THE BE

Family gutted By ANEEKA SIMONIS THE roof has collapsed in on their Pakenham home, they’ve lost all of their furniture and sentimental paintings by their children - but these brave parents will soldier on. Melinda Reid, 29, and her husband Scott Reid, 27, recalled the feeling they had when a family member told them their Belvedere Drive home was on fire. They were in Morwell with their son Bailey, 3, and their daughter Jasmine, 5, was at kinder when the nightmare call rang through after 4.30pm on Monday 30 November. They have lost nearly all their material possessions - but couldn’t be more thankful that everyone is safe, including their pets. “It’s been such a big rollercoaster. I did all my crying yesterday but now I know - there is nothing we can do,� Melinda said. The fire, which originated along the fence line at the left side of the home, has gutted the home, with the roof caving in. One casualty of the fire was Jasmine’s favourite toy - a purple dog named Violet. But in true Pakenham form, the community have stretched their arms around the Reid family, with a constant line of strangers coming to the home to express their sympathy and drop off necessities including toiletries and toys for the kids - including a new Violet dog for Jasmine. “We are overwhelmed. People keep dropping things off here, even strangers,� Melinda said. But sadly for the kids, who celebrated their birthdays in recent weeks, the majority of their new toys were lost in the flames. Their parents scoured through the

Parents Scott and Melinda Reid with kids Jasmine and Bailey at the door of their fire-ravaged home.

Damage inside the Reids’ home. home to salvage what they could - but came back largely empty handed. “Bailey is devastated. When we were in there, he was really worried the roof was going to cave in on us. He didn’t want us to be in there. He’s very quiet which is unusual for him,� Melinda said. Scott is determined to make Christ-

mas a happy one for his family, detailing plans to inspect a new rental home barely 24 hours after the nightmare blaze and assuring his kids they will still go camping down the Murray River over New Year. “We are still up. At the end of the day, we lost material things. We are fine, the kids are fine,� he said.

“The Christmas gifts are still on layby, so Santa can still come.� Though the family intend to rebuild their lives as seamlessly as possible, it will take time for them to re-establish following the significant loss. Melinda’s sister Rhianon Williams set up a fund-raiser account for the family to ensure they have as normal a

Christmas as possible. If you would like to donate to the family’s recovery effort, visit https:// www.gofundme.com/fcc34ybs The family made a special thankyou to a fire-fighter who saved their goldfish - Anna and Elsa, while their dog Dozer also made a safe escape.

Drivers barely behaving By ANEEKA SIMONIS A YOUNG and drunken race-goer caught leaving the Pakenham Cup race day in an illegally crammed car was one of several badly behaved drivers pinged by police over the weekend. A 21-year-old probationary driver tried to flee police when he observed a booze bus at the major exits of the Pakenham Racecourse after the dayevent on Sunday 29 November. Police said the man made a swift U-turn back into the racecourse grounds. He was intercepted by police and returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.119 - more than twice the legal limit. His car will be impounded for 30 days at the cost of $1060 in towing and storage fees and his licence was suspended until the case is heard in the Magistrates' Court early next year. Cardinia Highway Patrol Sergeant Rob Atkinson said the 21-year-old will face more than drink-driving charges in court. “He was also driving a two-seater utility and was carrying two other passengers and himself in the vehicle,” Sgt Atkinson reported. “It is extremely disappointing to see a young probationary licence holder that should be 0.00 provide a reading of 0.119.

“This is a blatant disregard for the road laws, himself and his unrestrained passengers and all other road users. “Young drivers need to realise they are not invincible and these laws are in place for the safety of the whole community including themselves.” A 49-year-old female from Bunyip was also caught out by police, returning a reading of 0.89 despite claiming she had only had two drinks during the race event. Another race-goer was detected speeding more than 30km/h over the limit. The driver, caught travelling at 112km/h in an 80km/h zone on Kooweerup Road in Kooweerup, received a $493 fine, lost four demerit points and had his licence suspended for a month. Sgt Atkinson issued strict warnings to drivers as they prepare for Christmas, or the ‘silly season’. “If you make the poor decision to drive in excess of the prescribed concentration of alcohol or with any illicit drugs in your system, we will catch you,” he said. He was pleased to report police conducted 20 drug tests which all returned negative results. Police tested 400 drivers for intoxication.

Double the cup cheer for Weir IT was a day for doubles at the Bruce Clough Mazda Pakenham Cup race meeting on Sunday. Melbourne Cup-winning trainer Darren Weir made it two Pakenham Cups in the one year when his staff saddled up Our Voodoo Prince to win the feature race. Weir won the first version of the Pakenham Cup on the new Tynong sur-

face back in April with Tooleybuc Kid, giving him the rare distinction of training a cup double in the one calendar year. The Pakenham Racing Club has moved its feature race from autumn to spring, hence the two cups in 2015. To continue that theme, star jockey Damien Oliver rode the feature double on Sunday, winning the cup on Our

Car thieves are on a roll By ANEEKA SIMONIS CAR thefts in Cardinia Shire during the past year have increased by almost three times the overall state rise. The figures come as Victoria overtook New South Wales to become dubbed the nation’s stolen car capital. Police statistics show that Cardinia saw a 14 per cent rise in thefts after 187 cars were stolen in 2014-15, up from 163 in 2013-14. Over the same period Victoria recorded a 5.3 per cent increase in car thefts with more than 13,600 cars stolen across the state, taking it to the top of the list for car thefts Australia wide. In the latest Cardinia theft spree four cars were stolen over the space of four days in Pakenham and Officer. Cardinia Crime Investigation Unit (CIU) Detective Senior Sergeant Trevor Smith said three cars were stolen between noon on Sunday 22 November and early the next morning. In one case, thieves entered a com-

mercial premises in Officer South Road during the day on Sunday 22 November by cutting a hole in the fence before breaking into a 2004 Kia Ute which they then used to ram open the gates to make their getaway. And a luxury car was also taken from an property in Eagle Drive, Pakenham, between 11pm on Sunday 22 November and 6.10am on Monday 23 November. The owner told police they did not hear the white A5 Audi, registration XUU UUX, being taken despite it being fitted with an alarm. CIU Detective Sergeant Phil Jury said thieves did not have a preference for any particular car model but warned owners that unlocked cars made easy pickings. He said the number of auto crimes has increased significantly in recent years and blamed owners who left their cars unlocked for the rise. Sgt Jury also said the corresponding increase in unlocked homes was con-

tributing to the problem. He said thieves were getting into unlocked homes and making off with loot which included keys to cars that had been left in the garage. “It’s becoming fairly common,” he said and suggested car keys should be left out of sight in the home. In one case thieves rummaged through a home in Flinders Park Drive, Officer, at 2.15am on Tuesday 24 November, taking off with the keys to a 2006 white Toyota Corolla which they stole and later used in a petrol driveoff. In another incident four days before thieves stole a car after gaining entry to a home through an open laundry window and found car keys. There was no difference in the rate at which cars remained permanently missing with 63 per cent of stolen cars, or 118 vehicles, recovered in 2014-15. Despite the rising theft rates, police figures show that police are getting better at finding stolen cars with 25 per

