Residents in dark over site sale

BY JASON TURNER RESIDENTS near Springvale’s former depot site appear to have been the last to learn of Greater Dandenong Council’s plans to sell the large tract of land.

Last week, the council received a petition with 229 signatures against the sale of the site, estimated to be 20,220 square metres of disused vacant land between Springvale Town Hall and View Road, opposite the Sandown Greyhound Racing Club.

McDonald Real Estate Springvale director Harry Li estimated the site’s value at more than $10 million if it was zoned commercial, or up to $6 million if used for low-density housing.

When the Journal spoke to residents near the property, most were unaware of both the petition and the council’s plans to sell the site.

Nearby resident Arena, who did not want her surname published, said: ‘‘We haven’t heard anything about it, haven’t been advised by anyone.’’

However, she added ‘‘there’s no use in leaving it [the site] like that’’.

The depot site borders the rear of her property.

She said she would not be against the sale but wanted the proceeds directed to the Springvale area. Other residents suggested the land could be turned into shops or public housing.

Lightwood Ward councillor Youhorn Chea opposed the sale because he believed the land should be used by the community. ‘‘I believe that in Springvale, especially Springvale central, there’s not much open space and nice gardens would be good,’’ Cr Chea said.

He said that when the council moved to the

A GREATER Dandenong councillor is calling for the state government to team up with private developers to help pay for removing problem level crossings.

Paperbark Ward councillor Peter Brown said the removal of notorious crossings like the one at Heatherton Road in Noble Park might have to be funded by developers building in and above railway stations. ‘‘It’s the only realistic way to pay,’’ Cr Brown said. ‘‘It’s the only answer.’’

Last December, the state government released a document that indicated moves to investigate possible stations that would be attractive for private development. These public-private partnerships could result in industrial land being rezoned for commercial or residential development.

Cr Brown said such developments could also provide more affordable housing for the area.

There were a number of crossings in the Dandenong area that needed attention but he acknowledged it was a state-

wide issue. ‘‘As a Melburnian, not just someone from Dandenong, everyone needs it. All councils need to work together and get the best outcome.’’

He believed the Noble Park crossings at Heatherton and Chandler roads were some of the worst in the area. ‘‘It’s becoming very problematic,’’ Cr Brown said of Heatherton Road, where he estimated boom gates were down almost 24 minutes during peak hour.

Dandenong MP John Pandazopoulos agreed with the idea of public-private partnerships helping fund grade separations. ‘‘In principle, I don’t have a problem with it,’’ he said. ‘‘Obviously not all sites would be commercially viable. When it suits they should definitely look at it.’’

Transport Minister Terry Mulder said there was ‘‘scope’’ for the private sector to contribute to infrastructure projects like grade separations and a ministerial committee was being set up to see how much investment interest there was.

new municipal building in Dandenong, the old Springvale offices could be turned into a larger community centre with a renovated library, and part of the depot land incorporated into it. His fellow Lightwood Ward councillor Sean O’Reilly was undecided, adding that the matter was yet to be discussed by the newly elected council.

The council’s engineering services director Bruce Rendall said upgrades to the city hall and library would be discussed when draft ideas for the site were presented in the first half of this year.

Good for you, Kalyan. This should make David Koch sit up and take notice.

Full disclosure on donations As a recent [council election] candidate I’m aware that all candidates, whether successful or not, must submit a ‘campaign donations return’ form within 40 days of the election. A campaign donation valued at $500 or more is an ‘applicable gift’. Receipt of an applicable gift can mean that you have a conflict of interest.

If transparency is to be taken seriously it would be a good idea for the Victorian Electoral Commission to consider capping the amount of money candidates — or political parties or interest groups — can spend on the campaign. The disparity that prevails makes contesting an unequitable process and does nothing to encourage and empower a wide diversity of people to stand in the elections.

Any and every amount equivalent to the nomination fee and above must be declared.

Importantly, political parties and other entities should technically be allowed to support and endorse only as many candidates as there are

vacancies. This would remove the scourge of having running mates to manipulate the final outcome of the preferential system.

If these reforms are made legislation, this would help to advance local government, achieve better transparency and improve the quality of good governance.

Geraldine Gonsalvez, candidate in the 2012 Greater Dandenong Council election

VCAT fees hike The recent decision by the state government to raise Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal fees to lodge an objection to a proposed development is a very disappointing one for residents trying to oppose inappropriate development.

Using increased costs is a poor excuse — too often a user-pays approach results in reducing the rights of community members who cannot afford to pay the higher costs that result. In Greater Dandenong, there are many residents who, although they may be ‘asset rich’, are income poor.

To cope with such a VCAT fee hike, they would need to sell the very property they are trying to continue to enjoy living in.

seek time, Traders up in arms over parking Thunder case adjourned

BY JASON TURNER SHOPKEEPERS in a Dandenong street are angry that a parking shortage is forcing worshippers from a mosque to use spaces reserved for their customers.

Cleeland Street traders say some of the congregation from the Emir Sultan Mosque in Hopkins Street are ignoring half-hour parking restrictions in front of their stores, driving away potential customers. The shopping strip is in a high traffic area with Chisholm TAFE, Dandenong Hospital, Dandenong Oasis and two schools all within a one-kilometre stretch.

Kan’s Tasty Foods owner Kan Ramasamy said Fridays were a major problem and that his takeaway business suffered during this period. ‘‘I prepare all this food but then I lose the customers. I lose a lot of money,’’ he said.

