple has been rushed to hospital after their Endeavour Hills home went up in flames in the early hours of the morning.

Firefighters called to the Daniel Solander Drive property around 2am on Wednesday found the house “fully engulfed” when they arrived.

The pair had fled the fire after being alerted by a smoke alarm, and were treated by paramedics at the scene.

Fire crews brought the blaze under control within 15 minutes but the home was destroyed.

A CFA spokeswoman said the non-suspicious fire started in the home’s laundry and was fuelled by “significant clutter” in the home.

An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said a man in his seventies appeared to suffer from smoke inhalation and was taken to the Dandenong Hospital in a stable condition along with the woman.

Learning cash

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS SCHOOLS in the south east have benefited from what State Treasurer Tim Pallas has labelled “the biggest education budget in Victoria’s history”.

In his 2015-’16 budget speech on Tuesday Mr Pallas mentioned a Cranbourne Secondary College student who said: “I love school but these classrooms are absolutely disgusting.”

“That’s about as sad as you get,“ Mr Pallas said.

“While opening her eyes to the world, she’s turning her gaze away.

“That can’t happen here - not in our state, not in our schools.”

In the budget, Cranbourne Secondary College was allocated $1 million over two years for planning towards a $10 million upgrade.

The upgrade includes redeveloping its science and technology wing and new classrooms.

BUDGET 15-16 Hampton Park Primary School gets a $5 million upgrade of its administrative wing, art, library and computer rooms as well as a new science discovery centre.

Berwick Fields Primary School is also one of 62 state schools named for maintenance repairs and other upgrades.

The state’s “biggest increase in school funding” includes $178 million to help disadvantaged students go on school camps, get free eye tests and free breakfasts.

Mr Pallas said the government was also covering an $805 million federal shortfall in Gonski funding in 2016 and 2017.

The other budget announcements a new bus service between Cranbourne and Pearcedale was also announced, with

more services and extended routes such as the 847 Berwick to Casey Central route stretching into the Glasscocks Road area.

Suburbs in Casey and Cardinia will share in a $50 million Interface Councils Infrastructure Fund covering 10 outer suburban councils.

The fund will be used for multi-purpose facilities, community centres and playgrounds.

The Endeavour Hills precinct revamp has received $50,000 towards redesigning the town square and kiosk.

The government will also commit to 20 E-class trams and 21 VLocity regional carriages built at Bombardier’s factory in Dandenong as part of a $2 billion rolling-stock package.

It has also announced funding for a conventional signalling upgrade on the CranbournePakenham rail corridor.

Opposition Leader Matthew Guy stands with Opposition Roads Spokesman Ryan Smith and Gembrook MP Brad Battin next to Thompsons Road, which he says Labor has failed to allocate enough funding to in the latest State Budget.

Road upgrade in slow lane

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD OPPOSITION Leader Matthew Guy has slammed the government for allocating only $20.5 million in this year’s State Budget to duplicate Thompsons Road despite promising $175 million for the upgrade prior to the election.

Mr Guy, who visited Merinda Park train station on Wednesday with Gembrook MP Brad Battin and Opposition roads spokesman Ryan Smith, said the Thompsons Road funding allocation was an “insult” to the Casey community.

The State Budget, released on Tuesday, indicates $480,000 will be spent on the Thompsons Road project up to 30 June

2015, with $20 million to follow over the rest of the government’s term.

“For the government to promise $175 million and to deliver barely $20 million $500,000 in the first year - is a huge insult to the people of Casey. They were promised more, and they deserve better.”

Last June Labor promised to spend $175 million on the duplication of two sections of Thompsons Road - between Dandenong-Frankston Road and South Gippsland Highway, and between Narre WarrenCranbourne and Clyde roads - if it won the election.

Mr Battin said the money allocated to Thompsons Road in

Tuesday’s Budget would only “get the planning done”.

Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley said the Government was “committed to delivering on its election commitment of $175 million to upgrade Thompsons Road which is why we have started the planning process.”

“In the 2015-'16 Budget the Andrews Labor Government is investing $20 million to do the planning and pre-construction work to duplicate Thompsons Road,” she said.

“This is in addition to the $500,000 investment to fasttrack the planning process which was announced in February.”

1184011-EG20-15

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN recently diagnosed with a neuro-degenerative disease has avoided his 11th stint behind bars after pleading guilty to speeding at about 175 km/h in an unroadworthy car on the Monash Freeway.

Steven Craig Kumeatatis, 28, twitching as part of his Huntington’s Disease affliction, was told by Dandenong magistrate Jack Vandersteen on 4 May there was “no point” in him being imprisoned.

Huntington’s had already killed and afflicted several of Kumeatatis’s close relatives at a young age.

The court heard Kumeatatis - at the time a disqualified driver - had been detected by speed gun travelling at 122 km/h on the freeway at Dandenong North on 23 November 2012 at 4.37pm.

Kumeatatis’s vehicle “pulled away” as police drove behind him at a steady speed of 170175 km/h on the freeway between Stud and Heatherton roads, police prosecutor Senior Consttable Kerryn Buschgens told the court.

The vehicle passed three other vehicles and changed lanes without indicating in a manner that was “extremely dangerous to other road users,” Sen Const Buschgens said.

When intercepted, Kumeatatis gave a false name and tried to hide a bum bag containing cannabis and what was believed to be amphetamines.

The rear two tyres of the car were deemed to be in unroadworthy condition. He had been disqualified for three years since 2010.

Kumeatatis also fled a crash in which he had failed to give way at a roundabout at Western Port Highway, Skye on 21 May last year.

The victim’s vehicle was significantly damaged and pushed off the road during the incident, the court heard.