The Victorian Law Reform Committee is concerned that unlicensed scrap traders are supporting crime. cent more cars being returned to their owners in Cardinia Shire in 2014-15 compared to 2013-14. Police have reportedly asked the government to ban cash for scrap metal because they say that the trade provides a lucrative outlet for stolen cars.

It is believed stolen cars are being traded in to unlicensed operators for as little as $50 to support ice addiction or fuel criminal activities. The report is due to be handed down by the Victorian Law Reform Committee.

About 120 people attended the event, which raised $4500 to put towards the cause. Organiser Caroline Giuliano said Millhaven hoped to raise money for five machines at a cost of $2300 each. “We had a great response to the Legends Showcase, and we’re hoping for a few other donations and fund-raisers to reach our target,” she said. “There was also a silent auction on the night, and we had memorabilia and a range of tickets to give away that were provided by sponsors.” As well as music, dancing and a photo booth with props, guests were also treated to a buffet dinner.

Skilled approach needed By GEORGIA WE3STGARTH

Year 9 student Brandon getting some paint prepared. 147664 counsellors at schools thought about panel beating had been an even more productive tool than just educating the student’s themselves. “We’ve changed the way we are going about things to see a return of young people in this field,” she said. The innovative and forward thinking team has also identified mental health as a problem in the trade. “We’ve had to educate ourselves in mental health because we’ve realised that what’s happening outside of work can heavily affect a young person’s work performance,” Nicky said. “It’s important to us to make sure our young apprentices feel like a worthy part of our team because they are. “That’s why we are using our older experienced tradesmen as teachers, mentors and friends for our younger tradesmen.” Utilising all ages and skill levels at

“WE decided that we needed to address the stigma around panel beating because it’s no longer the ‘barking dog at the door, hat, beer in hand and dirty, dusty’ job people think it is.” Cranbourne Body Works is taking on the panel beating and spray painting industry one apprentice at a time. The business has been operating in Cranbourne for 27 years and owners Nicky and Kevin Slattery said they had to make some drastic changes to ensure its longevity. Cranbourne Body Works along with the entire trade have been struggling to find and keep interested apprentices for more than two years. “We thought why aren’t the kids coming, where are they, why don’t they want to learn?” Nicky said. “We’ve always had young school leavers knocking on our door asking for work but that has all stopped. “And the current tradesmen are an ageing workforce and there’s a skills shortage Australia wide because there are not enough young people coming through.” Earlier this year Nicky and Kevin decided to hold a staff meeting to discuss where to take their business. “We spoke about what we needed

to do to get the apprentices back and with the region experiencing high unemployment we figured there must be all this talent sitting out there wasted. “So we’ve tried to address the problem in schools,” Nicky said. Joining forces with both the Cardinia Shire and Casey councils and numerous schools in the area, Cranbourne Body Works is now seen as an employment trailblazer in the field. “The VACC (Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce) have got on board and said they haven’t been able to penetrate schools as effective as we have,” Nicky said. Since January this year the business has held information presentations at numerous local schools and on 26 November took a group of Pakenham High School Year 9 students on a tour of their garage. “After putting it all into practice this year we saw results within the first three months,” Nicky said. “We are showing the young students that panel beating and spray painting is not what it used to be - it’s safer and cleaner now and is a very technical and highly skilled job. “Our tradesmen are constantly getting re-trained in areas that are changing as cars are changing.” Nicky said shifting the way career

DIRECTOR Sophie Wiesner gathered with her film crew in a Sydney pub when their family violence documentary finally went to air last Thursday. They watched eagerly and tweeted madly as the groundbreaking film ‘Call Me Dad’ was broadcast on the ABC across the nation. The documentary, which coincided with last week’s White Ribbon initiative, focuses on the inner workings of a men’s behavioural change group in Narre Warren. Over 16 weeks last year independent film-maker Sophie and her team chronicled the men involved in the group Heavy METAL - short for Men’s Education Towards Anger and Life. The documentary focuses on three men in particular - each a father and perpetrator of violence - and their families. “It’s really special to be able to share something we’ve been working on for years now, and to know we’ve been watching it with hundreds of thousands of others,� Sophie told Star News after the film’s debut. “I guess there’s also some trepidation as well. We think we’ve made a compelling and engaging film, but we don’t know how other people are going to react.� Sophie is incredibly proud and respectful of the bravery shown by the participants who allowed their stories to be broadcast on national television, and made sure she checked in

proud of what the film has been able to show, and I think they’ve received some really positive feedback from ex-clients and people that work in the sector,� Sophie said. “There isn’t a film like this as far as they’re aware. “The conversations have also turned to what can we do with this film? Can it be used for community and corporate screenings? “Can it be used as part of an educational offering?� The answer to these questions is “yes�, with Sophie urging readers to host a community screening and put together a discussion panel.

Project’s plastic pollution perturbs pupils

Authorised agent at:

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

29-31 High St, Berwick 3806.