A regular customer, who did not want to be named, said the problem was so bad that he considered shopping elsewhere. ‘‘I don’t want to spend 10-15 minutes looking for a park.’’

Another shopkeeper, Wally Chauly, said the whole area suffered from a lack of parking and that the mosque’s congregation had little option but to park wherever they could. ‘‘If the council came out here on Friday and enforced the restric-

Picture: Wayne Hawkins tions, we wouldn’t have a problem,’’ he said. A council spokeswoman said the street was patrolled as often as resources allowed.

Emir Sultan Mosque imam Salih Dogan said he was unaware that members of its congregation had ignored restrictions. ‘‘We try our best to be mindful of the local community. I will let our congregation know about their concerns.’’

Cr Matthew Kirwan said a number of businesses in small shopping strips were experiencing parking issues and acknowledged it was important for their survival. He believed there could be more parking problems when the mosque expanded. ‘‘It’s essential the council work with shop owners to ensure that there is appropriate parking restrictions and that they are enforced.’’

DANDENONG Thunder Soccer Club’s second appeal against the banning of fans from its home games has been adjourned after the club requested more time to finalise its case.

The hearing with the sport’s national body Football Federation Australia — scheduled for last Wednesday — would have also decided whether the club’s $45,000 fine would be reduced. The club’s legal team asked for the appeal to be pushed back, stating more time was needed to assess extra information received from Football Federation Victoria. ‘‘Basically, we were seeking time to get more information from the FFV and be able to assess that,’’ club spokesman Cezar Jakupi said.

The FFV had fined the club $40,000 and ordered a 10 home-game lockout after Thunder fans allegedly fired rocket flares — one injuring a 10-year-old girl — during last October’s Victorian Premier League grand final at AAMI Park.

After the club appealed in December, the FFV reduced the home game ban but increased the fine to $45,000.

Mr Jakupi said the penalties were still ‘‘manifestly excessive’’ and if upheld would devastate the club.

The rescheduled hearing date will be announced this week.

THE cluster of orange berries stands out from the shiny green foliage.

Thriving in many Melbourne parks, there’s nothing sweet about sweet pittosporum in this area. The berries drop and the noxious weed sprouts, overrunning and choking all locally indigenous vegetation.

I was perusing a copy of the Journal from October 1998 when an item about a group of local ‘weed busters’ caught my eye.

The Friends of the Dandenong Police Paddocks were planning to don their garden gloves to clean up their patch as part of Weedbuster Week. They were frustrated that the weeds had stifled native plants and wiped out habitats.

It’s a timely reminder for us to uproot this trespasser from our neighbourhood.

Ex-navy apprentices roll back 50 years IT was 1963 — almost 50 years ago exactly — that Gary Saunders signed up for the structure and rigour of navy life, but to him it still feels just like yesterday.

The memories came flooding back for Mr Saunders, of Dandenong North, and his fellow Australian Navy apprentices when they gathered at the Dandenong Club for their 50-year reunion last month.

Since holding their first reunion in 2000, the group of about 20 men get together every six months, swapping stories and revisiting old tales.

As Mr Saunders says, it ‘‘keeps the comradeship going”.

Mr Saunders and his future mates first met in 1963 at the Quakers Hill base in New South Wales.

About 800 men were based at the self-sufficient quarters, with men spending four years completing an apprenticeship, then another four in service. They travelled the world, some of them seeing active conflict in

Vietnam and Malaysia. Mr Saunders joined the navy to follow his childhood dream of becoming a boatbuilder. He remembers the structure and routine of military life, but also the lighter side.

Another colleague, Bruce Lewis, recalls the time first-year apprentices upset a duty officer after a prank went wrong. All his roommates ended up spending the early hours evading the senior officers by running laps of nearby airstrips, kilometres in length.

Mr Lewis said those sorts of memories were unforgettable and “it bonds you together.”

“You develop affiliations and friendships with people and at the time you don’t really accept the concept that these are people you are going to remember, from time to time, for the rest of your life.

“And it’s just nice to see them again.”

Fellow apprentice Eric Shaw, originally from Penguin in Tasmania, recalls the time he arrived at the base.

“It was a big adventure,” Mr Shaw

FEATURESTORY

Texting drivers: r u crazy?

It’s inter-connected oblivion. More and more people are being caught using their mobile phones or texting while driving.

It costs them a $282 fine. Sometimes it costs them — and others — their lives. CHAD VAN ESTROP reports. ichard Lee’s job is measuring people for their new wheelchairs. Some of them come to him after diving accidents or falls and others as a result of car crashes.

And a few of that last group come to him because the person who caused the crash that crippled them was talking on a mobile phone or texting at the time.

Mr Lee can put himself in their place. Ten years ago he was in a line of slow-moving traffic on a curve on Templestowe Road, Bulleen. A four-wheel-drive coming in the other direction failed to take the curve and ploughed into him.

Its driver wasn’t looking, too busy chatting on his phone. He turned Mr Lee into a paraplegic.

So he can honestly tell those clients he knows exactly how they feel. But recently a man came shopping for a wheelchair and left Mr Lee lost for words. He admitted that he had been driving while using his phone, oblivious and distracted, and it cost him the use of his legs. ‘‘He’s the only one I ever had who admitted to that,’’ says Mr Lee. ‘‘And you have to bite your tongue really. You might pass a comment like ‘Well, that was a bit foolish, wasn’t it’ — huge understatement. But really, what can you say?’’