Kumeatatis declared he was from Tooradin before driving off in his car despite its front bumper dragging on the road and front lights being smashed due to the crash.

He also pleaded guilty to five counts of driving unlicensed, two counts of driving an un-

registered car, drink-driving, speeding and stealing a sound system from a car parked at Merinda Park railway station in a 12-month spree up to January.

Defence lawyer John Buxton conceded his client had “extensive priors” of like offending but the illness was “explanatory” of the accused’s impulsivity and disinhibited behaviour over a number of years.

It had in recent weeks been “positively” managed by medication.

The accused’s amphetamine use ceased six months ago, though he had a “smoke of marijuana” daily and drank in moderation, Mr Buxton said.

Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said he was concerned Kumeatatis’s “selfish” driving could have hurt another member of the public but the accused was suffering a “serious” medical condition.

Kumeatatis was convicted and placed on a 12-month community corrections order with drug, mental health and medical treatment.

He was disqualified from driving for two years.

Man’s bike getaway after smoke spotted A SUSPICIOUS man was spotted riding away from a Dandenong garage fire on a bike last month.

A witness saw smoke coming from the vacant garage in Burrows Avenue about 3.30pm on Thursday 30 April and then spotted a man

leaving the area on a push bike soon after.

CFA crews attended the fire, which was lit inside the empty garage using leaves and cardboard.

Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

HOME & GARDEN

A blue-ribbon green thumb

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

Keep up the weeding bu t also look in to companio n planting to keep the pests out...

pour it over my vegies,” Pat said.

Her number one tip is a good base and mulch – it all starts with the soil, she said.

“I put everything in my compost, vegetable matter and grass clippings and make sure it’s full of nutrients.”

With potatoes and rhubarb all year round, Pat’s late season oranges are a riot of colour in the winter months.

“They’re not ready to eat yet but are starting to change colour now –

I planted it four years ago and it gets better every year, last year I had about 40 oranges and this year I’ve counted more than 50,” she said.

Some hearty winter vegetables Pat’s neighbours might plant for her include lettuce, snow peas, cabbage and shallots. Pat recommends a little TLC, but not too much water in the winter months and most importantly rhubarb all year round, because an apple and rhubarb pie really pays off in the colder weather.

Above left: Pat Jones with her award-winning rhubarb and winter blooming oranges.

WITH a stack of first-place blue ribbons under her belt Pakenham resident, Pat Jones and her green thumb are ready to plant some winter vegetables.

Having lived in Pakenham for 28 years, Pat’s vegetable garden has won prizes at the Berwick, Pakenham and Dandenong shows and one of Pat’s main tips is to not over-do it.

“Keep up the weeding but also look into companion planting to keep the pests out,” she said.

Growing winter vegies can be a breeze with the clouds watering the patch for us, but Pat said one drink after planting should be enough in winter until you see them coming through.

“Good mulch is the key – I make my own compost and give the soil a good watering before planting but don’t over-water or else they’ll die,” Pat said.

This season Pat will be planting peas, onions, radishes and beetroot and said she was lucky enough to have vegie growers next door who she shared her goodies with and vice versa.

Pat recommends planting garlic, marigold or calendula flowers in among the vegies to keep the pests out, as they don’t like the strong smell.

“In the wintertime every couple of months I tend to put some Seasol in a watering can and

LAST HOME & GARDEN CHANCE TO BUY NEW UNITS AT SAFFRON GROVE

Tea’s the treat A HOT cup of tea is a staple throughout the colder months, and is perfect anytime of the day. Not only is tea perfect for warming you up, it has a vast array of health benefits and can be used to treat a range of ailments. Here’s our guide to the many varieties of tea and everything they can be used for.

Green Tea Rich in antioxidants, green tea promotes healthy cell growth, lowers cholesterol levels and has a relaxing effect on the body.

Black Tea Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it also lowers the risk of heart disease and diabetes and regulates blood sugar levels.

Chamomile Tea Widely used to calm anxiety and insomnia, chamomile tea can also be used to treat mouth swelling and diarrhoea.

Ginger Tea An all-rounder of sorts, ginger tea will settle nausea

and morning sickness, treat dizziness and calm menstrual pain.

Echinacea Tea If you feel a cold coming on, Echinacea is your friend. Drink to prevent the onset and to treat the symptoms of cold and flu this winter.

Peppermint Tea A dose of peppermint tea will calm the stomach and soothe bloating.

Rooibos A naturally caffeine-free tea, it is known to help clear the skin and contains cancerfighting properties.

Dandelion Tea made from the common flower can be used to help digestion, treat jaundice, reduce the intensity of hot flashes and fight the formation of kidney stones.

Ginseng Made from the root of a ginseng plant, this versatile tea helps with lowering blood sugar and pressure as well as improving mental function.

How long should you let tea brew?

IT’S A question hotly debated among tea lovers and, ultimately, comes down to personal preference.

As a general rule, the larger the leaf, the longer it will take to brew.

Loose tea should be brewed in a teapot for approximately seven minutes.

Earl and Lady Grey only require five minutes, and any smaller leaves will take around three or less minutes.

You will not be disappointed!

By NORMAN MCCOURT LIKE many Australians I grew up in the country, a small country town called Surfers Paradise. In the ’50s and ’60s it indeed was just that – no fences, trees and dunes for miles.

The hinterland birdlife was dominated by the rainbow lorikeets that converged twice a day at the Currumbin Bird Sanctuary for a meal of bread and honey diluted with water – they have a sweet tooth. The sanctuary fed so many birds they had their own apiary.

However it was my mother who taught me the joys of feeding the kookaburras and butcher birds.

Both enjoyed bacon and would eat from our hands, making a regular habit of it at 4.30 after school each day.