A SCIENCE project at Coral Park Primary School has found plastic to be the number one pollutant at the neighbouring River Gum Creek Reserve in Hampton Park. One hundred Grade 5 and 6 students took the science and maths experiment and found plastic made up 64 per cent of the rubbish in the wetlands adjacent to their school. School teacher Kirwan Peluso said the students were surprised by the items that were found dumped at the parklands. “We found push bikes and bike frames and other household items and I myself was shocked at the findings,” Ms Peluso said. “It looked like the rubbish had been there for a long time, wrappers had faded in colour and plastics were embedded into the ground.” The students covered about a square kilometre of land and Ms Peluso said the sheer amount collected and the places it was found has sparked the school students to want to do something about it. “We found there are no rubbish bins in the area and our aim now is to put some plans into action and perhaps speak to the council about our ideas,” she said. The students collected two garbage bags of rubbish over the weeklong investigations and Ms Peluso said cardboard and paper came sec-

Archbishop admits ‘failure’ By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS CARDINAL George Pell has been excluded from blame by Melbourne’s Archbishop Denis Hart for the clergy’s “terrible failure� in dealing with an abusive parish priest at Holy Family Parish in Doveton. At a Royal Commission hearing into institutions’ response to child sex abuse on 30 November, Mr Hart criticised his predecessor Archbishop Frank Little and Vicars-General for not sooner removing a “just mad, psychotic� Father Peter Searson from the parish. Father Searson presided over the parish in 1984-97 despite senior clergy and the Catholic Education Office receiving numerous complaints from the school principal, teachers, parents and pupils, the hearing at the County Court was told. The claims included allegedly molesting and striking children, pointing a hand gun at child cleaners, flinging a cat by its tail to its death, killing a baby bird with a screwdriver and showing children a dead body in a coffin. The Melbourne Archdiocese showed a “complete failure of process as to the handling of the complaints�, Archbishop Hart said. “There was such a respect that only the Archbishop could act, that this introduced a paralysis.� He said the paralysis extended from Archbishop Little to those advising him at the time of Father Searson’s reign of terror. “There was information coming in from Allan Dooley, the director of (Catholic) edu-

cation (who) was meeting with the Archbishop. “These things were being presented again and again and again, and nothing was happening.� Cardinal Pell was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of the region, including Doveton, in 1987 - and held talks with four concerned school staff about Father Searson two years later. While under questioning from counsel assisting the Royal Commission, Archbishop Hart “excluded� Cardinal Pell from blame. “Well, I think as Archbishop he instituted the Melbourne Response and really made big changes. “I have no knowledge of what he or another Auxiliary Bishop in Archbishop Little’s time - as what we’d say ... how hard they knocked on the door.� He later said he would have expected then-Auxiliary Bishop Pell to know what was happening in Doveton. “I would have expected him to have an adequate degree of knowledge; whether he knew all these awful things, which make me feel ashamed, I’m not sure. “Well, he’d have to explain what he did and didn’t know, but there was a complete failure of process.� Archbishop Hart was questioned why his statement to the Royal Commission catalogued complaints made about Father Searson but didn’t mention a delegation of Holy Family staff meeting Auxiliary Bishop Pell in 1989. “Well, I’d say that’s just an omission that’s all.

“Inadvertent, yes. I have no brief for playing down the evil of this situation; it just went on and on and on and people were placed in great danger.� When asked about Father Searson showing a dead body in a coffin to a group of children, Archbishop Hart said: “Just mad, psychotic ... he shouldn’t have been there.� As Auxiliary Bishop, Hart “would have gone to the Archbishop also and asked to say that ‘you’ve got to get him out of the place straight away’, he told the hearing. Then-Auxiliary Bishop Pell, on the other hand, “indicated that he thought all he could do was to pass the information on to the Vicar-General (Bishop Peter Connors)�, according to a Catholic Education Office memo. “I would have been, to use His Honour’s phrase, knocking heavily at the door,� Archbishop Hart said. He described his predecessor Archbishop Little’s approach as tending to “push the complaint away�. “I’d have to say that Archbishop Little didn’t like confrontation and, therefore, the thought of forcing a man out from an appointment might force him to leave the priesthood and that, he found, terribly distasteful.� In 1997, Father Searson was finally removed as priest, put on administrative leave and charged with unlawful assault after a complaint of him hitting an altar boy. He was released without conviction on a good behaviour bond, and died in 2009.

Predator priest By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS WIELDING a gun, stealing school funds and molesting children - no allegation was strong enough to dislodge parish priest Father Peter Searson from Doveton’s Holy Family Parish and school for 13 years. Former student Julie Stewart told a Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse on 25 November that she was preyed on by Father Searson in the privacy of the Catholic confession box soon after he arrived in 1984. Searson was the last of a string of four accused paedophile priests overseeing the Doveton parish from 1972-97. During 12 months, Searson’s indecency progressed from coercing her to sit on his knee, requesting her to kiss his lips, and touching her genitals, Ms Stewart told the hearing at the County Court in Melbourne. On the final occasion in 1985, he sat her on his lap while he was aroused and whispered “you’re a good girl. The Lord forgives you�. Ms Stewart told the hearing she ran out “sobbing and hyperventilating� to a teacher and other children waiting in confessional. She was taken to see principal Graham Sleeman at the time and didn’t go to confession again. Mr Sleeman told the hearing after that incident he was “convinced beyond doubt� that his boss Searson was “interfering� with boys and girls. “On that very day that she came out, a little girl who was

always open and communicative to me became a total recluse. “That is the day that I became extremely concerned about what other children in my care were going to be damaged by this guy.� Mr Sleeman told the hearing he argued with Searson’s concept of reconciliation, in which he was “hellbent� on instructing each child in the privacy of the confessional. “He was, you’d almost say, paranoid about making it happen that way.� Mr Sleeman’s repeated complaints were met with no action from the Catholic Education Office nor senior clergy right up to Archbishop Frank Little. They kept telling him there wasn’t enough evidence. “That’s my greatest cross that I have to bear now, that perhaps I didn’t provide enough safety for the children that were placed in my care. “I’m saying ‘yeah there’s the evidence, this is what he’s doing. It is contrary to church teachings, it’s contrary to general conduct of a person who is involved with children’. “They treated me like a dill.� By that time, the principal had complaints of Searson pulling an army service revolver on boy cleaners at the school, taperecording confessions with children, stealing $45,000 of school money for personal use and asking children to kneel between his knees. One of his class teachers was refusing to take her pupils to Searson’s reconciliation con-

fessionals because of the allegations. “I challenged them on the fact of ‘would you guys believe a video recording that I brought to you?’ And they didn’t respond. “So I said ‘hey you wouldn’t even believe that, would you? Because it would create scandal for you guys, that you couldn’t handle’.� Mr Sleeman threatened to resign in 1986, but was still told by the Catholic Education Office that Searson would remain at Doveton for the foreseeable future. Mr Sleeman was warned he might not get another job if he resigned. And that’s the way it played out as he unsuccessfully applied for Catholic school principal vacancies over the next 10 years. “What compounds this whole sorry story is the fact of the authority and the standing and the power. That the people in Doveton, or a good percentage of the people in Doveton, would have seen that the parish priest is someone who is beyond reproach. “I believed, and I am convinced now, that the Melbourne Archdiocese had no concern for the parisioners of Holy Family School Doveton and what priests they sent to them.� Searson was finally removed as a priest, put on administrative leave and charged with unlawful assault after a complaint of him hitting an altar boy. He was released without conviction on a good behaviour bond, and died in 2009.