Mr Lee is not usually so backward in coming forward. When he pulls up beside other drivers and sees them chatting on their mobiles — or, worse, texting — he winds down his window and gives them a spray. If they don’t get the message he points to his wheelchair on the seat beside him.

Not that it does much good, he admits. Every week more than 1100 drivers are pulled up by police and charged with illegal phone use. During the most-recent police safety blitz — Summer Stay, which ran from mid-November to January 7 — 6077 motorists were charged with mobile phone offences. They face a $282 fine and loss of three demerit points.

And worse. Some face a meeting with someone like Mr Lee, to be measured for a new seat of wheels: ‘‘Unfortunately, it appears mobiles are increasingly going to become a much more common cause of serious injury on our roads,’’ he says. ‘‘And, of course, death.’’

For years, a series of studies has shown the dangers of mixing mobile phones and cars. A British study in 2002 found using a hand-held mobile while driving was more dangerous than driving with a blood-alcohol content of .08. It said reaction time was 30 per cent slower than someone with that level of alcohol and twice as slow as a sober driver.

In 2009, a Virginia Tech study in the US showed that dialling a mobile while driving increased the risk of a crash by almost three times. Simply talking on the phone made the risk of a crash 1.3 times as high.

In heavy vehicles the risks multiply. A truck driver dialling a number is six times more likely

THE DANDENONG JOURNAL \ FEBRUARY 4, 2013

You’re nicked: Allen Inderswisch of the Cardinia highway patrol is on the lookout for phone-distracted drivers.

Campaigner: Richard Lee was turned into a paraplegic when a driver talking on a mobile phone ploughed into his car.

Picture: Craig Sillitoe/The Age to cause a crash as an undistracted driver and reaching for the phone makes it seven times more likely.

Text messaging while driving is far worse. It increases the risk of a crash by 23.2 times, the study found. A simulator study by the Monash University Accident Research Centre found texting drivers spent 400 per cent more driving time with their eyes off the road. ‘‘You cannot read or write an SMS without taking your eyes off the road,’’ Transport Accident Commission road safety manager Samantha Cockfield told The Age in 2011. ‘‘In a 100km/h zone, in four seconds with your eyes off the road you’ve travelled about 200 metres. That’s a long way to travel without actually having anybody in real control of the wheel.’’

Yet today the potential for drivers to be

distracted by such devices is at an all-time high, with social media, emails, texts and GPS technology all available on smartphones.

TAC communications adviser Emily Bogue says increased technology and an “it won’t happen to me’’ mentality was fuelling the problem of driver distraction.

The latest available police statistics show that 55,222 drivers — an average of 151 a day — were nabbed for mobile phone offences in 2011.

But much of the problem seems to be attitudinal. A TAC survey in 2010 found 43 per cent of drivers said they believed driving with a handheld mobile was ‘‘extremely dangerous’’ and another 42 per cent said it was moderately dangerous — yet, despite knowing the dangers, one in five drivers admitted making calls while driving; 34 per cent said they would take a call; 32 per cent said they would read an SMS; and 18 per cent said they would write one.

Inspector David Griffin of Victoria Police highway patrol says drivers have an “automatic reaction’’ to reach for their phones while driving and often disregard the dangers. “There seems to be this preparedness by drivers, particularly younger drivers, to take the risk.

“People don’t seem to understand the risks associated with using a mobile while driving — or if they do understand they are willing to take a chance they might not get caught.”

And even after being caught and fined many don’t seem to learn. Inspector Griffin says he is

surprised by how many reoffend. “We detect a lot of people who have had tickets for using their phones in the past.”

In Cardinia, highway patrol officers booked 446 drivers last year for mobile phone offences. ‘‘People don’t like to be out of communication and as a result they are reluctant to pull over and take calls,’’ says Sergeant Allen Inderwisch of Cardinia police. ‘‘They see every call or text as the most important one they will receive.’’

Sergeant Inderwisch says he regularly sees drivers pulling out of car parks and driveways talking on the phone. ‘‘We can’t understand why people don’t just take that extra few minutes and take the call while stationary.’’

Inspector Griffin says Chief Commissioner Ken Lay has urged all sections of the force to increase the focus on road safety enforcement.

“More than ever before we are seeing police from other areas focus on road policing. ‘‘There is an expectation for other police [outside highway patrol] to deal with road policing matters.’’

This meant phone users were more likely to be detected: ‘‘We have hopefully moved from the possibility to the probability of being caught.”

While it is illegal in all Australian states and territories to use a hand-held phone while driving, many people don’t realise that in Victoria that extends to using the phone while the vehicle is stationary but not parked, such as at traffic lights, says Inspector Griffin.

But he is also cynical about the selfishness and thoughtlessness of many drivers, saying that increasing the $282 fine would not necessarily change driver behaviour.

“There is no evidence to suggest that if the penalty was $1000 people would do anything different.”

While it is difficult to quantify the contribution of mobile phone use to the road toll, Inspector Griffin suggests that anecdotal evidence shows that distracted drivers might be as responsible for as much as 25 per cent of deaths on the road.

Road Trauma Support Services Victoria, a Blackburn-based not for profit organisation, provides support and counselling for bereaved family members, witnesses, drivers and emergency service personnel who attend crashes, and also runs seminars and education for those convicted of traffic offences.

