CRANBOURNE PACING CUP HONOUR ROLL

Terror To Love (4) wears down fellow New Zealander Christen Me to win a classic edition of the Group 1 Cranbourne Cup in 2014. 132297 Picture: STUART McCORMICK

Legends adorn cup history

By DAVID NAGEL SOME of the most revered names in the history of Trans-Tasman Harness Racing adorn the Cranbourne Pacing Cup - up for grabs once again at Cranbourne on Saturday 5 March, 2016.

From Ralph Ford’s first dual winner of the event back in 1969/70 - Bar Adios - through to legendary names like Paleface Adios, Koala King and Gammalite, the Cranbourne Pacing Cup has attracted metropolitan class champions through its country doors since its inception in 1965.

Victoria Cup winners like Mas-

ter Musician (1992), Golden Reign (1994 and 1997), Robin Hood (2005), Bettors Strike (2009) and Mr Feelgood (2011) have all saluted, while Hunter Cup winners like Bon Adios (1966), Mister DG (2003) and Sting Lika Bee (2007) are also engraved on the now Group 1 honour roll.

And the last summer-edition of the cup - ran in December 2014 may be the best run yet.

On that occasion it was champion New Zealander Terror To Love who prevailed after a stirring struggle with compatriot Christen Me. The two Kiwi superstars drew away from the field in the final lap,

going eye to eye to produce a stunning finish that will long live in the memories of those in attendance.

A three-time New Zealand Cup winner, Terror To Love ($3.10) outstayed the Miracle Mile and Hunter Cup winner to win by a head, with Flaming Flutter 20-metres back in third place.

Terror To Love took his stake earnings to a tick over $2.3million with the win.

This year’s race will see the local contingent look to break a recent stranglehold by the Kiwis, with Terror To Love joining 2013 winner The Gold Ace and 2012 winner Terrorway as the most recent winners

of the Group 1 classic.

Another great New Zealander, ImThemightyquinn, won the 2010 Cranbourne Cup on his way to the 2011, 12 and 13 Interdominion titles.

This year’s $100,000 Decron Cranbourne Pacing Cup won’t be the only Group 1 on the program, with the $50,000 Knight Pistol Open set to get hearts racing.

The card also includes the Group 3 $30,610 Caduceus Club Cup 3YO, along with a number of other races sure to feature local trainers vying for some home town glory.

Your friends will be GREEN with envy....

Simon Chambers at the Blind Bight foreshore, practising before his big expedition. 150230 Pictures: STEWART CHAMBERS

Winds of change

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH IT WILL be a picture. One wind surfer, dozens of yachts and a record breaking quest for self-empowerment.

Avid wind surfer Simon Chambers is a 40-year-old man from Blind Bight, a CFA volunteer of 18 years and a husband battling depression.

But his desire to take on the Warn-

eet Motor Yacht Club’s Around French Island Race (WAFIR) on a surf board and dependent on the wind only is one that has never been done before.

And it’s something that’s been bugging him for more than 10 years.

“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, so I’m going to do it,” Mr Chambers said, despite doctors’ warnings.

“Three years ago I was in hospital with blood clots in my heart and lung, doctors told me that I wouldn’t be able to wind surf again because I am on blood thinners, I took the news very badly.”

Doctors were concerned for his recovery if he was to have an accident on the water and those words spiralled Mr Chambers into a deep depression.

“It took me about six months to try and deal with the news and with depression you have good and bad days,” Mr Chambers said.

“But this expedition is my chance of saying listen, this has been my life for 28 years and I’m not going to change.

Wind surfing is an outlet for me, I love being out on the water and it’s a way of taking control of my life.

“It’s about that feeling of freedom, of knowing I can do what I want to do, rather than being told I can’t.”

It will be his longest expedition to date, and Mr Chambers will leave from the Warneet Yacht Club at 8am on Saturday 20 February along with the yachtsmen who are also taking on the eight-hour trip. continued on page 3

Bond for ‘selfless’ drinker

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS A MAN who breached an intervention order by drinking wine in his ex-partner’s Cranbourne East home has debated his “alcoholism” with a magistrate.

The accused told Dandenong Magistrates’ Court that he “helped” his partner by sharing three bottles of wine that she brought home on 7 February.

The man told the court on 15 February that he was concerned about his “alcoholic” partner who had been caring for their six-month-old baby.

“She could drink the three bottles herself. I stupidly thought I could help her like that.”

Magistrate Gerard Bryant told the man

he must be in “communications or marketing, or a politician to have an argument like that”.

“So you’re acting in a selfless capacity? You don’t want her to drink all three so you thought you’d assist her.”

After the couple downed the wine, they argued over a fan keeping the man awake in bed that night, the court heard.

The partner then called police who noted the man smelt of alcohol.

The man told the court that he was not an alcoholic though he attended alcohol counselling and AA meetings.

“What’s AA stand for?” Mr Bryant asked the accused.

“If you don’t identify yourself as

an alcoholic why do you go Alcoholics Anonymous?”

The man said: “I get a lot of information from people... I want to abstain from drinking alcohol.”

Six days before the incident, the man had been ordered by the court not to go within 200 metres of the property if he was alcohol-affected.

Mr Bryant noted that usually meant the offender’s drinking was associated with violence.

The accused wore a neck brace, which he told the court was due to a drunken car accident on private property.

He had “skolled” a bottle of Southern Comfort bourbon after a family argu-

ment, he told the court.

“Yes it’s extremely excessive. I felt I had my heart ripped out and jumped on.”

The man argued that his drinking was “not that bad” according to his GP. Mr Bryant urged the man to be “strong” for his partner.

“If you had a DeLorean (time-travelling car) and could go back in time, what would you do differently?”

“I’d go back a bit further than that incident,” the accused replied.

The man was placed on a 12-month good-behaviour bond, with orders to complete a positive lifestyle course and an alcohol-counselling regime, as well as donate $500 to a women’s shelter.

Instrument grants are like music to their ears

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH TWO hundred Victorian schools have been invited to apply for $5000 State Government grants to buy musical instruments.

The announcement was made at River Gum Primary School (RGPS) in Hampton Park on Monday 15 February in front of ambitious Hampton Park Secondary College and RGPS band students.

Minister for Education James Merlino announced stage one of the “important” program alongside young rockers.

He even took up the drums himself, saying it’s been about 27 years since he’s been behind a drum kit.

Mr Merlino was greeted

by RGPS choir and rock band which sang Aussie classics as he was taken around the school music facilities.

The $2 million Music in Schools roll out includes $1.6 million in professional training for teachers and $400,000 in grants over two stages for schools to buy instruments.

There is also another $200,000 to put university trainee teachers through a musical education program before they start working in schools.

Mr Merlino spoke to teachers and students about the necessity of the roll-out saying research has shown that exposure to music education results in better grades, better results and better attendance.

“These grants for musical equipment will help schools that need it most,” he said.

“Music brings joy and happiness and it actually helps brain development.”

RGPS music teacher Rob Sharp has been teaching at the

Education Minister James Merlino taking on Vhanna's Grade 4 science work. 150300 school for three years and said music is a vital component of a child’s education.

“It’s amazing, we’ve had students with behavioural issues and learning disabilities and watching them grow through music is really beautiful,” Mr Sharp said.

“It’s that appreciation for music and that ability to think abstract, use their hearing, work in a team and band and problem solve.”

Mr Sharp shared his wish list with Mr Merlino which included

an electric drum set and maybe some saxophones.

He said he has watched music in schools die and hoped new instruments will attract more students.

“Even when I was at high school music died down after year seven.

“I would have been one of five students who did VCE music.

“This program will be incredibly important for the arts in general,” Mr Sharp said.

WHERE

From page 1 Mr Chambers is currently liaising with his gym instructor on what food to pack in his specialty board and has been working hard in preparation for the mighty sail.

“The journey will cover around 100 plus kilometres, the longest I’ve ever done in one stint has been 70 kilometres so it will be a challenge on both my fitness and windsurfing abilities,” he said.

