PERSON OF THE

YEAR

2014 By BRIDGET SCOTT

Jake is this year’s Cranbourne News Person of the Year. 107622 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS Jake Ward ran from Sydney back to his Cranbourne home this year to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. 128868 “It was to raise money and awareness, and that’s what I have done,” he said. Looking ahead, Jake said he would not rule out another fund-raiser, but said it was all about making the next one bigger and better. He said he would love to raise more money and awareness. “So long as the body keeps working,” he said. “You can’t go shorter - it has to be bigger and better each time.” Jake said it was a rewarding feeling

to say he went by foot from Sydney to Melbourne, a rare feat. “I think the accomplishment when you say it out loud (is great),” he said. “Most people fly it, to say you made it by foot is really good.” Jake said he received messages from eight different countries when he completed his most recent accomplishment, as well as one from every state in Australia. Overwhelmed by the support he received, the Cranbourne News was there to watch him cross the finish line,

supportive words along the way. Jake said he felt like the “luckiest guy in the world” and described the journey as a “long trip.” “My body gave up, but you guys didn’t,” he told the welcome home party. He said his pain wasn’t real compared to what some people had to go through in life. The VCAL trainer and disability worker is one to keep an eye on, with plans for a bigger quest sure to be in the works.

and witnessed a close-to-speechless competitor. Despite his unforgiving body, mental strength took over physical strength during the final leg, allowing Jake to run the last stretch of his hike as family and friends lined the footpath to welcome him home. Emotion overcame the runner as he stepped foot on his driveway into the welcoming arms of his aunt and his mother. Cancer survivors were also among the mix to greet him, after sending him

A GIFT came early for the now 30-year-old Jake Ward who said being crowned the Cranbourne News Person of the Year 2014 was a “nice early birthday present.” It was hard to look any further than the admirable Cranbourne East man who trekked from Sydney to his home early last year to raise money for breast cancer. Combined efforts have allowed Jake to raise nearly $50,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a charity close to his heart after the disease took the lives of his aunt and cousin. Jake’s massive efforts would be more than some people can even imagine. In 2013, he left his home on 7 December for a 110-kilometre run around Casey and Frankston, raising more than $8000. The following year, Jake took it up a notch, embarking on a 16day journey from Sydney to his home, raising more than $40,000. Reflecting on his achievements, Jake said he wanted to do something with a “wow factor.” “Running long distances is the only thing I am good at,” he said. Jake said he “didn’t run for awards”.

Jailed after crash By CASEY NEILL A TRUCK driver will spend up to five years in jail over a fatal Dandenong South train crash. Supreme Court of Victoria Justice Lex Lasry on 18 December sentenced Melville Bollen, 71, to five years in jail, with a minimum two years and six months, over the 3 November 2012 incident at Abbotts Road. Bollen, formerly of Narre Warren North, drove his semi-trailer through lowered boom gates and collided with the six-carriage Cranbournebound train about 11.40am. Cranbourne West man David Cron, 43, died from head and chest injuries at the scene and four other passengers were injured. Train driver Trevor King suffered a brain injury and fractures to his ribs, hands and feet. Victim impact statements indicated that other passengers now feared using public transport and had increased anxiety about bad things happening to them or their family, flashbacks and nightmares. Bollen pleaded guilty to culpable driving and multiple charges of negligently causing serious injury.

Complaint is dropped

The derailed train carriages after the collison with a truck at Dandenong South.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD COUNCILLOR Rosalie Crestani has withdrawn her discrimination complaint with the Equal Opportunity Commission against Casey’s Mayor and CEO. Cr Crestani announced last Tuesday that she would be withdrawing her complaints against City of Casey Mayor Mick Morland and CEO Mike Tyler that she had lodged with both the Commission and the Councillor Code of Conduct Panel. Cr Crestani demanded last year that Casey Mayor Mick Morland resign from his position after she was prevented from raising an amendment to stop the council from promoting same-sex relationships. Cr Crestani has now said she would be withdrawing the complaints after a “great deal of soul searching” and would no longer seek the mayor’s resignation. “I have come to realise what I had set out to achieve in representing the public interest has since veered from the path that I feel is beneficial to all the parties involved,” she said. “My heart is to work in conjunction with my colleagues to achieve greater outcomes for our residents.” Cr Crestani’s fellow Four Oaks Ward councillor Rafal Kaplon came out publicly as gay in November after she attempted to raise the motion to stop the City of Casey promoting awareness of different sexual orientations. Cr Crestani’s motion sought to stop the council from issuing media releases and remove signs concerning sexual orientation or the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community. Cr Crestani, who was a candidate for the Rise Up Australia Party (RUAP) in the Victorian election, also sought to abolish the council’s LGBTI diversity training program. Cr Crestani was removed from her role on a number of council committees after last year’s acrimony. Cr Morland, who met with her last Wednesday, said it would be a whole council decision as to whether Ms Crestani was ever re-admitted onto the committees. The first ordinary council meeting for 2015 will take place on Tuesday 20 January.

He’d been a professional driver for almost 50 years and was not speeding at the time of the crash. “For the whole of your working life, your attitude to your driving has been responsible,” Justice Lasry said. Witnesses said Bollen was looking downwards as he approached the cross-

ing, looked up and realised the situation at the last moment, and tried to brake and steer around the boom gates. “The fact that you were distracted for as long as 19 seconds naturally makes this a very serious offence,” Justice Lasry said. “It is certain you were not paying

anywhere near the attention to your driving that you should have been.” He said he was confident that Bollen would “live a law-abiding life once you are released”. Justice Lasry also cancelled his licence and disqualified him from obtaining a licence for five years.

Labor win tick By LACHLAN MOORHEAD CASEY is among the seven southeastern councils which have welcomed the arrival of the new Victorian Government, with Labor having made a string of election promises for the municipality. South East Melbourne (SEM) Chair and City of Frankston Mayor Sandra Mayer said her council coalition had been monitoring and assessing Labor’s election pledges against regional priorities during the election campaign and was pleased with the initial results. “We are encouraged by the fact that many of the commitments made are consistent with our regional priorities and we look forward to sitting down with the new government to discuss exactly how and when each promise will be delivered,” she said. Labor’s election promises regarding the City of Casey include the removal of the Hallam and Berwick

railway crossings, for which funding has already been confirmed, and a $5 million upgrade of Hampton Park Primary School. The State Government has also pledged to install public toilets at Hallam station, and promised a $175 million duplication of Thompsons Road, in addition to a $106 million upgrade of Casey Hospital. “We’ll also be seeking to learn more about how SEM communities will benefit from broader state-wide commitments including the Back to Work program, aimed at creating 100,000 jobs and the plan for Fairer, Safer Housing,” Ms Mayer said. She also said the south-east councils were in the final stages of developing their first regional plan and would be seeking commitments from regional MPs during the coming months. “While we are grateful for all of these important announcements,

A 19-YEAR-OLD from Narre Warren was charged on summons last month after a bird was shot with an arrow at Wilson’s Promontory. The teenager was charged with aggravated cruelty following the incident in which the bird was shot at Shallow Inlet, in Wilson Promontory National Park, on Sunday 28 December. The bird has still not been located by authorities. Wildlife Victoria spokeswoman Amy Amato said there had been an increase over summer of animals being impaled by objects - many of which appeared intentional. “We’re getting lots of calls about this sort of thing,” she said. “It’s been a reoccurrence over the last month or so, this holiday period we’ve seen an increase in these types of incidents. “Whether people are just on holidays and it’s turning into this, I don’t know.”

Ms Amato said the recently recorded incidents included the use of items such as “spear-like devices” and kebab skewers. “It’s absolutely despicable, it’s disgusting what people can do to an innocent animal,” Ms Amato said. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or Wildlife Victoria on 1300 094 535.

