■ $22.2m purpose-built facility in Casey Hospital was officially opened...

Gym-led recovery By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A MANAGING nurse from Casey Hospital’s new sub-acute care ward, officially opened last Friday, has championed the importance of the facility for the local community. Nurse Unit manager Sarah Jenkin said the 30-bed purpose-built facility, which has a gym included, was introduced in order to provide care for patients as they recover after hospital treatment. “The ward here provides that rehab in an environment close to home. They’re often here for three or four weeks,” Ms Jenkin said. The $22.2 million sub-acute care ward was officially opened at the Berwick-based hospital last Friday by Health Minister David Davis, while patients have been admitted to the facility since July. Speaking at the opening on Friday, Mr Davis said Casey Hospital is well placed to meet the demand for rehabilitation services in Melbourne’s rapidly growing and ageing outer south-east suburbs. “The facility has a patient dining room, therapy space, allied health consultation rooms, a mobility garden to support rehabilitation and largerthan-standard bedrooms which enable therapy to be undertaken in a patient’s bedroom,” Mr Davis said. Ms Jenkin stressed the all-important role of rehabilitation afforded by the new facility. “A lot of patients need that further follow up to make sure they can maintain further functioning,” Ms Jenkin said. “The environment is just beautiful for staff and patients; it’s so well built for patients in the area,” she said. Ms Jenkin said the new ward ca-

Community News Council advocates on behalf of Casey residents this state election With five weeks until the Victorian election, Council has stepped up its Make Your Voice Count advocacy campaign. The City of Casey thanks those residents who took the time to sign the petition for better infrastructure earlier this month. Following Council’s pop-up advocacy stand at Westield Fountain Gate, 6 to 10 October, Council collected the signatures of 1,105 residents for its community petition supporting seven priorities, focussing on local road and bus improvements. Council forwarded the petition to the Premier of Victoria and State Leader of the Opposition and has written to local election candidates. If you missed the pop-up stand or petition, you can still write or email your local candidates using Council’s template at www.makeyourvoicecount.com.au.

Beat cancer four times APART from telling close family and friends, Sandi Bonavita has never shared her story. The Narre Warren South grandmother has beaten lung cancer once and fought breast cancer four times, the latter returning with a vengeance in July this year. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as she fights her fifth bout of cancer in 17 years, Sandi knew there was no better time than now to share her history in the hope of raising awareness. “I have never made a fuss about having cancer - in fact, most people would never know what I have gone through,” Sandi, 60, said. “But this year I have developed such a heart for giving something back to all of those who tirelessly fight to find a cure for cancer.” Canadian-born Sandi has also signed up to do next year’s Weekend to End Women’s Cancer walk for the first time, to raise money for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, held in the last weekend in February. “It’s a 60-kilometre walk over two days and I am in training, walking six kilometres a day,” she said. “I have a team of seven who have agreed to join me in this walk, and I believe I will be

alive to do it.” The born-again Christian was first diagnosed with cancer in her right breast in May 1997, when she was 44. It spread to her lymph system and after a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiation treatment, Sandi won that first battle and was announced cancer-free in January of the next year. Three years before Christmas in 2005, Sandi was then diagnosed with an aggressive cancer in the same breast, but treatment again saw it eradicated by May 2006. More than half a decade then passed without any cancer returning and Sandi was considered a ‘survivor’. That was before doctors discovered it again in her left breast in February 2012, and soon also diagnosed her with lung cancer. After surgical complications due to the proximity of the breast cancer to her nerve tissue, it wasn’t until May 2013, after countless operations, that Sandi was once again diagnosed cancer-free. “However, I was unable to have any more radiotherapy as I have had it on both sides of my chest in the past and the scar tissue build-up will not allow for more,” Sandi said. And on 14 July this year, cancer was discovered again in Sandi’s left breast.

Stalked via mobile POLICE are investigating an ongoing stalking incident in which a 33-year-old Berwick woman has allegedly been harassed via mobile phone. Last Tuesday, 14 October police executed a search warrant at a Bentleigh address in relation to the incident and arrested a 45-year-old man. The man was interviewed by police and released pending summons. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

“I have two tumours under my left arm approximately two inches in diameter, each again inoperable as they are enmeshed in too much scar tissue,” she said. “Halfway through chemo I had a CT scan in September and the results are incredible the two tumours have shrunk to only a quarter and a bit left, with two more rounds of chemo to go. “We all believe that I will once again beat this beast and be cancer-free.” Sandi’s last round of chemotherapy will be undertaken next month, with devoted husband, Martin, by her side. “All through my journey, I have had a wonderful support group and a loving family who have supported me in all of this,” she said. “I have never been afraid of dying, but never been afraid of fighting to overcome this either. “I have a great faith in God and know that the prayers and support from all have seen me through this also.” Sandi may be battling cancer once again, but she is a survivor in every sense of the word. For more information and to donate to the Weekend to End Women’s Cancer walk, visit www.endcancer.org.au, and use Sandi’s participant number 121226-2.

For the past two months, police have been knocking on doors and speaking to homeowners to advise them about ways to reduce their risk of burglary. News reporter CASEY NEILL joined them on patrol last week.

Home visit for security By CASEY NEILL “I DON’T know if that’s any use to you, but... ” It’s a phrase that could help police shut down a burglary spree. All ears last Tuesday, 14 October, were First Constable Jerome Ithier, Constable Trent Chivers and Constable Gil Cristovao Correia. They were hitting the streets of Endeavour Hills as part of a Victoria Police pilot across Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia. The region’s Safer Communities Unit deploys patrols to areas where burglaries have occurred using ‘hot spot’ maps. Sergeant Melissa Blair said the initiative was based on research that showed that houses within 200 to 400 metres of a burgled property were temporarily at risk of being targeted next. “They’ll often go to the next street down, expecting to find the same sort of stuff,” she said. Sgt Blair said burglary victims were also at high risk of being re-victimised for seven days following the theft. “They wait for you to replace your television and laptop then head in again,” she said. She said crews worked on the doorknock project from 10am to 6pm each day, hitting up to 200 houses in a shift. She told last Tuesday’s team that some residents would panic, assuming they were there to deliver bad news. “Others will think you’re there to get them,” she said. “Tell them straight up you’re there to teach them about crime prevention.

Constable Trent Chivers hands an Endeavour Hills resident a leaflet. 129042

“Policing these days is about prevention. “Lower crime statistics help people to feel safer.” Sgt Blair said the patrols were a chance for new officers to hone their communication skills. “Don’t knock people for telling you ‘silly’ information,” she said. “If they tell you they’ve seen a silver Ford hanging around in the street, write it down. “Someone knows something about every burglary. “You might find that person. “Every piece of information is worth something.”

The teams also hand out plenty of information about securing properties against burglary. “Simple stuff that could stop them being a victim in the future,” Sgt Blair said. “Deadlocks, sensor lighting, not having a hedge in front of their front door. “If they see a police car drive down the street they’ll lie down behind the hedge. “To be a good copper you have to think how crooks do.” First Constable Ithier handed a leaflet to a woman who lived in Celtis Place, Endeavour Hills, where a home

a few doors down was burgled over the weekend. “You know best who should and shouldn’t be in your street,” he said. “If you notice anything unusual, call the local police station.” She told him about a girl aged 15 or 16 wearing blue jeans and a dark hoodie and carrying a pink handbag. She stopped at each letterbox in the street on the Wednesday prior to the robbery, but didn’t put anything in them. From there, we moved onto Joseph Banks Crescent, Endeavour Hills, where another burglary occurred over the weekend.

“Everything’s alright,” Constable Chivers assured a woman as she opened her front door. She said: “It was a bit scary having police knock on my door,” but gratefully accepted the warning. A man at another home told the police he’d already increased security at his property. “We have been knocked off twice,” he said. Everyone who answered their door to the patrol received a brochure listing simple steps to take to improve home security. Those who weren’t home received one in their letter box. The checklist included locking all windows and doors even when at home, and says unlocked side and rear doors are the most common entry points for burglars. It recommended installing and using quality deadlocks on all external doors and windows and keeping valuables out of plain sight and in a secure place. “Be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour to police immediately via triple zero,” the letter said. “Crime prevention is a daily responsibility and your ongoing participation is the best way to ensure a safer and more secure community.” Police are also offering residents free security audits to help identify areas where home security could be improved. Residents can download a crime prevention fact sheet from www.police.vic.gov.au to learn more about how to secure a property against burglary.

Police probing burglary ring “Thieves are walking into these premises without any hassles, stealing car keys and valuables - and making off with these property items and the family car,” he said. “We’re asking the community for their help in applying simple security measures. “Install good quality locks on doors and windows and use these at all times, even when you’re at home. “It’s also a good idea to make your house look occupied at all times by asking a neighbour to bring in your mail and bins while you’re away.” Anyone with any information about these burglaries should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or visit www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

POLICE are appealing for any help in their investigation into a spate of recent home burglaries throughout Casey, which has seen around $1 million worth of property stolen. Since August this year, police have responded to 23 burglaries in the Lynbrook area, the majority occurring between 9am and 5pm when residents were not at home. And over the past month there have been an additional 17 reported burglaries in the Casey Police Service Area, and its understood the majority of these incidents occurred while residents were at home. Southern Metro region Senior Sergeant Terry Rowlands said a range of highly valuable

items were being stolen in the burglaries. “Cash, safes, computers, vehicles and 22-carat jewellery are amongst the items that have been taken,” he said. “We’re estimating the values of these items are in the vicinity of $1 million.” Sen Sgt Rowlands said there appeared to be a distinct link between the Lynbrook burglaries. “It’s fair to say these crimes are linked with the same offenders or group of offenders using forced entry to enter empty premises overnight and helping themselves to what they can find,” he said. Sen Sgt Rowlands said residents were continuing to leave their garages and rear doors unlocked.