Mr Chambers cannot be officially entered in the race because his choice of transportation doesn’t fall under the correct guidelines.

“They’re happy to monitor my progress and I’ll feel safer knowing I have all the yachts around me - and so will my wife!” he said.

But Mr Chambers isn’t making the ride all about him, instead he is using his quest to help raise awareness for the CFA, which is always on the lookout for volunteers.

“Our local CFA brigades face the challenge of recruiting new volunteers to ensure a strong future and I thought I may be able to help spread the word,” he said.

Mr Chambers has added stickers to his sail to “get the word out”.

“I have been a CFA volunteer for 18 years and there are so many brigades struggling with numbers,” he said.

“I am hoping to use this unique adventure to bring both my long-time passions together.”

Since his medical setback, Mr Chambers has conquered some of his own sporting personal bests.

“They said I shouldn’t surf, but you can’t keep a man down,” he said, laughing.

“Since they told me that, I’ve gone faster than I’ve ever gone and now I’m looking at going further than I’ve gone.”

Those who have been inspired by Simon Chambers’s efforts and who would like to become a CFA volunteer can get more information at www. cfa.vic.gov.au/volunteercareers.

“We make it all fresh here, and we’ve implemented focaccias, toasted sandwhiches and snack packs which include carrots, celery, capsicum, cheese and kabana, low-fat dip and rice crackers,” Ms Lay said.

“And people have responded really well, they still come up asking for the drinks we’ve removed, but I explain the changes and more than 90 per cent of people commend us.”

However Casey’s tastebuds

Ms Lay said the sugar and carbohydrate free, Pepsi Max, is still a popular choice.

“Over the past four weeks I’ve noticed Pepsi Max and flavoured water sales have increased as a result of the roll out.”

The soft drink vending machine has also been turfed and combo packs now include water in place of soft drinks.

and we get a lot of parents who treat their kids with a lolly after a game, it’s a part of the fun and growing up and we don’t want to take that away from people,” he said.

“And people particularly when they are active or have rushed here for a 50- minute game after work need a quick sugar or carbohydrate fix to get their energy up, so we will still stock those items.

“We’ll just have a lot less of them than we do now and they will make up the 10 per cent red zone.”

Mr Jackson said patrons

could feel confident knowing that the juices and energy drinks available at YMCA centres had been chosen by accredited YMCA nutrition experts.

And once expanded, the centre will house two cafes with commercial kitchens, as well as an extra 10 netball and basketball courts.

“It’s about changing food habits and with 60 per cent of our patron base children, we have the perfect audience to educate and help combat the obesity epidemic,” he said.

A TOORADIN man and a Narre Warren South man are among six people who have been arrested after a police chase across the state.

The pursuit spanning hundreds of kilometres involved several police vehicles, the police Air Wing and Dog Squad.

It ended in Lang Lang on Friday 12 February about 1pm where a Lang Lang woman and men from Kooweerup, Warragul, Tooradin, Narre Warren South and Geelong were caught.

They are facing a number of charges including armed robbery, aggravated burglary and drug trafficking.

The high-speed chase across regional Victoria uncovered stolen firearms including a revolver and shotgun, a large stash of methamphetamines, thousands of dollars in cash, stolen property and cars.

Some of the stolen loot has been traced back to crimes committed across Victoria, including the theft of a BMW stolen in Ballarat late last year and allegedly used in an armed robbery.

The chase began in Albury, 325 kilometres north of Melbourne, about 10.30am that morning following an alleged petrol drive-off.

THEY’VE swapped Coke for coconut water in a bid to cut down on sugar guzzling patrons, but Pepsi Max continues to fly off the shelves.

Casey Indoor Leisure Centre is part of YMCA’s healthy choices roll out across Victoria, which will see all YMCA sport centres enact the ‘traffic light system’ and reduce high sugar and fatty foods to make up just 10 per cent of their total offerings.

Casey centre manager Tony Jackson said the green (healthy), amber and red (some sugar content) traffic light system encapsulates the overall healthy scheme, which started in Cranbourne last December.

“We slowly started winding down on orders and educating people that come January 2016, there will be no sugary drinks for sale,” Mr Jackson said last year.

Piloted in Cardinia, the YMCA’s low-sugar concept took off in October 2014, and will be fully rolled out in Cranbourne by December 2017, in time for the opening of the expanded centre.

Cafe co-ordinator Kat Lay said left over bottles of Coke, Sunkist, Raspberry and Creamy Soda got thrown out to make room for copious amounts of water and low-sugar juices.

“We swapped our slushy ingredients for an all-natural fruit juice with no preservatives, and we push our fruit salads, wraps and rice paper rolls,” she said.

“Speaking to the child about how they are feeling and talking through what they can do when they start to feel scared will help.”

Ms Waring said some warning signs to look out for include a change in sleeping and eating habits.

“Often children just want reassurance from an adult but

some don’t want to express their worries in fear of upsetting their parents, I see that a lot,” she said.

“If parents want some comfort, they can visit us at CISS for a free counselling session and often the child will open up without mum or dad present.”

Ms Waring said for some children the bomb hoaxes will trigger other emotions and feelings they’ve suppressed.

State to pay emergency calls cost

FREE VOCAL WORKSHOP

THE State Government will cover the cost for state schools to send mass text alerts in case of emergencies, after a spate of bomb threats across the nation in recent weeks.

Education Minister James Merlino confirmed on Friday the government would pay for sending SMS alerts to parents during emergency situations, including bushfires, in the wake of a series of threatening calls which have seen a number of schools in Casey and Cardinia evacuated.

The SMS service was installed at all schools last year but some hadn’t activated the service.

“The latest hoaxes have been a timely reminder about

Insta

the importance of schools quickly notifying their parent communities, after first ensuring the safety of students and staff," Mr Merlino said.

On Thursday 11 February another Pakenham school - Pakenham Springs Primary School, on Livingstone Boulevard - was evacuated due to a bomb threat call.

It comes as a number of Victorian schools have been evacuated for the same reason in the last fortnight, including St Patrick’s Primary School in Pakenham, Kooweerup Primary School, Berwick Chase Primary and Berwick Lodge.

Police are yet to lay charges against those responsible for the calls, many of which were automated, received by various Melbourne schools.

However, Nossal High School in Berwick has been linked to the hoax bomb threat made against Berwick Lodge Primary School on Friday 29 January. Hackers are believed responsible for that incident.

Police are continuing to investigate.

Threatening calls have also been made to schools in New South Wales and Queensland, while it’s understood a number of other countries, including the UK and France, received similar threatening phone calls.

Anyone with further information regarding the hoax calls is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com. au.

THERE have been five confirmed bomb threats that have terrorised Casey schools this month, and local counsellor Natalie Waring said the effects on children as young as five, can be far reaching, and often invisible.

Youth case worker at Cranbourne Information and Support Service (CISS), Ms Waring said as a result of the panicky and swift evacuations of thousands of primary school students, they were likely to have anxiety and a fear of going to school.

“It’s all the stress and secrecy of the parents, teachers and police officers that the children pick up on and news headlines that they can’t avoid,” Ms Waring said.

“Children may experience panic attacks, they might lie to get out of going to school, play up at school as a coping mechanism and may experience trouble sleeping.”

Berwick Lodge and Berwick Chase was one of the first confirmed primary schools to experience the threatening phone calls that turned out to be hoaxes on Friday 29 January.

And on Thursday 11 February, the stress continued at Cranbourne’s Rangebank Primary School.

“It’s expected that children

IT IS disappointing but not unexpected to see Mr Flannery again making unfounded criticisms of council instead of working positively for the betterment of his fellow residents (Lame Ducks, News, 10 February 2015).

To this point, I have never responded to any of Mr Flannery’s previous and almost weekly tirades against me personally, or against the council. I have never met nor spoken to this man!

In this instance, however, Mr Flannery’s lies and distortions of the truth for his own political gains are so grievous, a response is warranted to expose the circus which he continuously creates.