Connor Raselli tapping out a tune on the piano at his Picture: GARY SISSONS Berwick home. 147730 Connor is now a member of the eight-piece ICAN band. “He rehearses every Sunday, he’s the youngest in the band, and it’s given him amazing opportunities he wouldn’t have otherwise had,” Elk said. The ICAN band performed in front of a crowd of 500 people at the launch of the ICAN Network on Monday 23 November at the Docklands. “Connor played the key-

board in front of all those people, and it was filmed by the ABC - I can’t speak highly enough of ICAN and what they’ve given to Connor,” Elk said. With a new musical hobby, new friends and a fresh a start at a new school for people on the autism spectrum Connor “is a changed man”.

Connor truly says ICAN CONNOR’S life has been changed through music. Connor Raselli, 14, is on the autism spectrum, and struggles to make friends, his mum Elk Raselli said. But since listening to an inspiring speech at an ICAN Network seminar, the former Berwick Grammar student decided to take a leap of faith and join the rethink autism movement. Since joining the network Elk said her son was a different person. His life is “happier and brighter", she said. “It’s hard for him to make friends because generally people on the autism spectrum have social and emotional disabilities and they can be highly intelligent but struggle socially. “ICAN has been absolutely fantastic for him, it’s been a positive in his life and given him mentors who also have autism that he can go to and speak to about things.” However, the biggest change in Connor’s daily life since joining ICAN in April this year has been teaching himself how to play the piano. “After he got back from his first ICAN camp, I heard him having a tinkle on the piano and I thought wow,” Elk said of her son’s musical transformation. “The piano had just been sitting there - it was ICAN that empowered him.”

“What have you done today to make you feel proud?” P O Box 620 Pakenham Vic 3810

AN ENDEAVOUR Hills mother was selected as a finalist in the National Carer Awards announced at Parliament House in Melbourne on Monday. Denise Damouni was selected as a finalist for this year’s National Carer Awards, presented by Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams on behalf of Life Without Barriers and Carers Australia. Denise has been a committed and dedicated carer for her adult son, who sadly passed away in July this year. Her son, who was only 31, had lived with dual diagnosis for many years. Nothing could prepare De-

nise and her husband and family for the loss of their son and brother, who left an enormous void in their lives. “Dual diagnosis is not contagious - people need to be empathetic,” Denise said. “Families and people living with these illnesses don’t need sympathy - they need empathy and to be better understood.” As a mother first and foremost, Denise supported her son through his health journey and has devoted much of her life to accessing the services and therapies he needed to stay healthy. Over the past few years, Denise has been a strong supporter for carers of people with mental health and substance use issues.

She said the hardest part about supporting someone living with mental illness was the discrimination that existed through a lack of understanding. Denise now continues to support her husband and daughter, and remains committed to finding ways to help others. Life Without Barriers chief executive Claire Robbs said all the finalists were to be congratulated. “We want to give the community a better understanding of unpaid carers across the country as they have such an important role in the lives of people they support,” she said.

An ice cold stabbing By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A FAMILY violence offender who waved a long-bladed knife in front of his ex-partner as she fed their eightmonth-old son and then repeatedly stabbed her fridge has been refused bail. Joel Stephen Smith, a 26-year-old chronic ice user with “anger issues” and a “violent history”, also crashed his speeding car into a fence as he fled from police in Narre Warren, Dandenong Magistrates’ Court heard on 30 November. Informant Constable Sean Osborne of Frankston police said Smith had committed numerous breaches of an intervention order protecting his expartner, who was in fear of him. In one instance Smith walked uninvited into the ex-partner’s home through the back door as she fed their son on 31 August.

The accused, who was holding a “huge hunting knife”, was quickly enraged when told by the victim to leave immediately, Const Osborne said. He stabbed the fridge three times “penetrating the shell of the fridge with ease”, the informant told the court. The ex-partner fled outside with her son and called police. Two weeks later Smith allegedly went to the victim’s home and punched her in the stomach as she played with their son on a bed. During the attack he pushed her back on the bed, pressed down on her and took away their son. He then repeatedly punched her upper arm. On 28 October Smith was parked in a car with three friends in Sweeney Reserve, Narre Warren, when a police vehicle arrived, the court was told. Smith allegedly drove his car towards and around the police car, pulled

a U-turn and drove away over a flower bed. The accused lost control of his car on a bend and collided with a fence. He and the occupants were uninjured despite a metal pole smashing through the driver’s side window, Const Osborne said. Smith scrambled over his front passenger to escape through a window and was found by police walking along Monash Freeway two kilometres away. The unlicensed driver tested positive for methamphetamine at the time. Smith’s lawyer said the accused did not concede he possessed two knives found in the car - a 30-centimetre hunting knife and a 20-centimetre doublebladed weapon. The accused had gained 19 kilograms while in custody for the past month, which suggested he was detoxing from a “six points a day” ice habit,

the lawyer said. A credit bail program consisting of counselling and “long overdue” men’s behaviour change seminars would help Smith deal with the “depths of his addiction”, his lawyer said. Magistrate Julie O’Donnell refused bail despite the “impressive” testimony of a long-time school friend who offered Smith a room while on bail. Ms O’Donnell was concerned about the risk to the public, noting that Smith had committed his offences while on bail and that had been put on a community corrections order for family violence six weeks prior to his recent offending. He had possessed a controlled weapon, was lucky not to injure anyone during the car crash, and was of particular danger to his ex-partner. Smith was remanded to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 16 December.

King of the keys ... at tender age of 10 By LACHLAN MOORHEAD WHEN Steven Widjaja plays the piano, it’s hard to believe he’s only 10 years old. The Hampton Park boy recently captivated two different audiences with his remarkable piano skills. The first was at last month’s Casey’s Got Talent event, where Steven won the special instrumentalist category. And the second audience was at the Casey Council chambers last week, where Steven was invited to play on the

back of his winning performance. David Widjaja, Steven’s dad, said his son started playing the piano at the age of six, as he looked to follow in the footsteps of his older 11-year-old brother, Michael. “When Michael started playing piano I asked Steven if he wanted to, I thought maybe he’d also want to play,” David said. “I let them have piano lessons and they’re still playing - sometimes they play solo and then sometimes they play a duet together.