I WISH to appreciate the thoughts expressed by Mr Edgar and Mr Rodda, (Qur'an Quotes and Taqiyya Technique, News, 10 October) who have made the effort of quoting some verses from the Holy Qur'an to support their point of view. I believe that this debate should not be taking place in a local newspaper as this is not the right medium to discuss theology and would also like to say that this debate is not a competition to see who the convincing winner is. I had intended this conversation to be an expression of a Muslim voice who condemns the atrocities committed in the name of Islam because often it is said that Muslims do not speak up to condemn the terrorist activities. Having said that, I do wish to make a few general statements. Whenever we read a book, we must read it in its entirety, not take excerpts out of it, which accurate they may be, but taken out of context or if interpreted in the wrong way can mean the exact opposite of what is being conveyed. Holy scriptures of any religion should be dealt with in the same delicate manner as there are many symbols, metaphors and parables used in the text. A ‘piece’ of a verse cannot be taken out of its historical and universal context and application. Any holy text can be opened and many verses can be found which might be ‘offensive’ but when studied in its context, they reveal a more wholesome picture which is not offensive at all. In addition, it is a fact that there are 6232 verses in the Holy Qur'an, most of which talk about mercy, compassion, forgiveness, peace, humility, modesty, and values that we as human beings share. I wish to state that by reading only a handful of verses which “might” depict a negative image can be extremely misleading. Similarly, by using logic, had the Islamic teachings been so utterly inhumane, it would be quite reasonable to conclude that people would have left Islam a long time ago. However, that facts point to the contrary; Islam is healthily being practiced by 1.6 billion people, of which only a 0.01 per cent (highlighted by media) are misleading the world by doing the exact opposite of what the Islamic teachings are, and is on the rise, where people are freely accepting the teachings. Islam is a universal religion that is close to human nature. If you wish to see only the negative aspects (which are obviously misunderstood by misinterpreting the verses), then that is all you will see. A holy scripture cannot be examined through a lens of prejudice and preconceived bias but can be studied in the true sense only with an open mind. Ideally, the practices of Muslims should be a reflection of the religion. But we don’t live in an ideal world. I would re-iterate that it is very important to separate the religion from the cultural or interpretative practices of its adherents. I often see people quoting Boko Haram or ISIS as representatives of Islam. May I assure the masses that these people are far from any true teachings of Islam and no right-minded Muslim will ever look at their example as a true picture of Islam. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Muslims condemn the actions of extremists, no matter which religion they belong to. As a final point, I would like to draw the attention of readers to those Muslims who have made significant contributions to the world. A plethora of information is available on the internet. There are many Muslim Nobel laureates, including women. There are millions of charities through which Muslims channel a positive energy back to humanity. Why would you focus on the ‘worst case scenario’ when there are so many great role models working for the betterment of humanity. If you wish to see it that way, the glass can be half full rather than half empty. Naureen Choudhry, Narre Warren.

Where to for Islam? I URGE the likes of Ms Choudhry to not waste her time in controversial discussions through the media in attempting to prove that Islam is superior to Christianity because each has its historic flaws. The present is before us, to right the wrongs, and restore to society the norms of the “rule of law”. Sadly a mother laments the death of her son, my neighbour. He will not be home for Eid, Ramadan, and all the feasts, and gatherings, of the family, all because he was influenced to participate in a fruitless Jihad. Jihad is a fiery movement and has drawn over 15,000 youth internationally, who will never go home alive, and result in many more mothers crying bitterly at the loss of their babies whom they nurtured into manhood. Many of these youth came to most of these countries as either economic or political refugees and have chosen to join fanatic brigades, thus biting the hand that feeds and had sympathy for the plight of a refugee. I urge the Islamic community’s leadership all over the world to restore a sense of direction, truly embedded in the tenets, which Mohamed enunciated as dictated by the Angel Gabriel. From time to time any religious group needs to look into their being in step with attitudes and changes in society. Perhaps an international forum on Islam “where, to, in the next century”. Milroy Martyn, Endeavour Hills.

Values under threat MS CHOUDHRY is perfectly right to say that "Islam is a religion of peace, empathy, love and compassion" (Islam Answers Back, News, 9 October). However, what she and some other people often seem to forget is that "actions speak louder than words". Ms Choudhry is totally wrong in her reply to Mr Woolf (State Of Islam, News, 2 October) who has got all his information correct, though. Instead of blaming media reports, Ms Choudhry should start watching the news on several channels and read many different newspapers. Only then will she be able to understand what is happening in the world today. The world is at war. Why? Africa is in turmoil. Why? Who are those responsible for the killings, massacres, atrocities and other tragic events that are taking place in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and elsewhere, where even mosques have been set on fire and completely destroyed. We would like to know what Ms Choudhry thinks about the abduction and humiliation of over 200 schoolgirls by the jihadist group of Boko Haram? The other day I had a strange feeling, as if I was no longer living in Australia. I was shocked to hear that Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay had warned defence force cadets not to wear their uniforms

Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS in public. That same warning was also given to customs, ambulance and fire services. Could Mr Choudhry explain the reason for the Chief Commissioner’s decision? The rights and freedoms of born Australian citizens are being sacrificed - because of whom, Ms Choudhry? Still, what I consider most disappointing is the attitude of some MPs and political party leader to measures taken by the government in order to ensure the safety and security of the country. These people seem to be living in the past and lacking vision, foresight, understanding and wisdom. Australian values, religion, culture and traditions are under threat. If the government doesn’t react firmly, with the support of the opposition, in 20 years’ time, Australia will find itself in a situation worse than what is beeing seen in many countries around the world. Better not to be wise after the event! Finally, as a migrant myself, I invite Ms Choudhry and all other migrants of all nationalities to join together in order to keep Australia a better place to live. May God bless Australia! Eliezer Francois, Endeavour Hills.

Just too big WE WOULD like all Berwick Village residents made aware of a planning application currently before Casey Council for the development of 21 Langmore Lane with a total site area of 1758 square metres (22m frontage, maximum depth 83m). The site is two blocks up from the RSL. It is proposed to build a three-storey block of 20 apartments, with basement car parking for 20 cars (17 residents, three visitors). The ground floor – four apartments and 16 resident car parks, first level – seven apartments, second level – seven apartments, third level – two apartments and rooftop terrace. Effectively four levels above ground. If council approves this high density living on a 1758 square metre block of land it would then set a precedent for all large blocks within the Berwick Village. City of Casey’s Framework Plan for the Future (Clause 21.05.2) says in part “To maintain the distinctive canopy tree character of the Berwick Township and its immediate environs.” How could this development happen without complete removal of all vegetation on the block, which includes 38 mentioned trees in the arborist’s report. We object strongly to inner city high density type developments in Berwick Village area – it’s well-known as a leafy, country environment the very reason we live here. Having family going back to the 1920s in Berwick, we are very sad that council should even consider this type of height and density and degradation of landscape and heritage values. We are sending our opposition to the City of Casey. W. and M. Goodwin, Berwick.

MP pledges roundabout By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A LOCAL MP has promised his party will upgrade what he views as a chaotic intersection in Narre Warren North if the Opposition is successful in next month’s election. On Monday Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan announced that $500,000 would be committed to upgrading the Fox Road and Narre Warren North Road intersection under a Labor government. He said this would include building a roundabout at the “notorious” T-intersection. “The Fox Road intersection has been notorious for years and Denis Napthine has failed to fix the problem,” Mr Donnellan said. “Labor will deliver funding to fix this mess and improve traffic flow and safety for local residents.” Mr Donnellan said the upgrade would provide better safety for motorists who drive through the intersection at peak times. “With many people needing to access Fox Road for sporting clubs and church, weekends can be a massive headache for motorists,” he said. “Labor has committed $500,000 to fix the problem and improve the

Mum walks tall for her son By LACHLAN MOORHEAD

Single mum Sherone Armel, 23, has dedicated her life to taking care of her four-year-old son, Armani, who has quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy. 129116 Picture: ROB CAREW

“When we realised he wasn’t reaching milestones, you want to turn a blind eye to it at the start because you don’t want anything to be wrong with your baby but there comes a point when you need to get real and look more into it.” Sherone and Armani were part of a special CPEC team that walked in the marathon, a group which has fast become a second family for the Armels. “CPEC has that community feel.

know you aren’t alone,” Sherone said. “There’s so many people, beautiful people, going through the same thing every day.” And despite the persistent challenges, it’s Sherone’s own strength, and her love for Armani, that drives her continual positive outlook. “You have to be strong for your baby, at the end of the day he’s the one that’s going through it,” she said. “I would much rather go through it

unable to control his head movements. After the cerebral palsy diagnosis Armani was lucky enough to gain a placement at CPEC, based in Glen Waverley, which he attends twice a week and learns how to move his body and to communicate. “You want a healthy baby girl or baby boy, it’s tough to find out that he did have this cyst,” Sherone said. “But according to the neurologist, they thought it would only affect his peripheral vision.

1135155-ACM21-14

FOUR-YEAR-OLD Armani Armel can’t speak any words to his mother. The child uses a communication book to indicate to his mum, Sherone, what he is unable to say. When he turned one, Armani was diagnosed with quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy, a physical disability that prevents the boy from walking unaided or from forming proper words. Earlier this month, Sherone, from Endeavour Hills, walked the three-kilometre leg of the Melbourne Marathon while pushing Armani in a specially adapted bike. All proceeds they raised will go towards the Cerebral Palsy Education Centre (CPEC), where her son has been attending for more than three years. Single mum Sherone, 23, lives with her parents Anne and Francis and dedicates her life to little Armani. The professional ballroom dancer, who made the top 40 of this year’s So You Think You Can Dance reality series, admits her dancing was put on the backburner as she became a full-time carer after Armani was born. “When we found out about Armani’s condition it was obviously devastating,” Sherone said. “There’s a lot of struggles, but I have a lot of family support. It changes everything; we just work to different goals. “It makes you appreciate all the little things in life.” At 16 weeks pregnant Sherone had an MRI which revealed that Armani had a cyst on his brain, but doctors said they were not too concerned. However soon after Armani was born, weighing just over four pounds, Sherone noticed he wasn’t reaching developmental milestones and seemed

Dark over light

Thursday, 23 October, 2014 Page 11 1159404-PB43-14

By BRIDGET SCOTT A HAMPTON Park woman has had a big win over VicRoads after she successfully got a light pole removed from her front garden. On Tuesday, 7 October, Leonie Thompson returned home to find a light pole had been installed at the edge of her front lawn. Outraged, the Hampton Park resident of more than 40 years started to investigate after VicRoads failed to notify her that the works would go ahead. “I had no notification of this and it’s right on the cusp of my property,” she said. “It’s not the way it should be. “A pole belongs on the nature strip.” “If they take them from the nature strip, then they should put them back on the nature strip,” she said. A duplication project of the road is currently underway near Ms Thompson’s house, and she said she was more than happy to “bend a little” but that enough was enough. Ms Thompson said the road works should have been completed a long time ago and she wasn’t the only person who was annoyed. “It’s not only me, it’s everybody,” she said. “We need to make the public aware that they have a voice.” About a week after the pole was installed it was removed after VicRoads acknowledged it should not have been put there.

stra cables and conduits underground,” he said. “While ensuring the safe and efficient operation of Victorian roads is our key priority, we always want to work with the community so that they understand why improvements, like this one, are required.” Ms Thompson said she was pleased to have it removed and have her point of view taken on board. “I was a bossy pants, but they were very co-operative,” she said. “Any old areas that you go to, you should consult with residents.”