Mr Flannery has ignored the fact that it was only through the representation done by council, and in particular Cr Geoff Ablett, that the State Government has now gazetted changes to the Planning Scheme which now give councils power to determine planning applications for rooming houses.

There are further reforms required and council is continuing to work positively with the State Government in this regard.

If Mr Flannery was genuine in his concern for the Brookland Greens residents he would write to his local state member of parliament to seek the implementation of these additional reforms instead of engaging in his usual unfair whinge fest against the City of Casey.

Mr Flannery then makes the ridiculous allegation that council distanced itself from the Stevensons Road closed landfill matter. What utter rubbish!

Despite the Victorian Ombudsman concluding that the majority cause was state government agencies, the City of Casey stepped in and showed leadership, implementing instant remedial works and protecting our residents.

Further, the City of Casey, through its very strong representation and advocacy on behalf of residents, was able to secure $44 million in compensation from two state governments of different political persuasions (Labor and Liberal), thereby saving our residents from the risk of massive rate rises to pay for the crisis.

In terms of council’s financial management, our rate rises in Casey, despite huge demands on services and infrastructure due to our growth, have been some of the lowest per capita in Victoria.

This current financial year, despite investing over $90 million on critical infrastructure (roads, parks, sporting facilities) and $248 million on essential services (school crossing supervision, maternal health, meals on wheels), our average residential rates and charges increase rate rise was 3.87 per cent, one of the lowest in Victoria!

Mr Flannery, the City of Casey has a very bright future. Our residents take great pride in their city. Your negativity is not only agonisingly juvenile and dishonest, but portrays you as the “boy who cried wolf” too often.

Residents tell me frequently that what you are speaks so loudly, they cannot hear what you say.

Cr Sam Aziz, Mayor City of Casey.

A WANDERING wombat caused confusion at Tooradin foreshore recently.

It all started when a man came rushing into a Tooradin cafe, demanding the address of the local cop shop.

When asked what on earth had happened to him, the man replied “none of your business”.

But the story got out and here’s how it goes.

The man was sitting on the Tooradin foreshore toilet when he heard something

scratching around.

Fearing it was a peeping Tom park ranger, the man rushed to report the incident to police.

However the innocent park ranger stepped up to carry out his own investigation and after some digging and sniffing around he discovered that the noise wasn’t someone sneaking a peek but was in fact a wombat!

He, the wombat, had got stuck between the pipes! But don’t fret, he’s been rescued and is now safe and sound.

AFTER Star News got behind Casey Neighbourhood Watch (NW) the relentless crime prevention institution will live to see another day!

Casey NW secretary of 15 years Jennifer Baird said she has had two phone calls since the article on the Neighbourhood Watch’s struggling member numbers went to print.

“We’re very happy with the response,” Jennifer said.

All up NW has had four people contact it about taking up roles.

“At our last meeting we had two new people attend who said they heard about it through Facebook and word of mouth.

“It was voted that we keep going, even if it does in a smaller form, and in our March AGM it will be reviewed.”

But from Jen’s positive attitude it seems the consensus remains strong on keeping the voluntary and watchful eyes out on our streets!

Well done to everyone involved!

STIRLING MEDICAL CENTRE Casey schools are dealing with self-harming students on a weekly basis.

Picture: Anna Gutermuth, flickr via Creative Commons need help,” she said.

“I think it is a sad way of going about it but by putting it on social media they might hope that someone might come up and say, hey, can I help you?”

Ms Waring said she’s witnessed an increase in self-harming over the past 18 months.

However she said there isn’t a particular type of person who is involved.

“Self-harming is usually noticed in students ranging from year seven to 10 and usually they are dealing with bullying, a complex home life or anxiety and it’s a way of letting their pain out,” she said.

“Especially if they are highly anxious they feel if they cut themselves it releases some of the pain they feel, even though they are feeling the physical pain.”

But Ms Waring said parents should not automatically think that suicidal behaviour will follow.

“Self-harming doesn’t necessarily mean that person is suicidal - a lot of parents think if they are self- harming it’s going to lead to suicide, but it’s not,” she said.

The BMX facility already has a total budget of $2,873,000, with a successful October grant application from the State Government's Interface Growth Fund, which required construction to be progressing by 1 April.

So far site investigation and detailed design is currently underway for the much-needed service.

Casey councillor Geoff Ablett said the BMX facility wouldn't just benefit cyclists.

“Human powered vehicles (HPV) have grown in popularity and with outdoor lighting it means the track can service HPV activities at night,” Cr Ablett said.

“BMXs are the leading bike sales in Casey and a facility like this is supporting the demand.”

TEENAGERS are using social media as a platform to post images and messages about selfharming and school counsellors are dealing with the destructive behaviour at alarming rates.

One Casey youth counsellor has said that the behaviour is a cry for help and a way of releasing psychological pain through physical harm.

It is a problem that Casey schools are dealing with on a weekly basis.

“Suicide seems to be on the rise but I see a lot more selfharming,” Cranbourne Information and Support Service (CISS) youth worker Natalie Waring said.

“It’s not an epidemic but it is on the rise. Kids can Google anything these days.”

Some self-harming methods Ms Waring is aware of include cutting using a Stanley knife or blades from a pencil sharpener.

Ms Waring, who also works at a Casey secondary college, said some teens turn to cutting their wrists, arms, stomach or upper thighs as a coping mechanism.

They then hide the bloody incisions by wearing heavy coats and long sleeve shirts, even in warm weather.

“I find a lot of girls do it in groups and post it on social media as a way of getting it out there.

“But both sexes do it and they see how many ‘likes’ they get,” she said.

Ms Waring said the behaviour was a way of getting attention for a variety of problems.

“People describe it as attention seeking but attention is help, it’s their way of saying I

Crash hot spot survey fatalities - thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruining peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.â&#x20AC;?

Acting Metro South East Regional director Vince Punaro said VicRoads recognised the safety issues associated with the intersection were partly due to careless driving.

"This is being addressed through traffic infringement notices,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, we are keen to obtain community feedback to identify any other factors that may contribute to red light running and other unsafe behaviour at this intersection.â&#x20AC;?

Those members of the community who are familiar with this intersection are encouraged to complete the survey, which closes on 21 February, and which can be found at www.vicroads. vic.gov.au

Hoons captured doing burnouts

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH RECKLESS hoons and mini bikers in Cranbourne have been filmed carelessly damaging private property.

A passer-by filmed the incident which occurred on Camms Road, Cranbourne where a mini bike driver revved the bike for a lengthy amount of time, resulting in stone damage to a nearby car.

Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon said hoons and mini bike activity in Cranbourne was â&#x20AC;&#x153;consistent and needs to be addressed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The resident who filmed the incident has sent the footage to police,â&#x20AC;? Cr Stapledon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he has reported a significant amount of anti-social and destructive behaviour by hoons and mini bike riders.â&#x20AC;?

Cr Stapledon said hooning was a concern in Casey but the mini bike activity on Camms Road â&#x20AC;&#x153;is most problematicâ&#x20AC;?.

She has called for additional information on hoon reporting be added to the City of Casey website.

Police urge anyone who sees such behaviour to contact the nearest police station and film the scene if safe to do so.

A VICROADS survey focusing on a horror Lynbrook intersection where two children were tragically killed in 2008 is now open.

In the five years from 2010 to 2015 there have been seven crashes resulting in deaths at the intersection of Lynbrook Boulevard and the South Gippsland Highway, according to VicRoads, while the crash in 2008 claimed the life of two boys, aged six and nine, after a truck ran a red light.

The new survey was discussed in a report at Casey Council on Tuesday 16 February, where councillors carried a motion to promote the VicRoads campaign on the council website.

In June 2013, VicRoads installed new warning signs at the site which state â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;traffic signals

aheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road body and Casey Council are eager to install extra safety measures, with flashing lights suggested by Cr Wayne Smith this week.

