Walk talks volumes By BRIDGET COOK WHEN Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon finished up her mayoral term in October, she left behind a great legacy. One of the highlights of her mayoral term, the Mayor’s Walk for Disability in August raised much-needed awareness and money for the critical service gaps in Casey facing people living with a disability and their carers. Cr Stapledon, who is the carer for her son Pete, trekked 75 kilometres, for two weeks, visiting prominent community centres, organisations, businesses, services, educational institutions and landmarks to speak with the community and highlight these key issues. Given the mayor’s profile, the walk drummed up huge support from the local community and successfully attracted some funding commitments from the State and Federal governments for improved services in early intervention, employment, supported accommodation and respite. The council resolved in August, that the walk would become an annual event. It is for this reason that Cr Amanda Stapledon has been chosen as the 2013 Berwick Cranbourne News Person of the Year. Cr Stapledon thanked Star News Group for the honour. “As a mayor or councillor, I would never expect to receive any such recognition for the work that I have been elected to do, but I do appreciate this privilege so very much,” she said. “The Star News is a wonderful paper that covers so many community issues and none more than the Mayor’s Walk for Disability. “The response to the Walk is still being discussed by community members even now which highlights the importance of the pressing issues facing people with a disability and their carers and how things need to improve and that they need our support. “When I was elected to council, I committed to representing everyone and I have endeavored to do just that. “But when there is an issue that sees people with such a need, it deserves extra focus and effort to try to improve their lives and that is what I hope that walk has done. “There is no greater service than to service one’s community.” While the walk was one of the highlights of

PERSON OF THE YEAR her mayoral term, it was not Cr Stapledon’s only achievements as mayor. Following quite a tumultuous year for the council in 2012, Cr Stapledon took on the role as mayor at a challenging time. Following the election, there was almost a completely different council voted in, with five first-time councillors, two returning councillors and only four councillors re-elected. Cr Stapledon has been credited as one of the driving forces behind returning harmony to the council and supporting and guiding the new councillors into their roles. Current mayor and close friend and colleague Geoff Ablett said Cr Stapledon was a worthy recipient of the recognition. “I believe Cr Amanda Stapledon to be quite an extraordinary human being,” he said. “I say this as this is my sixth year working with her and she has a real concern for the welfare of all people, and works extremely hard to make a positive difference in the lives of all the people she comes into contact with. “The Mayor’s Walk for Disability was just another huge example of supporting those who need support on an ongoing basis to make a real difference to their quality of life. “Her concern for the welfare and teamwork with her fellow councillors made her a fantastic mayor who could really lead and be part of the team. “She certainly set an example of leadership that I will, and those who follow will, try to emulate. “With Amanda, what you see is what you get, and she will never change from being the outstanding human being she is. “She will always do outstanding things for the City of Casey.”

2013 – The year that was…

All change for suburbs By BRIDGET COOK THE possibility of their suburb name being changed to Casey Fields caused much angst for Cranbourne East, Clyde North and Clyde communities in 2013. While the proposal of the suburb boundary between Cranbourne East and Clyde North being changed and the new area being given a new name has been going on for more than two years, it came to a head in 2013. The council surveyed all af-

fected property owners in July to see their preference on three different suburb name options - Casey Fields, Cameron and Ridgway. Casey Fields won with 60 per cent of the vote and the council put out a public notice in November to inform residents of its intention to rename Cranbourne East and part of Clyde North and Clyde as Casey Fields. Villawood Properties, which owns Pasadena estate, lodged a formal submission to the City

of Casey against the estate being included in the new suburb boundary, particularly because it was only made aware of the plan in November. A petition, signed by hundreds of residents from the Selandra Rise, Cascades on Clyde and Pasadena estates, was presented to the council in December against the boundary change and name change. The process will continue this year, with the council yet to make final decision on the matter.

The possibility of Cranbourne East and parts of Clyde North and Clyde being named Casey Fields made headlines last year.

Action over swinger claims A CRANBOURNE play centre made headlines around the country in June when it was alleged the owners were advertising swinger parties at the facility. But the owners of Casey Kids Playhouse maintained their innocence over the allegations and said they had met with foul play. Explicit photos of the couple appeared alongside an advertisement inviting swingers to join them for a party at the play centre that would be held monthly once they reached six couples. The advertisement stated that the party venue had many features including a laser light show, fog machine, giant ball pit and jumping castle. It went viral on social media with angry parents expressing their disgust over the advertisement, forcing the business to shut down its Facebook page and website. The owners said that they had been framed and, while the photos were of them, that they were from a private collection that had somehow been stolen. The News spoke to a local mother Allison, who did not want her surname used, who said she and a friend went undercover when they were made aware of the advertisement on website Craigslist.

Disco lights still shining THERE were a lot of unhappy youths in Casey when news broke that the party was over for the Cranbourne Blue Light Disco. The News reported in June that the last disco would be held at the Cranbourne Public hall that month after it was given the marching orders from its venue operators. The Cranbourne Public Hall Committee gave the disco organisers three months’ notice in April that the event could no longer be held there for a number of reasons, including that the use was in-

consistent with other hall users and the damage the event caused to the venue floors. Cranbourne Blue Light Disco committee member Ian Gration spoke out about the disappointment from disco committee felt at the news, which attracted about 500 kids monthly for the past six years. Mr Gration said the disco committee had tried to work things out with the hall committee with no success. “We’ve asked them to come to mediation with us

and solve the problem but we’ve just hit a brick wall,” he said. “We’ve offered to pay extra in rent to have the floor maintained but they have still said we are not compatible and have to go.” There was no disco held in July. After lots of pressure from local families and youths, the two committees were able to reach an agreement and the disco went ahead again in August and will continue into 2014.

Allison said her friend emailed and pretended to be a single woman interested in the party.

2013 – The year that was…

Wot! No war here RADIO talkback and Facebook vitriol reached boiling point in October following reports in the Herald Sun that Wot a Kebab and George’s Fish and Chips in The Avenue shopping centre, in Cranbourne North, were at war over whether the latter should be able to sell souvlakis. Ryan and Shane Barrington, owners of Wot a Kebab, said they had been portrayed as bullies and that there was no dispute between them and the Sleiman brothers from George’s Fish and Chips. “There’s no beef, no rivalry between the two shops. It’s

one big misunderstanding,” Ryan said. “There’s nothing going on between us, we’re mates getting on with business.” Talk of a souvlaki spat fired up when word got out that centre management had approached Alex and Ali Sleiman from George’s Fish and Chips and requested they no longer sell souvlakis since there was a kebab store next door. The Sleiman brothers had their current menus approved by management before they opened in October, of which souvlakis were a major component, and agreed there was no feud between the stores.

and said it was not feasible to relocate the skate park as the demolition itself would cost about $20,000. The council resolved to instead contact Cranbourne police to discuss trialling an after-dark curfew for three months at the skate park to see if it deterred anti-social behaviour. Another report came back