Ride’s on a run

Brad Battin MP Member for Gembrook

By BRIDGET SCOTT MORE riders than ever revved their engines in Cranbourne last week to mark the 16th annual Cranbourne GP Run. Organisers believe crowd and motorbike numbers broke records for this year’s event after it was estimated that about 9000 people took off from Sladen Street for Phillip Island last Saturday, 20 October. Celebrity guest Shane Jacobson waved off the riders alongside City of Casey Mayor Geoff Ablett, who said: “The riders just kept coming. “We were up on the cherry picker for around an hour,” he said. “It was an unbelievable sight to see. “I’ve never seen so many bikes in one spot at one time.” Cr Ablett said Jacobson was “blown away” by the sight in Cranbourne last weekend. “I told him you won’t see a sight like this again,” the mayor said. “He had no idea of the magnitude of how big the event is.” The Mirabel Foundation was the charity of this year’s GP Run, which is one of the biggest events in the City of Casey. Visitors flocked from near and far to watch the riders take off from Sladen Street in Cranbourne.The event also included plenty of activities to keep visitors entertained. The crowd started gathering from about 8am until the festivities ended about 11am. Jacobson was busy the entire morning with casts of thousands who were keen to get a photograph and autograph before the celebrity was whizzed away.

the chamber had got off to a shaky start in the past financial year with then president Clinton Blanchard resigning early and many businesses in Berwick facing financial challenges. Last year’s AGM attracted 38 attendees including Federal La Trobe MP Jason Wood

and City of Casey Deputy Mayor Amanda Stapledon. However, just nine people turned up to last week’s meeting. “We are limping along,” Ms McPhee said. Get the full story in this week’s Pakenham Gazette.

Council’s Richo cash-in

Towed away

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS FORMER Casey councillor Paul Richardson faces $200,000-plus in legal costs after his discrimination claims against Casey council were rejected by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal last Wednesday. Councillor Sam Aziz successfully moved for the council to seek an order for costs against Mr Richardson at Tuesday night’s council meeting. Cr Aziz said the case had cost the council more than $200,000 for legal advice and representation, plus another $100,000 of “council resources used in managing the case”. “His abuse of the legal process has been outrageous and expensive for the community and Mr Richardson should now be held to account. “VCAT has provided the opportunity for (the) council to seek an order for costs, and I intend to move... that (the) council seeks such an order.” Last week, the tribunal rejected Mr Richardson’s six complaints under the Equal Opportunity Act of being discriminated against for his “political belief or acitivity”. The complaints included being banned from asking questions in public question time at Casey council meetings in 2011 and being forcibly removed from a 2012 meeting. Mr Richardson has again been allowed to again ask questions at meetings since September 2013. In bringing the VCAT claim, Mr Richardson had sought $274,000 compensation from Casey for loss of income and “humiliation, injury to feelings, hurt and distress”. Last week Mr Richardson said he would make no comment on the VCAT decision except to say he’d take “further action”. In her decision, VCAT member Anna

Paul Richardson being ejected from a Casey Council meeting in. 2012 79694 Dea stated that the ban did not appear to be connected with Mr Richardson’s “political belief or activity”. “I am not persuaded that he was engaged in participation in public affairs in a manner which entitled him to continue untrammelled. “Further, his manner of participation failed to respect the rights of others and was inconsistent with the council manag-

ing its affairs in an orderly manner.” Ms Dea stated that Mr Richardson had been taking up a “very significant amount of council resources” with repetitive questions and abusive, threatening treatment of councillors and staff. “Importantly, Mr Richardson was still able to ask two questions per council meeting through other people.”

MORE than 70 trailers have been stolen throughout Casey, Cardinia and Dandenong in the space of three months. Police have confirmed that 72 trailers were stolen from the Casey, Cardinia and Dandenong police areas between 1 July and 28 September. Southern Metro region Senior Sergeant Terry Rowlands said the majority of the trailers were unsecured at the time they were taken. “The offenders are simply towing them away - it’s an opportunistic crime that can be easily prevented. “We’re urging the community to be aware and secure their property including cars, bicycles, boats and trailers. “If possible, use chains and tow hitch locking devices to secure them to a post or tree and park in well-lit areas. “Finally, report suspicious activity immediately by calling 000.” Anyone with any information about these burglaries should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or visit www.crimestoppersvic. com.au.

Picture: BRIDGET COOK Casey corporate services director Sally Curtain said the council hoped Mr Richardson would “now moderate his behaviour”. “VCAT has found that the public question time ban was not discriminatory. “Rather, it was an attempt by (the) council to control Mr Richardson’s unmanageable behaviour.”

Fitness is the right path By BRIDGET SCOTT ORGANISERS of a fitness program run for young offenders in the community have pleaded with local businesses to jump on board and support the initiative. The Casey Youth Fitness Program has run for nearly 18 months as a way to reintroduce young offenders back into the community. The program is run by dynamic duo Casey CIU Detective Senior Constable Mick Harris and local man Robert Auimatagi, who want to help the adolescents start fresh in society. The fitness program operates out of the Skamma Gym in Narre Warren. The pair said they saw children as young as 13 through to 23-year-olds who have committed serious, adult crimes. More than a year after the program commenced, Det Sen Const Harris said some of the young boys were ready for full time employment. “They just want work,” he said. “We want to get them started because they’re bored, which is why they’re committing offences.” Of around 20 youths in the program, the police officer said around four or five have gained employment. “We really want to get local employees on board,” he said. “We need that support from the community.” Mr Auimatagi, who takes the young men through the program, said he would only refer them to employment once he was satisfied they were ready. “It’s when we feel they are ready to take that step up,” he said. “The support from us is always there.” Det Sen Const Harris also urged social workers and youth organisations to refer young offenders to their program. “We ask youth agencies to bring the kids along and be consistent with it,” he said. The detective said the point of the program was to stop these children in their tracks before they become adult criminals. “These are the hard core criminals of the fu-

The Narre Warren police station and Casey

Criminal Investigation Unit have thrown their full support behind the program, and presented the group with a cheque last Tuesday. Det Sen Const Harris said the $300 would hugely benefit the program.

Tough climb, a spectacle By LACHLAN MOORHEAD THE Eureka Climb, dubbed Australia’s Biggest Vertical Race, is hard enough. That’s without taking part in the 300-metre vertical challenge decked out in CFA gear from top to toe. But this is the challenge Hampton Park CFA member Stacey Bull has accepted, after her CFA Captain Will Hinde encouraged her and two other volunteers to take part in the event with him on Sunday, 16 November. Stacey, 20, said four fireys completing the challenge in their protective gear would be a sight to behold. “It’s the first time I’ve done this, and there’s four of us from the Hampton Park CFA doing it,” “One of my colleagues did it last year and he talked me into it, so I thought I’d join and give it a go.” Participants in the Eureka Climb are made to run or walk the 1642 stairs to level 88 of Melbourne’s Eureka Skydeck - the highest observation deck in the southern hemisphere. People can enter individually or in teams of four, like the eager volunteers from Hampton Park CFA, and the money they raise will go towards the event’s two charity partners Whitelion and Interplast Australia and New Zealand. Whitelion is a not-for-profit community organisation that provides youthfocused gender and culturally specific services in areas including mentoring, employment, specialist outreach support and education-based prevention programs. Interplast is another not-for-profit organisation which works to improve the quality of life for people who are disabled as a result of congenital or acquired medical conditions, including cleft lip palate and burn scar contractures. Stacey said her group had started preparing for the Eureka Climb earlier in the

Daylight robbery TWO men have been assaulted and robbed in Berwick in broad daylight on Sunday. It’s understood the victims were approached by a group of males outside Barry Bourke Holden on Sunday, 19 October around 11am. The group attacked the two men and stole their phones and money. The two victims sustained minor facial injuries, with one taken to hospital for treatment. It’s believed the offenders were African in appearance. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.

Teen clouted and robbed

Things will be looking up for Stacey Bull when the Hampton Park CFA member takes part in the 300-metre Eureka Picture: GARY SISSONS Climb next month. 129412 year, to give themselves the best chance of completing the challenge. “We’ve had training every Wednesday on and off since April and that’s a boot camp where we have a volunteer trainer helping us,” she said. “It’s probably something that could

become a yearly thing. “We were all friends beforehand, but this has brought us closer, we need to help each other during training.” Eureka Climb Event director Ben King said the event seemed to get bigger every year.

“2013 was the biggest year yet for the Eureka Climb with over 2500 participants and a crowd of hundreds watching the action,” Mr King said. “By all indications, 2014 is set to be the best year yet with registrations coming in from all over the country and overseas.”

POLICE are investigating an incident in which a teenager was assaulted and robbed at Casey Central Shopping Centre on the weekend. It’s believed four to five male teenagers set upon the 17-year-old victim, from Narre Warren South, assaulting him until he was unconscious and stealing his money. The victim was taken to Casey Hospital for treatment. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com. au.