Warning on teen crash A SHATTERED grandfather and former highway patrol officer issued a timely warning to young drivers following an accident which left his young granddaughter fighting for her life. Four teenagers were involved in an accident on 5 June 2014 which left 19-year-old Danica Pringle in a critical condition. In the aftermath of the accident, the young girl’s grandfather Bob Pringle spoke out and said the tragedy had devastated the family but hoped that the crash would remind people to take as much care as they could on the roads. He urged motorists to stop and think when they get behind the wheel in the hope that it

Four teenagers were involved in a serious accident in Cranbourne in June 2014. 121804 would prevent another incident such as the one his granddaughter was involved in. Police said a Holden Commodore and a Ford Falcon were travelling side by side in the south bound lanes of the South Gippsland Highway be-

fore the crash occurred. Danica was the passenger in the Ford when both cars ran off the roadway, mounted the centre median strip and collided with a concrete pole, police said.

Police deny racial tension POLICE denied racial tension in the community in the aftermath of charging a teenager and arresting others following the stabbing of Ben Phillips, 14, in Cranbourne in February 2014. The charges came after Ben, from Narre Warren, was assaulted and stabbed in Clarendon Street, Cranbourne, while walking a friend home from a party about 10pm at night. The teenager suffered lacerations to his torso and was taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital,

suffering critical injuries. Metro media outlets claimed the incident had caused tension in the Cranbourne community and that police were concerned. The claims came after a relative of the victim allegedly said on social media that another incident would “mean war” and that the night had got “all of Cranny on alert”. However, Casey CIU Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Rollo said that was not the case.

A GROUP of young offenders were offered a second chance following the continuation of the Casey Youth Fitness Program. A local police officer and a local resident joined forces to donate countless hours of their time to help the young locals get their lives back on track. The program assists young people, aged from 12 to 20, who have either been charged, recently convicted or under sentence with serious criminal offences. Casey CIU Detective Senior Constable Michael Harris, alongside Robert Auimatag meet with the youths each week and offer fitness sessions which usually end with a handshake or a high-five as a mark of respect for the instructors.

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

Oz Muslims are ‘law-abiding’ A MUSLIM leader and secretary of the Casey Multi-faith Network called for calm, amid fears of a backlash following the fatal shooting of a terrorism suspect in Endeavour Hills in September. Numan Haider, 18, was shot dead outside the Endeavour Hills police station around 7.45pm on a Tuesday night, after he stabbed a Victoria Police officer and an Australian Federal Police member. Casey Multi-faith Network secretary Naureen Choudhry, a practising Muslim, anticipated the shooting would cause a backlash towards the broader Islamic community and called for clear-thinking. “I really wish there was a way of conveying this isn’t the general sentiment of Muslims, that the Muslim community is generally a very patriotic and law-abiding community,” she said. “This is really the work of one individual that creates a bad reputation for everyone. “I would be very cautious of seeing the entire Muslim com-

Eaten alive THE News spoke to James (not his real name) in March, who beat his ice addiction after three years of dependency on the drug. Heavily dependent on the drug, the 32-year-old’s life spiralled out of control soon after he began using it. James spoke of the extreme paranoia that consumed him while he was high on ice, including a harrowing episode which saw him hallucinating on the floor of a shed in Cranbourne for eight hours, taken to hospital the next day and transferred to a psychiatric ward for 10 days after that. “I was thinking I was getting eaten alive, for eight hours,” James had said. “I thought there were bugs crawling down the wall, I could see them… I could actually see them, and spiders crawling down the wall. “And snakes kept coming to bite me,

and they were biting into me and eating me alive. But it was through numbness, I was all numb.” James, who lived in Doveton, said he started “hitting the drugs” when he made his way from rural Victoria to Melbourne, experimenting with marijuana, speed, heroin and everything in between. By the age of 28, James had started using ice, injecting the methamphetamine into his bloodstream after a friend showed him how to. James said the drug was like nothing he had ever taken before and extremely hard to stop using. “You’re also addicted to the actual needle, going in and feeling that instant feeling,” he said. “You could feel it run through your whole body, straight to your head, up the back of your neck.”

Letters Scare tactics

WHY doesn’t it surprise me to read in the media that we might be in for a long, local feud. Instead of working together and looking after the ratepayers, they resort to fear mongering such as “playing catch up from the Kennett era, and affecting the ability of many councils to provide services”. What are they scared of? I would like more transparency for starters. How are the councillors’ wages and perks justified? At the last state election we had three City of Casey councilors running but not a word about where the money for their campaign came from. Was it political donations or from ratepayers? Or is this just an excuse to sell off the local assets as well? We have already lost everything else to the private sector. Florin Bordei, Hampton Park.

Shire of Cardinia is considered a hotbed for this behaviour. There are at least 25 police officers dedicated solely to supporting victims of family violence and targeting offenders. In the past, family violence has been largely brushed off by blokes as a women’s issue, or an issue for police to deal with. Wrong! It’s a responsibility that men have to accept - and those 70-plus community leaders put their hand up to do just that.

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

CFA is critically short-staffed By BRIDGET SCOTT DISTURBING Union statistics revealed last year suggest that Cranbourne residents have less than a 50 per cent chance of being rescued in a fire. According to the United Firefighters Union, only 46 per cent of alarm and structure fires were attended owing to a lack of sufficient firefighters to under-

take a rescue mission. Cranbourne CFA worker Jeff Barker shared his concerns over the statistics with the News and said he felt as though they could not meet the needs of the community due to a lack of staff. Mr Barker said that there were only three occupational firefighters based at his station. However, he said, in order to commence operations at the scene of a

fire, a minimum of four personnel had to be present. They had to rely on the availability of volunteers or crews from other stations to arrive on scene in time. A CFA media spokesperson responded to the claims and said, “Cranbourne CFA is adequately resourced with career staff working shoulder to shoulder with volunteer firefighters at incidents and emergencies.”

AS the State Election rolled around again last year, it came as a surprise to very few when it was entangled in controversy. The campaign didn’t start out quite as expected for two candidates who were investigated by the Ombudsman for receiving donations.

Liberal candidate for Narre Warren North Amanda Stapledon and Liberal Candidate for Cranbourne Geoff Ablett remained silent after it was revealed that they were being investigated. The pair have still remained tight-lipped since Labor was announced the winner on 29 November. Jude Perera retained his

seat for Cranbourne and came out on top, while Luke Donnellan and Judith Graley also prevailed comfortably. The controversy didn’t stop in the aftermath of the election when candidate Amanda Stapledon alleged she was bullied by Labor-aligned backers at a pre-polling station. MP Luke Donnellan denied the claims.

2014 – THE YEAR THAT WAS…

Gay pride on display CASEY councillor Rafal Kaplon came out publicly as gay after his fellow Four Oaks Ward councillor Rosalie Crestani attempted to raise a motion in November to stop the City of Casey promoting awareness of different sexual orientations. Cr Kaplon announced he was homosexual following a tumultuous council meeting in which Cr Sam Aziz left in protest, forcing the session to dissolve because there was no longer a quorum. Cr Crestani’s motion sought to stop the council from issuing media releases and remove signs concerning sexual orientation or the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community. Cr Crestani, who was a candidate for the Rise Up Australia Party (RUAP) in the Victorian election, also sought to abolish the council’s LGBTI diversity training program. But none of her fellow councillors supported the motion. In a statement released after the meeting, Cr Kaplon said he felt it was important to make his sexuality public in a show of “strong community leadership”. “I chose to make the personal disclosure that I did in my statement at this time on a matter which is normally private and of no relevance or importance to my daily life because I believe this issue called for a show of strong community leadership,” he said. “And it is pivotal for Casey

The drivers of the two cars, both men, suffered minor injuries while the male passenger in the Holden suffered serious injuries. Police were left dumbfounded just days after the crash when they intercepted an unlicensed driver, with five teenage passengers in the car, just up the road from the crash. After intercepting the vehicle on Monday, police found four teenagers crammed into the back seat and the male driver, 18, was unlicensed. Of the two male and three female passengers in the car, one wasn’t wearing a seatbelt while two others had stretched the one seatbelt across them. The vehicle was impounded for 30 days under hoon legislation and the driver is expected to be charged with a range of traffic offences. Anyone with any information on the crash is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

“If this accident prevents even just one crash of this nature then at least something’s been achieved,” he said. “I urge everyone on our roads, not just kids, that have seen what

compassion the kids of Cranbourne have and are all hoping the best for Danica.” Mr Pringle urged people to think about how many loved ones, and even strangers, can be impacted when such a tragedy occurs. Police are still investigating the crash and would like to talk to the occupants of a car seen driving behind the two vehicles that crashed, and either slowed down or stopped at the scene. Police said a Holden Commodore and a Ford Falcon were travelling side by side in the south bound lanes of the South Gippsland Highway before the crash occurred. Police believe that the driver of the Ford, which was travelling in the inside lane, lost control of his vehicle and hit the Commodore. Both cars ran off the road way, mounted the centre median strip and collided with a concrete pole, police said.