ROTARIANS across Victoria were mourning the loss of an adored Cranbourne member in February who was tragically killed while involved in two of his greatest loves - cycling and helping those in need. Jared Dunscombe, 31, was killed when he fell from his bike and was struck by a truck and trailer travelling in the same direction while taking part in the Rotary fundraising event - Ride to Conference. His mother Kathy, whose was president of the Cranbourne club at the time, said Jared would be dearly missed by their family and Rotary clubs across the state. Mr Dunscombe had once beaten the odds to live after he was hit by a car when he was seven years old and doctors gave him no chance of survival. He spent three and a half weeks in a coma and doctors said he would never walk or talk again. However, he defied medical odds and not only survived but went on to live quite a remarkable life, including completing the Kokoda Trail, the Portsea Swim Classic and the San Remo Channel swim. He became involved with the Cranbourne Rotaract Club at a young age and was also involved in a group call TRAG - Teenagers Road Accident Group - which saw him visiting schools and speaking to students about the dangers of modern driving. Hundreds of grievers turned out to the Peninsula Country Golf Club for his memorial service. His sister Jonelle bought the room to tears as she spoke of her beloved brother. “After surviving the accident all those years ago, I often reflected on how lucky we were to have Jared as part of our family,” she said. “I always thought that Jared must have had a special reason to be here and that his life had a real purpose. “Now, having had him taken away from us so tragically, I can only think that he has been taken away from us so soon to leave this unbelievable

THE continuing dispute between neighboring residents of the Brookland Greens skate park and youths who use the park was an ongoing newsmaker in 2013. The City of Casey was forced to investigate relocating the skate park in September after users repeatedly vandalised and disrupted neighbouring houses. Resident Patricia Smith said at the time they had all had enough. “We’ve had rocks thrown at our house, our rubbish bin pushed through our front window, our fence has been punched in and we’ve been abused by some of the users,” she said. “They hit our fence as they came past and set off our dogs. We tell them to move on and this is what happens.” Another resident, Judy Meehan, said she believed the skate park needed to be moved to an open space. “There are plants being ripped out of gardens, graffiti all over the park, broken glass everywhere and the bins trashed,” she said. A report came back to a council meeting in October

2013 – The year that was…

Meeting spills into court THE controversy sparked from the fateful City of Casey council meeting in April 2012 continued to make news in 2013. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard two cases in 2013, which we sparked as a result of that meeting. An investigation was launched into the council’s chief executive Mike Tyler in relation to his handling of a previously settled VCAT sexual harassment claim by a former council staff member against him and the council in 2011. At the same meeting, former Casey councillor Paul Richardson had to be forcibly removed from the chamber by police after he refused to leave when he was asked to. He was later charged over the matter. Both cases went to Dandenong

Magistrates’ Court. Casey councillors backed Mr Tyler’s ongoing tenure in October after he escaped conviction for failing to properly disclose a conflict of interest to the council and the mayor. Mr Tyler was not fined but placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond and ordered to pay $1000 to his partner’s fund-raising efforts for National Breast Cancer Foundation. He was also given a stay of two months to pay $9000 in agreed costs to the prosecuting agency the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate. The court heard Mr Richardson’s case in November, where he was convicted for willfully trespassing at a council meeting and resisting police arrest and ordered to pay a $3000 fine.

Magistrate Lesley Fleming said she considered sending Richardson to jail but for his early guilty plea, which cut short what could have been a four-day hearing. Richardson, a Justice of the Peace, originally pleaded not guilty. Following the hearing, Casey councillors moved to strip him of his Justice of the Peace status by reporting the conviction to the Department of Justice. Mr Richardson said he would rather go to jail than pay the fine. At one stage, Mr Richardson, accusing the court of bias, said: “I’m considering calling a mistrial,” he said. “I have done nothing wrong. If I’m guilty I ask God to strike me dead in front of you, Your Honour and everyone here. I’m not afraid of dying.”

Casey councillors backed CEO Mike Tyler’s ongoing tenure in October after he escaped conviction for failing to properly disclose a conflict of interest to the council and the mayor.

The announcement was not without controversy, though, with Greater Dandenong councillor Matthew Kirwan asking his colleagues at a meeting in June that a letter be written to the State Government asking it not to help fund Casey’s plans. Cr Kirwan feared that his council’s major project plans could come under threat by the Casey Cultural and Civic Precinct. The proposal is similar to City of Greater Dandenong’s new municipal building plans which will feature a new library, café, civic offices, retail space, community rooms and a civic square which is hoped to become a Federation Square of Melbourne’s south-east.

Thompsons Road

By BRIDGET COOK FREESTYLE motocross champion Cam Sinclair has slammed a Casey council decision to reject plans for motorbike ramps on his Cranbourne South property. Casey councillors voted unanimously to reject Mr Sinclair’s planning application at the Tuesday night planning meeting - despite a council officer’s recommendation to grant the permit. Mr Sinclair put in an application to the council for permission to construct two jump ramps, a foam pit and a dirt landing ramp on his property to use to practice jumps for his profession as a freestyle motocross rider. Ms Sinclair is a Crusty Demons star and took out the X Games ‘Best Trick’ event winning himself the illusive gold medal in 2010. The council received 32 objections to the motorbike facilities from local residents - the main reason councillors voted to refuse the application. Objections were based on concerns including noise, that it would decrease the value of neighbouring properties, excessive amounts of dust and that it would set precedent in the area. The officers still recommended that the permit be granted with a number of conditions including that it could only be used four days a week, between 10am and 3pm and for no more than three hours a day. The application also stated that only Mr Sinclair would be allowed to use the ramps and no spectators were permitted on the property.

people, a pavilion, 500 seat covered grandstand, spectator mounds and car parking. With a vision for the hub to be the region’s premier rectangular field venue, the council said it would cater for higher level of competition and training for soccer, rugby league, rugby union and gridiron. The venue would also have four other soccer fields, three synthetic and one natural grass, with eight change rooms incorporated. The Regional Sports House is designed to accommodate state and local sporting associations, industry bodies, sports related education, sports science, service delivery providers and multicultural youth officers. The Sports House would have a 50 seat lecture theatre, four in-

THE City of Casey has grand plans for a sports and soccer hub at Casey Fields to cater for tournaments, carnivals and events. In the lead-up to the election, the council is seeking a funding commitment from the Federal Government for its proposed Casey Regional Sports Hub and Soccer Centre of Excellence project. The $26 million project would see Casey Fields become home to a new feature pitch, four community multi-purpose soccer fields and a Regional Sports House. The council is seeking $13.1 million contribution towards the project to allow it to go ahead. The feature pitch would include a rectangular field stadium for 4000

ternal offices, a 20 seat open work plan area, three meeting and board rooms, overflow social rooms for programs, functions and events and kitchen and amenities. City of Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said the council was disappointed the project recently did not receive Regional Development Australia Fund money. “Council will continue to advocate to the Federal Government for funding towards the project through other funding streams,� she said. “The proposed $26 million Casey Regional Sports Hub and Soccer Centre of Excellence project is a bold and innovative project that includes a number of multipurpose facilities that will deliver important economic and social outcomes for the entire southern region’s 1.3 mil-

lion people. “With 33 key stakeholders registering interest, the Sports House could significantly drive participation and sports development outcomes for the region. “Located at Casey Fields, the premier outdoor sports facility of Melbourne’s south-east, this project would complement the current sporting and recreation facilities at the 76-hectare site.� Cr Stapledon said the Federal Government election provided an opportunity for the council to leverage several of Casey’s key advocacy priorities, with this project being high on that priority list.