ALISHA Walker has never had lupus but the illness has affected her all the same. The 26-year-old from Endeavour Hills has family members who suffer from the autoimmune disease and knows how devastating its impact can be on those afflicted, as well as their family and friends. It’s why the aptly named Alisha Walker participated in this month’s Melbourne Marathon three-kilometre walk, nominating the Lupus Foundation as her charity of choice. And with October being Lupus Awareness Month, it was also appropriate that the marathon was held at the same time. “I have family members diagnosed with lupus, it’s quite personal for us,” Alisha said. “In general, there isn’t as much awareness as to how autoimmune diseases affect people’s lives.” And while she doesn’t have the disease, Alisha has suffered similar symptoms in the past that have seen her further sympathise with those close family members who have been affected. “Personally, for me, I wasn’t diagnosed but I had triggers that could lead to lupus,” she said. “I’ve had a risk factor for it. It’s like finding out you could have a risk for cancer but it’s not full blown. “I’ve experienced that initial shock you go through and can imagine if you actually did have it.” Lupus is a potentially fatal autoimmune disease that affects

New home for 21st party By CASEY NEILL SOUTHERN Migrant and Refugee Centre (SMRC) celebrated its 21st birthday last week only to learn it would soon have a new home. City of Greater Dandenong councillors approved plans to lease part of the council’s vacant 39 Clow Street offices to the support agency. SMRC will move from its current Thomas Street space by February to start a five-year lease with an option of a further five years. It’s been 21 years since a handful of people decided that refugees needed more support and advocacy in Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia. CEO Jenny Semple said the not-forprofit community-based agency formed with $200,000 from the then-Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs. “We started with about seven staff and a committee of management and from that point we really grew and grew based on the demands,” she said. “We’ve worked with all the waves of refugees and migrants that have come through.” SMRC started out in Walker Street,

Dandenong, offering settlement services. It’s expanded into aged care and added a youth worker, employment programs, driver education, counselling and family support, home tutoring and more. The organisation is now based in Thomas Street, Dandenong, and has about 64 office-based staff, 93 casual workers and 90 volunteers. SMRC’s greatest demand is from asylum seekers who are ineligible for many government services. “Those funded to provide for asylum seekers, they do a good job but it’s with very limited funding and within very limited scope,” Ms Semple said. “What they can’t deliver moves the need onto other agencies that aren’t funded to support them. “A lot of people want to help asylum seekers but they haven’t got the resources to do it.” She said volunteer groups stepped up to meet the demand but services were “a bit dis-coordinated”. “So they might be addressing a need that’s already being met instead of look-

SMRC CEO Jenny Semple, board chairman Brian Oates and Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells cut the birthday cake. 128538 Pictures: GARY SISSONS ing at what the gaps are,” she said. “When you’ve got limited resources you want to make sure what you’ve got goes as far as it can and can help as much as possible.” Ms Semple said technology was also

a struggle for many migrants and refugees trying to access advice on housing, migration and other issues. “A lot of service providers and government assume that everyone has a laptop and an email.”

Pop-up opinion identifies some key priorities THE City of Casey has submitted a petition to the State Government after it was revealed that more than 1000 residents want better infrastructure in the area. The council became aware of their opinions after it hosted a ‘pop-up’ advocacy stand at Westfield’s Fountain Gate Shopping Centre last week at which residents were invited to sign the council’s petition to support its seven key projects in the lead up to the state election on 29 November. State election advocacy spokesperson for the City of Casey councillor Sam Aziz welcomed the support of the

community in the Make Your Voice Count campaign. “This is the first time council has hosted a pop-up advocacy stand of this scale and we’re delighted with the positive response with many shoppers stopping to sign the petition, chatting with council officers about our advocacy priorities or picking up information materials,” he said. The key priorities listed by council which the petition supported were: Frequent and direct bus services; Thompsons Road duplication/Western

· ·

Port Highway intersection upgrade; Hallam Road duplication/South Gippsland Highway intersection upgrade; Narre Warren - Cranbourne Road duplication (stage two); The Casey Cultural Precinct; The attraction of investment and creation of jobs in the Casey Cardinia region and Youth mental health services. State election advocacy spokesperson councillor Wayne Smith said that the council has now closed the petition

· · · · ·

and sent it to the Victorian Premier and Opposition Leader. “With less than seven weeks to the election, we hope the petition will spur both the Victorian Government and State Opposition to announce further funding commitments for Casey, especially council’s seven priorities,” he said. While the pop-up stand has closed, residents can still have their say by writing or emailing their state MPs or election candidates using the council’s template available at www.makeyourvoicecount.com.au.

Armed robbery for phone POLICE are investigating an armed robbery in which a man has alleged to have been threatened with a screwdriver and had his phone stolen outside Fountain Gate Shopping Centre. It’s believed the two male offenders approached the victim inside the shopping centre around 5pm on Friday, 17 October, before asking him to leave the shopping centre with them. Outside the centre one of the attackers is deemed to have produced a screwdriver and demanded the victim’s phone, before both offenders fled the scene. It’s believed the attackers were known to the victim. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Car torched A BURNT-OUT car was reported to police in the early hours of Monday morning. The blue Ford 4XR8 ute was found burnt out on Brundrett Road in Narre Warren North, around 5.30am on Monday, 20 October. The car was taken for forensic examination. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Community Diary Red Cross raising SINCE the Berwick/Upper Beaconsfield Red Cross’s 100th birthday celebrations the group has been busy fund-raising. A sausage sizzle at Bunnings helped the group reach a total of $1700. A street stall in the High Street, Berwick, also netted $289 and a fashion parade and luncheon at the October meeting raised $643. One of the group’s members Marion Limpus also held a luncheon and raised $367 which will go directly to help the fight against the Ebola outbreak in Africa. The blood bank is on at Narre Warren North Hall in A’Beckett Road from Monday, 20 October through until Friday, 24 October. Donors are always needed and appointments can be made by phoning 13 14 95.

Good medicine THE Narre Warren Seniors met as usual on Wednesday, 15 October. The attendance was down because some of the group was enjoying a trip away on a tour of Tasmania. Some valid information was received from NPS Be Medicinewise Week to discuss and share about whether the medicines used by the members were helping or hindering them. The seniors were encouraged to learn to keep track

of their medicines in order to avoid mistakes. Door prizes were won by Inday Houghton, Gloria Bridle, Marion Culpan and Jean Halley-Frame. The raffles of $10 gift cards were won by Brenda Ludbrook, Noela Binns and Joe Atkins. The entertainer Marceau was splendid, showing his various skills in singing and playing his many musical instruments to entertain members.

Looking back NARRE Warren and District Family History Group will be holding an event next month for people who are interested in researching their ancestry. Dave Bradley, the guest speaker for the event, has spent years learning how to effectively research, predominantly using online tools and resources. Dave will also give insight into getting back to pre1800, understanding the significance of location and the importance of sharing and collaborating with other people. The event will be held at the Meeting Room of the Narre Warren Library in Overland Drive, Fountain Gate, on Wednesday, 12 November. It will start at 7.30pm and entry cost is $3.

Got a monster to sell? By LACHLAN MOORHEAD IT’S Monster Garage Sale time for Narre Warren. This Saturday the 1st Narre Warren North Scout Group will hold a Monster Garage Sale at its base, located at 54 Memorial Drive, Narre Warren North. Scout representative Lorelle Smart said the main aim of the garage sale was to help raise

funding for the group’s ongoing hall overhaul project. “The last time that any major upgrades were made on the 80-year-old structure was many years ago,” she said. “Improvements will include an extension and a wheel chair accessible toilet and shower to improve use, and we will have the ability to hire the hall out and continue being a resource to the

community for years to come.” Visitors to the Monster Garage Sale will also be treated to a sausage sizzle and a variety of stalls. “Part of the scout philosophy and practice is to be resourceful and the garage sale is an opportunity to raise funds whilst recycling and repurposing items,” Ms Smart said. “Our membership is grow-

ing, it grew by over 40 per cent last year and the garage sale is a great way to invite the community to participate in our group… we will have activities for boys and girls to try scouting on the day.” The 1st Narre Warren North Scout Group is participating on the Garage Sale Trail with their counterparts, the Narre Warren North Girl Guide Group.

Young film maker’s jab at vaccinations A TALENTED young Casey resident has been announced as the winner for the City of Casey’s short film competition. Amar Haque received $1000 as well as the chance to work with Filmtime Media, a leading local film company, to professionally reshoot his film. The idea behind the short film competition was to highlight the importance of vaccinations for young people. City of Casey Mayor Geoff Ablett congratulated the winner and presented him with a certificate at a council meeting on Tuesday, 7 October. He also congratulated Justin Parn and presented him with a certificate for assisting Amar. “The competition called on young people in Casey to submit a short film which creatively showcased the topic of adolescent vaccination and why it’s important for young people’s health, and the broader health of the community,” he said. “Council received many high-calibre entries. I thank all those who took the time to exercise their filmmaking skills and help council

Winners of Councils ‘Vaccinate’ short film competition were acknowledged at a council meeting this month. From left, Peter Hynes, Filmtime winner Amar Haque, Justin Parn, Terry Old from Kernow Services and Mayor of the City of Casey Geoff Ablett. 129190 highlight the importance of vaccinations. “Amar’s original film was selected as the winner due to its unique, comedic nature and original creative script which focussed on the topic of chickenpox.”

The council also awarded a second prize People’s Choice Award of $500 to the entry which received the most ‘likes’ on the Casey Conversations website from members of the public. An entry by a group of Fountain Gate Secondary College students was the People’s Choice winner. The City of Casey has a low level of vaccination which puts young locals at greater risk of contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. Cr Ablett said this competition demonstrated how the council worked with schools to promote the importance of immunisations. “The competition is a great example of local young people working with council to develop solutions for the community,” he said. “I encourage residents to jump on their computer or mobile and watch this entertaining and educational film.” To view the winning film visit www.casey. vic.gov.au/vaccinateshortfilmcomp. For more information about the council’s vaccination programs, contact the immunisation staff on 9705 5240 or visit the council’s website at www.casey.vic.gov.au/immunisation.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Culture won’t go to waste By CASEY NEILL HALLAM’S Wastech Engineering is in the running for a coveted regional award. New CEO Brett Jones accepted the Greater Dandenong Chamber of Commerce Premier Regional Business Awards nomination at a breakfast at Sandown Greyhound Racing Club in Springvale last Wednesday, 15 October. He has been in the job for three months. “In the interview (technical support manager) Paul (Bone) told me he was a Hawthorn supporter so I signed up,” he said. Mr Jones said the company’s culture also impressed him. “It’s hard to implement a strategy when the culture’s not right,” he said. Recent award wins have buoyed the culture, including the Casey Business of the Year and Casey Manufacturer of the Year for 2013 and, in May, the Melbourne South East (MSE) Business Awards Business of the Year Overall Business Excellence award and the Medium Enterprise category. “I take it as a great challenge and opportunity,” Mr Jones said. Wastech provides standard and custom-designed engineered products and solutions for the recycling and waste industries. The business was started 20 years ago as a three-man operation in a small factory in Dandenong. It has grown to be a leader in the waste industry and employs more than 80 staff, predominantly from the south-eastern suburbs. Wastech’s customers span the entire waste industry, from large national retail stores and shopping centre developments to small supermarkets and suburban retailers. The company collects waste from small industrial settings through to large mining environments and private and government-supported transfer stations. Wastech also gets a lot of business through long-standing relationships with builders of private and public residential and commercial developments. Mr Jones told the breakfast that the company had won its first job in Saudi Arabia the previous week, following a recommendation from client Veolia. “They obviously hold us in high regard,” he said. “The appetite for growth is pretty high.” Wastech has continued to succeed despite challenges facing the manufacturing industry through organic growth and product diversification. The business’s forward thinking and innovation has ensured it has remained an industry leader through testing times. Managing director Neil Bone said Wastech’s broad product range and the level of innovation it applied to its products made it a leader in its field within Australia.