THE grandfather of the teenage girl left fighting for her life after a fiery crash in Cranbourne last week has urged motorists to use the crash as a reminder to take care on the roads. Four local teenagers were injured when the two cars they were travelling in collided along the South Gippsland Highway about 11.30pm on Thursday. Nineteen-year-old Cranbourne woman Danica Pringle, who was the passenger in the Ford involved in the collision, suffered life-threatening injuries and was flown by air ambulance to The Alfred hospital where she remains in a critical condition. Her grandfather Bob Pringle said the tragedy had devastated the family but hoped that the crash would remind people to take as much care as they could on the roads.

has happened to stop and think about how they drive and, hopefully, we won’t see another tragedy like this.” Mr Pringle said he was not suggesting that the drivers were doing anything wrong, but said it was still a timely reminder for all drivers to be careful when behind the wheel. Having previously served with the police force for 22 years and with the Highway Patrol for 17, Mr Pringle said only this week has he realised just how much accidents like these affected so many people. “I have attended the scene of many serious crashes and fatalities,” he said. “It really hit home this week though and I’ve been able to see just how much of an impact a crash like this has on so many people, right through the whole family and friends. “One thing that has stuck out for me this week is how much the

“Anzac Day to me is a very important day because that’s the day that you not only remember the mates that you’ve lost, but it’s the mates of all conflicts,” Bill said. “It was a different year, a different type of conflict but you all served and you were all part of this family which is, to us, very important.” Bill is now the welfare officer for the southeastern Legacy group, which covers the Berwick, Cranbourne and Dandenong areas. Established in 1923 by ex-servicemen, Legacy is a voluntary organisation which currently assists 100,000 widows and their families throughout Australia, across 49 different clubs, including one in London. “To me, it’s a great privilege to look after these ladies. “The things you do for them and they’re so appreciative, they’re appreciative of you just going around having a chat to them,” Bill said. “And they say ‘would you like a cup of tea?’ and you discover they have it all laid out ready for you, they just love it.” For more on the lead-up to Anzac Day, turn to pages pages 7, 12 and 42.

By LACHLAN MOORHEAD BILL Rogers never saw the grenade in February 1971. It rolled underneath his good mate Eric Halkyard, a machine gunner, who lay next to Bill in the high hills of Phuoc Tuy province in South Vietnam and tore his friend apart. Bill, now 68 years old and a Berwick native, was medevaced out of the Vietnam War with severed nerves in his arm and shrapnel in his back, but he was the lucky one - Eric left behind a wife and two children. “I can see his face, like I’m looking at you. It just sort of sticks with you,” Bill said of his friend. “He was a good mate; it was a comradeship that you knew what each other was doing. “You didn’t have to say, you knew exactly what was happening, everything gelled. “When he died we both came back in the chopper, he in a body bag and I was lying next to him and I thought ‘this isn’t the way it’s supposed to end’.” Bill has been an active member of Legacy since the mid- ‘90s, helping to support the widows and children of servicemen killed or wounded in action. But Bill said in the 40 years since his death, he has never been able to find Eric’s family. “I’d thought about him a lot, one of the things they didn’t know a lot about was, although he was separated, he had a wife and two children in England,” he said. “I often think about him and I think about the kids and just how they’re doing.” Bill, a former president of Melbourne Legacy, served in the Vietnam War with the 7th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment in 1970 and 1971 before he was flown back to Australia after being wounded just a month before the end of his tour. Tomorrow (Friday) Bill will be in Perth watching his 39-year-old son Scott, himself a veteran of Iraq and East Timor and the president of his local RSL, as he leads the Anzac parade.

their driveway. Lowry had also stolen a car as it was left running to warm up outside a home. As the victim ran out on the dead-end street, Lowry drove towards him at about 45 kilometres per hour forcing the victim to jump out of the way. Magistrate Jack Vandersteen said Lowry was at the time “out of control” and “completely affected by methamphetamine”. “When you’re not working, the only way to maintain that habit is by stealing. “You’re lucky no one has been killed. You were extremely desperate. “You had the opportunity to play AFL and that fell by the wayside when you started using drugs.” Mr Vandersteen encouraged Lowry to follow up his intended footballing comeback, saying those playing sport were less likely to use illicit drugs. He said Lowry would be “clean but susceptible” on his release “especially if you start hanging around with old mates”. Continued on page 3

Career goes on ice A TALENTED footballer whose drug addiction laid waste a possible AFL career was sentenced to six months’ jail after a spate of crimes including using a crowbar to terrify two women in Cranbourne. Dandenong Magistrates’ Court was told on Monday that Anthony James Lowry, 24, of Pakenham, had once played Australian Rules at underage state level. However, the unemployed man lost his way, financing a $300-a-day ‘ice’ - or methamphetamine - drug habit through crime and continuing to offend while on bail last year. He pleaded guilty to offences included stealing two cars, driving one of those stolen cars at its owner, using a stolen credit card, trafficking methamphetamine and handling stolen firearms. Lowry made a full admission to threatening a Cranbourne resident and her 81-yearold mother with a crowbar and smashing two windows of a four-wheel drive as the victims locked themselves in the vehicle in

Violence in their sights COMMUNITY leaders have rallied to put a stop to family violence and violence against women – under the banner of the Challenge Family Violence program. Star News Group has backed the stance and across the month of November – in the lead-up to White Ribbon Day – will dedicate a lot of time and space to highlighting the issue. During that time, readers will hear from the likes of faith leaders Jim Reiher and Graeme Cann, police sergeant Graeme Stanley, Ormoro community leader Marama Kufi, South East Juniors football boss Shaun Connell, Matt Spencer from the YMCA and Star’s own Garry Howe. All these men have signed a pledge to help influence behavioral change in their circles of influence. Turn inside to read the first installment of the News campaign.

PREMIER Denis Napthine has announced a major upgrade of Thompsons Road which will include two grade separations of the Cranbourne railway line and the Western Port Highway. Doctor Napthine has committed $310 million if re-elected to overcome congestion along Thompsons Road and improve safety for motorists in the south-east. The upgrade would begin in mid2016 under a re-elected Napthine government.

The Premier visited Cranbourne yesterday afternoon to make the announcement, which was welcomed by road users throughout the area. Dr Napthine said the project was a key component of his government’s vision to build a better integrated transport network for Melbourne and Victoria.

THE State Government will join with Casey Council to build a community centre worth more than $5 million. Victorian Premier Denis Napthine visited Cranbourne West last week to announce the brand-new facility for the area. Dr Napthine announced the new Cranbourne West Family and Community Centre - at a cost of $5.06 million.