A healthy and happier you

“I’m very proud.” The pair compete in regular piano competitions, while they also made it through to the producer’s audition for the reality television series ‘Australia’s Got Talent’. It’s safe to say anyone who has watched Steven and Michael play is awed by the amount of talent exhibited by both of them at such a young age. “Their piano teacher is very impressed with their progress,” David said. Watch Steven and Michael play a duet together here:

Firebug teens caught in act TWO 14-year-old boys were caught in the act when they started a grass fire in Berwick over the weekend. Local residents of Cooney Close rushed to the scene when they noticed smoke coming from a storm drain at the end of the court. Members from the Narre Warren Police Station noticed the pair suspiciously loitering near the storm drain and observed the teenagers until they saw smoke. The grass fire was put out swiftly by locals, police and the Berwick CFA, Detective Senior Sergeant Rodney Moroney said. “The two boys have been arrested and will be charged by summons,” Det Sen Sgt Moroney said. “This is a warning to anyone that we are out there and we do notice and you will get caught. “The dangers around this time of year mean that fire could have had severe consequences.”

Trainee cop gets booked

Steven, right, and his older brother Michael are very talented young pianists.

A VICTORIA Police recruit has been allegedly caught drink driving in Cranbourne West. The female trainee police officer returned a positive reading when she was intercepted during a booze bus operation on Hall Road at 8.37pm on Sunday 29 November. She was issued with a penalty notice for drink driving after a second breath test returned a reading of 0.058 per cent.

THE BEST OF THE COUNTRY

GARFIELD

FROM PAGE 1. SITUATED on 20 acres, this majestic horse property has absolutely everything one could want in a lifestyle home. A ranchstyle home has the country feel with a modern twist. The main hub of the home integrates the kitchen with living and dining zones.

An Enviable Lifestyle In A Sought After Location It’s not every day you come across a property like this. Not only is it the location; 1 acre of prime real estate with views, or the pool; classy & sophisticated it looks fresh out of a magazine, or the tennis court perfect for a Sunday swing or every day fitness, but most of all it’s the carefree feeling you get as you enter – it’s that you feel right at home. An earthly and organic décor styles this wellbuilt and well thought out home. The kitchen is sleek & stylish and very easy to work in, offering stainless steel bench tops, large butler’s pantry and Miele appliances. The master bedroom is one you would be very happy to wake up in, displaying views of the pool and oversized double vanity ensuite with spa bath. Including built in wet bar, double remote garage with internal access, large shed or man cave, ducted heating and cooling and sprinkler system.

‘Hyde Park’ Country road take me home to the stunning pastures of Hyde Park. 20 (approx.) acres of softly undulating peaceful pastures, with 180 degrees views as far as the eye can see. By day and by night you can sit and watch the world go by and yet you’re only five minutes from the heart of Beaconsfield. The humble home is an original 3 bedroom home, sturdy and strong with multiple living areas and a functional kitchen and meals area. A large tradesman shed and machinery shed, town water and 44,000 litres of tank water to automatically feed the 5 fully fenced paddocks. For those with equestrian requirements, stock farmers or simply wanting a 20 acre haven to enjoy, this enviable property so close to Beaconsfield and Berwick will tick every box. As land becomes rarer over time, this parcel can create wealth and good fortune for its new owners.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

The taste on everyone’s lips By CASEY NEILL A CLYDE herb business will use a $430,000 boost to increase its productivity by 500 per cent. Australian Fresh Leaf Herbs will use the Coles Nurture Fund Cash announced on 23 November to build a state-of-the-art hydroponic greenhouse and invest in sustainable farming methods. It’s due to be finished next March and will feature Dutch-designed rolling benches that use 85 per cent of available space, compared to growbeds which only use 60 per cent. Waste-oil heaters will regulate the greenhouse temperature, allowing increased production throughout the year. Fresh Leaf in September received the Coles Rising Star Award. Managing director Jan Vydra started the business with William Pham in Clyde in 2008. “We tried growing basil outdoors and we did relatively OK at it but we found that there was some inconsistency in controlling the crop,” he said. “We started growing more and more hydroponic produce which gave us pretty close to year-round production. The environment has also benefited. “Over the last three years growing hydroponically, we’ve saved just under half a billion litres of water compared to conventional farming,” Mr Vydra said. “This space over here grows about 10,000 bunches of basil a week. I think

it’s about 12,000 square metres, off the top of my head. “You would need 10 times that space to grow outdoors and you would use 10 times the amount of water. “Even though it’s really efficient, it’s still 52 per cent inefficient because of all the walkways. “The new technology that we’ve got will actually condense that area further. “We’ve got a shuttle system that lets us push all the things around. We’ll have 35 per cent more production per square metre.” Mr Pham had two greenhouses when he met Mr Vydra. “William actually came from a banking background but his father used to grow hydroponic tomatoes in Adelaide,” Mr Vydra said. “He’d just had enough of the corporate lifestyle. “I was running Yarra Valley Farms, which was a distributor of fruit and vegetables. “I started to get a lot of complaints about fresh herbs. “Slowly I learnt that herbs were really important to chefs because all the products really differentiate their plates and give their customers an experience.” It was at the time that MasterChef was capturing viewers’ imaginations. “I had a hospitality focus to start with but I switched to retail very quickly because those food competition programs just took off,” he said. “There’s really been a revolution in

Jan Vydra. 145490 the cooking culture in Australia. “Our business rode that wave back in 2008 when we started growing 2000 bunches of basil. “Today we probably grow 120,000 to 130,000 bunches a week.” Fresh Leaf started with one variety. “Today we have over 70 or 80 different varieties of products ranging from fresh herbs to Australian natives, edible flowers to micro cresses,” Jan said.

The company employs about 65 people and sells about 4.5 million bunches and punnets - up from 2 million in 2010 and on its way to 6.3 million by 2019, if all goes according to plan. “We want export to be the biggest part of our business,” Jan said. “We’ve got 23 million people in Australia. “Realistically we’re touching 70 per cent of the nation, which is 16 or 17 million people.