Ms Davis said a quick response from the CFA managed to contain the fire to just the bungalow, but their house received significant smoke damage and they were unable to live in it. $29,990 “My son lived in$29,990 the bungalow

IT’S so much more than a little white ribbon. Hundreds of people throughout Casey, Cardinia and the City of Dandenong wore the now iconic symbol on Monday in collective support of White Ribbon Day, part of the crucial campaign to end men’s violence against women. White Ribbon Day events were held throughout the three municipalities this week, beginning with a men’s breakfast in Pakenham on Monday, where roughly 70 men signed the Men’s Pledge to prevent violence against women. Later in the morning, 40 people walked down Main St, Pakenham with black and white balloons to display their support of the campaign. In Dandenong on Tuesday, men, women and children marched from Dandenong Market to the Drum Theatre for the inaugural City of Greater Dandenong Walk Against Family Violence, culminating in a series of moving speeches in the packed theatre. Casey Police Inspector Wayne Viney said family violence statistics in Australia were damning, with police taking a report of family violence in Casey, Cardinia and the City of Dandenong about every 70 minutes. “One Australian woman every week is killed by a current or former partner. One in every three women will be a victim of family violence during their life time,� Insp Viney said. “I challenge you to stop and count the number of women in your life, your mother, your wife, your daughter, your sister. The statistics are clear, there is every chance one in every three of the women closest to you will be the subject of family violence.� Insp Viney’s comments were followed by crime statistics released by Victoria Police on Wednesday that show one in three family violence intervention orders were breached in the state from September 2012 to September 2013. For more information and photos from White Ribbon Day, turn to pages 8 through 11.

ACTION-PACKED racing, fashionable fillies and live entertainment lit up the track for the TAB Cranbourne Cup on Sunday despite grey skies above. About 5000 people braved the wet weather for one of the biggest events on Casey’s social calendar. Most stayed out of the rain in marquees, the betting pavilion, where there was live entertainment, and in the recently upgraded bar and dining area. In a wunderbar performance, German import Pakal and his champion hoop Glen Boss stormed home to claim the $200,000 Cranbourne Cup (over 2025 metres) by a massive margin on Sunday. Pakal passed the post more than two lengths ahead of Sertorius and Mourinho. Following the race, Boss said it was the strongest Cranbourne Cup field ever assembled. The other feature race of the day - the $100,000 Apache Cat Classic (over 1000 metres) - immediately followed the Cup. The Stephen Browntrained Canali - ridden by Stephen Baster - led from start to finish. More than 50 men and women took part in the Myer Fashions on the Field, with more than $5000 worth of prizes up for grabs. Myer Lady of the Day was awarded to Park Orchids resident Crystal Kimber and Michael McAlpine, from Richmond, was named the Myer Man of the Day. Cranbourne Turf Club chief executive Neil Bainbridge said while the crowd was down due to the weather, the racing was of a great standard. “Consistent rain throughout the morning and at times during the day put a dampener on our biggest day for the year,� he said. “While disappointed the club didn’t achieve the attendance results

“People are often the creators of fire in the homes,� he said. “It is fairly rare that it is the fault of the equipment.� Mr Owen said there are a number of measures people can take to remain safe while cooking. “People need to be very vigilant - particularly when using things like oil and other flammable items,� said Mr Owen. “They should have a fire blanket in close proximity in the kitchen, and a 1.5 kilogram chemical powder extinguisher.� Mr Owen said that what was also worrying was the reality that some residents’ fire alarms are inactive. “We are finding that right across the board we are getting calls where smoke alarms are faulty and not working,� he said. Mr Owen said the main focus should be that people are aware and take precautions. “Be mindful that we are in the winter months and when people are indoors there are more chances things will go wrong,� he said.

“At the end of the day we do it for the kids and if it gets shut down it’s just going to push the kids out on the streets,� he said. Cranbourne Public Hall Committee secretary John Cooper said the main issue was with the state the disco left the flooring in. “It does great damage to the floors,� he said. “It’s waxed and polished and takes a lot of time and effort to get it back up to a standard for other users to be able to use it, and it can be out for a few days after it. “Its use is inconsistent with other users. That’s the sad bottom line.� Mr Cooper said they were not trying to be belligerent and realised what a great event it was for the community. “We are not trying to ruin things for the kids,� he said. “There ends up being soft drink all over the floor and chewing gum. “It lifts the polish and then we have to strip the whole floor, then mopped and dried, then apply wax and that has to dry and then polish and buff it. That can take up to a few days. “Once we had a wedding planned for the next day and we had to refund them some money because of the state of the floor.� Mr Cooper said the committee believed there was other venues more suited for the disco. Mr Gration urged anyone that could offer them a new venue to call him on 0419 894 974.

REALITY TV may be to blame for the increase in residential fires throughout the City of Casey. Statistics show that for the first half of this year, the City of Casey has had the highest rate of preventable, residential fires across the state for the CFA area - most of which originate from the kitchen. Operations Manager for the CFA Southern Metropolitan region Trevor Owen said the rates are higher across the board, and believes this could be due to an increase in reality cooking shows on television. “Cooking shows are influencing people to stay home and do more of their own cooking,� he said. Since the beginning of this year, the City of Casey has had 83 house fires which have cost the city an estimated $2,831,900. The municipality with the closest number of residential fires to the City of Casey was Greater Geelong with 68. For June alone, the City of

Casey has had 10 house fires which have caused an estimated loss of $227,300. The top cause for the house fires across the state is cookingrelated fires. While Mr Owen listed cooking shows as one possible cause for the increase, he also mentioned resident’s financial status may also play a part. “Financial situations have led people to stay at home,� he said. “It is the outcome of people staying at home more than perhaps they have been in the past.� Mr Owen said for the City of Casey in particular, it is one of the fastest growing cities in terms of residential development and its residents are choosing to stay indoors more. “I think it is the fact that there is an increasing population and more people are staying at home,� he said. Mr Owen said that people are the main cause of most fires within the home, and issued a warning to those who are in and around the kitchen.

THE party is over for the Cranbourne Blue Light Disco after it was given the marching orders from its venue operators in recent months. The last disco was held on Saturday night with the popular event for Casey youths now not having a place to call home. The Cranbourne Public Hall Committee gave the disco organisers three months’ notice in April that the event could no longer be held there for a number of reasons, including that the use was inconsistent with other hall users. Cranbourne Blue Light Disco committee member Ian Gration said it was a shame that the event could no longer go ahead at the hall, where it has been held for the past six years. “We have about 500 kids there on Saturday night,� he said. “Now where are they going to go for fun? They will end up walking the streets. Mr Gration said organisers had so far failed to find another suitable venue and the disco committee had tried to work things out with the hall committee with no success. “We’ve asked them to come to mediation with us and solve the problem but we’ve just hit a brick wall,� he said. “We’ve offered to pay extra in rent to have the floor maintained but they have still said we are not compatible and have to go.� Disco committee member and Cranbourne CFA volunteer Anthony Lake said organisers had tried to get the matter resolved.