It was about seven years ago when fellow Councillor Amanda Stapledon was involved in a car crash at the same intersection.

She alleged she was stopped at the red light when another car drove up the back of hers.

Cr Stapledon said she was thankful no-one was killed in the incident, but the crash had left her with lingering back pain all these years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got that first-hand experience of what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be at that location,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think about the safety there and when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking car accidents that leave you with back pain thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing, but when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about

FREE CONSULTATION FOR BRACES

Residents have back yard win

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH DESPITE some neighbourly opposition, the Save Cranbourne West Residents Action Group (SCWRAG) has achieved what it set out to and saved the land on its doorstep from becoming an industrial estate.

The City of Casey was alerted by the Minister for Planning Richard Wynne on Monday 18 January that the land at the corner of Westernport Highway and Hall Road and will be rezoned for housing.

However the changes were decided in December last year after a planning meeting was held with the City of Casey in July.

At the centre of the yearlong fight, rezoning advocate, councillor Gary Rowe said: “Council didn’t receive notification until the middle of January.

“At the moment Hon Richard Wynne has agreed to support the rezoning of all the land in the southern part of the area and for council to develop a

proposal for the rest of the area and to submit that to them within 40 days,” Cr Rowe said.

“We’ve asked for an extension, given we only received notice on 18 January.

“It is a win but we still have a little way to go.”

Cr Rowe said as part of the rezoning result, Hall Road will become the responsibility of VicRoads.

“Hall Road is going to become a major arterial road which will improve traffic flow for everybody,” he said.

Pitch in to help players

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

The Dasmesh Sports Club soccer team needs a place to call home.

CASEY’S Dasmesh Sports Club (DSC) soccer team needs a place to train and has been searching the south-east for the past two years.

The multicultural not for profit club opened with just 15 keen soccer players three years ago and has expanded to include netball, volleyball, badminton, wrestling and cricket.

Its teams play national, local and interstate tournaments with the Australian Sikh Games.

But club manager Kulwant Singh said his soccer team currently trains at three different grounds

The Australian Government is committed to making this country a centre of innovation—where we turn ideas into successful products and services.

This will generate a new era of jobs and prosperity for all.

The National Innovation & Science Agenda includes initiatives that encourage ideas and create opportunities, including: • making it easier for innovative businesses to find investors and access funding • bringing research and business together to make ideas work • helping prepare ideas for market with grants and specialist advice • making it easier for people to take a risk and give their ideas a go • ensuring young Australians have the skills they need in technology, maths and science for the jobs of tomorrow.

each week and has no permanent arrangements.

“Everyone has a place to train and play except our soccer team,” he said.

“We hire a ground in Springvale and alternate between another pitch in Springvale and Cranbourne but it becomes expensive.”

Mr Singh said his team will often get pushed out to make way for the ground’s home team and is constantly on the lookout for its next pitch to play on.

“Recently we have grown a lot, we have nearly 100 people in DSC and 25 soccer players,” he said.

Mr Singh is forced to operate the club out of his own home in Lynbrook and said he hopes to find more than just a place to train in the next few years.

“We have many families that want to hold fundraising barbecues for the club and cultural events, we sometimes have them at members’ homes or the Lynbrook Park so it would be nice to have rooms,” he said.

The soccer team, made up of 18 to 30-yearolds, trains up to four times a week in the lead up to tournaments but, unfortunately, hasn’t won one yet.

Mr Singh said that would surely change if the team had a solid base to train at and a weekly roster.

With members from Lynbrook, Cranbourne and Narre Warren, Mr Singh said the club would be happy with a soccer pitch situated anywhere from Springvale to Casey.

Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon said one of the reasons the council felt the need to set up the Casey Association Football Reference Advisory Committee (CAFRAC) is because of instances like these.

“The whole purpose of CAFRAC was formed to meet the needs of the soccer community because it’s vastly growing,” Cr Stapledon said.

“I’ve linked DSC with appropriate council officers to ensure they find a place for them.

“But it comes down to soccer usage and the sport is in such demand and clubs have a lot of teams - we are looking for opportunities to fit them in around other clubs.”

Anyone who is aware of a permanent training residency for DSC can contact Kulwant Singh through the club’s Facebook page.

The students also got to perfect their cooking skills on the day.

Pancakes to go long way

1216137-CB7-16

THEY flipped, whipped and tossed as many pancakes as possible to kick-start a new year of fundraising.

St Peter’s College students have banded together with the aim of raising $6000 over six weeks in support of Caritas Australia.

As part of the school's annual project compassion appeal, the funds raised will be spent helping people help themselves in Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, India, Laos, Malawi and some Australian towns in need.

Gold coins were donated for a pancake morning tea on National Pancake Day on Tuesday 8 March, and the fund-raising program will finish at the end of term one.

Fun filled for footy FOOTBALL fans flocked to Narre Warren this week.

Local residents were invited to a fun-filled footy clinic at Sweeney Reserve on Wednesday 10 February which was hosted by the Melbourne Football Club in conjunction with Casey Council and AFL Victoria.

The Melbourne players, including Women’s Captain Daisy Pearce, ran a range of activities for the kids as part of the aptly titled Festival of Footy.

“In recognition and celebration of council’s 30-year partnership with the Melbourne Football Club, the club delivers many great business, sport and community development activities across the municipality for the benefit of the local community,” Casey Mayor Sam Aziz said.

“The inaugural Casey Festival of Footy promises to be an afternoon of fun.”

ST John of God Berwick Hospital supporting Ovarian Cancer Awareness THIS February, St John of God Berwick Hospital is urging ladies to recognise the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

There is currently no early detection test, so it is vital that women know their family history and what signs to look out for.

It can be difficult to diagnose ovarian cancer because the symptoms are ones that many women will have from time to time, and they are often symptoms of less serious and more common health problems.

But we do know that ovarian cancer is NOT a silent disease.

Women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer report four types of symptoms most frequently: Abdominal or pelvic pain.

Increased abdominal size or persistent abdominal bloating.

Needing to urinate often or urgently.

Feeling full after eating a small amount.

If you have any of these symptoms, they are new for you and you have experienced them multiple times during a four-week period, go to your GP.

· · · · ·

DEMAND DRIVES GROWTH AREAS

BY ANDREW PERKINS THE resurgence in the housing market in Melbourne has contributed to the strength of Melbourne’s growth area market.

Drivers of demand such as low interest rates, consumer confidence and above average population growth have also played their part.

Melbourne is still one of the most affordable and livable cities in Australia attracting local buyers and interstate buyers due to its continuous growth in

median house price.

Clyde has been an attractive area for home buyers due to its close proximity to the Monash Freeway, which is due to undergo a $400 million upgrade, amenities and parks but, most of all, its potential for future growth.

The median land price in Clyde and Clyde North is $236,000 while in Casey it is about $241,000.

Casey has one of the most expensive median land prices in Melbourne and is one of the fastest growth corridors.

The Clyde Creek PSP approved in December 2014 and Clyde North PSP approved in November 2011 has sparked a large

number of new land estates in the area by highly regarded developers including Frasers Property, Moremac, Pask Goup, Villawood, Brown Property Group and National Pacific Property and has adding approximately 20,500 new homes to the Casey shire.

With a total of 12 active projects and more than 400 lots available at any time, buyers have ample choice for land to suit all budgets.

Land sizes range in size from 210 to 913 square metres and prices ranging from $120,000 to $370,000.

ANDREW PERKINS IS GENERAL MANAGER RESEARCH AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FOR RED23

WATER AND WORKS AT RAMLEGH SPRINGS SINCE its launch in November 2014, Ramlegh Springs has established itself as the premier new community within the Clyde North corridor and when visitors look around they will immediately understand why.

One of the notable features of Ramlegh Springs is its inspiring central wetlands which, when complete, will make a bold and natural statement leading into and through the estate.

With the first stages of the Ramlegh Springs community in the midst of construction it’s quite easy for visitors to picture how impressive this natural wetland area will be.