General manager Cameron Sinclair has no doubt that there are people on both sides of that client-base because of mobile phones. ‘‘We don’t take a policing role but are concerned at any type of behaviour, whether it’s speed, alcohol or distraction through technology that puts passengers, drivers or anyone else at risk,’’ he says. ‘‘I have a five-year-old son and I’d hate to think that he is being put in danger — not to mention myself — by these people.’’

Time slips away to a snaky year

SPRINGVALE was the place to be yesterday as thousands turned out to mark the start of this year’s Lunar New Year festival.

The central shopping district was transformed into a hive of activity in celebration of the local festival’s 22nd birthday, held a week before the Lunar New Year proper.

It heralds the start of the Year of the Snake, meant to signify a year of steady progress. It already looks that way for Springvale, with the design for the long-awaited Asian gateway to the suburb finally revealed yesterday.

The gateway, which will be constructed at the entrance to the shopping district at the Buckingham and Windsor avenues intersection, has been on hold since 2011 awaiting funding.

Springvale local Stan Chang, who has been involved with the festival for 15 years as spokesman for the Springvale Asian Businesses Association, was excited about the project. ‘‘It’s a very graceful design,’’ he said.

The association’s president Tom Huynh said he had expected up to 80,000 to attend the festival. ‘‘It is one of the largest community events to celebrate the lunar calendar.

It’s a very good family event for everyone in the region.’’

While this year’s festival included traditional cultural events such as the lion dance and kung fu fighting, it also had some more modern cultural offerings like hip-hop and breakdance.

INBRIEF Man faces murder charge Police have charged a Hampton Park man with the murder of missing Noble Park woman Robyn Hall.

Paul Dalton was denied bail at an out-of-sessions hearing at Melbourne Custody Centre last week.

Ms Hall has been missing since December 19 after she vanished from a Philip Island home. Police said Dalton owned a van that was allegedly linked to her disappearance. Police are still investigating.

Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

CFA unit attended and contained the fire to the garage.

Surfie stuck in drainage An 18-year-old man had to be rescued by police on Thursday after getting caught in a drainage area near Corrigan Road and Memorial Drive, Keysborough. The local resident was attempting to surf during heavy afternoon rain. Two police units attended the scene at 6.50pm. The man, who was not hurt, was warned over his behaviour.

Fine-dodgers in dragnet The Sheriff’s Office has caught seven motorists for outstanding infringements worth more than $85,000 after an operation in the Dandenong area.

Four of the motorists had wheels clamped for unpaid fines worth more than $37,500. Another three were warned their licences would be revoked if they could not pay outstanding warrants within seven days. The seven drivers had 292 outstanding warrants among them.

Woman assaulted at home A Springvale woman was attacked with capsicum spray in an aggravated burglary at her home. A group of several men and a woman invaded the 25-year-old woman’s Gray Street home about 1am on January 18 and sprayed her before assaulting her. Nothing was stolen. Police believe the female of the group may have known the victim.

A ‘red-ink’ report House fire deemed suspicious Police are investigating a suspicious house fire in Noble Park North on the morning of January 25.

CFA crews were alerted to smoke coming from the garage of a Rainsford Drive house between 5am and 7am. Arson investigators believe someone gained access through a side fence and used matches to set alight a wooden chest of drawers in the garage. The house was empty at the time. One

BY JASON TURNER GREATER Dandenong Council has approved the sale of a Springvale street to a nearby secondary school, much to residents’ disappointment.

Last week, the council decided to discontinue its current use and gave the green light to Minaret College to buy Birch Street for $380,000.

The short street leads directly to the school’s entrance and has primarily been used for parking by school staff.

The sale allows the college to push ahead with plans to knock down two of three abutting houses it already owns, and build an expanded car park with at least 30 spaces and a drop offpick up point for parents.

Nearby residents, however, are concerned about directly abutting the college, fearing it will devalue their properties and affect their amenity.

Claude D’Souza said he was concerned about increased noise and possible safety issues with the college as next door neighbours. ‘‘We don’t like the idea of the school all around us. A car park right nearby is not really safe.’’

The council said any problems of antisocial behaviour in the car park at night would be prevented by closing access to the area outside school hours.

Phoung Doan, owner of two neighbouring units, said real estate agents had told her bordering the school would decrease land value.

She said there was ‘‘a huge difference’’ between being near a school and being neighbours with it.

The school’s plans include retaining the third house, a caretaker’s residence which abuts Ms Doan’s and Mr D’Souza’s unit block, but Ms Doan was sceptical about the long-term future of the building. ‘‘They could change their mind in the future and develop something else there and we’ll have no say,’’ she said.

Minaret College director Mohamed Hassan said the school was happy the council had approved sale of the street. ‘‘It’s quite important, it allows us to build more facilities.’’ Mr Hassan said the inclusion of a caretaker’s residence ‘‘addressed’’ the concern of Ms Doan.

COMMUNITYVOICE

Carving a niche for ourselves in new land Welcome back to the Journal’s Community Voices, our monthly column celebrating the city’s diverse cultures and lifestyles. This month, Keysborough’s Kalyan Ky — a ChineseCambodian writer, social activist and Greater Dandenong young achiever of the year in 2011 — reflects on what it means to be Australian.

BORN in the middle of the forest at the foot of a south-east Asian mountain range with only a checked scarf to cover me, it never occurred to me later in life how much of an Australian I would become and how much Australia Day would mean to me.

Through my work, I’ve heard many stories of people’s journeys to Australia, from sailing on a boat in intrepid waters to running across distances through minefields; and of living in makeshift holes, people’s garages and migrant hostels. But all these stories have one thing in common: that we have finally arrived at our destination, which we call home.