“Someone mentioned becoming a welfare pension officer, and here I am now. “We assist serving and non-serving members of the armed, their widows, widowers and children. “What helps me is helping others. “When a person has been in a combat zone he has seen horrific things. “He wants to give back the love, and that’s what I’m doing. “It’s the love I can give back that keeps me going. “It’s those feelings of guilt that it helps, even though we didn’t have a choice.� Today, Mr Godfrey attended the Anzac dawn service and march and Cranbourne. But commemorating the day isn’t something he has always done, and still only participates more for his grandchildren than himself. “I used to shy away from Anzac Day because of what the people did to the returned Vietnam boys,� he said. “They used to say things like Vietnam wasn’t a real war, and terms like ‘baby-killers’ got thrown around. “They shunned us and we got abused. “So many of us just hid away. “Anzac Day still hurts me, but I take part in the march for my grandson. “But I now see it as a day to remember the fallen and to remember the men and women who came home, if they were lucky enough to make it home.� Anyone wishing to get in contact with the Casey Regional Veterans Welfare Centre can call 5995 5174.

lia while over in Vietnam who was killed in action. While Mr Godfrey left the war zone in late 1969 when he was discharged from the Army, the death and trauma followed him home. Eight of Mr Godfrey’s friends and fellow returned servicemen committed suicide in the years after the war. At the age of 45, Mr Godfrey himself found himself considering the same fate. But now he considers himself one of the lucky ones - he survived the war “just� and survived the demons that followed in the many years to follow. “I had a breakdown and was diagnosed with PTSD,� he said. “I was very ill and had to go to the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital, where I spent the next six months. “I had to leave my wife and my children at home, whilst I tried to get back to normal. “Without the doctors and nurses at that hospital, I might not be here today.� Mr Godfrey said many veterans faced similar problems to him because they bottled everything up. “A man can’t cry,� he said. “And when you don’t cry it just all bottles.� But Mr Godfrey said that has something he has learnt to do to help him cope, even tearing up on numerous occasion throughout our interview. Another thing that has helped him in his healing process is becoming a volunteer with the Casey Regional Veteran’s Welfare Centre. “At the age of 50, I said to myself, ‘what am I going to do’,� he said. “I’m on the scrap heap.

Tears of trauma WHAT’S helped Peter Godfrey cope with the trauma he experienced from serving in the Vietnam War is helping and giving back to his fellow servicemen and women. But coping isn’t a word the Cranbourne veteran familiarised himself with until more than 25 years after he returned from the war - after he was at the brink of taking his own life. Since seeking help for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when he was 45 years old, Mr Godfrey now focuses his time to volunteering at the Casey Regional Veteran’s Welfare Centre. Mr Godfrey said that helping others and “giving back the love� is what helps him cope and forget about all the hate and destruction he experienced at a young age. Mr Godfrey was 20 years old when he was called up for national service in 1968. He served as an infantry soldier for about a year in Vietnam. “My time was mostly spent in the jungle,� he said. “We were right in the middle of a war-zone full stop. “A 20-year-old in a war zone sometimes I still get a bit teary thinking about it. “All you had to do was try to survive. “It was a very traumatic experience for a young fella. “Whilst in the army I saw action, but I saw a lot of death. “The death and destruction for a 20-year-old was horrendous and traumatic. It’s unreal.� Mr Godfrey lost a good friend he had met while training in Austra-

Freestyle motocross champion Cam Sinclair is frustrated that Casey council rejected his plans for motorbike ramps on his Cranbourne South property.

“The council told me there would be no problems on this land, as long as I got approval from my neighbours. “It’s just so frustrating that it can’t go ahead now.� Mr Sinclair said it would only be a short term permit as he only has about three years left in him in the sport. “I just want people to understand what I wanted to do on the property.� Mr Sinclair said he will now reapply for the permit in three months when he can and in the meantime visit all his neighbours to explain what he wants and what he is about.

local residents and a lot were against it. “I put this up with an apology to Cam, as I know it was his dream to practice on his own property. “But unfortunately, we have to take into consideration how it affects other residents.� Other reason the permit was rejected included that the proposal would have an adverse impact on the amenity of the area by virtue of creating additional noise and the development and associated use was incompatible with surrounding land uses. Mr Sinclair said he was disappointed the application was rejected and that he believed local resident had a misunderstanding of what he wanted to do on his property. “When the council sent out the letter to residents, they worded it as if I wanted to build a big motorcycle track,� he said. “People might have thought there would be 10 to 20 dirt bikes flying around a track. “That’s completely different to what I do. “I just wanted a couple of jumps to practice on.� Mr Sinclair said he used to practice at his in-laws property in Cranbourne South, but the council told me that was no longer possible as it was green wedge land with high conservation value. “For five years I was riding there and didn’t get one complaint,� he said. “When the council told me I could no longer ride on it, I had a meeting with the council. “They told me the best thing I could do was buy my own property with no zone problems and set up my own ramps. “So I sold my house in Botanic Ridge, spent lots of money on my new property and did the right thing and applied for permits.

Opinion Graffiti trip a bad sign I HAVE been looking at the City of Casey travel registration and noticed that councillor Wayne Smith has spent more than $32,000 on travel over the period he has been a councillor. My question is what benefit have we the ratepayers recieved by all of this travel from 2002 untill now? I also recall Cr Aziz complianed about graffiti on the overpass rail bridge on the Cranbourne - Narre Warren Road in 2013, and I noticed in the travel documents that Cr Smith went on two trips to investigate graffiti. Has Cr Smith ever told Cr Aziz that he went on these trips back in 2004 and 2008? Cr Smith might be able to give Cr Aziz some advice on how to clean the graffiti off the overpass bridge. To all councillors, we voted you into council to be accountable and transparent with ratepayers’ funds, junkets not included. Rex Flannery, Narre Warren South.

Politically incorrect

artists exhibit your art

WHILST I agree that Casey Council’s method of dealing with public questions is completely out of order and should be presented to councilors unabridged, it seems to be a matter of democracy not ‘political correctness’. Political correctness is endemic throughout the Western world! To infer that it does not exist is not only ridiculous but can be extremely detrimental to oneself and organisations. One has to be very careful in regard to negative comments made in public, in written or spoken word. Religious intolerance is also a reality. We live in a country that is loosely described as Christian and in a great many instances apart from weddings, christenings, funerals, Xmas and Easter, a great many Australians seem to be apathetic where religion is concerned. This not the case in some European countries where loose immigration policies have resulted in large numbers of religious extremists who have no regard for the beliefs of the host countries and live in enclaves where their law takes president over that of their adopted country. Political correctness has been a significant factor in the problems that are fast becoming intolerable in Europe! Wake up Australia! Graham Edgar, Berwick.

Ugly tree change AS WAS agreed with the Casey Council at the meeting on 17 July 2012 regarding the street trees, in particular ones in Coowarra Way, Coolong Avenue, Boree Court and Theodore Terrace, it was agreed that a number of trees would be removed and property line clearance would be undertaken. I agree that much of this work has been done, although very few trees were removed. However, these large gums that remain (forest trees) were nice trees in the wrong place. The trimming of the trees has now left us with ugly misshapen trees, still dropping copious amounts of leaves and bark, tree roots breaking up footpaths and impossible nature strips on which to grow any grass on. I have one of these particular trees on my nature strip that I would like to have removed completely. I would be happy to level and replace the grass on the nature strip and plant a suitable tree at my own expense. I have written to Mr Griffin at Casey Council. I wonder what sort of reply I will get to my request. Not holding my breath. Val Stephensson, Berwick.