Highway roundabout, a six-lane upgrade between the Western Port Highway and South Gippsland Highway, a six-lane upgrade between McCormicks Road and Dandenong-Frankston Road and a four-lane duplication between McCormicks Road and the Western Port Highway. “Once the upgrade is complete, drivers using Thompsons Road will save up to 20 minutes as average speeds during peak hour will increase to 70km/h from the current 20km/h,” Dr Napthine said. “The best way to address congestion and safety in the south-eastern

suburbs is to have an integrated plan that focuses on both road and public transport investment at the same time.” “This is why a re-elected Coalition Government will undertake a major $310 million upgrade of Thompsons Road alongside our existing Dingley Bypass project and our landmark Bayside rail and Cranbourne-Pakenham rail corridor upgrades.” “No matter where you travel or whether you choose to go by train or by car - a re-elected Coalition Government will get you there faster and make your journey safer,” Dr Napthine said.

Dr Napthine also met with Liberal candidate for Cranbourne Geoff Ablett yesterday afternoon to look over plans for the proposed upgrade. Mr Ablett said the Liberal Party was the only one which would fix Thompsons Road’s major bottlenecks. “The roundabout at the intersection of Western Port Highway and Thompsons Road is one of the most congested and dangerous bottlenecks in the south-east,” Mr Ablett said. “We will remove this roundabout and build a grade-separated interchange to help traffic flow freely and safely.”

“I was listening to the winds on Monday night and was actually worried about whether it might come down.” Ms Deering said she was just so thankful that no-one was hurt, but said it was still a massive inconvenience for her friend who now didn’t have a car. “I’m just so angry,” she said. “If my grandchildren where out there, or any of the other children from the court, then this could have been fatal. “It’s just not good enough. “A poor lady is now left without her car for weeks, can’t get to work

She said a council worker visited at the time, but did not seem interested in her concerns and treated her rudely. “He said to me ‘do you realise how much of a root system is underground that you can’t see’,” she said. “He told me it was a perfectly healthy and safe tree and there was nothing else they could do. “I was terrified about this tree. My concerns were first for my grandchildren and daughter, if it was to come down, and then for my property.

“I first contacted the council about three years ago when my daughter and three grandchildren moved in with me, due to safety concerns I had with it,” she said. “The roots were so exposed and it had shifted the driveway. “At that time the council came and put a bit of grass seed and topsoil over the tree. “But because the tree and roots were so elevated, with a bit of rain and wind all the dirt just ran off and went into the gutter.” Ms Deering said she again contacted the council about four months ago, after she tripped over

A CRANBOURNE woman says the council could have acted to stop a car being crushed by a falling tree in Tuesday’s storms. The huge gumtree out the front of Theresa Deering’s house, in Bamboo Court, came down on Tuesday morning, crushing a visitor’s car and writing it off. Ms Deering said the situation could have been avoided if the City of Casey removed the tree at her request, something she had been pushing them to do for more than three years.

“You’ve got people who have come from really good homes, who have gone to the best schools; mum and dad have given them everything. They go to a party and they start smoking ice and before you know it, they’re addicted and they can’t break it.” – Detective Senior Constable Kieran Rodgers from Casey CIU’s Drug Investigation Team on the issue of ice which has ravaged different areas. “It needs to stop. Next time it might be someone else’s kid and they mightn’t survive,” she told the station. “It is bad. We’re meant to be the lucky country.” – Mother of 14-year-old Ben Phillips, who was stabbed in Clarendon Street, Cranbourne, this year. His mother spoke to 3AW after the incident. “It really hit home this week, and I’ve been able to see just how much of an impact a crash like this has on so many people, right through the whole family and friends.” – Bob Pringle, grandfather of 19-year-old Danica Pringle, who was involved in a serious car accident this year. The former police officer spoke out on the wide spread effect that accidents like this can have. “We’re trying to reinforce the positive side of things and hopefully change their mindset,” he said. “It’s all about healthy body, healthy mind.” – Robert Auimatagi on the Casey Youth Fitness Program which he helps run for young offenders in the area. “We sort of just stayed inside and ignored the world really,” Emma said. – Mother of Riyani Lowen, who was killed in a car accident in 2009 on the anniversary of her daughter’s death. “I’ve got no teeth, I’m a Collingwood supporter, I’m a nan and a don’t give a f**k what nobody says,” she said. “My attitude is give as much as you get and don’t back down.” – Nanna Shazza, formerly from Cranbourne, who was titled Australia’s biggest female bogan. “I really wish there was a way of conveying this isn’t the general sentiment of Muslims, that the Muslim community is generally a very patriotic and law-abiding community,” she said. – Casey Multi-faith Network Secretary Naureen Choudhry, a practising Muslim, in the wake of the police shooting at Endeavour Hills this year.

WARNEET

YES IT'S TRUE, IT'S BRAND-NEW! LOCATED in the most sought-after pocket of Warneet is this sensational approximately 30 square home situated on 759 square metres. Properties like this one donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come around often, especially at this age. The current owners had the property built to a very high standard, however unfortunately have decided to move. The home itself comprises four bedrooms and a study. The master suite has a full ensuite, including spa bath and walk-in wardrobe. The other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes also. On entering the home you will notice the quality spotted gum timber flooring throughout. Complete with a separate formal lounge, the home then opens up to the open plan hostess kitchen, meals and family area. The kitchen itself has been built with no expense spared on the stainless appliances and Caesarstone benches, as well as a walkin pantry. The living area overlooks the outdoor alfresco zone and the large rear backyard.

The list of features is too long to list, however here are a few: two split-system airconditioners, oversized double garage with access through to the backyard, overlooking the nature reserve, new home warranty, landscaped garden, and 6.8 star energy rating. The list goes on and on, so why not organise an inspection today, or attend one of the advertised open homes.

Step up to our award winning Milan, voted HIA’s Best Display Home 2014.* The Milan 29 from our Aspire range has just won the 2014 HIA Victorian division Best Display Home between $250,001 – 300,000. It’s an architect designed home ofering afordable luxury, space and light and a range of innovative features. The sun court, for instance, actually increases the usable interior space and ﬂoods the living areas with light. Or as the judges said: “A very open home that gives the impression it is bigger than it actually is.

“Excellent workmanship, attention to detail and a feeling of spaciousness.” – HIA Judges

You can sense the diference immediately with generously proportioned spaces that ﬂow together naturally to create vistas and extended views with picture windows usually only found in more expensive homes. The high level of luxury inclusions also caught the eye of the judges who said the Caesarstone benches, Franke sinks and Smeg appliances “represent value for money”. The overall style and elegance of this four bedroom home is typiﬁed by the raised ceiling above the dining area. Visit the Milan today – and judge for yourself.

A passion and drive for dance THE Lind-Elle School of Dance has been operating in Narre Warren for over 17 years and is looking forward to another fantastic year in 2015. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family-friendly location in a residential area has three fully equipped dance studios complete with heating and air-conditioning and offstreet parking.