I celebrated Australia Day this year by marrying the love of my life in a small civil ceremony at my nana’s

Emerald property, surrounded by close family and friends. We had the Cambodian ceremony two years ago.

My dad aptly compared that in the Cambodian ceremony, the groom walks down the aisle, and in the Australian one, it’s the bride. This illustrates the beauty that Australia is — as a nation we can celebrate these differences and unions.

Last Australia Day, I gave birth to my daughter Sophia, who is a mixture of Cambodian, Chinese, German,

Proud Aussies: Kalyan Ky and Sophia.

Tradition: Spreading the cheer during the couple’s Cambodian wedding ceremony.

Danish, Scottish and English cultures and she couldn’t be more beautiful.

The Australia Day before this, I was at the Dandenong Town Hall to receive an award from the council for my work in promoting multiculturalism and giving young people a voice.

Again, this was a surprise to me and such a contrast: as a little girl I grew up in Thai and Malaysian detention

camps, and later the western suburbs of New Zealand, but now here I was being honoured for being a good Australian.

And that’s what living in the City of Greater Dandenong espouses — that in one evening we can dine at Cambodian restaurants and the next we are enjoying Italian takeaway. This month we are celebrating the Chinese new

year and the next, St Patrick’s Day. We came to Australia on different routes, but we have brought our identities, cultures and dreams to enrich each other’s lives and create a new identity.

Being Australian is for me embracing our differences and coming together to celebrate them.

This is what I hope the ‘Faith and Culture’ creative encyclopaedia — a project I am working on — will show and encourage all young people to contribute their stories.

COVER STORY

DESIGNER LIVING \ 32 WILLUM WAY, DANDENONG SOUTH 3175

N

early complete, this estate in Dandenong South is really making headway.

An eclectic mix of double and single-storey brick veneers have pleasing facades.

Builders and tradesmen are busy, with contemporary designs springing up all the time.

Thoughtful streetscapes have nature strips without gutters, so rain soaks in rather than being channelled away as runoff. The power is underground and surrounding parklands are shaded by huge river redgums. Across the grassy way is Dandenong Creek.

The newness of the housing stock has meant energysaving features can be built in from the word go.

This two-year-old, two-tone rendered brick veneer over 27 squares has a 7-star energy rating, saving money on power and water.

Entry is via a porch with glass and timber door and hallway with floating timber floors. Everything is spotless.

At left is the lounge room with downlights, carpet and windows to the street. Next is the main bedroom with walk-through wardrobe and en suite.

Further along the hall are three other bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and connections for phone, internet and TV. There’s a laundry with cupboards, separate toilet and fully equipped family bathroom.

The kitchen and family room are large and bright, with Caesarstone benchtops and splashbacks, Emporite cupboards, pantry and underbench oven.

This area opens via security door to a covered patio with space to relax overlooking the backyard.

The double garage with panel lift door has internal access.

Extras include ducted heating and vacuum, evaporative cooling, intercom, fibre-optic cabling and solar-boosted gas hot water.

Roller shutters aid security and recycled water is on tap.

The estate — with its park focus — is close to shops, EastLink and schools and not far from the centre of Dandenong.

A devoted gardener

BY MARG STORK ‘‘A LITTLE man with a big heart’’ — these were among the words used to describe Reginald Coldwell, a well-known Greater Dandenong identity.

Mr Coldwell, 63, who lived in Noble Park, died of a heart attack late last year. He had cared for gardens at homes of residents in the City of Greater Dandenong and environs, in some instances, for 25 years.

The popular landscape gardener and racing car driver was generous and kind, affectionately known by the nickname ‘Glovebox’.

Mr Coldwell was a member of the Gippsland Car Club and raced his cars at the Sandown Park track, as well as at Phillip Island.

He was born at the Mooroopna Hospital, the son of Ronald Thomas and Nancy Eileen Coldwell. His school days were spent at Harcourt, near Castlemaine, and, as a young man, he joined the Royal Australian Navy, serving for 20 years.

One of the boats he served on was anchored offshore during the Vietnam War. Mr Coldwell purchased his home in Heyington Crescent, Noble Park, where his friendly, pleasant nature made him popular with his neighbours.

OBITUARY Reginald Thomas (Reg) Coldwell March 9, 1949-October 29, 2012

Of a family of four boys, Mr Coldwell’s surviving brothers are Leslie, who has lived in Mildura for 26 years, and David, of Perth.

Le Pine Funeral Services of Dandenong were in charge of the funeral at the Bunurong cemetery chapel, Carrum Downs, in November and a civil celebrant, Pastor Gavan Grosser, officiated.

Rangers tune for finals

BY ROY WARD DANDENONG Rangers have two weeks left to prepare for the WNBL play-offs.

The Rangers, who are fighting to hold second place and a double chance in the new WNBL top-four system, have road games against Townsville Fire and Logan Thunder this weekend and then host thirdplaced Adelaide in the last round.

The Rangers got a comfortable 87-67 win over the undermanned Thunder at Dandenong Stadium on Friday night and did so without import centre Krista Phillips, who was out injured with a hamstring strain.

Phillips may also miss the road trip to Queensland if her hamstring is not 100 per cent by the end of the week but that won’t worry to the Rangers too much after 18-year-old

Carley Mijovic (10 points, 11 rebounds, three steals, four blocks) impressed in her first start at centre.