Located over nine hectares and connected to the community by a series of meandering walking tracks, boardwalks and nature trails, the Ramlegh Springs wetlands comprises a series of distinctive water bodies located in a tranquil natural environment.

Following the success of an earlier water front release, Ramlegh Springs will also soon be releasing 14 exclusive home sites, with frontages that overlook the estate’s sparkling waters.

“With lot sizes up to an impressive 780 square metres, this next waterfront release provides purchasers with an unrivalled opportunity for a Ramlegh

“

WITH LOT SIZES UP TO AN IMPRESSIVE 780 SQUARE METRES, THIS NEXT WATERFRONT RELEASE PROVIDES PURCHASERS WITH AN UNRIVALLED OPPORTUNITY... resident to build a luxury home that benefits from spectacular and valuable views of the Ramlegh Springs central Wetlands,” said estate manager Trudi Kerr.

Designed to provide the very best a new community can offer, stage construction and road works are now in full swing, the first steps towards delivering on an impressive master plan that also allows for an architect designed town centre, a local school, sizeable parks and gardens and community sports ground.

CLYDE’S SOMETHING SPECIAL IS ON THE RISE

BY TANIA PHILLIPS CLEAN and green with two large town centres and plenty of schools in the planning, Clyde is the up-and-coming area in the Casey/Cardinia region, according to a local expert.

Shane Howard, director of KaiKura Land Sales and a man who has been in the real estate industry around the Clyde region for many years, believes that in 10 years’ time the area will be “something special”.

“Clyde is what I’d call the new Berwick,” he said.

“Everyone would love to live in Berwick because of the prestige of the place but there no new land developments coming through there.”

And while Clyde has always been a premier area over the past 30 years it is about to really come into its own over the next decade with plenty of major developments planned.

“In Clyde there is 2800 hectares of residential land that the government has put aside for residential development – most in the Clyde Creek vicinity.”

He said the emphasis had been placed on providing green areas and walkway bridges across the creek.

Clyde Creek Precinct Structure Plans, which was approved in November 2014, sets out the planned development of a mixed use precinct which will ultimately

“

IT IS TRULY THE UP-AND-COMING AREA FOR THE REGION...

provide 7500 jobs and 13,900 new homes, as well as supporting services and infrastructure.

The precinct extends from Hardys Road in the north to Ballarto Road in the south, and from BerwickCranbourne Road/Clyde-Five Ways Road in the west to Pound Road and Bells Road extension in the east.

Casey Fields South Residential PSP sets out the development of a new residential community

HIGH TIME TO MOVE IN CIRCA 1886 continues to be one of the most sought after locations for buyers in the Berwick and Clyde North area.

The first stage has been built, stage seven is now selling and more than 100 families are already calling Circa home.

Built around the historic Circa homestead, the location offers elevation and many homes have views of the surrounding area.

Circa offers a one-hectare central park with play equipment, a sports area and plenty of open space.

The park is complemented by landscaped areas and reserves which are perfect for spending time with family and friends or just relaxing.

The location of Circa means that it is close to the important amenities including local schools, shopping, recreation and transport.

The local Eden Rise Village is a popular shopping spot with cafés and specialty shops as well as Coles and Aldi supermarkets.

Home to a diverse range of residents, the estate provides for different lifestyles and living requirements with a range of lot sizes, house and land packages, and townhouses on offer.

During 2016 Circa will also provide a limited release of exclusive park front architect

WE’VE HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE PARK, THE VIEWS AND HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING LIVING IN THE ESTATE... designed townhouses.

Dean Pask, the managing director of Pask Group and the developer behind Circa said: “I’ve been delighted with the response we’ve had from our residents – both in uptake and in their feedback about Circa.

“We’ve had a lot of positive comments about the park, the views and how much people are enjoying living in the estate.”

For more information contact sales agent Belinda Jackson on 9018 7234 or visit the Circa Sales Office at 211 Grices Road, Clyde North.

of about 1460 new homes and facilities and services to support a new community.

This plan applies to the area bound

by Clyde-Five Ways Road to the east, Casey Fields Boulevard to the west, and north from Ballarto Road to the southern Boundary of Casey Fields sports fields.

“It is truly the up-and-coming area for the region,” he said.

“And we have a front row seat with Clydevale.”

One of the latest developments, Clydevale is just 10 minutes from Berwick and 45 minutes from the CBD. Residents will live within walking distance of the new regional shopping centres and a new town centre and close to plenty of established amenities, including a host of excellent schools and tertiary education options and Casey Fields sporting facilities, all a short drive away or

easily accessible by rail and bus services.

Mr Howard said Casey council and the government had worked to put together something truly special.

Infrastructure to support this area is now going in including what Mr Howard described as the “biggest (waste water) pumping station” in the whole area.

“It should be ready for operation in 12 months and there were will be serious development,” he said.

Introducing your

School Principal When our students grow up they will be involved in work that is yet to be invented so it is vital that we develop a skills based approach to our curriculum. By this approach they have a wide range of transferable skills and abilities that they can utilise in any situation.

The world is getting smaller so our students will want to travel and experience other cultures. They will need to learn to be tolerant and resilient as we become more multi-cultural.

At Cranbourne West Primary School we live our Values of Learn, Trust, Respect and Sense of Humour through our Big Ideas of Local and Global Citizens, Learning Communities and Teaching and Learning. We are using Information Communication Technologies as the umbrella for all our learning so that our students can respond in a variety of ways.

1050666-44KG-12

Our current students will be well versed in all different types of social networking so they will require a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of how their actions can affect others.

Lyndhurst Secondary College is a dynamic and diverse learning community that seeks to empower students for learning and life.

The college has a strong focus on high expectations for all and our staff have been engaging in fantastic collegiate work to improve student learning outcomes. In 2015, we were incredibly proud to see our Year 12 students achieving highly, with 93% of students who applied for tertiary placements receiving a first round offer.

We focus on developing core skills of literacy and numeracy in our students. The provision of a dedicated reading space promotes the power of reading for improving literacy and Years 7-9 students receive individualised numeracy instruction through our Student Numeracy Individualised Program (SNIP), where students are placed in Mathematics classes according to their ability.

Year 7 students in 2017 will have the exciting opportunity to apply for a place in the select entry Academic Curriculum Enhancement (ACE) program; a learning pathway for highly achieving students to accelerate and enhance their learning.

These students will have access to unique learning opportunities and an early start VCE. At Lyndhurst Secondary College, we offer a wide range of cocurricula programs. Extensive student leadership opportunities are available, as are many performing arts and sporting opportunities. Our award-winning Multipride program has now become a model for supporting cultural harmony within other schools also.

School tours run every Wednesday at 11:00am (no appointment necessary) and I welcome you to come along and find out more about how we can support and encourage your child in his/her learning pathway.

Welcome to the 2016 School Year I extend a warm welcome to all in our community. This year our annual theme “Lord, to whom shall we go?” asks us to consider the many in our world, both local and global, who are unsure as to who they can turn to. Our beliefs call us to respond in both faith and action.

2015 Dux Of our 131 Year 12 students, 109 students were awarded their VCE, 22 successfully completed their VCal. Our Dux was College Captain Nathan Martens with an ATAR score of 97.25. Nathan will be commencing a Science Course at Melbourne University and I congratulate him on his wonderful achievement and the superb role model he has been for our students.

Overall our median study score improved through hard work and determination by our students and staff. This year we have again set explicit goals and we will work with our parents in providing an environment of both high support and high challenge to our Year 11 & 12 students.

New Facilities Development continues at both the East and West Campus in 2016 as we look to expand the facilities and curriculum offerings for our growing number of students.

“Take Courage, it is I...Be not afraid “ As a Catholic Community we aspire to lead in faith, guide with love and inspire through learning, to be the best they can be.

Kooweerup Secondary College is an inspiring and vibrant learning centre with a very strong community behind it.