Paul Bone, brother of Neil, is the technical support manager at Wastech engineering. “Innovation and outstanding customer service keeps us ahead of our competitors and high quality product ensures we stay there,” he said. Wastech was the only Casey business to win an MSE award this year. “Manufacturing is a high-pressure

industry and it is terrific to have our growth and success in this industry recognised,” Mr Bone said. “We like to think the judges have recognised the effort we have put into our team approach within the business and the support and opportu-

nity for growth that we offer all our employees. “We have a solid business vision and values system that has been communicated to all our team and is on display in our foyer for all our partners to see and be involved in.”

The Premier Regional Business Awards are now in their 24th year and aim to profile and highlight successful businesses in the region. Winners will be announced and presented at a gala dinner in March next year.

Business profile

Store’s liquor spirits come to life STAFF at IGA Narre Warren South will be celebrating the run-up to Halloween this year with staff dressing up and decorating the store to add some atmosphere and offering free give-aways on Friday, 31 October. The celebrations come after the store extended its trading hours earlier this month. Assistant manager Steve McMana-

mon said the entire store, including the liquor department, is open until 10pm, seven days a week for customers’ convenience. “The new hours will enable us to serve our community better by allowing them to enjoy the spring and summer periods and still have time available to shop after enjoying themselves,” he said. “Our customers can now buy liquor

on the extended hours as well as collecting all their meal needs like barbecue meat, heat beads etc.” “Liquor has a full range of products including imported exotic beers and a full range of wine under $10.” IGA Narre Warren South is on the corner of Seebeck Drive and Ormond Road, Narre Warren South. Phone 8790 2600.

Cavaliers get Strong-er By JARROD POTTER A NEW start on and off the court is the main driver for Lester Strong signing on with the Casey Cavaliers. Strong has pledged to play with the Big V men’s team in 2015 and is set to make an immediate impact as he reunites with former Dandenong SEABL team mate Matt Witherden and coach Stewart Baird. His role at the club is not just to guard the key and reel in rebound after rebound, as Strong will also help develop the next generation of Cavaliers with his off-court role - as he runs clinics, basketball camps and travels around the south-east region visiting schools and teaching the kids how to play. Strong had signed with Bulleen Boomers for the 2014 season but was unable to play due to issues arising from his visa expiring. That change of scenery to Bulleen never eventuated for the former Dandenong/Knox SEABL player, but he’s positive his change to Casey will be the step in the right direction for him. “They (Casey) were looking more long term type of stuff for me - not even just the basketball side of things, but also with employment as well,” Strong said. “It’s been great the last month - I’ve been able to work with great people and getting up every morning and enjoying heading to work.” His signing isn’t complete just yet as he has an impending immigration tribunal meeting in December to discuss whether he can stay in the country

Casey Cavaliers have reinforced their tall brigade with the signing of SEABL champion Lester Strong. 129260 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS and compete with the Cavaliers, but Strong is positive about his chances of staying in Australia and continuing his basketball career. “I get to Bulleen and my sports visa was denied by immigration due to paperwork and whatnot being submitted too late which has caused me now to

sit in front of the tribunal in early December and try to get myself cleared,” Strong said. “ “Talking to the immigration lawyer, everything seems to be going in the right direction - I think immigration understands as far as the position the imports are put to where we can’t sub-

mit forms and what not… it has to be done through a third party... we can’t send it in ourselves.” He looks fondly back on his SEABL All Star Five and the championship victories at Knox and Dandenong and hopes to push Casey towards its elusive first championship win.

“I have some personal goals as far as being able to go out there and do what I’ve been known to do,” Strong said. “Make an impact on rebounds defensively and get up there and not necessarily score - as we have scorers on the team - but when the ball’s in my hands I’ll go to work. “Hopefully help them to achieve and to go ahead and win a championship.” Cavaliers coach Baird said the recruitment of a powerhouse player like Strong indicates the position the club is now in and was thrilled to sign him for the person he is on and off the court. It’s a great reflection of where the club has gone over the last couple of years that a guy like Lester has sat down and could see the benefit of playing here,” Baird said. “Not only as a great athlete and basketballer, but he’s a quality individual as well… basketball in the Casey region - not just Casey Cavaliers - will see some positive outcome from him being in the area.” Strong’s imposing stature will be a headache for all teams to work around. “There are going to be some real testing times - we’ll have to make some adjustments too,” Baird said. “Smart coaches will try to go small against us, but there’s an old saying - as the game wears on, guys get fatigued but no one shrinks. “Lester will still be there at the final siren and will work for us.”

Out of the season, maybe … but not out of touch yet By RUSSELL BENNETT BERWICK City Soccer Club held its second annual Berwick City Cup at Sweeney Reserve over the weekend with more than 30 teams taking part across a range of junior age groups. The first Cup was held last year, providing an opportunity to keep junior players from up to a dozen local clubs together on the pitch for a few more weeks following the end of their season in September. “The disappointing thing from Berwick’s perspective is that none of our teams over the two years have ever been able to make a final,” said Berwick City club president Joe DiIorio with a wry grin. “It’s the same again today - as hosts none of our teams have made it through. “It’s good though. “We’ve had teams from Monbulk, Warragul, Chelsea, Waverley - those sorts of areas - come and compete and it’s a really diverse range of teams.” Clubs from anywhere and everywhere between Monbulk and Warragul come to take part in the two-day showcase, with the rest within or neighbouring the City of Casey - such as Doveton, Endeavour, Riverplate (Rowville) and the Dandenong Warriors. “We’ve got good support from council to use the facilities,” DiIorio said. “They’ve held off on some work for the summer just so we can play the tournament. “This is our second year of hosting the event and each year we improve. “Last year we learnt a few things around scheduling games so we reduced the game

times for some of the younger age groups. “It’s not a league fixture - it’s more of a carnival atmosphere so we treat it more like a gala weekend… a showcase. “There’s a lot more camaraderie you’ll see here with opposition teams than you’d normally see. The coaches are a lot happier to talk after the games and have a chat about how their teams are going for next season.” The weekend also provides a valuable opportunity for clubs to scout potential players. “We do get coaches from other teams come and have a look at the talent,” DiIorio said. “There’re a couple of NPL (National Premier League) junior coaches out here just having a look at the talent and I think they’ve identified a couple of players who are trialing with them currently. “These coaches have managed to see them in a game environment, as opposed to a trial environment where they’re probably not playing 11-on-11. “It’s great for our kids - we’re pleased they can continue to play and train for as long as they possibly can. “Players need development and the view is that we’d like to keep them playing for 10 months of the year. “It’s pleasing from a club perspective that we’ve got a few young kids who’re almost there, about to break through with the Melbourne Victory youth team or the Melbourne City youth team. We’ve got about three in that position at the moment and hopefully a few more will make it in the next few years.”

Touchdown on home ground By JARROD POTTER A BRUISING come-from-behind victory was savoured by Berwick Diamonds Women’s Gridiron Team as they raised their helmets for their first ever win. The big plays came first up on defence as the Diamonds struggled to curtail the running prowess of Raiders’ runningback Alyssa Stewart. Stewart pushed through to score the first touchdown and the following two-point conversion, but the Raiders didn’t have it their way for long as the Diamonds struck back. The howling wind at Rawling Field left both sides struggling to make their long snaps as the Diamonds went to punt and the Raiders tried the shotgun offence. The Raiders’ offensive efforts would backfire as they left their quarterback and running backs open to the relentless tackling of the Berwick defense, led by Silia Johansson-Teoteo and the repositioned efforts of Loretta Williams at defensive end. The Diamonds started to shine in the second term as the wind pushed them towards the end zone and allowed quarterback Vanessa Roman to sneak in around the back of the pocket to make their first touchdown at their home ground. Sarah Mu and Larni Gubatanga combined to push the margin out to 14-8 as the Raiders started to feel the pressure from the Diamonds’ D-line. Northern kept persisting to their final drive - getting some of the longest passing of the day completed - but fell short as co-captain Cat Bouwhuis made the pick that sealed the game. To add extra pain on the Raiders’ day, a final-play hand off to Gubatanga and a couple of great side-steps left her to run in the third touchdown on a whopping 60-yard rush to cap the win and take a 20-8 triumph. Diamonds coach Jamie Stafford said the team’s execution impressed him most as Berwick kept toiling and stuck to the strategy even when the match was favouring Northern.

Start the celebrations! A 60-yard touchdown run gave Larni Gubatunga plenty of reasons to jump for joy in Berwick's first win in the Gridiron Pictures: JARROD POTTER Victoria women's season. 129262 Even getting smashed about by the Raiders' defence didn't stop Bliss Love rushing strongly all afternoon for the Diamonds. 129262

“The biggest difference from this week to the last game we played was obviously experience and not coming in blind to this match,” Stafford said. “We scouted their offense and defense and created a game plan on both sides of the ball and had a good win.” The coach praised his defense with Johansson-TeoTeo and Erin Gubatunga laying out tackles and sacks at will while Williams’ switch to DE also impressed. Not to be outdone by the defense, his offensive arsenal included rushers Bliss Love, Larni Gubatunga and Roman who the coach believes is rapidly improving

and will be a significant threat in the league. “Vanessa is getting better with every training session and every game,” Stafford said. “She works really hard on her quarterback technique and skills and it is starting to show in how she plays. “I thought early she was fantastic very accurate and threw the ball really well.” The Diamonds face Melbourne Uni Lions at Henry Turner Reserve, Footscray on Saturday morning from 10.45am.