Outside there is an enclosed play area and inside, two lounge areas serve as homework or chill out zones for students between classes, as well as waiting areas for parents. Lind-Elleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedicated and passionate teachers are experts in their fields. A staff of experienced, professional teachers conduct classes in jazz, ballet, hip-hop, contemporary, tap, street tap,

pointe and acrobatics. Optional ATOD exams are a great way to ensure a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancing education reaches its potential. Girls and boys can start from as young as 2.5 years and age is limitless. Beginners are welcome at any age - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to start dancing - and popular adult classes attest to

Great prize on route EYE-CATCHING buses have been in and around Berwick and Narre Warren over the past three months showcasing the latest on offer at Barry Bourke Holden. They definitely stood out and for one lucky person, seeing that bus was the best thing that could happen. Back in September Barry Bourke announced the start of its exclusive campaign where customers who purchased a new or demo Holden between 22 September and 22 December would go into the draw to win $5000 cash. On 23 December the prize was drawn at the Barry Bourke Holden showroom in Berwick, just in time for Christmas and the winner was announced - the very lucky Ellyse Noy from Upper Beaconsfield. Ellyse Noy, a 20-year-old animal and veterinary bio-science university student accepted the prize, which was handed over by Barry Bourke Motors friend Brian Lake on 23 December. “I have a HECS debt to pay off so this amazing prize will help me immensely, thank you so much Barry Bourke!” Ellyse said. She purchased a new Holden Trax LS from Barry Bourke Holden in No-

vember and was thrilled when she received the phone call. Ellyse saw the buses around town and was in the market for a new vehicle so she logged onto the Barry Bourke website to find out more about the offer, and gave Barry Bourke Holden the first opportunity to give her a great deal. That was the best move she could make. Noy family members are longterm repeat customers of Barry Bourke Holden and now have an even bigger reason to stick around. This is the first campaign of its kind that Barry Bourke Motors has run and with such huge success. New Vehicle Sales Manager Andrew Saad was thrilled at the response of the campaign, and to see the prize go to such a worthy winner. “It’s great to see such a genuine, excited winner and to know this will help her further her career towards such a great cause is even better,” he said. Stay up to date and be notified of upcoming offers or competitions like this by liking Barry Bourke Holden on Facebook, www.facebook.com/ barrybourkeholden.

There will be a full program of horse events including showjumping, flat riding, Shetland ponies, the majestic Clydesdales, miniature ponies and stockhorses just to name a few, with pre-entry for all horse events, except the fun ring. The Beef Cattle Spectacular is always a great success and well worth a look. There is a poultry competition and the dog show is always well attended, with many breeds competing for the title of champion. The pavilion will once again be filled with art, photography, craft, cookery and produce. The Lang Lang Young Per-

sonality competition is on again this year. It is open to girls and boys aged three to 16, and it’s free to enter, so come along on the day and maybe win a prize. There will be a vegetable stall laden with fresh produce donated straight from the local market gardens with all proceeds going to the Kooweerup Hospital Ladies Auxiliary. As an added incentive to bring the kids along, this year there will be a free magic show by Scott Stunz. Scott will also be roaming around between shows and handing out balloon sculptures. He entertains adults and children and should be lots of fun! There will be face painting,

All new at the circuit of vroom THERE have been a lot of new and exciting changes and improvements to the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit lately so it’s time to revisit and rediscover what’s new. Now more than ever it’s a destination for the whole family with many hours of entertainment and enjoyment on offer. All new single and tandem karts Karting at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit has blasted through the rev limiter for both speed and fun with 27 all new French made SODI RT8 karts. Circuit managing director Fergus Cameron searched worldwide to source the best karts and settled on the highly regarded SODI Racing Company in Nantes in France. “These are no ordinary karts. Each has a price tag in excess of $8000. SODI are the Ferrari of the karting world, and we went with them to ensure our fans enjoyed the best karting experience possible,” Mr Cameron said. “In addition to the single karts we have just taken delivery of nine tandem karts. These new matching tandem karts are equipped with duel controls so the kids don’t miss out and can participate in the full interactive karting experience which they haven’t been able to do before.”

Push bike ride days are back for summer “This has proved very popular over previous school holidays with a wide range of people and groups taking advantage of a unique experience,” Mr Cameron said. “We had family groups, older riders, serious riders, fitness fanatics and riding clubs. The track can accommodate all these groups together because it is extremely safe with no cars, it’s wide enough for passing and challenging for the fitness fanatics because of its sweeping straights and long demanding undulations. You won’t break any lap records on the 4.5 kilometre circuit however you will enjoy the safest and most picturesque location to ride your push bike on Phillip Island,” he said. The next ride is on Thursday 15 January from 6pm to 8pm. There is no need to book, just turn up 30 minutes prior to the session at the visitors centre to purchase a ticket with your own bike and helmet. All new history of motorsport After a complete renovation, the History of Motorsport showcases the dawn of motorsport on Phillip Island commencing with the very first Australian Grand Prix in 1928 through to present day racing. The display has

many articles, images and racing vehicles that will capture your imagination. All new slot cars As part of the renovation process, the GP slot cars were also redeveloped and now provide the best fun for all ages. Race your family or your mates and experience the fun on Australia’s largest four-lane GP slot car track. All new race simulators Test your skills or challenge your mates to a simulated race on the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Go flat out down Gardner Straight, through ultra-fast Doohan Corner, slide through Stoner, thread your way through Siberia and slipstream up the back straight. Watch out for the hairpin at the bottom of Lukey heights. Who will get the bragging rights? Super-Fast Hot Laps For the adrenalin junkies how about three heart pumping “Hot Laps” in a race prepared vehicle. Our resident race car driver will get your heart started with lift off and road hugging turns that defy gravity as you “white knuckle” it and carve an impression on the rugged cliffs surrounded by sapphire seas. Guided circuit tours Follow in the footsteps of racing superstars on a daily guided circuit tour featuring a MotoGP sound simulation

Racing fans can test their skills on the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in some of the fastest karts available. and access to exclusive and restricted areas such as the control tower, media centre, pit roof, and of course that hero photo opportunity on the winner’s podium. Wander into the rich past the circuit has to offer. Tranquil water gardens, inspired by the former race car driver and previous owner of the circuit Len Lukey lead you through to the viewing mound capturing some of the most unique and invigorating panoramic views of the circuit and Bass Strait. Champions’ Bar and licenced cafe After all the excitement, Champion’s Bar and Cafe has all the answers with its fresh menu with plenty of

choices. The coffee served is second to none and the cafe prides itself on delicious and decedent home-made cakes, slices, muffins, pastries, sausage rolls and pies. However if you are hungry you can’t go past our famous “champions hamburger” made from the very best beef and served with home-made relish and thick cut chips. The gift shop at the Visitor Centre has a wide selection of stylish apparel, merchandise and souvenirs to choose from so you can take a memento home with you.

The Evercold turned up the heat when it competed in the regional FReeZA Push Start Battle of the Bands last month, winning the competition for the City of Casey held at the Cranbourne Public Hall.

Casey Mayor Mick Morland commended The Evercold for taking out the top prize, noting that it had made the City of Casey very proud. “All of the bands were very talented and entertained the crowd, making it hard for the judging panel to pick the winners,” he said. “It was great to see a local band win and showcase the amazing talent we have here in Casey. “Congratulations to all competitors on their performances and I wish them all the best of luck with their future successes - I’m sure they will all go on to have great careers in the music industry.

TWO young and promising Casey cricketers were given the chance of a lifetime when they had a chance to meet former Australian champion Matthew Hayden last month. The opportunity was provided by McDonald’s which, in December, held its Mac Pack Cricket Super Clinic in Melbourne, a junior sporting initiative that aims to encourage children to lead a healthy lifestyle through sport. Promising junior cricketers Lachlan Rechsteiner and Aaryamann Sikri from Cranbourne and Rohan Menon from Lynbrook had the chance to meet Australian cricketing great Matthew Hayden at the clinic. McDonald’s Cranbourne North licensee Ian Seal said the clinic was a great opportunity for the kids. “The Mac Pack Cricket Super clinic is a great way to engage kids with cricket and encourage them to lead an active and healthy lifestyle through sport,” he said. Children between six and 12 were able to win a place at the competition.