I am always impressed with the fantastic support for the College from local groups in the community. Students and staff are constantly working together to improve the school in ways such as obtaining excellent results in the VCE. The College has grown in the past six years but we are stabilising to around 1000 students. During this growth we have maintained a strong sense of tradition and respect.

The College values a positive school climate and works hard to extend the students through the Performing Arts, Sport and Pastoral Care.

I strongly desire students to have a wide range of experiences during their schooling. The College has a strong transition program and works successfully with a number of local primary schools to ensure a smooth start to secondary college life for our new students.

There is also a SEAL (Select Entry Accelerated Learning) program running at the College. In 2015, our Year 7 to Year 9 students use iPads and our senior students use Netbooks or another device from home. We are also undergoing a significant building program, using funds from a $7 million dollar government grant, to implement not only new buildings but a new way of developing and delivering curriculum to our students.

At Kooweerup Secondary College, everyone is encouraged to achieve their personal best.

Dr Roderick Crouch What makes a great Christian school? For me, a great school is one in which children are given opportunity - the opportunity to learn, develop their faith, think, serve, grow and excel. To do this, they need three things - the desire to discover and develop their God given gifts and talents, the skills and courage to use them, and the support from school and home to have a go. This is Maranatha Christian School – a genuine Christian learning community with a long history of developing Christian leaders in our community.

Using a model of Christ centred education within a safe and honouring environment, Maranatha seeks to inspire children to think Christianly about the world, and so use their God given gifts and talents for the benefit of others. We do this by employing talented Christian teachers who are highly qualified and well regarded educators with the ability to build quality relationships with students.

In a values rich school environment we all understand that our major aim is to help create worthwhile citizens. Our students will develop a wide range of skills, beliefs and values that will enable them to thrive in a challenging world.

It has been my privilege to lead Chairo’s Pakenham campus since it began in 1998 and to see it develop into the vibrant community of over 600 students from Kinder to Year 12 that it is today.

Students are able to start as three-year-olds at our beautiful, well-resourced campus and transition smoothly from Kinder to Junior School (Grades Prep to 4), and then to Middle School (Years 5 to 8) and Senior School (Years 9 to 12).

Our goal is to give students every opportunity to learn, excel and grow in a nurturing and challenging environment. We provide a range of experiences and opportunities as part of a diverse and rigorous education. We value and affirm that each individual possesses God-given gifts and we desire that students will mature into strong Christian men and women who are active within the community.

Our mission is to provide excellence in Christ-centred education in partnership with families within a caring Christian community. An education at Chairo is founded upon a partnership between family and school, and we encourage parents to be active participants in the educational process.

For further information, visit us at www.chairo.vic. edu.au or contact our Enrolment Coordinator, Fiona Clacy (5942 5632 or fclacy@chairo.vic.edu.au). Fiona will be happy to answer your questions and arrange a personal tour of the campus.

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Chipping in for biofuels

By NARELLE COULTER REBECCA Yee and her business partner Dale Barnett are big fans of the humble fish and chip dinner.

The more people tuck into this takeaway staple the more source product the entrepreneurial duo has for their fledging biofuel business.

Rebecca and Daleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dandenong South business, Biofuel Innovations, turns waste oil into biodiesel, an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum diesel.

Rebecca, who has a doctorate in chemical engineering and Dale, who is also an engineer, met through friends.

They share a commitment to sustainability which has now grown into a business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all started because Dale was brewing his own beer and using biofuel to run his car,â&#x20AC;? explained Rebecca. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love gardening and grow a lot of my own food. We both shared a passion for sustainability and both thought we had the know how to make a contribution.â&#x20AC;?

In an Australian first, the pair have perfected a second generation technology method which uses a natural catalyst enzyme to convert used fish and chip fryer oil into biodiesel.

About 10 Greater Dandenong fish and chip shops store their waste oil for Rebecca and Dale to collect once a month.

They also collected the waste oil from the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lunar New Year celebrations in Springvale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about

Rebecca Yee is making a contribution to both business and the environment. 149723 Picture: GARY SISSONS

their waste,â&#x20AC;? said Rebecca. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fish and chip shop owners have a lot of things to manage and in many cases up to 20 litres of oil a week is just dumped,â&#x20AC;? Rebecca said.

Much of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste commercial cooking oil is sent overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We export our waste oil then import it back again, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what has been done to it. We essentially wash our hands of it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we want to get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want fuel that is Melbourne made,â&#x20AC;? Rebecca said.

Biodiesel can be used in any diesel

Casey Cardinia Businesss Breakfas Busin Break Breakfast

engine without modification as a replacement for fossil diesel.

Biodieselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lubricating qualities helps prolong an engineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and is much better than diesel for the environment with cleaner exhaust emissions and zero sulphur emissions.

Biofuel Innovations sells its fuel wholesale direct to trucking and transport companies for $1.10 per litre.

Biofuel Innovations also sells glycerine, a by-product of the refining process, which is used for soap, cosmetics and candles and as a hand degreaser.

At the moment, the company is producing 30,000 litres of biofuel a

month. Rebecca said that would be scaled up once the business moves to new permanent premises in England Street at the start of April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Demand is out there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of finding the right people interested in sustainable fuel. A lot of businesses we talk to are very supportive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people are particularly keen on the whole made in Melbourne aspect of our business, that our product is made by accredited engineers to accredited standards.â&#x20AC;?

Before Christmas Biofuel Innovations was awarded an $8000 City of

Greater Dandenong business grant.

Rebecca and Dale are using the money to fund their move to a larger factory and buy equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The grant has really helped us get a foot in the door with a lease.â&#x20AC;?

They are delighted to be part of the Dandenong South business community, which has welcomed them with plenty of expert help and friendly advice.

Through the business grant process, Rebecca met follow recipient Mona Lumani, owner of Arabian Bites. Biofuel Innovations is now collecting Arabian Bitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste oil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dale grew up in Endeavour Hills and I grew up in Wantirna so Dandenong South was perfect for our business,â&#x20AC;? Rebecca said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love that whatever we need, like a steel or glass fitter for instance, you can find them here in Dandenong. You draw up a plan, they make it and we go pick it up.â&#x20AC;?

And she and Dale love popping into central Dandenong for lunch, lured by the array of international fare on offer.

However, fish and chips are not high on their list of lunch favourites.

As Rebecca shows the Journal around the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temporary factory, she lifts the lid off a drum of newly arrived waste oil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Initially working with this oil did put us off eating fish and chips but you do get used to it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Kids flippin’ out for charity AS THE nation poured and flipped on National Pancake Day, students at Lynbrook Primary School also got on board raising more than $1000 for UnitingCare.

It was a first time event for the primary school in what is an annual fundraising day for people living in crisis.

The money raised will go toward helping those who are homelessness, suffering from domestic violence, addictions or financial hardship.

Grade four co-ordinator Rebekah Bogos said the school was proud to assist UnitingCare “and call on everyone in our community to enjoy a pancake (or two) and get behind this fantastic cause”.

Andrew, Heng, Harrish, Lily and Ashveen were excited to dig in.

The "real" Skyrail in Cairns!

‘Skyrail’ is taken, sorry

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH WHOEVER named the Victorian Governments $1.6 billion elevated rail line a ‘skyrail’ has been knocked down by Skyrail in Queensland.

According to the developer of the “real” Skyrail, Dr Ken Chapman, there is only one Skyrail and it’s not in Melbourne.

In a statement from Skyrail Rainforest Cableway released on Thursday 11 February Dr Chapman points to the big namesake mistake.

“Anyone who thinks the elevated railway proposal is a skyrail needs to get up to Cairns and experience the real thing, and I’m sure they won’t make that mistake again,” he said.

The statement revealed that Cairns held the rights to a skyrail long before Melbourne did, saying that “the name ‘Skyrail’ is a registered trademark of Skyrail Pty Ltd which owns the cableway”.

“The real Skyrail is the spectacular, multi-award winning Skyrail Rainforest Cableway tourist attraction in Cairns,” the statement read.