League scraps new structure By RUSSELL BENNETT AFTER just one season of its two-division structure, the Ellinbank and District Football League (EDFL) has reverted to its single tier, 15-club competition. The league’s board of management made the decision last week to scrap the much-maligned twodivision format that was made up of seven teams (such as Cora Lynn, Kooweerup, Nar Nar Goon and Garfield) in the West, and eight in the East. The News understands the 15-team structure is a way of safeguarding the league in case it can’t attract new clubs to make the switch from neighbouring competitions in the near future, and - in fact - loses some of their own. The seven-club West simply wouldn’t be workable if clubs were to leave. Local opinion about the move back to a single-division structure is largely split along East-West lines. Fans out East, and seemingly most of those involved at clu-

bland, would have preferred to keep the two-division system to give the likes of the struggling Nyora, Poowong and Nilma Darnum more of a chance of winning matches regularly in their own competition. A key difference in the 15team structure moving forward, though - as opposed to the way it operated prior to the 2014 season - is that there will be a final eight instead of the six-team finals. EDFL manager and secretary Ken Moore said the league was looking at a seeded draw too, acknowledging that some struggling clubs were adversely affected this year by having to play the top sides three times.

CCFL to go it alone By DAVID NAGEL CASEY Cardinia Football Netball League clubs will continue to seek a withdrawal from their governing body, PCN Sports Alliance, despite AFL Victoria Country’s attempts to play mediator between the two parties. The CCFNL clubs have sent a list of their grievances to both AFL Vic Country and PCNSA, with AFL Vic Country Football Manager Brett Connell and AFL South East Region General Manager Jeremy Bourke meeting yesterday with PCNSA Chairman Stuart Gilchrist and CEO Jeff Jones to discuss the club’s issues. But the clubs are standing firm, wanting nothing to do with PCNSA in 2015 as they look to break free and govern their own competition. Points raised against PCNSA by

the clubs include poor communication, a lack of trust, exorbitant fees, poor strategic direction and a general lack of service and attention. PCNSA govern three leagues, Casey Cardinia, Nepean and Peninsula, and it’s understood AFL Vic Country’s intervention has come about after PCNSA raised concerns that the departure of the CCFNL clubs would have a serious impact on its operations going forward. The ball is currently in PCNSA’s court in regards to the club’s withdrawal, with the nine clubs, Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Hampton Park, Narre Warren, Pakenham, ROC and Tooradin, waiting on an invitation to a special meeting where they will seek exemption from Rule 14.1, which states 12 months’ notice must be given of the club’s intention to resign from the league.

Dushan puts them up the creek By JARROD POTTER DANDENONG DISTRICT CRICKET ASSOCIATION REVIEW - ROUND 2 (day 1) OUTMUSCLED on their home turf, Buckley Ridges was left to watch on as Berwick (9/311) flayed a monster tally at Park Oval. From all parts of the order Berwick had the upper hand. Buckley Ridges could not break the partnerships quickly enough as Ryan Williamson (36), Jarrod Goodes (20) and Bathiya Perera (21) started the onslaught. The true feast began after Dan Brown (28) fell to Wes Nicholas (2/102). It brought Dushan Wickramarathna (83) to the crease to commence his bombing raid. Wickramarathna was lethal to the flora and fauna surrounding the Dandenong Creek as he pummelled the river with six after six. His 83 came at one-day speed, leaving the last flourishes to Cory Bevan (41 not out) as Berwick surmounted 300. Dan Haasbroek (3/36) was tidy with his quicks and Matt Goodwright (2/54) also chipped in to claim a couple of wickets. Cranbourne (277) has shown Heinz Southern Districts (1/15) its intent to be the best in the City of Casey, with a Steve Spoljaric (70) led smash-fest. The three-time Wookey Medallist has taken aim at Wookey number four after his dissection of the Cobras’ bowling attack created a launching pad for his team mates. Spoljaric thumped his 70 from 91 balls and including seven fours and a six just for good measure. The next wave of Eagle attacks came from Te Ahu Davis (58) and Cameron Kelly (56). The Davis-Kelly partnership put 64 in the bank for Cranbourne and Kelly kept on chugging to get to his first Turf 1 half-century. For the home side, Justin Davis (4/70) toiled across 26 overs to curtail the Eagles. Davis (1/3) cashed in with one last flourish in the dying overs - snaring Keith Perumal (3) to cap off an emphatic day for Cranbourne. Steve Masterson (80) led Springvale South (277) to an imposing target as the Bloods dripped down the order against Hallam Kalora Park (0/4). Masterson, Nathan King (29) and Mitch Forsyth (24) pushed the tally to 3/143 before leaving it to the lengthened batting order to get the job done. Captain Craig Slocombe (31) went the tonk for a quick-fire salvo while the recently landed imports Ruwantha Kellepotha (25) and Yoshan Kumara (23) steered the Bloods towards stumps. Hallam could only contain the Bloods’ effort as wickets fell but not quickly enough. William Whyte (3/48) and Jordan Hammond (3/53) speared through half the order as Jake Cutting (2/46) also inflicted some pain on the visitors.

All-round stunner By RUSSELL BENNETT and JARROD POTTER WEST GIPPSLAND CRICKET ASSOCATION A STUNNING hat-trick from Pakenham rising star all-rounder Zac Chaplin (4/23) was the undisputed highlight of the Lions’ away Premier win over Beaconsfield. The Tigers won the toss and elected to bat and opened with their two best run-scorers - last season’s District division superbat Brendan Johnson (16) and skipper Don Kerslake (74). The decision loomed as a masterstroke as the pair put on 59 for the first wicket before Chris Smith (2/15) struck. Kerslake seemed undeterred despite wickets falling around him and dragged his side to 3/123 before being bowled by Lehman (2/15). But from there - and what looked like being a promising total - the Tigers (137) collapsed - losing their last seven wickets for just 17 runs. Chaplin was simply devastating through the Beaconsfield middleorder. Chasing 138 for victory, there were more promising signs for a Lions side skippered by Jack Anning in the absence of usual skipper Jason Williams. Lehman (44) and Smith (41) put on their first sizeable opening stand of the season and it could yet prove one that propels them to big things over the coming weeks. The Lions ultimately reached the Tigers’ total in just 33 overs and for the loss of just three wickets. In the other results of the Premier round, Cardinia (8/184 cc) turned the tables on Kooweerup (130) in its grand final rematch, Tooradin (9/196 cc) defeated Emerald (150) at Berwick’s Haileybury campus, and Merinda Park (9/112) crawled over the line against Upper Beaconsfield (111). Meanwhile in District division Clyde (6/168 cc) left the heavy lifting to John Simpson (104 not out) in its win over Officer (7/131 cc). Simpson strolled to the crease and was unfazed by the Bullants’ attack, setting about his work while the rest of the Cougars decided a

Helping out Simpson most of all were extras (17) and beyond the charity of Officer, Clyde wicketkeeper James Abou-Jaber (16) and Gav Adams (12). Shane White (2/39) toiled for the Bullants alongside the economic Toyosi Solanke (1/10) but neither could steal the match-changing wicket of Simpson as he strolled towards his fourth WGCA century. White (42 not out) would be the number-one man again in Officer’s chase as he stood tall while the Bullants around him scurried back to the sheds. Miles (3/28) showed a little more aptitude with the ball than with

the bat earlier in the day and Noel O’Brien (2/31) also added a couple of wickets to the Clyde initiative. Elsewhere, making fools of all who doubted them, the Rebels yelled their way to their third victory as Cranbourne Meadows (152) held off Devon Meadows (9/139). Showing their top-billing in District isn’t just an early season fluke, the ladder-leading Rebels had to fight back after a top-order collapse created by Matt Hutchinson (2/16) and Mick Floyd (2/29). The Panthers’ opening duo proved difficult to get off the square as their 15.4 overs only went for 45 runs. A middle-order revival from Brent Murdoch (30) and Tom Smith

Horns locked, but Allen key to Eagles’ run By JARROD POTTER VSDCA REVIEW - ROUND 2 (day 1) SUBBIES’ south-east rivalry renewed again as Endeavour Hills (146) and Noble Park (1/66) locked horns at Sydney Pargeter Reserve. The reigning premiers flexed their mighty bowling attack early as the Eagles lost Justin Merlino (1) to a Rizan Mawzoon (4/53) thunderbolt that edged to Mevan Fernando. The responsibility fell to Zach Allen (50) - with the Southern Pioneers representative batsman showcasing his true capabilities. His last big knock was 83 plundered on the MCG in February against Inner South East Scorpions - but his steadying half-ton on Saturday held great significance to the Endeavour Hills’ revival. Allen would lose his wicket immediately after raising the bat as Fernando (1/24) straightened one of his spinners to force the young batsman out LBW. Andrew Berman (2/14) and Mawzoon continued to chip away at the Eagles before Ben

Swift (43) stopped their advance. Swift was left to anchor the innings as wickets fell about him. The wicketkeeper-batsman posted his best score for the club and was only denied a half-century by a lack of support at the other end. Mawzoon and Marasinghe Perera (2/31) also played a significant part

(41 not out) kept Cranbourne Meadows in the middle with Smith carrying on stabilising the tail-end effort. Ben Hussey (2/42) aided the openers with a pair of scalps. In reply Devon Meadows leaned on Darren O’Brien (66) to battle through the Rebels’ attack. O’Brien was left marooned at the middle without any tangible support outside of captain Nathan Worsteling’s 13. Any Rebel that stepped up to the stumps earned a wicket with John Emery (2/25) and Geoff Bradshaw (1/25) proving as effective as their opposite openers. O’Brien’s wicket would fall to Bradshaw at 8/129 and spelled the end for the Panthers’ chasing chances.