“Going into Asia, we suddenly have half a billion people that we can access, that are changing their habits and becoming more Westernised and looking for Western products.” Mr Vydra hopes the new greenhouse will help Fresh Leaf to play its part, and said vertical farming was the next frontier. He will learn about the practice from the world’s best on an overseas study tour next year, thanks to a Nuffield Australia Farming Scholarship and $30,000 from the William Buckland Foundation. This research will shape a new purpose-built facility, which Jan plans to build in two to three years. For now, it will help to transform the flower-growing house in Devon Meadows that Fresh Leaf acquired about three years ago. The Flowerdale Farm had supplied micro greens and edible flowers for about 30 years, and will soon be home to one of the most expensive greenhouses in Australia. It also now has four greenhouses dedicated to Australian natives and edible succulents. “Sometimes our products are very new so getting that cut-through for them to adopt them, especially retailers...” he said. “It trickles down. New products are really popular with chefs because they’re looking for it, they’re creative. Then consumers come in. “I think we’ve got a pretty big journey in front of us.”

Spellbound by Cos’s routine By GEORGIA WESTGARTH TAKING the world by storm one magic trick at a time Paul Cosentino first started his love affair with mystery, illusion and escapology with books from his local library in Lysterfield. Now with his second magic kit hitting stores this Christmas, the charmed star who now goes by the name ‘Cosentino’ said practice was what truly made a great magician. “I started doing magic at 12 years old mostly with books and then a kit, and these days with the internet it’s so much easier to master the skills,” Cosentino said. Still practising his skills 20

years on after coming second in the 2011 series of Australia’s Got Talent (AGT) and a successful television series on Channel Seven, Cos spends most of his time at his custombuilt studio in Hallam- the place where he did most of his thinking for his newest magic kit, ‘Astonishing Magic’. “The theme of this kit is learning the fundamentals of magic; it has 200 tricks to learn and it covers shuffling cards to mathematical tricks for all ages,” he said. Known for his gasp worthy tricks, Cos has gained worldwide fame which is a long way from where he first started per-

forming to high school students. “The first shows I did were school incursions, and when I was 17 years old I would teach children as well - I was a kid teaching kids magic,” he said. After stealing hearts with his mystical ways four years ago, Cos said he didn’t expect a lot of what’s come his way since AGT- except one thing. “I never expected 350 million people would tune into my TV show which has been aired in 40 countries. I never expected to win Dancing with the Stars or have people writing to me in Spanish on my Facebook page. “But I always knew I’d be a magician,” he said.

Teens confident after Gold Duke By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A NARRE Warren and Berwick teenager are among just 75 young Victorians who will be awarded the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award this weekend. Narre Warren’s Susan Zhang, 19, who has only been living in Australia for the last three years, will on Saturday be recognised with one of the world’s premier awards for young students. The choice to complete the Duke of Edinburgh, which was established in 1963, is entirely voluntary, with each participant choosing what activities they want to take part in for each section. Susan said her Duke of Edinburgh experience gave her the opportunity to improve her English and overcome the language barrier that became commonplace when moving to a new country. “My trip to Thailand for the residential project is one of the most amazing journeys that I have ever experienced,” she said. “I travelled there alone to spend my time with local people and work as a teaching assistant in a village school.” Seventeen-year-old Abigail Rowe, from Berwick, said embarking on the award gave her a lot of “positive energy”. “At the end of every camp, I felt so proud of myself,” she said. “This award truly allowed me to see how lucky I am.” A survey of the 2015 Gold

Susan Zhang, from Narre Warren, will be awarded the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award this weekend. Awardees conducted by The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Victoria revealed that 87 per cent found the award gave them confidence to pursue their career goals, while 94 per cent said their chances of employability had increased. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Victoria CEO Anoushka Gungadin said the award provided “real world” knowledge and essential life skills. “We are very proud of our Gold Awardees,” she said.

“They have all worked extremely hard for this award, and we are optimistic about their future with such a high percentage of awardees gaining confidence in their job prospects. “The Gold Award Gala will be a fantastic way for the community to recognise and celebrate their outstanding achievements.” The Gold Award Gala will be held in Melbourne at the Grand Hyatt this Saturday 5 December.

Pumas ready for the challenge By JARROD POTTER

Champion jockey Damien Oliver drives Our Voodoo Prince to a half-length victory in Sunday’s $100,000 Bruce Clough Mazda Pakenham Cup (2000m). 147661 Pictures: ROB CAREW

Weir’s the price Prince By DAVID NAGEL DARREN Weir, strapper Stevie Payne and a Prince - Sunday’s $100,000 Bruce Clough Mazda Pakenham Cup (2000m) had some familiar traits with the greatest racing story of the year. Sure the storyline isn’t quite as strong as Prince of Penzance’s magnificent victory in the Melbourne Cup, but Our Voodoo Prince’s win at Racing. com Park was certainly unique in its own way. It gave trainer Weir his second Pakenham Cup for the year, following Tooleybuc Kid’s history making performance at Tynong back in April, and gave Damien Oliver his third cup win after scoring aboard Seductive Belle (1996) and Ultra Smug (2000). And the first of many Pakenham Cups to be run in spring - well it confirmed Weir as the best preparer of a cup’s horse in Victoria. The knockabout trainer from Ballarat added his two Pakenham wins to 2015 cup victories at Apsley, Ararat, Donald, Hamilton, St Arnaud, Stawell, Terang, Warracknabeal and Warrnambool, while also completing one of the great Melbourne Cup stories of all time. It’s an accumulation that’s even impressing Oliver, one of the greats of the Australian turf. “He’s flying, and it’s great to team up with him,” Oliver said after Sunday’s emphatic victory. “I don’t ride for him much these days but it’s nice to get on one of Weiry’s because you know they’re always in with a chance.”

PAKENHAM has its biggest challenge of the season coming up but form is definitely on the Pumas’ side before the top-of-the-ladder clash. The Pumas have the match of the round this weekend when they face ladder-leading Mulgrave in potential VSBL division three grand final preview, going off current form. The Pumas came into Sunday in red-hot form currently having stretched their winning streak to seven after a 12-2 dissection of St Kilda. A trip to the bayside was another successful Sunday jaunt for the Pumas as the season record ballooned to 8-2 after the 10-run rampage. Simon Ferris negated St Kilda’s hitting through five superb innings before coach Shaun Fahy closed out. In what has become customary for the Pumas, the visitors smashed St Kilda about to record another mercy-rule win after seven. “After our defeat against Mulgrave, every Sunday game has been 10 run games and it’s pleasing to see the guys are coming out with the bats firing,” Fahy said. “Not one single person to single out - everyone has been hitting well and in the first five innings this week we had a lead-off double. “We got into run scoring position from the word go - we got one per innings until the fourth and opened up with a six-run fifth.” After losing 2-6 to the Dandy boys in round three, the club knows it’s necessary to back up its exceptional run and not take any backward steps heading into the Christmas break. Mulgrave has Pumas’ import pitcher James Mills to fear this time, though, as he returns to the mound for the Sunday showdown. “We get to have James starting this week as well - our best pitcher against theirs,” Fahy said. “The way we’re hitting, we can get it done and then we can go out, play strong defence and put the runs on the board and just do the little things right. “We’re probably comparable to them - we might have a bit more depth than them but it’s how you play on the day regardless.” Pakenham’s seconds were defeated by St Kil-

Pakenham will face Mulgrave in all three games at Clow Street, Dandenong, on Sunday from 3.30pm.