In later years I travelled the world but never experienced much in the way of foreign birdlife. It was something you had to seek out with binoculars, gumboots and possibly even a ‘society’ (remember Bill Oddie?)

Australian birds by contrast are … prolific, social and outgoing characters and feeding them has become second nature to many Australians. An inexpensive and rewarding pastime, transforming outdoor areas into busy, thriving, sociable communities of colour.

There’s always something going on in the bird world as I take great joy in observing from

hat onders t Small w memories ck bring ba ecome a s ... it’ b game. n generatio

my Pakenham Upper home.

If you have a flowering garden you will become familiar with smaller wrens, finches and honeyeaters that feast on flower nectar.

These birds are self-sufficient but will eat native bird seed (you can purchase a large bag of native bird seed from most supermarkets for a few dollars). They will also indulge in bread and honey – you can finetune their favourite foods as the seasons progress.

They also enjoy a bird bath in the hot weather – provided you have no cats. It will become the focal point of the yard early morning and late afternoons during the

hot summer months. Make sure its placement is high enough off the ground and in plain view of your main windows. As these birds are small they only require a large plate or old clay pot-plant base with a couple of centimetres of water. The chaos that ensues often resembles a noisy primary school at the local baths – everyone gets drenched!

In the hills, galahs, sulphurcrested cockatoos, cockatiels and rosellas become the dominant species – though not as interested in public bathing, when feeding can be very entertaining. Sulphurcrested cockatoos particularly enjoy corn kernels and even pork fat.

Occasionally the opportunity to feed the much rarer king parrots will arise. This variety travel in pairs – the males have a large bright red head, the female smaller and all green.

The male kings are very docile and will often feed right out of your hand – a small plastic cup of wild bird seed will suffice.

In no time time you become familiar with individuals in the flock and even recognise individual’s calls. They like being fed at specific times, creatures of habit!

When I began feeding at my current address in Pakenham Upper one particular sulphur-crested cockatoo (Whelan – we presume it’s a he) came down onto the roof of the feeder and immediately removed a roof shingle and threw it away. When he departed I went out and replaced it … he immediately came back and tore it off again and was very vocal in the process.

Whelan now stands on the feeder roof using the hole to watch and talk with his companions while they eat.

My 18-month-old granddaughter Grace is the latest link in the journey that travels back some 60 years to my mother and the Coast.

When Grace comes to visit me at Pakenham Upper she is consumed with the birds, taking part in their feeding and collecting their feathers. Small wonders that bring back memories … it’s become a generation game.

NEW HOMES & LAND

INSPIRED TO TAKE A FRESH APPROACH In a world of same same layouts, Inspired Homes offers a personalised approach to building a home.

It works together in partnership with their clients to create a home that suits individual needs, wants and the characteristics of their client’s land.

“Andrew Stickley and his team certainly deliver a unique and innovative single story design,” said John and Sue, happy owners of a new Inspired Home.

“After three years of trolling through many show homes, which started to look the same, we were about to sign up with a well-known quality builder.

“The day before the signing, we walked into the Living Room of the

Laguna 319 at the Berwick Waters Display Centre.

“We were simply amazed by the island bench facing the alfresco and the natural lines and curves, and a gas fire place that provided a very welcoming and relaxed feeling.

“Based on this unique design, we signed with Inspired Homes the following day and have never looked back.

“Using the living and media rooms as the core, Andrew was unsparing in his time and professional advice designing modifications to suite our very specific needs.

“It is uncommon to find someone who truly cares about delivering on customer expectations in a cost

effective manner.

“We were also given very comprehensive documentation detailing options for exterior and interior colours, fixtures and fittings.

“We highly recommend Inspired Homes and certainly give a five star perfect rating.”

Inspired Homes has been established for 10 years and stands alone as a boutique home designer, offering a personal approach to building a new home.

Inspired Homes display location is at Berwick Waters Estate, 3-5 Serene Way, Clyde North.

Phone Andrew Stickley on 0411 473 662 or phone 13000 homes (1300 046 637).

EDUCATION WEEK

Week adds up to enjoy maths THIS year’s Education Week maths theme will see hundreds of schools and early years services participate in the week, from 17-23 May 2015, through open days, exhibitions, themed class activities and other special events.

Under the theme of ‘Crack the Code With Maths’ schools and early childhood programs are encouraged to explore maths with students and parents using the activity ideas, promotional tools, teaching resources and helpful course and career links found on the Department of Education’s website.

Schools will be able to take part in The Great Victorian Coding Challenge in the leadup to Education Week this year by bringing maths to life in their classrooms.

Using the simple software Scratch which is already installed on government school computers, students can create and animate their very own characters and games, and have the chance to win a full-day excursion to specialist maths and science centre Quantum Victoria.

And there’s plenty of support for teachers with no knowledge of coding, including short

webinars, online resources and ideas for classroom activities.

Other activities will give thousands of children the opportunity to experience freeof-charge educational and cultural activities hosted by museums, galleries, libraries, farms, performance groups and other community organisations with education programs throughout Victoria.

Visit www.education.vic.gov.au and follow the Education Week link at the bottom of the page.

Just ‘no limit for girls’ at Mater MATER Christi Belgrave is a vibrant open entry college for girls, easily accessible by dedicated buses and public transport.

With an enrolment of over 900 students, modern facilities, fully connected contemporary learning spaces and outstanding results, the college is passionate about girls’ education.

“There is less emphasis on competition as the driver for learning. Girls are free to pursue the challenges on offer, whether academic, physical or social, in leadership, in sporting activities or in social justice and community activities,” said principal Mary Fitz-Gerald.