Swans get that sinking feeling By JARROD POTTER

A well-made half century from Zach Allen was the best from Endeavour Hills. 129255 Pictures: JARROD POTTER season continued as Chris Periera (1/19) found the opening wicket. O’Meara’s edge to Merlino would be the only Eagles’ highlight for the Noble Park innings as Sanjeewa de Silva (30 not out) and Perera (26) knocked off nearly half the required total by stumps.

CASEY-SOUTH MELBOURNE is one of three winless teams in Victorian Premier Cricket following the first four rounds of the season after dropping both its games on the weekend - first to Melbourne Uni, and then to the top-of-the-table Fitzroy Doncaster. Uni set the Swans a target of 174 for victory at home on Saturday, but the Casey side fell 24 runs short (149). Shane Maggs (36 not out and 2/12) had a strong all-around game, while Michael Wallace also added 33. Sunday’s result was even more comprehensive with Fitzroy Doncaster (8/247) easily accounting for Casey (8/174) at Casey Fields. Maggs (25) and Wallace (25) continued where they left off with the willow but they were unable to convert on their promising starts. Wicket-keeper batsman Rob Elston (37 not out) top-scored for the Swans but Fitzroy skipper Peter Dickson (69) proved the difference-maker for his side. The young Casey-South Melbourne side will look to kick-start its season on Saturday when it faces the Greenvale Kangaroos at Gardens Oval in Benalla.

Cougars sitting tight By RUSSELL BENNETT THE Berwick City Cougars still sit in second spot on the Victorian Summer League Baseball Division 2 ladder despite a 9-4 loss at the hands of a hometown Malvern on Sunday. After a strong start to the season, in which Berwick won its first two games, the senior Cougars outfit was given something of a reality check on the weekend. Runs to Alex Clark, Jesse Hunter, John O’Connor and Aaron Ouwehand weren’t enough to combat the influence of in-form Malvern hitter Yoshi Campitelli, who finished with three of his own. Hubert Lau also had two, with singles each to Scott Ashton, James Lewis, Jordan Moore-Liester and Gavin Woolger as Malvern drew level with the Cougars on the win-loss ledger with two wins and a loss. Despite the result, the young Berwick outfit has a lot to look forward to. Having such a large youth contingent, the future looks bright for the boys from Cyril Molyneux Reserve. Coach Ronnie Carothers spoke very highly of not only the younger members but the team as a whole. “There’s a good chemistry between the youth and the seasoned vets,” he told the News recently. “It looks like it’s going to be a very big year because our youth are looking so good.” Looking ahead, the plan for the club is very clear as far as Carothers is concerned. “Youth is definitely the way to go and is the policy of our club,” he said. “You just let them go out there and if they make mistakes it doesn’t matter.” Berwick City will host Sunshine this Saturday from 3.30pm.

Shepley Oval up there with the best By JARROD POTTER

WHETHER Stingray or Panther, all athletes will benefit from the completed works to Shepley Oval’s main pavilion. The Keith Miller Pavilion at Shepley Oval has watched over the likes of Dandenong Redlegs champions Jim “Frosty” Miller and Tony Elshaug, test cricketers Peter Siddle and Cameron White as well as a litany of Dandenong Stingrays’ rising stars and will continue to house the best and brightest south-east sportspeople into the future after a well-needed renovation. After a long, and at times frustrating, year of capital works on the site the facilities were completed this week prior to unveiling by Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti, Victorian Minister for Sport and Recreation Damian Drum and representatives from AFL Victoria and Cricket Victoria on Saturday morning. With a $1.25 million price tag, the renovations have brought Shepley Oval up to the best in the state alongside facilities at Casey Fields and Highgate Reserve and will likely draw additional high-calibre

City of Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti opened the redeveloped Keith Miller Pavilion at Shepley Oval on Saturday. 129251 Picture: JARROD POTTER clashes to the venue such as state representative games and junior national championships. The Greater Dandenong Council contributed $650,000 to the redevelopment with significant contributions also being allocated by the Victorian Government ($312,000), AFL Victoria ($200,000) and Cricket Victoria ($40,000). “It is a wonderful asset to our city and it is home to Greater Dan-

denong’s premier Australian Rules football and men’s cricket clubs,” Memeti said. “The redevelopment of this pavilion will also enable these clubs to prosper to an elite level catering for the future development of clubs particular growth into junior pathways.” The redevelopment included the creation of two large change rooms, upgraded amenities, a dedicated ice

bath room, new medical, physio and coaches rooms, a new gymnasium and upgraded offices for AFL Victoria and the Dandenong Stingrays. Stingrays region manager Mark Wheeler said the redevelopments allow the TAC Cup club to step up to the next level with a comfortable training and playing space. “The facility was something we always said we needed to get upgraded to give us a level playing field and now that we’ve got it, I think for the boys it just makes them a little bit more comfortable each week when they come to training,” Wheeler said. The facility will be put through its rigours in November when the Dandenong Stingrays commence training for its under-18 men and newly formed Youth Girls’ Academy. “It’s (women’s football) one of our biggest growth sports - we’ve got to make sure we look after that,” Wheeler said. “120-plus trying out for a squad of 45 is amazing and the girls that are trying out could match it out here with the boys and that’s great.”

Narre turns the tide and wins in two rinks NARRE WARREN BOWLS PENNANT RESULTS MIDWEEK - ROUND 3 DIVISION one played Noble Park at home and after their narrow loss last week came back with a strong performance with two rinks winning and a 25-shot win, 65/40. Shirley Bell, Judy Naughton, Wilma Stevenson and Ian Brotherton won 22/12. Carl Lapham, Wilma Harringsma, Eric Sydenham and Jimmy Millar won 28/9. Trus Heneman, Keith Mark, Rod Lane and Enid Gibb lost 15/19. Division three were away at Waverley Golf and continued some great form, making it three from three with a hard fought win by eight shots, 61/53. Two rinks up and one down, an unexpected start by our twos, yes, it is a long season but the guy’s and girls are enjoying the winning feeling. Cathy Pater,

Janice Moran, Nancy Pugh and John Green won 21/18. Sep VanMaanen, Andy Tobler, Gary Gilchrist and Ray Pigdon won 22/14. Arthur Fitt, Peter Pater, Ethel VanMaanen and Micki Horton lost 18 /21. SATURDAY Division two hosted our close neighbours Hampton Park and, with two rinks up and two down, ran out winners by seven shots, 79/72. Ernesto Vergaro, Alan Dawson, Iain Stevenson and Jeff Parker won 32/9. Karen Murray, Keith Mark, Greg Cowan and Ian Brotherton won 20/2. Jimmy Millar, Paul O’Day, Wilma Stevenson and Rod Lane lost 14/20. Shirley Bell, Eric Sydenham, Neville Bradley and Erik Lutyters lost 15/18. Division three travelled to

Cranbourne and played on a difficult green but after some close rinks were still good enough to bring home the spoils with a hardfought seven-shot win, 83/76. It was not an easy day but the teams’ persistence paid off with three of the four rinks winners. Ray Pigdon, Carl Lapham, Kerry Davis and Reg Johnstone won 18/16. Stan Firmin, Rick Hoare, Andy Kidd and John Heathcote lost 19/26. Luka Klarica, Jim Sheahan, Wilma Harringsma and Geoff Miller won 23/20. Glen Cadman, Fred Fox, John Zanon and Stan Robinson won 23/14. Division seven played on the fast Pakenham carpet - a very difficult assignment for visiting teams - and were totally outclassed but it was a great learning curve for our inexperienced team.

Darren Moore, Janice Moran, Ethel VanMaanen and first time skip Graeme Dodd won 27/9. Arthur Fitt, Steve Boyd, Rudi Pompe and John Green lost 16/27. Leo McGeary, Stan Birkett, Damian Brick and Micki Horton lost 7/43. Peter Lister, Reg Young, Jack Norman and Peter Castricum lost 16/19. Division eight was at home to Hampton Park and played an undermanned team and had a four shot win, 40/36. Clubs find it difficult at times to put a full team on the green in the lower divisions which is not encouraging for novice bowlers. Zade Bulmer, Jack Castricum, Stan Bulmer and Ern Rodrigues lost 17/24. Travis Moore, Peter Pater, Norm Hosmer and Andy Tobler won 23/12.

Casey meets cycling criterium challenge SCHOOL against school, rider versus rider... the challenge begins next weekend. Fresh off the success of the Victorian Schools Cycling Championships, Cycling Victoria has launched the Victorian Interschool Cycling Series (VICS), a battle between the schools and students to see which college can rise to the top. The seven-leg series takes riders to criteriums and venues around Victoria to test their mettle against the best peddlers in the state. Tour de France yellow jersey wearing champion Simon Gerrans is the ambassador of the series and believes every pedal stroke a cyclist takes is one that could be the difference between becoming a world champion. “Cycling is an amazing sport and has taken me all over the world and given me some amazing opportuni-

ties,” Gerrans said on the Cycling Victoria website. “It can be a hard sport to get into, though, that’s why I’m supporting the new initiative to get cycling in to schools. “Seven Saturday events at various safe events around Melbourne - you can represent your school, including criteriums, individual time trials and team time trials where you can race with your mates.” The first leg of the championships will be held on Saturday 25 October at Casey Fields Critierium, with the prologue individual time trial (ITT) serving as a grading event for riders. For more information on the VICS competition, head to the Cycling Victoria link - www.vic.cycling.org.au/Get-Involved/Victorian-Interschool-Cycling-Series.

The success of the VSCC has given rise to Cycling Victoria's next series - the Victorian Interschool Cycling Championships - starting Picture: JARROD POTTER at Casey Fields on Saturday. 104234

�� Reviews and news…

Skoda enters the space age By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE arrival of the Skoda Rapid in May 2014 could well represent a coming of age for the Czech-based carmaker in Australia. While there have been about half a dozen previous models since the company returned here in 2007 most have fallen in the ‘quirky’ category and haven’t really left their mark on the sales charts. By contrast the Rapid, or Rapid Spaceback to give it its full name, is a mainstream small-medium five-door hatch that is taking on the big guns in that category including Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai i30. The ‘back’ in the name refers more to rear passenger space which is quite expansive rather than storage space which is average for the class. Interestingly the Rapid name isn’t new, having been first used back in the 1930s when Skoda was a stand-alone manufacturer rather than the Volkswagen subsidiary that it is now. Two variants are available here, Ambition and Elegance, with prices ranging from $18,990 to $23,750 before on-road costs. While other Skoda models such as the original Roomster and the Yeti SUV attract attention, and divide opinion, styling of the Rapid is far less noticeable with lines which are neat and compact but conservative.