Gun-hoop Damien Oliver with the spoils of victory after a great ride in Sunday’s Pakenham Cup. 147661 Originally trained in the UK, Our Voodoo Prince transferred to leading Sydney trainer Chris Waller late in 2013 winning his first three races, including an impressive Easter Cup victory at Caulfield that propelled him to the high end of the 2014 Caulfield Cup markets. Unfortunately his form deteriorated, but a switch to the Weir yard in August this year has seen him reel off two wins from just six starts. Oliver said the eight-yearold gelding, who took his career stakes to more than $450,000 with the win, was still showing the qualities of a good horse. “He’s got great acceleration when he’s on,” Oliver said. “I tried to be little bit more positive from the gate but there was good speed early so I just rolled backed off them and settled midfield. When I straightened up he was still a long way off them but I certainly had the feeling he was going to be competitive for sure.”

Our Voodoo Prince defied the pattern of the day, and a betting drift from $5 to $7, to storm home over the top of joint leaders Duplicity Jones and Second Bullet to score by a half-length on the line. The cup victory gave Weir a race-to-race double after his iron-horse Burning Front took out the $70,250 O'Connor VOBIS Gold Bullion (1400m) with Brad Rawiller aboard. Rawiller and Oliver took riding honours with doubles of their own. In other highlights, local’s Michael Phillips and Vlad Duric combined to score with Monkstone in the $35,250 Pakenham Tyres BM70 Handicap (1400m), while Cranbourne trainer Ross Pecora became emotional after Winta Chiller scored her first win in nearly two years in the last on the card. The PRC will continue to break new ground with its next meeting scheduled as a twilight meeting to be run on Thursday 21 January, 2016.

Ready to explode By DAVID NAGEL IT HAS been bubbling along since early October, but West Gippsland cricket’s Premier Division is set for an explosive three-week lead into Christmas. The WGCA reverse draw will see teams that meet in round seven over the next two weeks then back up for a one-day contest in round eight on December 19. And it’s a tantalising stretch that will see the top-four sides put their premiership credentials on the line. Undefeated Pakenham will host a Tooradin side that has been unblemished since round one, while Cardinia and Merinda Park, third and fourth respectively, will look to avoid a likely slip as fifth-placed Kooweerup takes advantage of a soft part of its draw. Tooradin captain Tom Hussey

knows his Seagulls will need a complete team performance to trouble the Lions on their own deck at Toomuc Reserve. “We need everyone firing to be an honest chance of beating them,” Hussey said. “They’ve got a very strong batting line-up, but in Sutts (Dylan Sutton), Matt Welsh, Azza (Aaron Avery), and Lowndsy (Josh Lownds) we’ve got plenty of options with the ball as well. It’ll be a ripper this week - a real test to see where we’re at as a side.” The Seagulls (5/275dec) will head into this week’s heavyweight clash with mixed emotions after just falling short of an outright victory against league cellar-dwellers Cranbourne Meadows (126 and 9/170). Lownds (4/30) and Sutton (3/45) took first innings bowling honours, while Tim Lenders (5/18) led the

Seagulls’ charge to an outright in the Rebels’ second dig. But their efforts were foiled by an outstanding contribution from Shameera Weerasinghe, who backed up his 67 in the first innings with a brilliant 94 in the second. Kooweerup (259) has broken a two-game losing streak in impressive style, taking 20 wickets on day two to roll Upper Beaconsfield (131 and 122) outright at Kooweerup. Openers Jess Mathers (3/25 and 3/48) and John Bright (2/30 and 2/25) claimed 10 wickets between them as the back-to-back reigning premiers returned to form. Gun-Cardinia (8/202) recruits Ben Maroney (56) and Dwayne Doig (52) have joined skipper Neil Barfuss (44) in leading the Bulls to victory over Emerald (179) at Chandler Reserve. “Ben looked unreal on Saturday,”

Barfuss said of Maroney, whose figures this season haven’t yet matched his undoubted class. And finally, Pakenham’s (7/339cc) huge score from day one was always going to prove challenging for Merinda Park (179) at Donnelly Reserve. Dylan Cuthbertson (59) was the best of a wasteful Cobras’ line-up, with six batsmen reaching double figures but none kicking on to a match-winning score. Lions’ skipper Dom Paynter (3/8) backed up his 172 from week one with another standout performance while Chris Smith (2/31) chimed in with a couple early. This week: Pakenham (1) v Tooradin (2), Cardinia (3) v Merinda Park (4), Cranbourne Meadows (8) v Kooweerup (5), Emerald (7) v Upper Beaconsfield (6).

Speedsters’ overtaking run was great fun By RUSSELL COLVIN GARFIELD’S Ryan Taylor and Jam Jerrup’s Zack Johnson both claimed the 2015 Victorian Road Race Championships in their respected classes at Broadford State Motorcycle Sports Complex on the weekend. Taylor, 28, was simply unstoppable in the supersport category when he showed the field a master class display throughout the whole weekend. He got the ball rolling by claiming pole position by a mere .007sec with a lap time of 58.434sec. The only real drama Taylor had throughout the weekend was in race one on Saturday when he missed the sighting lap, which meant he had to start from the rear of field for the opening 10-lap race. However, even that was not enough to stop him. He stormed his way from 16th position to fourth place on the first lap, and by the fourth lap he was up to second, before taking command of the race on lap five. Taylor went on to win by .929sec and regarded the race as the best fun he has had in a while, due to the number of other riders he had to

pass to get up to the lead so quickly. Race two was a dominant display as he won by a comfy 2.891sec and set his fastest lap of the race on lap two with a 57.750sec, just .080sec off the lap record that he currently holds. The final race of the day was about getting out in front early, which he did, cruising to a 1.473sec victory. This handed Taylor his fourth straight Victorian supersport championship, which no other rider has done before. “It’s a nice way to end the year by winning another championship,” Taylor said. “All weekend the RTR by Moto Obsession Yamaha R6 was working great and I can’t fault the Pirelli tyres, as once again they proved to be the best tyres to be on.” For Johnson, last weekend saw him wrapping up his first ever road racing championship by scoring a 2-1-1 result aboard the Ninja 300 machine. Just like Taylor, he too scored pole position with a time of 1min06.054. The opening race on Saturday saw Johnson having a few moments