Don’t miss out on your place for 2015

A DECADE in to his time as Casey TigerSharks Swimming Club’s head coach Ben Hiddlestone is still striving to reach the next level and push the club even further. Arriving at the City of Casey based swimming club in December 2004, Hiddlestone from Berwick has become a mainstay in Victorian swimming circles ever since and helped cultivate one of the strongest programs in the state. He knows a thing or two about coaching longevity having learned the craft under his mentor Miami Swimming Club’s (Queensland) coach Denis Cotterell who is about to notch his 40th year at the club. From when he started, a club without much state level success let alone international representation, the TigerSharks have blossomed under Hiddlestone’s guidance to now boasts 170 swimmers in its midst from six-year-olds through to Olympic and Commonwealth Games representatives. Hiddlestone was pleased to accomplish the milestone and see the club develop in both results and membership through the past decade. “It was really good - it was around December (10 year anniversary) I think it was so just a couple of weeks ago,” Hiddlestone said. “It’s been great journey, I

suppose, and I did feel it was a big milestone and it was a big deal just personally and internally that you stay somewhere for 10 years. “You also have some results and seeing swimmers grow and your club going through issues and you survive those, so it has a bit of an effect at the end of it.” The three defining moments that stand out to the TigerSharks coach across his time at the helm have been Matson Lawson earning a place on the London 2012 Olympic Games team - the first TigerShark to make an international senior team - Josh Beaver earning three medals at last year’s Commonwealth Games and the creation of the Casey RACE swimming pool and the effect it is having on the Cranbourne area and its swimmers. “Putting Matson on the Olympic team - that was a big deal for me as a coach,” Hiddlestone said. “The second one was Beaver’s results at the Commonwealth Games - his three medals - as he was one of the only kids that were at the club when I got there 10 years ago. “Then the new pool at Casey RACE - I got there when the old Cranbourne pool next to the racetrack was still going and they built Casey ARC then maybe thinking about building the pool in Cranbourne.

“Getting that up and running three or four years ago that has really changed the club as well.” The growth of the club has enabled Hiddlestone to stay in the suburbs and not pursue opportunities at one of the inner city clubs and create a program the metropolitan teams would envy. “As coaches grow, if the Casey TigerSharks didn’t have the lane space for me to have an elite program, I probably would have moved into one of the city clubs,” Hiddlestone said. “But it just so happens that the work that I’ve done and the club has done has enabled the club to grow at the same rate and can offer a little kiddies program and a big, elite program which allows me to stay and grow here as well.” The future for Hiddlestone is to keep pushing the next generation of Australian elite swimmers through and hopefully generate enough international success to enable the Casey TigerSharks to become a Swimming Australia Podium centre - the highest funding and support level from the national body. For now it’s back to the pool-deck for early sessions as Hiddlestone and the TigerSharks prepare for the Swimming Victoria Open Championships which are to be held at MSAC from 16 to 18 January.

Endeavour Hills collapses after top order struggles By JARROD POTTER Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association South East 1st XI Round 8 (One day) ENDEAVOUR Hills (150) did not fare well in its four-wicket loss to Box Hill (6/152) as the top order collapsed. The wickets fell rapidly on the slow deck at Sydney Pargeter Reserve as the Eagles’ top order fell to 6/56. Ben Swift (17) toiled to stay at the crease and struggled to get his cut shot working. However he had the benefit of luck from a couple of French cuts and top edges. Similar work from Justin Merlino (15) to hold on kept a true collapse from unfolding

before the duo succumbed. Swift’s innings would draw to a close off Robert Fortington (3/22), leaving the work up to the lower order. The Eagles found plenty of life in the tail as Vaughan Baxter (30), Richard Saniga (28) and captain Chris Pereira (14) eked out a 150 par-score on a bleak day. Endeavour Hills made the Mustangs fight for every run as an inspired knock from Gaurav Parikh (85) proved the difference between the sides. Parikh singlehandedly took on the Eagles’ attack as Periera (2/20) and Alastair Christy (1/30) toiled valiantly. Parikh fell to Christy with 10 left to notch but the Mustangs’ lower order completed

the task with three overs to spare. Noble Park now leaps into the top six with the win, displacing Endeavour Hills which slide down to seventh. Heavy rain on Friday and the predicted poor forecast forced the postponement of the remaining Dandenong area fixtures including the Dandenong District Cricket Association’s turf grades and Victorian Premier Cricket for the men’s and women’s competitions. The DDCA has rescheduled its Round 7 one-day clashes to Sunday 15 February from noon while Victorian Premier Cricket will adjust its Round 13 matches into onedayers this weekend.

LOVE of cricket runs deeply within John Wise. Wise, 53, from Berwick Springs is virtually inseparable from the cricket ovals around the state each summer and throws himself into any role to help his beloved clubs Berwick Springs and formerly Salesian Old Boys - become stronger. This passion for chipping in and ensuring the next generation flourishes earned him Cricket Victoria recognition as one of 20 volunteers at the Boxing Day Test for his contributions to the summer sport. “It’s a huge honour - you don’t do it for the recognition or for an award like that,” Wise said. “For me I’ve got a lot out of cricket - playing at two clubs Salesian Old Boys and Berwick Springs - and in 40-odd years involvement in club cricket I’ve just enjoyed every minute of it. “To be recognised is a big thrill and I was just blown away - I just love the involvement in the game, love being around the club and I think it’s good for young people to be involved in the club environment.” No matter where he’s gone in life, since 12 years old, Wise has always been drawn a cricket club nearby and wouldn’t have it any other way. He played most of his career

at Salesian Old Boys Cricket Club in Chadstone but the bowling all-rounder shifted to Berwick Springs and signed up with the Titans soon after. After 36 years at Salesian Old Boys, the shift to Berwick Springs has been just as joyous for the Wise family - his wife Anne Maree, son Sam and daughter Antonia. As all great volunteers usually are, the long-time cricket administrator/coach/player is particularly humble about his achievements, but there are a lot of stellar achievements on his resume. “I play a small part in Berwick Springs,” Wise said. “There are a lot of great people in Berwick Springs and I was fortunate enough to receive the award and I’m absolutely stoked - it’s great to have this recognition across two clubs I hold dearly. “Both clubs are fantastic and I’ve made some great friendships through cricket and that’s one thing the young people will definitely get out of team sport as those friendships stay for life.” Wise will look back fondly on his role helping Berwick Springs receive a turf wicket upgrade to Berwick Springs Reserve, allowing the Titans for the first time in 2015/16 to compete in the Dandenong Dis-

trict Cricket Association’s turf divisions. Another proud achievement in his coaching career was guiding Hawthorn-Monash Women’s Cricket Club to a premiership and also one for Berwick Springs - the club’s first flag - in 2011/12. He also thinks cultivating the next generation of Titans talent is just as important for the departing president. “My main goal - the goal with the club - would be to get a turf wicket put in the reserve,” Wise said. “That was my mission and to make sure we got that turf wicket and with a lot of assistance from the City of Casey they’ve made a dream of the club come true. “We’ll have a turf wicket to play on next year and that will help keep our kids at the club and that’s what I want to see.” He had to step aside from the Berwick Springs CC presidency to devote more time to his family and his business Universal Cleaning Group - but rest assured he will never be far away from the sport he loves. Wise can be found most weekends in the blue and green Titan colours or out in the centre wearing the whites as he fills in wherever he can in the Berwick Springs’ D, E or F Grade teams.

Carnival of cricket in Warrior way SUPPORTERS eager to get out and watch the West Gippsland Warriors’ Country Week campaign have been dealt a good hand after the release of fixtures for the week-long carnival starting Monday 9 February. The Warriors’ quest for promotion to division two starts on Monday, against Wangaratta at Balwyn Park, but then head towards home with games against Central Gippsland (Endeavour Hills), Goulburn Murray (Frankston) and Seymour (Casey Fields) rounding out the qualifying stages of the tournament. If - as we all hope and expect - the Warriors get through to Friday’s grand final the GPS coordinates will need to be set for Bayswater Oval. All games commence at 10.15am.