When girls consistently witness other girls as role models in all areas, they realise there is no limit to what they can do.

“From their first day at Mater Christi, students witness other girls as captain of the sports team, SRC leader, Physics high achiever, drummer in the rock band or as the lead role in the school production,” Ms Fitz-Gerald said.

The ‘can-do’ energy of young girls is evident right across the beautiful campus set above the Belgrave township.

Students can be seen actively engaged in the extensive programs aimed to meet their diverse interests, abilities and learning styles.

Contact the college on 9754 6611 to arrange a tour or visit their website to learn more about taster days, scholarships and enrolling for 2016 and beyond.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Slow internet saps firms

By CASEY NEILL A HALLAM business is spending $3000 a month on internet access that the National Broadband Network could deliver for hundreds.

Wastech Engineering business systems co-ordinator David Elliott said connecting businesses should be the priority for NBN Co. “It really does put a big dampener on businesses, especially in this area,” he said.

“We have a CAD (computer-aided design) drawing department.

“We’re constantly sending and receiving drawings between customers and suppliers and ourselves so that we get the products right first time.”

Mr Elliott said uploading one 400MB file could take two hours with a standard connection.

“We can upload that file in about 10 minutes,” he said.

“An hour later the whole job is drawn, signed off, instead of having to wait days between revisions.

“It still allows us to connect to the internet as quickly as we need to, but that’s only because we’re spending a fortune to do so.”

His comments followed a report from Southern Melbourne Regional Development Australia (RDA) Committee and the Greater Dandenong, Kingston and Frankston councils released on 27 April.

It found slow internet was costing business in the south east more than 1000 jobs and $8.4 million in yearly growth.

They are using the results to urge NBN Co to review its rollout priorities to industrial areas throughout the south east.

The report, based on a survey of 322 businesses that employ more than 6500 people, concluded that inadequate internet access was constraining innovation.

More than 70 per cent of respondents said their productivity would improve by up to 20 per cent if they were connected to high-speed broadband.

More than 25 per cent would seriously consider relocating to access it and two thirds were unhappy with their current internet service.

Fund sells factory site A KEY Dandenong South manufacturing site is now in new hands.

Property fund manager Quintessential Equity sold the 2.43 hectare 269-271 Frankston-Dandenong Road for $7.2 million to a private investor.

The site on the north eastern corner of Frankston-Dandenong Road and Cojo Place and is home to buildings totalling about 7340 square metres.

Sole tenant Tycab Australia signed a 14-year lease agreement in March so will stay put until at least 2029.

Quintessential Equity head of property Russell Bullen said that since acquiring the property in November 2012, it had worked closely with Tycab to upgrade the site.

“The newly-completed workshop adds a different element and dynamic to the site,” Mr Bullen said.

Colliers International and Savills managed the sale.

Business falling through a hole in the net COREX Plastics is forking out $30,000 for the internet speed it needs - despite the National Broadband Network cable running right past its door.

The Dandenong company’s managing director Simon Whiteley made the decision to invest in a fibre optic connection late last year.

He said initial NBN plans forecast a connection to the site by the second quarter of this year.

“That hasn’t been updated since 2013. The current work log is still not showing this area,” he said.

“Productivity was being reduced because of the inept bandwidth available.

“It was a cost that we could no longer bear.

“I know it’s in the ground because I’ve seen it. It goes right past the door.

“Any new estate, they automatically get it, whereas we don’t.

“It’s not feasible for us to move 500 metres down the road in order to capture that. It would have cost me millions of dollars.”

The South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) president said sending large files such as computer-aided design (CAD) drawings was key to his business.

“While you do that upload, your download performance is restricted,” Mr Whiteley said.

“That’s where the productivity’s lost. People will be waiting.

“We need to have that bandwidth.

We need to have that connectivity.

Southern Melbourne RDA committee member Tony Lupton wants the report to change the narrative about NBN. “It’s not just about downloading movies,” he said.

Fellow member Lyndon Joss said NBN Co had to achieve connection targets and that domestic connections

Simon Whiteley from Corex feared business would slip through his fingers if he didn’t act. 131596 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS “There’s enough barriers to work with other businesses.

“It’s about moving forward with data.

“We’re becoming far more a connected world.”

Mr Whiteley gave 3D printing as

an example. If a machine part fails he has to order a new one from Europe.

In the meantime, the supplier could send him the specifications to 3D print a temporary part to keep the business moving.

“Businesses are not getting the connection they need and they’re suffering,” he said.

Mr Joss said some businesses were spending thousands of dollars - sometimes more than $20,000 - to install their own improved internet connections.

“They can’t wait any more because

they can’t get any information about when it’ll go in,” he said.

An NBN Co spokesperson said the company’s goal was to make fast broadband available to all Australian homes and businesses by 2020.

“Economic and physical resource constraints prevent us connecting everyone at the same time,” a statement said.

“There’s a business case, it’s affecting the productivity of the coun- CASEY NEILL try.”

“As a result, we must build the network in a systematic, efficient and cost effective manner.

“We are working hard to do this as quickly as possible and at least cost to Australians.

‘Stupid’ Aussie becomes king of castle NARRE Warren businesses, a Sri Lankan-born comedian and a Cantonese banquet combined this week.

The Narre Warren Region Business Group held a networking evening at Ming Palace in Narre Warren with Dilruk ‘Dil’ Jayasinha as their guest, fresh from a 22show run at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

“I only found out 10 months after I arrived here that ‘dill’ is ‘stupid’ in Australia,” Dil said.

Dil spoke about applying for work as an accountant following in the wake of an investigation that found resumes of applicants with foreign names fared better with ‘Aussie’ names attached.