Say no to booze violence IN REGARD to alcohol fuelled violence, it is encouraging to note that there is a move afoot to close venues earlier. It is also encouraging to note that alcohol is not being displayed on the apparel of the Australian Test cricket team. Next it will be encouraging to see reduced advertising of alcohol at sporting venues in particular. Yes we can do something to reduce alcohol fuelled violence, we can lessen the advertising that is designed to encourage the use of alcohol. Yes, we can do it! Let’s save lives and reduce alcohol fuelled violence. Yes, we can do it! Ron Roberts, Cranbourne.

Begging for a shed THIS is a begging letter. This is the first time, I don’t know what else to do. It’s not for more, it’s for help to get a men’s shed up and running in Cranbourne.

Ray’s say

We have been butting heads with Casey Council for three years, getting nowhere. Please can these Rotary, Lions, Apex or any other organisation help? The council say we will build a new building. When, when, when? They have a building we can use until when, when when? But they say they are nothing to do with. The Apex building was for the community but that is under some committee that no one knows about, it can’t be used. I call on all men in Cranbourne to e-mail the council, tell them we want a men’s shed. If you haven’t got a computer, get your grandkids to do it for you. William Williams, Cranbourne West.

Stop and listen IT SEEMS again that Casey Council doesn’t listen to the ratepayers. On 12 December 2013 workers removed a concrete bus stop on Pound Road, Hampton Park, and replaced it with a glass bus stop. How long before the glass is all smashed? D. Gardner, Hampton Park.

Boost for the blind CONSTRUCTION on Victoria’s only primary school for the blind and vision impaired in Casey received a $1.5 million Christmas present. The funding was a September election promise by local MP Jason Wood and Insight Education Centre for the Blind and Vision Impaired founder Alan Lachman wanted to ensure the funding was received and construction on the facility continued. Due to a delay in registration and a blowout in costs, Insight had to pause construction on the Berwick facility while looking for new funds to pay the construction company, putting the 2014 opening at risk. Mr Lachman travelled to Canberra in November and Mr Wood intervened to secure a meeting with Senator Mitch Fifield MP, who helped rush the payment through and have it signed off by Prime Minister Tony Abbott. “I am extremely proud to be a part of building the Insight school dedicated to the blind and vision impaired in Victoria with Mr Lachman,” Mr Wood said.

“Thanks to Senator Fifield’s hard work with the Prime Ministerial Office and Mr Lachman’s tenacity, we can now proudly say that La Trobe will be the first to house Victoria’s only education facility for the blind and vision impaired.” Mr Lachman said the funding had allowed construction to recommence on the specialist primary school. “Insight Education Centre for the Blind and Vision Impaired is now being built at a very fast pace after receiving the $1.5 million of funding on Thursday 12 December,” Mr Lachman said. “The support we have received from Jason Wood, Senator Mitch Fifield and Prime Minister Tony Abbott has been formidable and greatly reflects the need for a facility like Insight Education Centre in the area and across Victoria.” Insight is the realisation of a dream for Mr Lachman, along with his family, whose vision impaired daughter can receive the education she needs in a supportive environment.

The communities of Blind Bight, Cannons Creek and Warneet celebrated the installation of two automatic fire danger ratings signs and three bushfire information boards at a launch on 13 December. City of Casey mayor Geoff Ablett said the council applied for the $40,000 in funding for the signs through the State Government as the coastal villages were recognised by the CFA as extremely at risk of bushfire. “It is critical that we support these communities to be well prepared,” he said. “Through community consultation, council identified the need for local bushfire information to be available for residents, visitors, tourists and fishermen who frequently use the area. “The installation of the solarpowered automatic fire danger rat-

ing signs and information boards will provide both locals and visitors with the most up-to-date information about weather conditions and provide messaging about what to do should a fire occur. “While the official fire danger period has not yet been declared, it is vital that these new alert systems are available now, so people can become familiar with them, be alert and ready to make decisions about their safety accordingly.” Hastings MP Neale Burgess was at the event6 in Blind Bight, representing Deputy Premier Peter Ryan. “This project will enable local residents and visitors to these communities to make informed decisions and be better prepared ahead of any potential bushfire threat,” Mr Burgess said. “The signs and boards will also raise levels of bushfire awareness and preparedness for tourists and visitors to the region.” For more information on fire prevention, visit www.casey.vic.gov. au/health-safety/emergencymanagement/fires or www.cfa.vic.gov.au

RUTTER RESERVE TOORADIN

THE rumble and roar of supermodified tractors are set to bring Tooradin alive this month. The town’s 16th annual Tooradin Tractor Pull and Truck Show will be held at Rutter Reserve on Saturday 18 January, and is set to be an action-packed day. The feature of the event is the tractor pull, where drivers of hotted-up tractors compete to pull a metal sled, which becomes heavier the further it is pulled, the furthest down the track. Another highlight is the truck show, where some of the best rigs from around the country will compete for the number of prizes up for grabs.

The family friendly event has plenty to offer the whole family, with a street car and hot rod display, helicopters rides, live bands and rides and entertainment for children. Peter McGrath, who is on the organising committee, encouraged the community to come along and join in the fun and excitement. “If you want to see something different, then this event has it all,” he said. “If you think the tractors are just tractors, they definitely are not. These are super-modified, loud, with V8 engines in them. “The truck show also has more than 100 entries, and the owners put so much time and effort into them. “It’s a great day out for the

whole family. There really is something for everyone.” All proceeds from the event go back into local clubs, schools and charities. The Tooradin Tractor Pull and Truck Show will be held at Rutter Reserve, Tooradin. The truck show takes place from 10am to 3pm and the tractor pull kicks off at 3pm and runs through until 10pm. The cost is $25 for adults, $10 for children and $60 for families, with discounts available for those arriving before noon. For more information contact www.tooradintractorpullers.com.au

LIPS, especially the lower lip, are very vulnerable to sun damage especially during the summer months. Repeated damage to the lips from sun exposure can cause blistering, cracking, peeling and ulcers. People often attribute such symptoms to ‘cold sores’ or ’wind burn’ when it is in fact a direct result of sun exposure. Eventually this damage can lead to squamous cell cancer of the lip. The only treatment of this lip cancer is surgical excision which can be very disfiguring. These cancers of the lip can be particularly aggressive and spread early to the local lymph glands requiring radiotherapy. Several hundred Australians die from spread of squamous cell cancers of the skin each year. It is far better to prevent these cancers by habitually applying SPF30+ lip balm in a Vaseline based stick form whenever outdoors. It needs to be applied every hour or so to remain effective. Sun block from a bottle is just not adequate to protect the lips and simply licks off within minutes, and tastes horrible. Protect those lips and report any non healing lesion to a doctor as soon as possible. The Sun Patrol Skin Cancer Clinic is at 48 Van Der Haar Avenue, Berwick. For details, visit www.sunpatrolscc.com.au or call 9769 3358.