Wannabes stake a claim By DAVID NAGEL

UPPER Beaconsfield (0/106) has produced the upset of the West Gippsland Premier Division season, crushing premiership fancy Tooradin (105) by 10 wickets at Upper Beaconsfield on Saturday. The Maroons’ eyebrow raising performance has kept the top-flight season alive, with Pakenham joining them as teams outside the top four still searching for a finals berth. Maroons skipper Chris Savage threw the newball to off-spinner Rob North and the momentum immediately swung the Maroons’ way. Sure, they didn’t get wickets immediately, but North (0/9 off 3), Jayden Joyce (2/24 off 6) and 15-year-old gun Chad McDonald (1/9 off 4) gave their skipper exactly what he had asked for. “It was all about not letting blokes like Huss (Tom Hussey) get away from us early,” Savage said. “We didn’t get a wicket until they were 24 but, to tell you the truth, they never looked comfortable and I was really impressed with the way our boys bowled.” And the wickets soon came, Joyce, McDonald, Tommy Tyrrell (2/22 off 8) and Will Haines (2/14 off 7) combining to devastate the visitors who lost 7/36 in a rare display of vulnerability. Ross Douglas (21) and Jarred Thompson (13) did some repair work on the innings, but that was unstitched by Kyle Gibbs (3/13 off 5) who claimed the last three wickets to fall. Regular opener North (26 not out) was then joined by Tyrrell (64 not out) and they produced the most surprising century partnership of the season, pulverising the Seagulls’ attack to reverse the result of a round six drubbing. “We had a massive point to prove after what they did to us last time, just like we will have against Cardinia next week, so it was great to see the boys respond the way they did,” Savage said. “I definitely think we’re good enough to win four of our next five games.” Pakenham (2/83) slaughtered Emerald (82) at Toomuc Reserve. The Lions could hardly have been more impressive, with Russ Lehman (3/5), Shannon Mitchell (3/25) and Jack Ryan (2/22) bowling beautifully, before Chris Smith (41 not out) and Bradey Welsh (29) completed the most clinical of

victories. The win sets up one of the games of the season this Saturday, where the Lions take on Merinda Park under lights at Toomuc Reserve in a replay of last year’s thriller that ended in a tie. Stand-in skipper Jack Anning said there was still much to look forward to for the Lions after their most impressive win for the season. “It makes for an exciting finish, doesn’t it,” Anning said after Saturday’s win. “We’ve got Merinda Park, then Cardinia,

which will be a really tough game, then Beaconsfield and Upper Beaconsfield and then we finish off with Kooweerup. There’s no doubt we’ve put ourselves in a tough position but we’d back ourselves to win all of those games if we can produce our best cricket, and that’s what we need to do if we want to play finals.” Cardinia (154) continued its dominant season, remaining unbeaten and putting Merinda Park

Rebels without a clue By JARROD POTTER WGCA District and Sub-District review - Round 9 (one-day) THE billing for Pakenham Upper/ Toomuc (8/129) versus Cranbourne Meadows (128) did not live up to its billing as the Yabbies stormed through the Rebels’ batting order. Another instalment of the Shannon Marum (64) show entertained the crowd as he went the tonk and tried to deposit a few balls onto Pakenham Road. His cavalier 64 helped add 87 for the fourth scalp with captain Brent Murdoch (25) before the collapse set in and left the Rebels defending a slender score. It would not be an easy chase for the Yabbies - suffering their own middle order slump - but the work of Darren Warne (46) in tandem with Josh Noonan (21) and Stephen Boltong (19) started the innings off in style. From 100 to 120, six Yabbies’ wickets fell as Jason Poole (3/27) and John Emery (2/21) started to latch on. The last ditch effort of Kyval (13no) saw off the last few runs to eke out the two wicket win. Three losses on the trot have the Rebels free-falling from first to fifth and they will need to bounce back against Nar Nar Goon/Maryknoll this weekend. DEVON Meadows (156) is all but done in the race for finals after ca-

(128) back in its place with a 26-run win at Gunton Oval. The experienced trio of Neil Barfuss (53), Simon Parrott (29) and Ben Darose (21) led the charge with the bat for the Bulls against a Dylan Cuthbertson (4/28) inspired Cobras’ attack. Cuthbertson (59 not out) then played a lone hand as Dean Henwood (3/10 off 8) and Barfuss (3/18 off 6) produced another near perfect display with the cherry. Reigning champs Kooweerup (127) survived a scare against the winless Beaconsfield (105) at Perc Allison Oval. Matt Davey (43) and Dananja Madushanka (18 not out) rescued the Demons from a precarious 6/40, after Shameera Weerasinghe (3/25 off 8) and Richard Gault (3/21 off 5) had done the early damage. The Demons' bowling is spot on at the moment and Ron Bright Jr (3/19 off 6.3), John Bright (2/16 off 8) and Davey (2/20 off 8) shook their team free of danger to chalk up their fifth win on the trot. Weerasinghe (27) and Brett Monagle (22) almost had the Tigers across the line... but just lacked support.

pitulating against Clyde (7/218) on Sunday. As Clyde belted 7/218 from its 40 overs John Simpson (40) and Bradley Birkhead (42) picked up the pieces after Gav Adams (0) fell to Adam Newstead (1/28) early on. The Panthers struggled to break the partnerships and halt the Cougars racking up a strong tally. Dave Denton (38) and captain Kyle Brooke (37) iced the job to push Clyde past 200 and create more headaches for Lucas Carroll and his men to mitigate before the Meadows fell to the might of Pat Lawson (5/33) in response, despite the best efforts of Panthers captain Lucas Carroll (50) in tandem with Kyle Salerno (24) and Bryce Ingram (24). Second place Clyde will head to St Francis Xavier while seventh placed Devon Meadows is off to Officer. A SLOW outfield didn’t stop Lyndhurst Vikings (9/163) piling up a sizeable win over St Francis Xavier (79) and taking the top of the ladder. The ground soaked up the week’s rain and it was as slow as a snail race - forcing Lyndhurst to run plenty of hard run twos and threes to make any inroads. Mark Henry (72) feasted best out of the Lyndhurst order as he raced to his third half-ton in 2014/15 and past 300 runs for the season. Peppered the Vikings were Chris

The only man to savour the conditions at St Francis Xavier Oval on Saturday was Lyndhurst number three Mark Henry, who notched up Picture: JARROD POTTER 72. 132888 Shepherdson (2/24), Dom Ciconte (2/28) and Todd Roscoe (2/35), who all kept things tidy. The response was short and brutal for the X-Men as they succumbed rapidly. Nick Macdonald - three wickets - led the rampage before Aaron Straughair - two wickets - and Ammar Bajwa - four wickets - cleaned up the X-Men tail to finish off the bottom placed side in 23 overs. St Francis Xavier will host Clyde while top of the table Lyndhurst Vikings head up the hill to Pakenham Upper/Toomuc. IN SUB-DISTRICT cricket, Clyde’s (124) modest tally was more than enough to dispatch Nyora (61). It was set up through Joel Avard (57) who claimed his second half century of the season to bat out the overs under pressure from Nyora’s new recruit Chris Simmons (4/21). There wasn’t much to smile

about in reply as the Maroons coughed and spluttered to 61. The win keeps Clyde in the hunt to stay in Sub-District next year (as Nyora’s first team can’t be relegated under usual WGCA rules), with the Cougars now 18 points behind Emerald with five rounds remaining and will host Pakenham on Saturday. CARDINIA (50) suffered at the hands of Tooradin (141) - with the Seagulls swooping on the Bulls at any opportunity. Aaron Creasey (38) and Michael Ralph (32) kept the tempo up for the home side to push towards a reasonable target. In response Cardinia was devastated by the likes of Tom Bethune taking 4/6 off six overs, while Brenton Adams (3/14) and Tim Lenders (2/12) slaughtered the rest of the Bulls. Second ranked Tooradin hosts Nyora this week while fifth placed Cardinia hosts Lang Lang.