Rangers coach Mark Wright said his side now had two weeks to be ready for the play-offs and the chance to win rare back-to-back championships.

“I think we ended up getting some stuff done defensively which we didn’t do in the first half,” he said after the Thunder game.

“We are still a work in progress and we are two weeks away [from the play-offs].

“Overall it was a positive win and I thought Logan played really well as well.”

Wright praised Thunder import Laurie Koehn, with the WNBA star shooting five three-pointers in her 22 points.

“Goes to show how fantastic

Laurie Koehn is – I think we pressured her as much as we could and she still drilled 22 points,” he said.

Wright said the Rangers’ second half defensive performance gave him confidence about the weeks ahead.

“We didn’t score as much but we stepped it up and played the type of defence which we need to play to go deep into the finals,” he said.

The Rangers play Townsville at Townsville on Friday night and play Logan Thunder in Logan on Sunday afternoon.

Impressive start: Dandenong centre Carley Mijovic impressed in her first start for the Rangers on Friday night.

Audi makes a powerful statement New S7 aces the look-at-me test, writes Ewan Kennedy

S

tyle was the number one talking point during time with the big Audi S7 four-door coupe. We were able to display it at two totally different venues, and it came as no surprise when the bold shape of the hot version of the Audi A7 passed the look-at-me tests with flying colours.

High school formals are major social occasions where showing your ownership of the latest and greatest is important to many people.

The new Audi S7 chauffeured by my partner Julie transported her nephew in fine style.

Julie’s car, the just launched Audi S7 coupe, appeared near the top of the list of star automotive attractions.

The first time around we only had the Audi for that single evening, but have just been able to spend a week in it for further evaluation. Again we found it to be a real star in the styling stakes.

We took it for an evening cruise to one of our favourite cafes. The number of people who stopped and looked over the Audi coupe would have made its designers extremely pleased.

The bold grille, big wheels and added details in the luxurious cabin leave no doubt this is the high-performance version of Audi’s largest sports coupe.

The big Audi coupe is not just about show, though, there’s plenty going on under that shapely bonnet that also deserves discussion. Buyers will appreciate the extra urge from the tuned V8 engine and the sporting feel given by dynamic suspension and steering settings.

Audi is using an all-new version of its efficient twin-turbo V8 engine to power the S7. The V8 drives through a seven-speed double-clutch automatic transmission.

The sleek big four-door sports coupe has plenty of engine power and an abundance of road grip.

The new high-performance Audi S7 coupe is an excellent addition to the Audi A7 range and seems sure to attract the attention of those looking for the S7’s clever blend of sporty and elegant motoring.

Prices start at $179,900.

New Forester launched Murray Hubbard reviews Subaru’s toned-down XT turbo ubaru has launched its high-performance XT variant of the Forester SUV and hopes, with a new 2.0-litre turbocharged direct injection boxer engine, new transmission and overall refinement, it will do for Forester what WRX did for Impreza in the 1990s.

As a performance model of the family AWD wagon, the XT currently claims about 7 per cent of all Forester sales. Subaru hopes to lift this as high as 15 to 20 per cent. It believes by toning

S

Subtle change: Forester XT turbo differs from the standard models in having a subtle mesh grille.

A-pillar has been moved slightly forward. At the rear end the roof line has been lowered for improved aerodynamics. The interior is wider giving occupants more space with new design seats that are 60mm higher.

This is the fourth generation Forester since the original model was released back in 1997. It consistently sells more than 10,000 units a year here.

down the styling the XT will appeal to more buyers not wanting overt performance styling. As a result the bonnet scoop has been eliminated from the new model.

Subaru launched the garden-variety Forester models in December, and the XT turbo variants launched last week differ in external appearance by the subtle use of a mesh grille. At the business end of the XT are steering wheel paddle shifters linked to the CVT automatic transmission. For the driver this is where the fun starts, although the Forester XT covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.5 seconds, quite a bit slower than WRX. The standard XT is priced from $43,490. The XT Premium will set you back $50,490 before on roads.

The all-new Forester XT has significant gains over the previous model. Fuel consumption is down by 19 per cent on combined cycle.

Maximum torque is up by 9.4 per cent and power by 4.7 per cent.

Although this is an all-new model the exterior looks more like a facelift. It is 35 mm longer overall with a 25 mm longer wheelbase while the

The new Forester is more refined than the third-generation vehicle in all respects. The cabin is quieter, the new engine smoother and quieter, and handling – which was already a strength for Forester – has been improved even further.

The Forester XT is a highly refined performance SUV in the medium-size segment with no real competitors in its price range.

Basketball stadium shut down HAMPTON Park Basketball Association has been left in limbo with its stadium desperately needing repairs.

The stadium’s management was recently taken over by Hampton Park Secondary College, which closed the facility because it believed it was unsafe.

But the closure means Hampton Park Basketball Association and the South Eastern Filipino Basketball League of Australia have nowhere to play their competitions, which were due to begin over the weekend.

Hampton Park Secondary College principal David Finnerty said the school was doing everything in its power to get the stadium to a level where play could resume.

He said limited funding and Basketball Stadiums Victoria’s lack of maintenance during its tenure had left no option but a temporary closure of the stadium, which is on the school’s premises. ‘‘The roof of the stadium poses a threat to any people in the hall,’’ he said. ‘‘We’ve already sought quotations and as I indicated we’re working with Hampton Park Basketball Association and the local council to get this situation fixed.’’