He decided to be as Aussie as possible - quoting classic Aussie movie The Castle without having seen it was the tip of the iceberg.

Comedian Dilruk Jayasinha with Ross Neilson. 138660 “I even dropped a ‘strewth’ during an interview,” he said.

“They had such low

expectations of me that I looked like a rock star.

“I was Susan Boyle.”

Acting president Ross

Neilson said there were 18,000 businesses in Casey but NWRBG had only 35 financial mem-

bers. “We are trying to build up our membership,” he said.

“Spread the word and sign up people to come along.

“You do get business out of it.”

NWRBG grew from the Narre Warren Chamber of Commerce and now supports and represents businesses of all shapes and sizes from Narre Warren and surrounds.

Member Ray Keefe from Successful Endeavours in Berwick said the group’s membership was from a diverse range of businesses.

“There are always interesting people in the room,” he said.

“It makes you think about what you’re doing through a different lens.”

Savour the flavour SOUTHERN Cross Primary School’s cultural diversity was celebrated in style last week.

The Endeavour Hills school held a special Harmony Day event on Wednesday to recognise the diverse cultural backgrounds of its students, as well as the broader Casey and Australian community.

“It is a day to celebrate Australia’s diversity,“ Junior School co-ordinator Angeline Singh said.

“It is a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home from the traditional owners of this land to those who have come from

many countries around the world,” Ms Singh said.

“By participating in Harmony Day activities we can learn and understand how all Australians from diverse backgrounds equally belong to this nation and make it a better and enriching place.”

Students participated in a range of activities for the day, followed by a whole school presentation on cultural heritage and diversity.

“The day ended by everyone singing the Australian national anthem and feeling very proud of our country, Australia, which we call home,” Ms Singh said.

Hallam Senior College’s rugby academy - with players from last year’s Victorian sides pictured - is off to New South Wales to compete in the GIO Cup for schoolboys. 121430 Picture: JARROD POTTER

Hallam takes a conversion

By JARROD POTTER NOT many people would have expected Hallam Senior College to join an elite New South Wales Schoolboys’ rugby league competition, but through a unique set of circumstances the unlikely scenario has become reality.

With traditional rugby league school Holy Cross College - Ryde, in Sydney’s inner suburbs, bowing out of this year’s GIO Cup over uncertainty about its competitiveness, it left an opening in the 12-team competition.

While most Sydneysiders would have looked for another NSW team from the GIO Trophy, the powers that be instead looked to Victoria to find a suitable replacement.

Hallam Senior College was that lucky school, earning an invite to take Holy Cross’s

place in the competition - and Hallam’s rugby academy coach Jamie Fardell said it was just reward for many successful campaigns in the GIO Trophy.

“There are 12 teams that compete in this in NSW and it is invite only, so you have to perform pretty well in the Trophy division to even be considered,” Fardell said.

“We were semi-finalists last year in the trophy and quarterfinalists the three years before that and that’s a knockout competition of 300 schools, so for us to be good at that for the last four years it shows we’re ready to step up.”

After many years of hard work - alongside initial academy coach Travis McIntosh Fardell was thrilled to see Victoria get a chance to mark itself on the rugby league map and it was due to the hard work of staff and players - from NRL level all the

way down through the ranks.

Fardell is unsure whether Hallam Senior College is invited to the competition just for 2015 or beyond, but he believes the growth of rugby league - especially in Victoria - will have organisers keen to keep the south-east Melbourne school around.

“When people talk about Victorian schoolboys, they know that we’re number one,” Fardell said.

Hallam is set to play its debut match in the GIO Cup on 20 May in Sydney before hosting a home-clash on Monday 15 June either at Gosch’s Paddock or potentially AAMI Park as a curtainraiser to the Melbourne Storm/ Parramatta Eels NRL match.

Applications for the school’s 2016 rugby academy intake are currently open - for more information visit www.hallamssc. vic.edu.au.

Three straight for City

By JARROD POTTER HOWLING gales lashed Frank Holohan Soccer Complex on Saturday afternoon, but even battling the wind and Kingston City was no issue for Dandenong City to pick up its third NPL1 East win in a row.

The crowd was warmed up by a sensational piece of work from Brad Clarke - as the defender brought Dario Matkovic in to the box to open the City coffers in the 26th minute.

Clarke started the piece to bring his Dandy City brethren into the box as the defender weaved his way past Kingston’s back men before playing in Matkovic.

That’s how the score line would stay through a wind-swept and difficult afternoon, despite the best efforts of both sides.

Matkovic and Keegan Ziada continued to pepper the goals and cause headaches for Kingston keeper Fraser Maclaren.

Both defences held strong

as a second goal could not be found in regulation as Dandenong City took the 1-0 win.

“It was an important win every win is important I should say - but that one was substantial as I don’t think we played our best football,” Dandenong City coach Aaron Healey said.

“But we were good enough to get a goal in-front and good enough to keep a clean-sheet.”

Healey praised the efforts of Clarke - who excelled out of right-back all day.

Thunder will rue its missed opportunity to book it away from the foot of the NPL ladder after conceding a late equaliser to finish 1-1 against last placed North Geelong Warriors.

Yusuf Ahmed proved sensational once again as the 18-yearold beguiled the crowd at George Andrews Reserve to drive home his sixth goal of the season.

His 57th minute strike - after a beautiful piece of ballhandling through the Warriors’

defence - should have been enough to give the Thunder the much-needed three points, but were unable to hold out the Warriors til the final whistle.

Abdirahman Ahmed flayed wildly at Nikola Jurkovic to give North Geelong a chance to level the ledger from the penalty spot - which Matthew Townley had no trouble converting in the 75th minute.