“The company has no plans to develop anything in Melbourne and certainly not an elevated railway.”

Melbourne’s elevated rail line, unofficially dubbed ‘skyrail’, will see parts of the Dandenong-Cranbourne line raised to create urban space underneath which has sparked community outrage over what could

become a ‘ghetto’ below.

And Dr Chapman seemed to laugh in the face of Melbourne, pointing to the fact that many Melbournians may soon be in need of a little TLC. “This debate has created a bit of tension in Melbourne so it seems clear that a lot of people are really going to need a holiday,” the statement read.

“Time to get up to Cairns to relax and enjoy the fabulous reef and rainforest of Tropical North Queensland, and, of course, the wonderful experience that is the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway,” he said.

The statement was headlined: “Elevated Railway is no Skyrail”.

Should Melbourne’s elevated rail line be renamed?

Academy to push juniors to elite level

By RUSSELL BENNETT A NEW football development academy based out of Berwick is set to become an absolute gamechanger in the south-east.

Spearheaded by two of the best known figures in local football - Aussie Jones and Travis Marsham - the South East Elite Pathways Academy (SEEPA) will offer an elite development program for the 2016 season onwards and is open to under10s through to the under-17s.

It specifically focuses on the development of local talent and takes a personal approach through its coaching with an aim to improving the quality of the sport in the region.

Former St Kilda gun Aussie Jones is heading up the academy, which is based in Enterprise Avenue in Berwick.

After playing more than 220 AFL games, Jones has since gone on to hold a number of key roles in senior local, and elite junior footy.

His great mate Marsham, who most recently took Cora Lynn to the 2014 and 2015 senior premierships in the Ellinbank and District Football League (EDFL), also forms part of a massive coaching panel that also includes the likes of former Richmond skipper Chris Newman, Collingwood legend Peter Daicos, former St Kilda big man Justin Koschitzke, AFL great Stan Alves, Frankston VFL coach Patrick Hill, former West Coast and Collingwood player Andrew Williams, and local footy icons Jock Holland, Ricky Clark, Brett Evans and Steven Kidd.

All up, SEEPA’s coaches have played more than 1350 AFL games and kicked more than 1200 goals.

“We won’t have an official link with TAC Cup sides but if was coaching in TAC I’d be pushing my 13 or 14-year-old kids to do it - even the 15 and 16-year-olds who might’ve missed out on their schoolboy squads,” Jones said.

“If you’re the Stingrays and you have 10 kids who miss out in the 15s, but they come through an elite program like this and go back a better player, all it means is that their under-16 squad is going to be deeper and stronger.”

In addition to programs tailored to their own football needs, players involved will also get nu-

Cobras need new blood Travis Marsham and Aussie Jones are excited about what the South East Elite Pathways Academy could deliver for footy in the local region. 150287 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT tritional information, career guidance and social media education.

Local coaches will also be mentored.

“I reckon our footy that we produce in this area is so underrated - massively so,” Jones said.

“We want to make sure the development of the kids is going to make it as strong as it should be in three, five or 10 years’ time.

“We’re looking forward to getting some of the best talent around and showing them what we do.

Also based out of the same Berwick address will be another venture from Marsham and Jones - P3 Sports and Recovery, which helps athletes of any sport prepare, perform and prevent using state-of-the-art technology, equipment and support (hydrotherapy, dry therapy, massage and the like) which is normally reserved for elite athletes.

The facility is open to anyone and everyone from any background.

SEEPA is limited to 20 places in each age level.

For more information, visit: www.myseepa. com <http://www.myseepa.com>.

For a full rundown of P3, search for ‘P3 Sports & Recovery’ on Facebook.

The facility is set to open in the coming weeks.

Finals spot up for grabs THEY have shared the last four WGCA Premier Division titles but it looks like being the end of the road for either Kooweerup or Tooradin when they clash at the Kooweerup Rec. Reserve over the next fortnight.

The Demons and Seagulls currently sit third and fourth on the ladder, but the loser of their final-round shootout will lose their place if Merinda Park do the expected and get over the top of Upper Beaconsfield.

For more on the biggest home and away round of the season, turn to page 53.

By RUSSELL BENNETT FOOTY is truly a game for everyone. It doesn’t matter what your personal circumstances are - the hardships you’ve gone through, or the ones you’re currently battling. It’s truly a game for anyone who wants to pull their socks up and give it a red hot crack.

Anyone who has seen the Casey Cobras play, or met their players or support staff, will know they’ve seen the enjoyment of footy in its purest form.

The club plays in the RecLink competition, which through its own motto is all about “rebuilding lives through sport and arts”.

Many of the Cobras have done it tough, or still are. The completion is designed for socially disadvantaged people, such as those with problems with alcohol or substance abuse, mental illness, or who’re homeless. Anyone can play - footy is just a great release.

But on the verge of the 2016 season, the Cobras - which was set up a little over 15 years ago

in Doveton as the ‘Casey Kangaroos’ - is desperately on the lookout for more players and community support. The future of the club is in jeopardy.

Make no mistake - this side is used to winning, having won premiership, after premiership, after premiership - but winning isn’t the be all and end all. The love of the game, and mateship, is.

Casey’s president - and its only ever coach - Gary Lambert knows that better than anyone.

With the prospect of an AFL umpiring career ahead of him, his life was turned upside down in a 1992 car crash.

“It pretty much took my whole life away from me - I went through serious depression and that type of stuff, but it (the club) has helped me in my own mental self,” he said.

“I’ve been here since day one and I’ve got a good relationship with a lot of these guys.

They can ring me up at any time of night and they know that. If they’re struggling they can ring me and we’ll have a talk.

“I want to see these guys get better and succeed. They’ll use an excuse - saying they’ve got schizophrenia or bipolar - but I don’t care.

“I’ve got depression, and when I was really sick I thought about taking my own life as well. For me to go from the lowest point I was at to where I am now ... I’ve lived what they’re living. I’ve experienced it.”

Gary has a loving wife and a big, supporting family. In fact, through his footy club, he has two families.

As well as sponsors to help cover their expenses, the Cobras are desperately searching for as many as a dozen new players to cover those who retired at the end of last season.

Age, fitness, gender, or experience in the game are irrelevant.

Absolutely anyone is welcome.

The Cobras are now based at Lawson Poole Reserve in Cranbourne, and play every second Wednesday during football season. For more information or to pledge your support call Gary on 0425 763 072 or email jaygee5@bigpond.com.

Dandenong will face Sandringham at 9am on Sunday morning at Frankston Oval while the Gippsland girls battle Geelong-Western from 10.45am.

VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET - ROUND 15 (Day 1) THE downward decline towards the end of the season might have begun, but Dandenong (191) ensured there wouldn’t be any backwards steps on the road there.

Battling top-of-the-ladder Fitzroy-Doncaster (0/45) is headache enough, but the Panthers also need to look for outright victories as the gap to the top-eight sits at 10 points.

A tough task was made all the more difficult early as the skipper Tom Donnell (0) lost his pegs instantly, scarcely troubling the scorers.

With Fitzroy-Doncaster’s man mountain Trent Lawford (3/57) bowling hand-grenades from his cannon-like arm, the Panthers’ top order had to brace itself for chaos. Brett Forsyth (49) countered the barrage with an onslaught of his own - picking off Lawford, Chris Moore (2/37) and Matthew Frith (1/23) as he got his eye in.

But the problem plaguing Forsyth’s season to date - plenty of uncashed starts - continued as he struck out against Steven Duckworth (2/40) ... the fifth time this season the Dandy opener has fallen in the 40s.

Thankfully for Dandenong the next mainstay was ready to get stuck into the Lions.

Star all-rounder James Nanopoulos (55) resumed the challenge Forsyth first under-

Brett Forsyth struck back against Fitzroy-Doncaster's mighty attack on a mediocre day for Dandenong. 150212 Picture: JARROD POTTER took and struck his way into his second half ton of the season.