The Journal spoke to several concerned members of the Hampton Park Basketball Association who believe Hampton Park Secondary College is holding them to ransom.

They say the college is demanding they foot the bill for the stadium repairs and public liability insurance.

Hampton Park Basketball Association committee member Colin Sires said it was crucial for the area that the stadium was reopened quickly. ‘‘The games are due to start this weekend but they won’t go ahead this weekend,’’ he said. ‘‘The junior competition is what we’re more concerned about — a lot of the kids walk to the stadium and those kids will probably end up playing around on the streets.’’

Mr Finnerty said a meeting was due to take place between all parties this week in an attempt to remedy the situation. ‘‘There is not a lockout of anyone and the facility when we took it over was absolutely filthy,’’ he said. ‘‘We’re trying to work with all parties with very limited funding to get it right. ‘‘Sport, particularly in this area, has a crucial role to play and it gives kids an outlet where they can absolutely enjoy themselves.’’

Moving up: Jake Calvert is pictured playing TAC Cup football for Dandenong Stingrays last season.

Stingrays star signs with Clays

BY ROY WARD CLAYTON coach Ben McGee believes he has landed one of the recruits of the Southern Football League season, although how many games he gets from former Dandenong Stingrays star Jake Calvert remains an unknown.

The Clays have signed Calvert for the coming season but will only have his services when he is not selected for Victorian Football League club Frankston Dolphins, where he has also signed.

Nonetheless, McGee said signing Calvert, a versatile and strongly built key position player, was a coup for his club, especially after losing reigning SFL division 1 best and fairest winner Aaron Purves to Port Melbourne.

Calvert was one of the players considered to be on the cusp of AFL draft selection last November before being passed over. ‘‘He could be the best recruit in the league this year,’’ McGee said.

‘‘I think he will push into the Dolphins’ VFL side and become a regular player. ‘‘And when we can get him into our side he knows he will be a big part of our game plan.’’

McGee said he also hoped to form a partnership with the Dolphins in which younger Clays players get sent to the VFL club and players looking to come back to suburban football could come to the Clays.

The 19-year-old Narre Warren North resident Calvert said he decided to make Clayton his second club because of his connection with McGee, who coached him in Hallam Secondary College’s football academy. ‘‘Ben asked me if I wanted to go and get a coffee and we talked about footy and about Clayton,’’ Calvert said. ‘‘Benny has always been there for me and done everything he could for me when he coached me in school footy and the Stingrays under-16 side so I was happy to head to Clayton.’’

After missing out on a list place or rookie list

position in the AFL, Calvert wants to spend 2013 working on the areas of his game that didn’t impress recruiters.

He impressed in three matches for the Dolphins last year under the VFL ‘‘23rd man rule’’ in which a VFL club can play a TAC Cup player so the player can gain exposure to senior football.

Calvert said he was working hard in the Dolphins’ pre-season program and wanted to stake his claim for a highly prized place in the Dolphins senior side, which has helped several players earn AFL places in the past few seasons. ‘‘Hopefully, I’m playing at Frankston but they will have a strong side this season, so if not I’ll be happy to go back to Clayton and play there,’’ Calvert said.

McGee said he would keep an open mind on how he used Calvert and would seek out instructions from Dolphins coach Simon Goosey. ‘‘Jake can play ruck, centre half-forward or centre half-back, so where I play him will be decided by which position Simon wants him working on.’’

Club favourite midfielder back with Thunder DANDENONG Thunder has re-signed star midfielder Mathew Theodore and hopes to have him fit for round one of the Victorian Premier League season.

The 23-year-old former Melbourne Victory player seriously injured his hip during the VPL finals and missed the Thunder’s VPL grand final win over Oakleigh Cannons.

Theodore joined the Thunder ahead of the 2011 season and has become a club favourite, winning the players’ player award last season.

Theodore told Thunder Media he looked forward to the season ahead and was slowly getting back to

full training after surgery on his hip. ‘‘I hope to be right for the start of the season,’’ he said. ‘‘I’m just taking things slowly at the moment and hope to get it right and have an uninterrupted season.’’

Thunder coach Chris Taylor told Thunder Media he looked forward to seeing his star midfielder back on the pitch. ‘‘Matty is a terrific young kid who had an outstanding season last year and we’ll be looking for more of the same this season when he recovers from his op,’’ Taylor said.

■ Former Springvale City junior and Socceroo mid-

fielder Vince Grella retired from professional football last week.

The 33 year old played 46 times for the Socceroos including the 2006 and 2010 world cups, along with more than 200 games in the Italian Serie A competition and time in the English Premier League with Blackburn Rovers.

Grella had signed to play with A League club Melbourne Heart this season but tore his calf muscle against Western Sydney on January 26, playing out the match but deciding to retire. Grella told The Age he decided ‘‘then and there’’ to retire.

Chase poses litmus test for Panthers

BY ROY WARD DANDENONG Panthers will get the chance to prove their Premier Cricket finals credentials when they resume against Ringwood on Saturday.

The Panthers are 1-30 chasing the Rams’ total of 237 on a slow Shepley Oval wicket.

Rams opener David King made a stoic 106, batting until the 75th over to anchor the Rams’ innings.

Panthers star opener Tom Donnell (15) was bowled by Rams all-rounder Ian Holland with the second last ball of the day.