With something for everyone from showbags to show jumping the Lang Lang Show is not to be missed.

Raising funds for injuries By DAVID NAGEL MEBOURNE Cup winning jockeys Glen Boss and Damien Oliver will team up when the Jockeys take on the Racing All Stars in the National Jockey’s Trust T20 cricket match at Casey Fields on Monday. The brain-child of jockey Jason Benbow, the event enters its second year with the purpose of raising awareness of the important role the NJT plays in the industry... at the same time raising funds and having a great community day out. A staggering 500 names adorn a memorial statue at Caulfield Racecourse, commemorating those who have paid the ultimate price in riding accidents around Australia. And while most people have phobias that can be neatly tucked away, it’s difficult for jockeys when the signs of danger are eminently prevalent. “There’s not many jobs where you go to work and have two ambulances follow you around,” Benbow said. “It’s something we don’t really think or talk about too much but we definitely take risks. “We enjoy what we do and it’s an exciting sport to be a part of... but there is an element of danger.” The NJT supports individuals and families, not just those affected by a fatal tragedy but also the impact of career ending injuries. Highlighting this is the fact that the two teams, the Jockeys, coached by former Sydney Thunder coach

Shane Duff, and the All Stars, coached by media personality Richard Callander, will compete for the David Taggart Perpetual Trophy. “We actually named the trophy after David to highlight that point,” Benbow said. “David got bucked off a horse at Stony Creek, broke both his ankles and has been told he will never ride again, so it’s not just about supporting families who have paid the ultimate price, it’s about supporting jockeys who are going through difficult times.” The first of the now annual T20 contests was played at Red Hill last year and ended in a tie, but Benbow is under no illusion and realises his team needs to improve if it’s to be competitive this time around. “The result probably flattered us a bit last year, the All Stars had us covered, but we’re taking it a bit more serious this time around,” he said. “Shane’s had us in the nets and blokes like Damien Oliver and Steve Arnold have been hitting the ball pretty well, but we might struggle a bit with the ball, and our fielding’s not that flash. “It’s amazing how we’re prepared to jump on a horse and ride but we’re all scared of a cricket ball.” And the number one target for the jockeys will be? “Bruce Clark. He’s their captain and he’s a bit of a bully. “He’ll be sitting in first slip because he can’t run, trash talking our players, but we’re ready for the banter.”

Jockeys Andrew Mallyon, Dale Smith, Jason Benbow (captain), Michelle Payne and Glen Boss will swap their whips for a cricket bat when they take on a team of Racing All Stars at Casey Fields on Monday. 112609 Picture: WWW.SLICKPIX.COM.AU The day promises to be a beauty with kids’ activities including pony rides, jumping castle, Kelly Sports games and activities, egg and spoon races, three-legged races, sack races and plenty of giveaways and prizes for the kids. A barbecue lunch and dinner and fully catered canteen and cash bar will be available while the day will also see the launch of the Inglis Pin and Win competition for the Melbourne Festival of Racing. Entertainment includes live commentary by the

Punter-to-Punter Team of Con Marasco, Slim Whittle and Dr Turf while cover band Jack Hammer will perform post match. A raffle, auction items, market stalls and what’s sure to be an entertaining awards presentation will cap off a fun day for all the family. Donations to this great cause can be made on the day or direct to the National Jockeys Trust via the website www.njt.org. au. Donations via website are fully tax deductible. Gates open at noon for a 1pm start and entry is free to all.

By DAVID NAGEL REVERTING to plan A has proved just the trick for Cranbourne trainers Colin and Cindy Alderson after their five-yearold mare Counted scored a gutsy win in the $100,000 Kellie Turvey Handicap (1200m) at Caulfield on Saturday. The Aldersons tried plan B -racing on pace- at Counted’s most recent start at Caulfield on 30 November, but the mare raced keenly in the middle stages and failed to finish the race off. Settled back in the field by in-form hoop Vlad Duric, Counted recaptured the form that saw her place in a Group 3 behind Aerobatics and Assertive Eagle in the spring, pinning her ears back in the shadows of the post to reel in the Danny O’Brien-trained favourite Spending. The Aldersons capped off a successful weekend when their four-year-old mare Silver Trinket took out the first on the card at Kilmore on Sunday. Robbie Griffiths continued his stellar form and gave apprentice jockey Josh Cartwright his first Melbourne-metropolitan win when Romancingthestone opened the Caulfield program with a win in the $80,000 Claire Andrews Handicap

The three-year-old Holy Roman Emperor has always found one or two better this time in, having run four placings, including a second to the smart Minaj in the listed Crockett Stakes. Cartwright rode the filly a treat, being on pace throughout before storming away to win by two-and-half lengths. Griffiths trained three winners for

the weekend, Magic Curves saluting at Bairnsdale on Saturday while The Princeling justified the long trip to Warrnambool on Sunday with a comfortable win over a mile and a quarter (2017m) in race seven. Racing returns to Cranbourne tomorrow night as the Browns Sawdust and Shavings night racing season continues.

It’s a mixed bag By JARROD POTTER MIXED results have been offered up by City of Casey area teams in the Dandenong District Cricket Association - with a significant turnaround required from most to get even close to making finals. Heinz Southern Districts has jumped out of the blocks to finds itself fourth at the main break. The Cobras have a league-leading 2.133 percentage and have been miserly with the ball throughout the opening part of the year. Success has come from both ends of the Cobras’ order. The batting has been led by Matt Cox, with 369 runs at a whopping 92.3 with a pair of centuries before Christmas always a good sign of things to come. With 11 wickets against his name as well, Cox is working his way into a DDCA Best XI this season and will be up there in Wookey Medal contention. On the bowling side, Michael Davies has made his victims akin to tyros as he’s snared 19 wickets at a scant 9.4 per scalp. At the other end Justin Davis has also kept things tidy with 16 wickets at 11.8. The fact that Heinz hasn’t had to rely on their top line spinner Paul Stockdale is testament to how the rest of the team has risen to the challenge in 2013/14. Heinz has yet to face Parkfield or Mordialloc - the top duo in Turf 1 - and has to get to the job done early, lest they have to rely on winning a last round showdown with the high-flying Bears at home. The Cobras will rate their chances from here, but Cox could use a bit more support at the top of the order from the likes of Keith Perumal or Garrick Wiramanaden. The other Casey-area teams are in the doldrums at the moment, with Berwick (ninth), Hallam Kalora Park (10th) and Narre Warren (11th) at the tail end of the field. Hallam Kalora Park has plummeted following a first-versus-second battle with Parkfield in round 3. They’ve failed to pick up a point since and now sit third last with 15 points to their name. Reliance for survival has once again fallen to the Booths - Leigh (229 runs and seven wickets) and Cory (178 runs and eight wickets) are leading the charge but need more support around them from the rest of the batting order. Corrie Wilson (nine wickets at 31.8) has been a handy pick-up from Doveton but hasn’t been able to get the breakthroughs he is capable of attaining at Hallam Reserve. Big Callum Prosser (13 wickets at 17.3) has been intimidating with his steep bounce. Berwick’s batting has been