Styling of the new Skoda Rapid Sportback is neat and competent, though it doesn’t generate any excitement.

Having said that the addition of a panoramic glass roof, part of the optional Style Pack ($1800 in the Elegance and $2100 with the Ambition) adds an extra dimension. The red Elegance with black roof and rear window that we tested attracted quite a bit of attention. The non-opening glass roof comes with a manually-operated blind which reduces sunlight although we still prefer the option of being able to shut out the sunlight altogether. It’s in the rear of the passenger compartment rather than the storage

area that the Rapid Spaceback lives up to its name with excellent leg and headroom As is the norm with press test cars, Skoda loaded the Rapid with plenty of options, adding the Sports Pack to the aforementioned Style Pack. Ranging from $1000 in the Elegance to $1600 in the Amibition (or $1400 with the Style Pack) the Sports Pack adds a range of extra features both inside and out including front sports seats, stainless steel pedals, privacy glass and rear parking sensors. At 384 litres the boot is around av-

erage for the class but is deep and easy to load. There’s also a retractable cargo blind that can be stored vertically behind the back seats and so eliminate the common problem of storing the cover or leaving it behind when carrying tall loads. Another neat feature is an insert that turns one of the two front drink holders into a mobile phone holder. Unfortunately it blocks off access to the second drink holder so you can’t use both at the same time. Two engines are offered, both mod-

ern direct-injection turbocharged petrol units. The smaller 1.2-litre peaks at 77 kilowatts of power, and 175 Newton metres of torque from 1550 to 4100 rpm; the 1.4-litre reaches 90 kW, and 200 Nm between 1500 and 4000 rpm revs. The 77 kW unit comes only with a six-speed manual gearbox beside it, the 90 kW has a seven-speed DSG automatic. Rapid gets the expected five-star ANCAP rating courtesy of standard safety features that include front, side and curtain airbags, ABS brakes, electronic stability control with hill hold, ISOFIX child seat anchorage points and daytime running lights. Smart shoppers who are looking for a capable, economical and well-priced small car with a European heritage and willing to think outside the square should certainly check out Skoda Rapid before making their decision.

Power generation By EWAN KENNEDY

HOLDEN PROFESSIONAL CARE 1158086-EG41-14

HSV has just released details of the upgrades to its Gen-F series. Upgrades to the Gen-F include the extraction of even power and torque from the big V8s, a facelift to give an even more positive stance on the road, additional colour choice and new personalisation items. The upgrades start with an increase in power and torque, to 340kW and 570Nm, on HSV’s three R8 models, the ClubSport R8, ClubSport R8 Tourer and Maloo R8. Power increases on the HSV ClubSport and Maloo models see them lifted to 325kW, which is the same power output as the previous E Series 3 GTS. This gain is due to the fitment of a high-flow exhaust system with an X-pipe intermediate. The standardisation of a bi-modal muffler is part of the package. Changes to the electronics on the exhaust system will now be fitted to all HSV models with the exception of Grange. It’s aimed at giving you an even throatier engine note. Sounds good to us, however we haven’t yet had a chance to get behind the wheel of one of the new HSVs, as soon as we do we will report back in detail. Many HSV buyers still like the added control given by a six-speed manual gearbox. If you do opt for an sixspeed automatic all models

HSV ClubSport R8. now come with steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters. The HSV GTS now has a distinctive Dark Stainless finish on its 20-inch Blade forged alloy wheels. The 20-inchers on the HSV R8 models are finished with Tornado Grey accents. Two new colours have been added: some Like It Hot, a rich bronze/red and Jungle Green, an iridescent olive green, will be introduced to the range (these supersede Karma and Fantale). Vehicle personalisation items include the availability of a new high-mounted Hyperflow Performance rear spoiler for the ClubSport, ClubSport R8 and GTS. A Pitch Black Style option will be available on the three R8 models. Pitch Black sees black accenting on the side vents and mirror housings, together with the low-line spoiler on the ClubSport R8 sedan and the tailgate on the ClubSport R8 Tourer wagon.

Obviously very proud of his new range, HSV’s managing director Tim Jackson said: “It’s fair to say that the market acceptance of the GEN-F range since its launch last year has exceeded all our expectations. “We’re confident the enhancements we’re making to power, styling and vehicle personalisation will further embed HSV as the first choice for performance vehicle enthusiasts.” To arrange a test drive contact Barry Bourke Holden, 755 Princes Highway, Berwick, on 9707 2222. Model range ClubSport (manual) $61,990; Maloo (manual) $59,990; ClubSport R8 (manual) $73,290; Maloo R8 (manual) $69,990; ClubSport R8 Tourer (now auto only) $76,490; Senator Signature (manual and auto) $83,990; Grange (auto only) $85,990; GTS (manual) $94,490; GTS Maloo (manual) $87,990.

Motoring

New Hyundai goes on tour By PETER ANDERSON HYUNDAI’S form in the wagon department stretches back almost 15 years with the courier’s favourite, the curvy Lantra wagon. The new i30 Tourer landed about a year ago and we were impressed. To see if our experiences with the car were justified, we’ve got our hands on the top-selling Active as a longtermer to see if it can cope with the demands we’ve been saving up for it. The Tourer range starts with the petrol-engined manual Active opening the bidding at an entirely reasonable $24,990. For $2250 extra you can have a sixspeed automatic. The diesel manual starts at $27,590 and asks the same $2250 for automatic. The range finishes at $33,440 for the Elite. The Active specification comes with a six-speaker stereo with USB, Bluetooth and MP3 CD; remote central locking; cruise control, projector headlamps; cloth trim; and trip computer. There’s even a full size spare of the same design of alloy wheels as those fitted to the outside. The only option for the Czech-built Hyundai Tourer is metallic paint at $495. The colour palette is restricted to four colours, two solid, two metallic. Hyundai i30 is not a bad car to start with but the wagon addition is well integrated and may just be the best looking of the range. The Active comes with 16-inch alloys, roof rails, spoiler and LED driving lights for a touch of sophistication. While the wagon stretch is restrict-

ed to the bodywork it adds a staggering amount of space. Rattling around the boot when you take delivery is a removable cargo blind and vertical cargo net that can be fitted behind the front seats when you've got a big load. The tailgate opens high and wide to a floor flush with the rear bulkhead which means easy loading and, as we discovered, a good place from which to picnic in the rain. The boot floor hides a few good sized bins in the space around the spare and there are pockets and nets either side. The boot size and shape actually compares favourably to much larger cars - a VF Commodore Sportwagon’s boot doesn't appear to swallow a lot more than the i30 but is in a substantially larger package. Incidentally, the i30 Tourer has more boot volume with the seats up than its big brother the ix35 SUV. The cabin is standard i30, a mature easy-on-the eye design with plenty of storage scattered throughout. The i30 comes standard with seven airbags (including knee bag for the driver), ABS, traction and stability control and seatbelts with load limiters and pretensioners. A small touchscreen controls the stereo and phone functions (some controls are replicated on the steering wheel). It also displays the time. It’s simple and straightforward and works fine. The six-speaker stereo won’t make your ears bleed either from poor quality or by having too much power. It’s perfectly adequate for most of us.

Massive interior space in a small car footprint. Plugging in your phone via USB gives some extra functionality over Bluetooth as well as displaying album art and playlist selection. The diesel in the Tourer is Hyundai's 1.6 litre turbo, coupled to the company’s own six-speed automatic transmission. It produces 94 kW at a high-ish 4000 rpm along with a 260 Nm of torque between 1900 rpm and 2750 rpm. Hyundai claims 5.8 litres per 100 km. The engine also features a driveby-wire throttle but conspicuous by its absence - as it is across the Hyundai range - is stop-start. In normal running, the i30 keeps up with traffic far better than we suspect the petrol might. The turbo-diesel provides plenty of power and torque to move a car filled to roof after a long-weekend trip to Bunnings and has the brakes to match. Progress is smooth, the only downside being that the single mode transmission is a less-than-keen downshifter.

Towing capacity is an impressive 650 kg unbraked and 1500 kg braked. The multi-link rear suspension helps keep things in check Thanks to its multi-link rear and the already-tidy handling courtesy of the Australian tuning, Hyundai i30 is an uncommonly handy device. Forgetting the gimmicky user-selectable Flex steer (stick it in Normal and never touch it again), the Tourer is great fun to fling around. You do have to drive around the tardy throttle response and take control of the shifting (and if you do want to shift the transmission manually, the up and down are the “wrong” way around to my way of thinking). Grip is impressive given the weight over the nose and it takes a bit of work to make the car understeer. Understeer it will, of course, but not to the degree of some of its rivals. The engine is clearly diesel when you listen, with a bit of start-up clatter and the occasional blast of smoke on full throttle. It's not especially quiet, but if

you’ve heard the average Hyundai petrol, it’s less of a coarse buzz and more a gravelly grumble. In the cruise it’s much quieter, with tyre, wind and engine noise welldamped, but you'll still need to raise your voice slightly for the back seat passengers. The seats are comfortable for longish trips, front and back although rear middle seat passengers will be a little squeezy. The i30 has settled into family life, dealing with ongoing minor renovation work slightly better than its predecessor, the ix35. It’s an easier car to load and get around in with its more compact size but gives nothing away in the space race. It’s also good looking and when the mood takes, a bit of fun to drive with a grippy, forgiving chassis. It won’t be scaring any supercars or hot hatches but, all the same, it’s good fun. There’s a long trip planned to see how it fares with holiday distances as well as continuing its role as load-lugger. The early signs are good. The Hyundai range is available for test drive at Cranbourne Hyundai, 200 High Street, Cranbourne, phone 5995 1188. Model range Active 1.6-litre petrol five-door wagon: $24,990 (manual), $27,240 (automatic); Active CRDi 1.6-litre petrol five-door wagon: $27,590 (manual), $29,840 (automatic); Elite CRDi 1.6-litre petrol five-door wagon: $33,440 (automatic).