Panthers captain Darren Pattinson said his side had to chase the total if they wanted to be seriously considered as a contender. ‘‘We have 200 runs to get with nine wickets in hand — top four sides chase down scores like that,’’ he said. ‘‘We probably gave up a few too many, we should have kept them under 200.

“It was disappointing to lose Tommy, he has been in good touch, but the game is in the balance now and we will have to bat well next week.”

The Panthers will lose James Pattinson, who will leave for India with the Australia side, while Darren Pattinson will most likely be selected for the Victorian side and travel to Adelaide, so both will need replacing, possibly with batsmen.

Darren Pattinson said he was disappointed his bowlers could not take their wickets quicker but felt the pitch gave them little assistance.

He did praise young seamer Nathan

Lamden, who continued his good form with 4-29.

“He got the ball to reverse swing early in the day,” Pattinson said.

“He has done the job for us all year.”

Rams captain Ben Osborne said King’s innings was outstanding and showed his quality as he battled both Pattinsons.

Osborne believed the late wicket has swung the match in the visitors’ favour.

“Getting Donnell out was a massive wicket,” he said.

“He is one of the form batsmen in the competition and it gives us extra confidence heading into next week.”

Charith Cooray (15 not out ) and Brett Forsyth (0 not out) will return to the crease when play resumes at Shepley Oval this Saturday at noon.

■ Endeavour Hills is within sight of victory in its Victorian Sub District Cricket Association clash against Brunswick at Sydney Pargeter Reserve.

The Eagles are 1-70 heading into the second day of play after bowling out the visitors for 172 behind the bowling of Matt Peake (3-14) and Richie Saniga (3-21).

Justin Merlino (28 not out) and Neil Peake (25 not out) are set at the crease for the Eagles when play resumes this Saturday at 1pm.

Noble Park is in trouble in its clash against Coburg at Coburg City Oval with the Burgers making 245 all out, then having former Australian bowler Mick Lewis snare the wicket of Parkers opener Dirk Vandergert to leave the visitors at 1-15 at stumps.

Parkers’ bowler Eranga Pelpola took 5-12 in the Burgers’ innings.

Picture: Rob Carew

Ridges hits straps as finals loom BUCKLEY Ridges captain-coach Marc Calkin believes his side is hitting top form as the DDCA turf 1 finals approach.

The Ridges won the Churchill Maintenance & Fabrication Twenty20 grand final last Wednesday, beating Lyndale by 59 runs on Wednesday, then put 4-375 on Springvale South on Saturday, expanding from their firstday total of 1-169.

Calkin said he liked what he was seeing from his side as the season enters its most important weeks. ‘‘We really knuckled down with the bat on Saturday.

We are starting to peak at the right time of the season,’’ he

said. ‘‘After making the runs last week we wanted to give the boys a good bat on Saturday.’’

Ridges batsman Greg Todd was in exceptional touch, making 158 not out after starting the day on 75 not out.

Calkin made 94.

Todd also top-scored in the Twenty20 grand final with 58. ‘‘Greg is a class bat,’’ Calkin said. ‘‘He is hitting the ball well and plays the ball nice and straight. He is patient as well; he would have faced 300 balls on Saturday.’’

Calkin said the Ridges were also happy to come away with the Twenty20 title after falling short in the statewide competition earlier in the summer.

Hawks rue poor batting as pursuit of Mordialloc’s 121 ends in a tie

BY BRAD McGRATH HALLAM Kalora Park and Mordialloc have tied in a thrilling Dandenong and District Cricket Association clash at Hallam Recreation Reserve.

Hallam Kalora Park was chasing a meagre 121 for victory but a disastrous batting display kept the visitors hoping for a miracle win.

Hawks captain-coach Johan Vorster was disappointed with his team’s batting performance with only Leigh Booth (61) showing any resistance in tough batting conditions. ‘‘You just have to take it on the chin,’’ he said.

‘‘There is a reason why Mordialloc are in a finals spot and we always knew they wouldn’t give up the 80 runs we needed easily. ‘‘They managed to pull out a draw, which is I suppose better than not getting any points. ‘‘Myself and a couple of other senior players didn’t score runs when we needed to and it was left to the young guys.’’

Mordialloc opening bowler Chathura Athukorala was the star with 7-37 in one of the best bowling displays seen this season. The Hawks were cruising at 7-118 before Athukorala snared the last three wickets for just three runs to tie the

scores. ‘‘It’s the first time in my life that I have played in a draw,’’ Vorster said. ‘‘I’ve got this funny saying that a tie must be like kissing your sister.’’

Dandenong West belted 5-365 in response to Coomoora’s 159 with Alex Roberts making an unbeaten 129.

Doveton successfully chased down Narre Warren’s 9-257 with Jason Arnberger (78) the catalyst for their three-wicket win.

Parkfield’s decision to declare their first innings just nine runs ahead backfired on them spectacularly in their clash against North Dande-

nong. Despite dismissing North Dandenong for 100 in their second innings and needing just 92 for victory, Parkfield was bowled out for just 68.

Heinz South Districts defeated Berwick by four wickets.

DDCA Turf 1 ladder: Dandenong West 42 points, 2.34 per cent; Buckley Ridges 36, 1.79; HSD 36, 1.24; Mordialloc 36, 1.13; Berwick 34, 1.11; Springvale South 30, 0.83; Parkfield 25, 1.15; Narre Warren 24, 0.81; Coomoora 24, 0.67; Hallam Kalora Park 18, 1.00; Doveton 15, 0.72; Nth Dandenong 12, 0.45.