Pecking order By DAVID NAGEL

The Berwick run-machine Bathiya Perera en route to 183 against Coomoora. 109384 Pictures: JARROD POTTER boosted by the introduction of former Sri Lankan test batsman Thilan Samaraweera and the Bears grasped an impressive chase-down of Dandenong West in the week leading up to Christmas. The partnership of the season - 286 between Chris Davies and Bathiya Perera was something to behold and Perera (348 runs at 87) has been Berwick’s best batsman by a country mile and will benefit from brother-in-law Samaraweera at the other end. Perera has belted two centuries in Turf 1 and also flayed an unbeaten Twenty20 ton against Narre Warren. Nirmal Wickramaratne hasn’t replicated his numbers from his Narre Warren days so far with Berwick, but is guaranteed to chip in for 20 or so runs and a couple of wickets. Ryan Crawford terrified Springvale South in a supreme opening bowling spell at Alex Nelson Reserve and if he continues that form he will definitely jag a lot more wickets. At the other end, Tanner Stanton has been trialled at the top of the order and thrown the ball often for his spin and will be buoyed by some promising results in his first season of consistent Turf 1 cricket. Narre Warren has faced a minor exodus - losing Wickramaratne (Berwick) and spearhead bowling pair Nathan King (Springvale South) and James Giertz. The Magpies needs more aptitude at the crease and there’s not enough stopping opposition bowlers - with Narre Warren reaching 200 only once this season in the 2013/14 opener against Lyndale in a onedayer. Dwayne Thomson (169 runs at 33.8) leads the Magpies’ card and is their only player over 100 runs

this season. Narre let fellow bottomof-the-ladder dweller North Dandenong pile on 292 in the last match before Christmas, with the Magpies letting the Northerners escape from 5/66. Narre still has to face two top-

four sides - Parkfield and Heinz Southern Districts - and the biggest indication of their season might come in the round 10 two-dayer against Coomoora. Winner takes all and stays in the top turf grade.

Stars all set to shine under lights By DAVID NAGEL STAR players from both Pakenham and Merinda Park are set to shine under the bright lights of Toomuc Reserve on Saturday as WGCA cricket begins the run home to finals. The second-placed Lions and third-placed Cobras will begin their round-nine one-day clash at 3pm, meaning an expected close finish will be played out in front of a big crowd under lights.

Both teams have depth but the battle between league leaders - Pakenham’s Chris Smith (574 runs) and Merinda Park’s Jess Mathers (25 wickets) - will be a contest not to be missed. Smith’s main support will come from fellow opener Russ Lehman, Jason Williams and skipper Dom Paynter while Mathers will have his brother Shannon in his corner along with tearaway quick Jarrod Armitage. The Cobras will need to get

Smith early or fall to the in-form Lions for the second time this season. Top-team Tooradin will look to inflict Kooweerup’s fifth straight loss when the two sides clash at Westernport Oval. The Seagulls, the undefeated reigning champs, have had some bitter battles with the Demons in recent seasons and would love nothing better than keeping the visitors down for the count. Cardinia should consolidate fourth place on the ladder with a

home-win against Emerald while Pakenham Upper/Toomuc host Upper Beaconsfield in a game crucial to both sides as they look to avoid relegation.

Contact Star Sport with sport stories on 5945 0666 or email: newssport@starnewsgroup.com.au

WEST Gippsland Premier division cricket returns in a blaze of glory on Saturday as four teams look to pick the lock on Tooradin’s early season dominance. The Seagulls, the undefeated reigning champs, are facing stiff opposition from Pakenham and Merinda Park while traditional rivals Cardinia and Kooweerup are clawing to stay in the finals hunt. That leaves Emerald, Upper Beaconsfield and Pakenham Upper/Toomuc in a battle to avoid relegation. Tooradin skipper Aaron Avery has led the way for his charges, 18 wickets and 314 runs has him ensconced as a top-three performer in both elements of the game. The WGCA’s ticking time-bomb, Tom Hussey, also looms large and provides the Seagulls with a real x-factor heading into the pointy end of the season. The grand final century maker has been getting starts, but look for him to explode as finals draw near. Pakenham opener Chris Smith has had an extraordinary start to life as a Lion and looms as the Seagulls biggest individual threat. A whopping 574 runs at an average of 95.67 accounts for 37 per cent of his teams runs... 15 per cent higher than any other player in premier division. Smith’s dominance has seen the Lions make the most runs (1547) and lose the least amount of wickets (39) in the competition. Smith’s opening partner Russ Lehman has made 13 per cent of the Lions’ runs meaning half of their overall total has come from the extreme top of the order. Lehman is also the in-form bowler in the league with 17 wickets against quality opposition in his last four outings. Merinda Park is an interesting team to assess... are last season’s runners-up a contender or pretender? That might seem a harsh call but a close look at its form shows there is definite cause for concern. The Cobras have failed against both Tooradin and Pakenham and have only one batsman in Danny Diwell (219) with more than 200 runs on the board. On face value, having the competitions leading wicket-taker in Jess Mathers is impressive, but 15 of his 25 wickets came in two outings against the bottom two teams in the league. They may be shaky... but don’t write the Cobras off just yet! Cardinia and Kooweerup would seem to be a bit off the pace and their round 12 encounter will more than likely decide fourth place. The Demons defeated the Bulls in round three but, apart from that, both teams have only had success against the bottom three teams on the ladder. The Demons have lost their last four on the bounce and must rebound in upcoming games against Tooradin and Merinda Park. The relegation battle may be decided quickly with bottom-placed Pakenham Upper/Toomuc’s opening two games against Emerald and Upper Beaconsfield. The Yabbies must win at least one of these two games to keep their slim hopes of survival alive. The Bombers and Maroons meet in what could be a belter of a contest in the final game of the season... round 14. ANSWERS: 1. Golden State 2. Simon O'Donnell 3. Margaret Court 4. Cycling 5.

BMW on track of success By DEREK OGDEN CALL it what you will - luxury four-wheel drive wagon; 4x4; sports utility vehicle; or BMW’s own title of ‘sports activity vehicle’ SAV’, the BMW X5 continues to barge its way through the Australian market. When it premiered in 1999, the four-wheel driven BMW X5 was the the first vehicle of its kind according to the German company. However, Range Rover may argue it introduced a sports activity model 29 years previously, though it didn’t tag it as such. Now the third generation of the new X5 is about to land in Australia with seven models, ranging in price from a tad over $80,000 to around $150,000, available from March. We had a preview of one of these, the X5 xDrive 30d recently. On the outside the new X5 is of similar proportions to the model it replaces but up front makes use of a wider kidney grille, headlight and tail lamp design giving the vehicle a more broad shouldered appearance.

Model range BMW X5 sDrive 25d: $82,900; BMW X5 xDrive 25d: $87,900; BMW X5 xDrive 30d: $99,900; BMW X5 xDrive 35i: $106,900; BMW X5 xDrive 40d: $115,900; BMW X5 xDrive 50i: $133,900; BMW X5 xDrive M50d: $147,900.