Dandenong Thunder sits 12th - just above the relegation zone - on nine points and will hope to add to its tally with an away win over Heidelberg on Sunday afternoon from 4pm (after the Journal goes to press so check the web site).

In FFV State Leagues, South Springvale emerged triumphant from its trip to Warragul, knocking off United 2-1 via goals to Konstantinos Daskalakis and Konstantinos Stratomitros respectively. Sotuh Springvale sits fourth in FFV South East State League 1 and faces Langwarrin at home on Saturday.

Yet another starry night... Fernando

By MICHAEL FLOYD FERNANDO Bale became just the second dog to break the 29 seconds at Sandown Park with an emphatic victory in a heat of the group 1 Harrison-Dawson at Sandown Park on Thursday evening.

In a dazzling display of sustained speed, Fernando Bale equalled the first split record then went within 0.02 seconds of his own second split record before crossing the line in 28.98 seconds just 0.02 seconds outside of Bekim Bale’s long standing track record.

“Each time he comes here he gets better and better… he’s perfect in every way, you just can’t fault him, he’s just amazing,” said his awestruck trainer Andrea Dailly.

RSN Racing and Sport race caller James Van de Maat was equally emphatic in his assessment of the run.

“He’s the best I’ve seen,” he said.

“I was hoping he’d break the record.

“He looks like he’s improving with each run too so I can’t wait to see what he can do next week.”

Fernando Bale opened a

Fernando Bale continues to light up Sandown with yet another exceptional run on Thursday evening. 138867 $1.55 chance with tab.com. au and was backed into $1.25 before easing to his $1.40 starting price. It was the 17th time in his 21 start career he’s started favourite, and the ninth time he’s started odds on. The win was his eighth consecutive victory and 16th overall. After drawing box

one for Thursday night’s final, tab.com.au opened Fernando Bale a $1.15 chance to claim his third group 1 feature. It is the shortest price a greyhound has opened in a group-1 event.

The biggest threat to Fernando Bale’s bid for a third

group-1 title is likely to come from kennelmate Usain I’m Nutty, which won the first Harrison-Dawson heat in a slick 29.30. Taking full advantage of box one, the recent group-2 Launching Pad winner ran home in a stunning 10.38, however his moderate sectional times and awkward box in the final means he will have to be at his peak to upset his kennelmate.

Weston East broke a run of six outs to also score in 29.30, while Caustic Bale showed he’s returning to his best form with a 29.52 win in the other heat.

The $145,000 group 1 Harrison-Dawson final, as well as the $145,000 group 1 Sapphire Crown final, will be run this Thursday evening (14 May). The two finals coincide with the heats of the $250,000 group 1 RSN Sandown Cup - the world’s richest race for stayers - the final of which will be run on Thursday 21 May.

Rangers get high as

By JARROD POTTER MAKING up for a lack of height last year, the Dandenong Rangers have gone tall with the signing of rising star Alex Bunton, who will join the Rangers for the upcoming WNBL season.

With only Lauren Scherf and Amanda Meinking troubling the tall timber in the WNBL, incoming coach Larissa Anderson rectified the problem, signing a 196cm centre.

At only 21, Bunton has signed on with her fourth WNBL club, Dandenong, after WNBL stints with the AIS, Canberra Capitals and Adelaide Lightning. Her addition will create a power-packed front court with Scherf and returning US import Annalise Pickrel.

“She’s a great size… only 21-years-old too, so she’s a great prospect,” Anderson said.

“Legit five (centre), with lots and lots of potential to get better.

“She’s super excited about a new start and working hard… I’m very excited to see what we can get out her.”

Anderson admits the remaining item on the Rangers’ shopping

list is an influential swingman to fill the number-three position, but could be ticked off the list as soon as this week.

“A three-man,” Anderson said.

“We’ll see how we go.

“We’re looking ok, but hopefully we’ll have an exciting signing coming next week and hopefully that’s happening over the next few days.”

Anderson’s SEABL women had equally impressive signs on Saturday night as the Rangers knocked off perennial contender Geelong 85-75.

Anderson, who was named SEABL Coach of the Month for April, saw her Rangers continue an impressive start to the year with the 10-point win. Seeing off the faster-finishing Supercats, Jacinta Kennedy (31 points, 8 rebounds) and Aimie Clydesdale (22 points, 8 rebounds) were exceptional alongside Clare Papavs (17 points).

The men were unable to best Geelong in the second match on the card, downed 79-101 despite the best efforts of Daequon Montreal (21 points, 9 rebounds) and Chuck Long (19 points).

JOCs stand tall

By JARROD POTTER VAFA DIVISION 2 - Round 5 CHALLENGED earnestly for the first time this year, St John’s had to dig deep to comefrom-behind to knock off Richmond Central.

A perilously-even clash threatened to go either way, but in the end Ben McGee’s men stood victorious after a four-goal final term clinched the seven-point triumph.

Rohan Scott continues to be a lace-out target for the JOCs as he bagged six goals, while powerful defender/ruck Daniel Cattolico also impressed alongside Rhys Dyker and Cameron Christiansen.

The win keeps the JOCs atop the VAFA Division-2 ladder as the only unbeaten side and will host third ranked Old Paradians in St John’s biggest test yet.

VAFA DIVISION 4 MASALA’S ascension to Division 4 is proving a tough pill to swallow, following a 70-point loss to North Brunswick. Jordan Toikalkin (three goals) was at his mercurial best - breaking the lines and running for days - while James Logan and Zachary Kelly also stood out.

Masala will host Box Hill North this weekend.

EFL DIVISION 1 - Round 5 BLITZING North Ringwood, the Bulls showed its might in Eastern’s Division-1 competition, isn’t fleeting.