Ryan Taylor Racing’s (RTR) championship winning team, from left, Chris Edmunds, Ryan Taylor, Zach Johnson and Peter Taylor. which almost saw him coming off. However, he rode smart and settled for second place. Race two saw the young 15-yearold winning by .805 seconds, which handed him an eight point championship lead heading into the final race. Race three was a four way battle for the lead until the last few laps when it became a two horse race to the chequered flag. On the last lap the lead rider went a tad wide at turn 10, allowing Johnson to nip up the inside and take the

win by a slender .299sec. “I thought I may as well give it a bit more stick and try and get up the inside and it worked it out well,” Johnson said after race three. “After finishing second in last year’s championship, it feels great to win the title,” he said. “It’s a great way to repay back the team for taking me on this year and giving me a go. “This weekend has made me hungry to do well in next year’s ?ASBK? and VRRC series, so I’m looking forward to 2016!”??

�� Reviews and news…

Big bold and intimidating By ALISTAIR KENNEDY BACK in the 1960s and ‘70s the competition in the Australian family car market was dominated by the so-called Big Three. Always given in the order ‘Holden, Falcon and Valiant’, the big six-cylinder and V8 cars dominated the local market and put on a right royal battle. Chrysler Valiant fell by the wayside in 1980 when the company was taken over by Mitsubishi, leaving the field to the other two. Now the position has been reversed with the imminent demise of the Falcon and Commodore leaving a big Chrysler by itself in the affordable large sedan segment. That car is the Chrysler 300C which has been on sale here 2005 and although it’s never been a big seller, everything else about it is big and it is certainly one of the most recognisable cars on the road. The generation-two model, launched in 2012, was given a mid-life upgrade in 2015 with changes including a new honeycomb infill with the Chrysler wing badge in the centre, rather than at the top of the grille. There are also new LED foglamps and daytime running lights. In profile the characteristic broad shoulders and high beltline remain but with four new wheel designs in either 18 or 20-inch. Changes to the rear include a new fascia design and LED taillights. Previously available with either sedan or

wagon bodies and with a diesel engine, the latest 300 range only comes with a sedan body and petrol engines. The four variants are 300C, 300C Luxury, 300 SRT Core and 300 SRT. As the name suggests, the 300 SRT (for Sports & Racing Technology) is the high performance version of the car and we’ve just spent a thoroughly enjoyable week behind its wheel. While the Chrysler 300C is the entry-level model at $49,000 and the 300C Luxury ($54,000) the higherspecced one, the SRT variants work the other way around with the 300 SRT ($69,000) being the standard model and the appropriately-named 300 SRT Core cutting back on features but also on price ($59,000). For that $10,000 saving in the price Core buyers miss out on adjustable suspension; satellite navigation; leather trim; seat ventilation; cooled drink holders; cargo floor mat and net; and Harman Kardon audio. More importantly the SRT gets a number of extra safety features including Blind-spot Monitoring; Lane Departure Warning; Lane Keep Assist; and Forward Collision Warning. These are also standard in the 300C Luxury. Both models have 20-inch alloy wheels, machine-faced in the Core and forged in the SRT, as well as fourpiston Brembo brakes (black on the Core and red on the SRT). Chrysler 300 has good legroom, headroom and shoulder space for four adults.

The Chrysler 300 SRT sets the bar for Australian muscle cars. There's sufficient width in the centre of the rear seat for another person, though the transmission tunnel steals a fair bit of comfort from that position. The boot can take up to 462 litres and has a nicely regular shape so can carry bulky items with ease. However, there's a long stretch under the back window to reach the far end of the boot. The rear-seat backrest can be folded down, in a 60/40 split, to permit long loads to be carried. Chrysler’s UConnect infotainment system is centred around an 8.4-inch touchscreen colour monitor located in the centre of the dashboard. The 300C is powered by a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 petrol engine that generates 210 kW of power and 340 Nm of torque at 4300 rpm. Under the bonnet of the 300 SRT is a huge 6.4-litre V8 Hemi with 350 kW and 637 Nm. Both engines are now mated with a ZF TorqueFlite eightspeed automatic, especially welcome in the SRTs which had previously used

MODEL RANGE 300C 3.6-litre four-door sedan: $49,000 (automatic) 300C Luxury 3.6-litre four-door sedan: $54,000 (automatic) 300 SRT Core 6.4-litre four-door sedan: $59,000 (automatic) 300 SRT 6.4-litre four-door sedan: $69,000 (automatic)

an ageing five-speed gearbox. The gear selector is a circular dial on the central console. Die-cast paddle shifters are standard on both SRT models. It will come as no surprise that fuel consumption is high. Listed at 13.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle, but a very reasonable 8.6 L/100 km on the highway, we averaged just over 15 during our weeklong test. What you hear is what you’re about to get when you press the engine start button on the Chrysler 300 SRT. With a little help from a flap on the dual stage exhaust the car emits that big, bold burble that sends muscle car enthusiasts’ hearts racing. Driver-calibrated launch control

allows the driver (preferably an advanced one - this is not recommended for the inexperienced) to set their preferred launch revs and, although Chrysler doesn’t quote a figure, a subfive second sprint to 100 km/h is likely. Three drive modes, Street, Sport and Track are available which adjust the steering, stability and traction control, suspension, throttle and transmission settings. They are accessible through the UConnect system’s touchscreen. The new eight-speed gearbox is a marked improvement on the previous five-speed almost always in the right gear at the right time and with very fast shifts. Around town it does take some time to get used to the sheer size of these big Chryslers. It’s a long way from the driver’s seat to the front of the car and you’re looking over a very long bonnet so the front and rear sensors and reversing camera really do earn their keep. On the motorway the 300 SRT is in its element. It provides a smooth, quiet and relaxed ride. Into the hinterland road grip is high, although this is a big heavy car so you don’t get the same cornering enjoyment as you do from smaller, more agile cars. For a test drive contact Berwick Chrysler JeepDodge, 257 Princes Highway, Hallam. Phone 9554 0800.