Style and function have combined up front with new air curtains at the outer edges of the apron designed to reduce drag by directing air around the wheel arches to create a curtain of air over the wheels, expressing it through breathers in the side panels. New-look 19-inch alloy wheels complete the picture. The xDrive 30d drivetrain, which includes an eight-speed automatic transmission and engine start / stop function, has been given boosts in power output, fuel economy and cleanliness. The 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine takes advantage of the latest in BMW TwinPower turbo technology and common-rail direct injection. This is enough to push the vehicle to 100 kilometres an hour from rest in just 6.9 sec-

The BMW X5 has upped the challenge to rivals. onds, 0.7 seconds quicker than before. Average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle has been improved by 1.2 litres per 100 kilometres to 6.2 litres per 100km, with carbon dioxide emissions of 162 grams per kilometre, 33 grams per km better. However these figures appear rather optimistic as our test car consumed 12.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and eight to nine litres during open-

road travel. Standard equipment for the BMW X5 xDrive 30d goes beyond its $100,000 price tag with particular attention being paid to keeping the driver in touch with his or her surroundings. Awareness has been improved with Bi-Xenon headlights, LED front fog lights, High-Beam Assist and antidazzle exterior mirrors. The head-up display, driving assistant, which includes lane

departure warning, forward collision warning and pedestrian warning with light city braking function, rear-view camera, 360 degree surround view and audible alarms of varying tones for each section of the vehicle, add to the safety credentials of the new model. The satellite navigation system is displayed with impressive sharpness on a dashboardmounted wide screen together with other functions at the call

of the iDrive Touch controller. The latter is positioned rather inconveniently to the left of the gearshift on the centre console, a nod to the left-hand drive origins of the BMW. Voice control, internet functions and quality audio system make up the grab bag of premium features. Primarily a five-seater, a third row of seats is among an extensive list of cost options to prise open the potential owner’s wallet. One thing that was given a workout was the Driving Experience Control by which the driver can alter drivetrain settings by means of a button on the centre console. Comfort is enhanced with electric front seat adjustment with memory, while cargo loading convenience is taken care of with an automatic tailgate. Sport mode has the X5 30d in spritely mood, rare in such a big vehicle (two tonnes-plus), Sport+ lifts the feral function. We liked it, which perhaps explained the higher than expected fuel consumption. Then again, isn’t the typical owner of the BMW X5 likely to push their machines along.

Mini is crying out to get the John Cooper Works treatment. Stand by to see it after a huge launch at Detroit motor show.

Mini treatment in the works By EWAN KENNEDY MINI aims to make a big splash at the North American International Auto Show (almost invariably referred to simply as the Detroit Motor Show), by unveiling its all-new John Cooper Works Concept. Though it’s tagged as a concept, there’s little doubt it will be close to being the real thing. The German-owned British brand is now in its third generation since its revival in 2002 and is larger than ever.

The new Mini never was Mini in the manner of the miniature 1959 Mini and has grown to maxi proportions. The usual excuses are given - crash protection needs more bodywork and people are getting larger. Perhaps the reason for the huge Detroit show introduction is to prove that Americans (who these days are almost, but not quite, as large as Australians) can get comfortable inside a Mini. All four seats of the gen-

three offer more space and as a bonus the boot has been expanded by 30 per cent. It looks to be still relatively tight in the back, though, not quite coupe-like as before, but not really providing the familyhatch space. Wisely, the powers behind the scene issued instructions that the latest Mini should continue to look like a Mini. So in the manner of its main rivals, the VW Beetle and Fiat 500, the new generation Mini is evolutionary not revolutionary

in its lines. We like it like that. Compared with the standard new Mini and Cooper S, which are yet to go on sale in Australia, the JCW Cooper is sure to have an even bolder body kit, further advancing its street cred. Sadly, one striking feature of the Mini for the last 55 years has gone - the central speedometer. Introduced in 1959 to cut the costs and complexity of making the car with the steering wheel on the right or left, it was loved

by all. Though it has to be said the drivers in a hurry didn’t like the speedo being visible to their wives... Though still big, bold and round, the speedo now sits in a conventional position directly in front of the driver. Its place in the centre of the dash has been taken over by an infotainment system, which includes the newly developed Mini Connected feature. Details of the worked JCW engine have yet to be released, the standard Mini Cooper S

manages a handy 141 kilowatts of power and 280 Newton metres of torque. Standard versions of the new third-generation Mini are expected in Australia in March or April 2014. No date has been set for the John Cooper Works to reach us downunder. On the subject of down the track, as well as increased rear seat space, spy shots have been circulated on the internet of five-door hatch versions of the gen-three Mini.

All new Chery J3 Everything a real 5 door hatch should be.

Subaru BRZ now on sale at dealers By EWAN KENNEDY THOSE who aren’t into cars and technology may be puzzled to learn that the Subaru BRZ sports coupe, which has been on sale online since July 2012, is now being sold through Subaru dealerships for the first time. Huh? So where did people get them if dealers didn’t sell them? Until 1 January, the Subaru BRZ was sold exclusively online in this country. A smart marketing move by the local importer - allegedly due to limited availability from Japan, but more likely to grab buyers’ attention - meant that the only way to buy a Subaru BRZ was via the internet. Improved supply from the Subaru’s Japanese factory means the BRZ is now being retailed through authorised Subaru dealers. Cleverly, Subaru Australia hasn’t succumbed to the temptation to make higher profits from the car it’s recommended driveaway price remains at $37,150 for the six-speed manual, the six-speed automatic comes in at $39,730. This is in line with the online prices charged since day one 18 months ago. Nick Senior, the managing director of Subaru Australia, said: “It’s great for our dealers, who have the opportunity to display one of Australia’s most popular sports cars in their showrooms.” Such was the car’s popularity on launch that the initial allocation of just 200 cars sold out just three hours after going live on the web. Subaru has sold 1800 BRZs in Australia since its online launch. The Subaru BRZ is built at the company’s Ota plant in Japan as a joint venture with the company’s part-owner, Toyota. The division of labour between the two companies saw Toyota looking after the product planning and styling while Subaru did the engineering development and build. Subaru BRZ breaks new ground for the company in Australia in having rear-wheel drive. All other models sold here have

all-wheel drive (AWD), though the company does build front-drive (FWD) cars, none make it downunder. The Subaru coupe has low-slung styling and short overhangs. The front is dominated by a large, hexagonal grille with sweeping headlights. The rear is tall and aggressive and has an additional brake light positioned between twin large tail pipes. Once settled in the seat the driver will find it’s firm but comfortable with plenty of legroom and surprisingly good head space. Our test car had a manual gearbox, a delightful short-throw unit which is fast and smooth and just asks to be used frequently. Who needs big power and torque when you have a gearbox like this to play with? Although there are four seats, the BRZ’s rear pair are minute units for emergency use only by anyone other than tiny tots. Surprisingly for a car where space is at a premium, BRZ’s boot is ruined by having a full-size spare wheel. The rear seatbacks do fold flat for extra storage space, but it’s all a bit messy. Steering is precise and direct with excellent feedback to the driver. As expected in a car of this type, the ride is firm with plenty of feel for the road yet comfortable enough for an extended trip. Equipment levels are high with standard safety equipment that includes dual front, side and curtain airbags, ABS brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control and a retractor brake pedal. It comes with a five-star ANCAP rating. Also standard are cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, push-button start and stop, sports seats, front and rear foglights and power-folding door mirrors.