The visitors would bag 20 goals as Kyle Martin (four goals) - regained top spot in the league’s goal kicking - with Ziggy Alwan (four goals) and Dan Keely (three goals) also having fun in the forward half. Craig Anderson, Sam Monaghan and Tim Harper were the main powerhouses pushing Noble Park to the 107-point triumph.

Noble Park now heads up the mountain to face one of its main bogey sides from 2014 - Montrose.

TAC CUP - Round 7

Blowin’ in the wind

By JARROD POTTER HARD-FOUGHT, wild and windy. It may not have been a skilful spectacle for the ages, but Dandenong did claim its status as a TAC Cup contender with a 21-point triumph over the previously unbeaten Eastern Ranges.

Despite the best efforts of Samuel Weiderman - who booted five goals in a losing effort - the Ranges could not mount the scoreboard pressure necessary to restrict the Stingrays.

Using the wind to their advantage in the third term, Dandenong booted away as it rattled off six goals to a solitary Ranges’ behind as James Freeman, Darcy Warke, Bailey Rice, Jake Di Pasquale and Josh Battle all split the sticks in a scintillating period.

Needing to hold on despite the winds picking up and making scoring at the Eastern Freeway end virtually impossible, the defence was resilient under tremendous attack. Jordan Rouse, Keiran Collins - in only his second game this season - and Melbourne father-son prospect Jake Lovett repelled with aplomb from the defensive end to give the Stingrays a chance through the final stanza.

In the end, Freeman would get on the end of an amazing run-from-defence by Bailey Rice who has been in the metro media sights this week as speculation swirls about his father-son decision between Carlton and St Kilda.

Freeman’s goal would sink Eastern’s hopes and give Dandenong its biggest scalp of the year.

Freeman and Zak Roscoe (two goals each) maintained their score-laden seasons as the main forward targets alongside Battle, who put up a tough contest all day as he flew for numerous contested grabs.

“Our second half was definitely better than our first, our work-rate back and our intensity lifted so it was good for us,” Dandenong coach Craig Black said.

Kurt Mutimer attempts to get the handball off. 138869 “I just thought Eastern was a really good footy team and we haven’t beaten them out there (Box Hill) since I’ve been involved, so it was good that the boys applied themselves and that’s what happens when you play a team-style of footy.

“Hopefully that’s a platform for the season.”

Black also praised the versatility of Harry Prior - who this week switched from defence into the ruck with the absence of prime tapping pair Jayden Bubb and Gach Nyuon.

Moving back into the TAC Cup top six, with a 4-2 record, Dandenong will hope to stabilise its spot against the visiting Western Jets on Saturday morning from 11.30am.

SFL DIVISION 3 - Round 5

Falcons get blown away

By JARROD POTTER A HOWLING result - both wind wise and on the scoreboard - as Endeavour Hills squandered chance-after-chance against Ashwood.

With a monstrous zephyr buffeting Barry Simon Reserve, all the Falcons and Magpies could do at the scoreboard end was to defend for their lives.

Spraying everything that came its way, Endeavour Hills suffered at the goal-face with 20 behinds going through to let Ashwood off the hook.

Without titan forward Daniel Morrison - derailed by a quad-injury - the Falcons’ didn’t have the mercurial accuracy needed to get the job done.

Even with the wind in the final term, Endeavour Hills could not outscore Ashwood as the visitors booted four-goals-one to an embarrassing two-goals-seven.

Shane Peake (four goals) held up his end of the bargain and continued a strong showing thus

far in SFL Division 3 while Cade Marshall, Cedric Legrand and Nathan Crutchley were admirable across the field.

Endeavour Hills has fallen from the top-four following consecutive losses and now sits eighth in the pecking order before hosting Lyndale at home.

In other Division-3 results, Dandenong claimed its first win of the year - knocking over Southern Dragons by 58 points. The Redlegs were too strong for the returning Dragons as Chris Arnold (three goals) and Cameron Riley led the charge following a five-goal opening term to put the match beyond doubt. Sandown’s Fevola-less forward-line suffered a five-point loss to Moorabbin while Lyndale just scraped across the line against Hallam, 10.6 (66) to 4.9 (33).

SFL DIVISION 2 KEYSBOROUGH continued its merry march through the SFL with a 27-point victory over Skye.

Endeavour Hills’ Mitch Whatman spoils Ashwood’s Matt Menzies. 138871 Picture: JARROD POTTER Tyson King (five goals) is blitzing all and sundry in the division while Will Gayfer, Shaun Witherden and Daniel Morland were best afield.

Springvale Districts - defeated by Murrum-

beena by 63 - and Doveton Eagles - lost by 66 to Highett - continued to struggle and are both at the foot of the SFL Division 2 ladder after five rounds.

THE three big German marques are at it hammer and tongs in the Australian sales race at the moment.

No more so than in the crossover SUV field.

The very British Land Rover is starting to get involved as well with its just introduced Discovery Sport.

So it’s no surprise that Lexus has joined the fray with additional models, sharp pricing and a major advertising campaign.

When launched the Lexus NX crossover came only as a hybrid, the NX 300h.

Lexus NX 200t, the subject of this week’s road test, arrived a few months later and follows the European route of using a relatively small engine but turbocharging it to add power and, most importantly, plenty of torque.

With a price list starting at $52,500 for the 2WD NX 200t, the new Lexus range is well priced in comparison with the German and British opposition.

The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder Lexus engine has a power output of 175 kilowatts, and 350 Nm of torque.

The latter is produced all the way from 1650 to 4000 rpm, a handy range for the average driver who seldom exceeds 4000 revs, so maximum grunt is there all the time.

An automatic transmission with only six forward speeds is becoming relatively rare these days so some will feel the NX is behind the field in having one.