REMEMBER when utes were just that, utility vehicles? Cargo carriers with a sedan front end and a big tray behind into which lots of stuff could be stuffed. Some still do use their utes in the old fashioned way, to cart things, but many are now bought as large sportscars with extraordinary large boots. Utes, such as the Holden SV6 Ute that spent time in our driveway last week, are increasingly popular with ‘the boys’ and sometimes girls as well. Many external styling changes to the VF Ute distinguish it from the VE Ute it supersedes. The new front gives it a stockier look, partly because the bonnet has been raised to incorporate pedestrian protection but also to follow the global General Motors latest design theme. Although it’s built on the same platform as the VE Commodore, about 60 per cent of chassis components have been either modified or replaced. The use of an aluminium bonnet has trimmed a bit off the mass of the Ute, but it’s still a large hefty vehicle. While the VF sedan has significantly different styling at the rear, the Ute and station wagon remain much the same as before. Changes to the interior are extensive and give the VF Commodore a fresh, modern look. The centrepiece is the large, easy-to-read eight-inch colour touchscreen with well-spaced controls that are big enough to avoid hitting two-buttons at the same time. Visibility outwards is still marred by the wide A-pillars that we have been complaining about since the launch of the VE Commodore. Some alterations have been made to the trim to try and cure this. Slimming the underlying metal was going to be expensive so we will have to live with the need to move our heads about to negate the blind spots

created by those big pillars. The awkward handbrake we found irritating in the VE Commodore for so many years has finally been replaced by a small electric unit in the centre console, it’s so much easier to use. The big VF Commodore Ute lopes along with a minimum of fuss and makes light of coarsechip road surfaces that can rattle even the most expensive Europeans. It deals with corrugated dirt tracks as though they’re barely there. The phrase ‘built tough for Australia’ is an oldie but a goodie. On the open road the interior of the Commodore is noticeably quieter than before and there are times when you forget you’re driving a commercial vehicle because it feels like a relatively upmarket sedan. The 3.6-litre V6 and the six-speed automatic behind it are both responsive; they communicate electronically with one another to give pleasing amounts of torque at all times. However, the V6 is still not as smooth as similar engines used in many competitors. It’s certainly not as harsh as when first introduced almost a decade ago, but it really should be better. Now, it may never be… Performance is strong, yet fuel consumption is surprisingly low for a big utility. Expect the 3.6 V6 to use about seven to nine litres per 100 kilometres when cruising in the country and about nine to 11 litres when driven sensibly in suburban areas. Handling is excellent with

good feedback through the steering. The new electric power steering (EPS) unit gives a sharp feel that’s all but indistinguishable from that of the hydraulic units used in all previous Commodores. EPS is there primarily as a fuel saver because it only takes power from the engine when it’s needed, not all the time as when a hydraulic pump is running non-stop. There’s something just right about settling into these big Holden utilities. They give a feeling of easygoing security on all roads, good, indifferent, bad, awful that’s simply not there on many imported cars. We will miss this ‘something’ when Australian designed and built car vanish from the motoring scene forever in 2017.

to learn what they all do and mean. The leather is smooth and soft, the big steering wheel is perfectly sized if a little flat in the face for some tastes and the seats are fantastically comfortable. The central console is high to give the impression you’re sitting lower than you might expect. It makes the Macan feel low and snug. The three-dial dash is very clever, with a traditional speedo and tachometer and a third screen that can be changed around to suit your needs - trip computer, sat-nav, whatever takes your fancy. A 7.8-inch screen sits in the middle of the Festival of Buttons and controls everything from your phone and music through to sat-nav. The 11-speaker stereo is a good one, with great sound and was very easy to set up, despite the controls being shared between console and steering wheel. The Porsche V6 is quite a thing - from 3.0 litres and two turbos comes 250 kW of power and 460 Nm of torque (the Turbo ups the figures to 294 kW and 550 Nm). With stop-start and a seven-speed DPK (dual clutch) transmission, the Macan S sprints to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. It uses a claimed 8.7 litres per 100km. In the real world, you'll see low double figures fuel consumption. Drive is to all four wheels through the seven-speed transmission, with a clear bias to the rear wheels. The Macan is home to eight airbags, stability and traction control, load-limited and pretensioned seat belts, ABS, EBS and brake force distribution. There is no ANCAP safety rating for the Macan. Straight away this feels different to your average fast SUV. It doesn’t have a lumpy ride or feel compromised through the steering. While its close relative, the Audi SQ5, is a great car, there

are a few things about it that might not appeal, the ride in particular. Porsche’s active ride system irons everything out in Comfort mode, giving a firm but compliant urban ride quality while never stuttering on the fast or high-frequency stuff. Switch everything up to Sport and the car’s character changes considerably. The engine becomes a lot more vocal and the shifts become super-fast, almost imperceptible. What’s most impressive is that free-spinning twin-turbo V6 - it cheerfully winds out to the redline without the hesitation in that last few hundred rpm many forced induction engines suffer from. It’s terrific fun in the fast stuff, too - always willing, with little understeer and a proper slingshot feel out of the bends. Nobody has a fast SUV as complete as the Macan. BMW has nothing in this size, Mercedes tries to straddle size and price with the hardas-nails GLA 45 and the only thing that comes close is Audi’s diesel-only SQ5. Japan, Korea and Britain are yet to fire their weapons. What none of those have is Porsche’s engineering prowess (Stuttgart says the Macan is 70 per cent their own, and feels it too) and for many people that badge is going to be superimportant (even if total cost of ownership isn’t). As is that price - at well under $90,000 before on-roads, the petrol Macan S is a performance bargain and a cracker of an entry into Porsche ownership. Model range Macan S Diesel 3.0-litre turbo-diesel fivedoor wagon: $84,900 (automatic); Macan S 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol five-door wagon: $86,700 (automatic); Macan Turbo 3.6-litre V6 turbo-petrol five-door wagon: $122,400 (automatic).

Porsche's second SUV is more Porsche and less pork.

C769636-KK10-10

PORSCHE purists are still whining, but the fact of the matter is that if Porsche doesn’t do SUVs, the purists are unlikely to get machines like the 918 Spyder or Cayman GTS. So that argument is pretty much over for the rest of the internet, thank goodness. Porsche’s challenge now is to continue to grow its SUV line-up while maintaining the balance between sporty and utility. It’s started from a good base, both technologically and financially - you can have either the diesel or petrol Macan S for a long way south of $100,000. The Macan’s current range starts with the $84,900 sixcylinder turbo-diesel and then the two twin-turbo petrol V6s, the 3.0 litre S and the strangely-named 3.6 litre $122,400 Turbo. Our car was the mid-spec $86,700 petrol-powered S. Standard on board is an 11-speaker stereo with Bluetooth, USB and in-built hard disc, dual-zone climate-control, alarm with motion sensor, rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors, trailer sway control, hill descent control, electric front seats with memory, sat-nav, auto bi-xenon headlights, power mirrors, auto wipers and active ride suspension. Added to the S, and from a substantial options list, was a panoramic sunroof ($3790), full leather ($3720), sport chrono package ($2690), handsome 20-inch wheels ($2130), side skirts ($1920), brushed aluminium interior package ($1090), front heated seats ($890), triple zone climate control ($830) and black roof rails ($750). While this brings the price up to a whopping $104,510, it doesn’t make the Macan any faster because it’s all cosmetic apart from the sport chrono package. This little lot adds a stopwatch to your dashboard but also adds the Sport Plus button which brings faster, sharper shifts and throttle response. The Cayenne is a bit of a mess stylistically, and the Macan’s front end is probably a little too close to big brother’s bloated bonce. Move to the side, however, and things improve immeasurably. The falling roofline lands in a very cool homage to the 911, with slim LED lights and all the right angles to make the Macan look quick. Naturally, this bites into the boot space and also appears to shift the rear seats a little further forward than might be ideal and rendering rear leg room marginal for anyone over about five and a half feet. The front of the cabin is very Porsche, so you have to take the good with the bad. It does look terrific (good) but there seems to have been a nasty accident at a button factory (bad). There are buttons everywhere across the dash and down the console and it takes a while