Like many current SUVs the Lexus NX is sold with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. However, the Australian importer has put its emphasis on all-wheel-drive so the 2WD comes in just the one spec level, the Luxury.

The all-wheel drive comes as Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury variants. Our test car was the topline Luxury Sport.

One of the first statements Akio Toyoda made when he took charge of Lexus was that he didn’t like his cars being described as conservative.

That word will not be used when describing the Lexus NX. The huge ‘spindle grille’, deep swages in the doors and the sharp kick-up at the rear are more likely to be called radical than conservative.

Note that the high window-line created by this style may make it difficult for smaller children to see out. It might be an idea to take the littlies on your pre-purchase test drive to see what they see, or don’t see.

Inside there’s the usual high quality Lexus design and materials set out in a design that’s not as radical as the exterior but which works well.

The Lexus control system for the satellite navigation and other infotainment functions isn’t particularly easy to use although, presumably, regular owners of the cars will grow accustomed to it.

Lexus NX 200t Luxury and F Sport have a 10-speaker Pioneer audio system.

MOTORING

Gem back for a star turn

By EWAN KENNEDY THOUGH it’s still about 18 months before Holden shuts down its Australian assembly lines, the company is already making major moves to ensure it remains a leading force in car sales.

One of Holden’s biggest moves is the reimportation of Astra models designed and built

by Opel in Europe.

Though it’s a German company, Opel has been controlled

by General Motors for almost 90 years.

Close design co-operation between Holden and Opel has worked well for Holden for decades, particularly in the Commodore field where the original models were virtually Opels with Aussie engines and beefed up suspensions.

Holden Astras sold were sold by the tens of thousands for many years until the decision was made in 2010 to cease imports and instead bring in lower-cost small and medium cars from GM factories in South Korea.

An abortive attempt to revive the Astra nameplate was made in 2012, with Australian imports now carrying Opel Astra badges.

The Opels had higher price tags to give the impression they were prestige European imports. Just 10 months later Opel disappeared backwards, slashing prices of Astras to pre-

Holden levels to clear the last of the stocks.

Now the Astra is back and is again proudly badged as a Holden.

Cleverly, the marketing people have chosen to only import the sports coupe variants, sold as Astra GTC and GTC Sport with a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol engine and the hot Astra VXR with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol.

Styling of major importance in any sports coupe and the Opel folks have done an exceptional job.

A low nose and tall tail joined by doors with bold swage lines that form a semielliptical shape make a definite statement.

If the lines look familiar that’s because you’ve seen them on Opel-badged cars.

This overall Astra shape has been around for more than five years yet still looks bang up to date.

An all-new model is anticipated in about 12 to 18 months and we are really looking forward to seeing it.

Inside, there’s a large instrument panel with large speedo and tacho, as well as other gauges, also in a sporting circular design.

The 1.6-litre turbo engine has a useful 125 kW power and 260Nm torque if you buy an automatic.

That lifts to 147 kW power and 280 Nm torque if you

Model range GTC 1.6-litre turbo-petrol twodoor coupe: $26,990 (manual), $29,190 (automatic) GTC Sport 1.6-litre turbo-petrol: $29,990 (manual), $32,190 (automatic) VXR 2.0-litre turbo-petrol twodoor coupe: $39,990 (manual)

Styling of Holden Astra coupes is excellent with bold lines in all areas. choose the six-speed manual.

Way up in power is the Astra VXR, with genuine hot-hatch numbers of 206 kW of power and an impressive 400 Nm of torque, the latter running from 2400 to 4800 revs - this is the sort of engine that thrives on revs, though even below 2400 it’s happy enough to trundle along at traffic speeds.

Obviously chasing genuine revheads, Astra VXR comes only with a six-speed manual gearbox. That sort of power and torque demands a genuine sporty ‘chassis’ for the VXR with 20-inch wheels and Opel’s FlexRide system that lets drivers choose from three ride settings: Standard, Sport and the

Multi-task master.

A-Class Act.

track oriented setting titled ‘VXR’.

The latter gives you faster steering and throttle inputs.

Brembo front brakes are part of the package.

We spent some serious driving time on the Holden Performance Driving Centre (PDC) at Norwell on the Gold Coast.

The Astra VXR is be a ‘real’ hot hatch, with huge amounts of road grip and a near neutral stance unless pushed extremely hard, when mild understeer creeps in.

Braking could be left well beyond the marks set by our driving instructors without the slightest sign of fade.

This is the sort of car that

‘talks’ to you through the steering wheel and the seat of your pants - we love it.

As the final tuning of the Astra VXR was done at the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife track in Germany, our findings at the considerably smaller and simpler Norwell PDC came as no surprise.

Astra GTC has 18-inch alloy wheels, the Holden MyLink infotainment system with a seveninch colour screen display with satellite navigation and Pandora, Stitcher and TuneIn Radio apps.

The GTC Sport gains 19inch alloys, a body kit, alloy pedals and leather trimmed seats.

As befits a hot-hatch, Holden Astra VXR has an over-thetop sports body kit, alloy pedals and a bespoke VXR steering wheel.

Holden’s new Astra is an exceptional sports coupe with everything you would expect from a thoroughbred European machine.

It has style, performance, handling and comfort. Should you regard yourself as a keen driver the VXR is certainly the one to covet, but there’s a lot to be said for the GTCs as well.

Will a five-door Astra hatch join these three-door coupes downunder?

For the time being the Astra is being sold as a convertible as well as the coupe described here.

You will be spoilt for choice at Mercedes-Benz Berwick as we have secured a number of A-Class vehicles with a wide range of colours and options all available for immediate delivery.