The middle order folded around Nanopoulos as the side continued its youth policy, but thankfully a wiser head was on his way. The last renewed fightback came from David Alleyne (32), who stuck fast to Nanopolous to add 47 for the sixth scalp. Nanopoulos held on as long as he could to guide the side towards 200 as some wagging from James Wilcock (7no) put the last few scores onto the board.

The Lions batted out the last 20 overs comfortably, leaving plenty of time to chase down the Panthers and all but lock in the minor premiership heading into the final round.

Casey-South Melbourne (188) fared about the same as Dandenong, at least in the batting stakes as Essendon (4/65).

James Seymour (43) continued his scoring spree while captain Lachie Sperling (67) flew the flag alongside Dylan Hadfield (39) in the middle order. The pair smashed 90 for the fifth wicket - brutally belting sixes and fours alike - before their knock was brought to an end. Sperling carried on but without enough help from the tail, Casey keeled over after 60 overs.

Nathan Lambden (2/8) was unplayable from his eight overs - busting apart James Lidgett (0) and Aaron Shellie (9) cheaply before stumps.

Young Cavaliers step up

the recently held Dandenong-Eltham Basketball Tournament, held over the Australia Day weekend, adding another bow to the side’s successes heading into the VC campaign.

What the side can do is left in their hands, as Szalek believes his Casey charges constantly find ways to surpass his expectations.

“It was a fantastic job and while we’re not expecting too much from now, they continue to surprise,” Szalek said. “We won’t be surprised anymore as they are going about basketball the way they should be.”

Casey Cavaliers added another team to its VC history with the 2016 under-14 girls making the top grade.

Margaret Court 14. Brett Prebble 15. Freddie Lane 16. Norman Von Nida 17.

THE next generation of champion Casey basketballers have earned their ticket into the prestigious Victorian Championship (VC).

With an emphatic grading record, the Casey Cavaliers Under-14-1 girls - coached by Brad Szalek - earned the right to play in the Victorian Junior Basketball League’s (VJBL) highest ranked division in 2016 last week.

What was once a rarity out in Cranbourne has steadily becoming more common as the Casey Basketball Association has risen right up the representative ranks.

After three wins, a draw and a loss heading into the initial grading conclusion, Casey’s Under-14 girls needed a sizeable win over Frankston to enter VC directly.

The Cavaliers rallied to blow apart the Blues, taking the win 48-31 and clinching the VC spot on winning points difference.

“They’ve done really well,” Szalek said. “Just tried to keep them on track and see what they wanted to achieve - these were their goals and they felt like they could make it and had the right pieces to the puzzle to get there.

“We were unfortunate to lose one the games and knew we needed a good win margin and played probably the best game they ever played.”

Szalek thinks the girls have a great balance throughout the roster - with players picked to fill the right roles and learn them properly.

“We’re actually fairly even - through selections we were trying to get role specific players,” Szalek said. “Players who could back others up with depth and fill their roles - that was a big one for us.

“That is to give them the idea of what role they play and learn that position back to front.”

The side also finished second in their pool in

Three wins to Parkers HAMPTON PARK BOWLS THE thought of playing finals is lifting the standard of Hampton Park’s Midweek bowlers.

Division 1 (4th place) had to fight all the way for a 5 shot win over Cranbourne at Pound Road.

The win was set up by Marion Battaglia, Toni Sutton, John Nunan and Neville Hendrie with a 10 shot win (25-15) while Geoff Ladner, Ron Beverly, Helen Lambert and Denise Eastick had a 1 shot loss (1920) and Val Moore, Ann Westwell, Ellen Smith and Chris Hendrie a 4 shot loss (16-20).

Hampton Park (1) 12-60 defeated Cranbourne (2) 4-55.

Hampton Park’s Division 3 is close to guaranteeing a top two final’s berth after playing another finals aspirant, Middle Park (4th on the ladder). Tuesday’s game at Middle Park had the tension of the finals, even with three games to go.

With one end to play the Parker’s led by only 1 shot and the team of Grace Hogan, Jen Sherry, Gwen Clough and Ray Wood still to finish, and although down on the day (16-28) found a one shot win on the end for the overall win. Lou Soligo, Jim Westwell, Rob Woff and Peter Hayden had a good 21-13 win and Ian Kitt, June Damon, Brian Diaper and Geoff Ampt won 22-16.

Hampton Park (2) 14-59 defeated Middle Park (2) 2-57.

The atmosphere was much better at Hampton Park on Saturday night with wins by both Division 1 and Division 3. The wins took both teams just out of the relegation areas for now. On the indoor carpet at Brighton, Division 1 took most of the day to get the better of the home team, finally winning by 13 shots. Mark Paton, John Nunan, Ian Bartlett and Larry Simpson led most of the day for a 24-19 win and Jack Edwards, Andrew Brandolin, Chris Barnes and Laurie Edwards took control mid-game for a 21-16 win.

John Wright, Shane Hardy, Shane Collins and Steve Barnes were down by 9 with 8 ends to play, and rallied to win on the last end by 2 (25-23), while Geoff Ampt, Neville Hendrie, Zak Storm and Warwick Hardy only found the lead with 4 to play and held on for a 1 shot win (22-21).

Hampton Park (1) 18-92 defeated Brighton (2) 0-79.

At Armadale, Division 3 had a tough fight for their 6 shot win. Val Moore, Jim Westwell, Sean McDonald and Peter Hayden led all day for a 24-17 win, while Trevor Harbright, Helen Lambert, Geoff Ladner and Chris Hendrie won 2321, and Ray Wood, Dave Clarke, Ron Beverly and Ken Cobden won

Fritz steadies the ship CRANBOURNE BOWLS SATURDAY CRANBOURNE Side 1 had a very convincing win against Clayton on Saturday thanks to Fritz Helle and his team of Peter De Lisle, Roger Roscoe and John Stanley who won by 25 shots to give the top side victory by 30 shots in the end.

Three years ago, Fritz spoke to the selectors and said he was ready and very willing to take up a role as Skip at the club.

The selectors finally gave him a chance, and since then he was promoted to the top side and he has never looked back. Asked after the match about his game, a very modest Fritz gave credit to his teammates by saying “the rink performed very well, in fact we only lost five out of 21 ends played, which was a very pleasing effort from all the players.”

Bad luck continued again for the second side going down on the last bowl of the day for the second week in a row, to give victory to old rivals Berwick by one shot and bring tears to the

Cranbourne side again.

Andy Kidd played some great bowls during the day resulting in some great conversions giving his rink of Frank Male, Harry Van Soest and Garry Hunt a 14 shot victory.

With three rinks up and one down, the one shot loss was very disappointing but as team manager Matt Boltong summed it up after the game: “A great bowl was needed to take victory from us with the opposition having last bowl of the day which was out of our control, and although disappointing with the result we can only move on to next week and do better.”

LADIES The ladies came back into the winning circle with a good 26 shot win during the week with two rinks up and one drawn.

A great result from Barbara Fulton and her team of Maree Taylor, Pat Boltong and Brenda De Lisle who won by 15 shots.

Final four tussle

By RUSSELL BENNETT

IT’S hard to imagine a home and away round with more riding on it than the Round 14 WGCA Premier Division fixture beginning this weekend.

While the so-far undefeated Pakenham and last season’s vanquished grand finalist Cardinia have locked in their finals positions, Kooweerup (currently third), Tooradin (fourth), and Merinda Park (fifth) are vying for two available spots.

It all comes down to this: If Merinda Park beats Upper Beaconsfield, then the Cobras will make the finals and the loser of Kooweerup’s clash with Tooradin misses out.

If, however, the young but very capable Maroons find a way past the Cobras at Upper Beaconsfield, the Demons and Gulls will both make it.

KOOWEERUP v TOORADIN THERE’S just no getting away from one of the Premier tier’s greatest recent rivalries.

“It’d be great to win, and it’d also be great to knock them out too,” said Gulls skipper Tom Hussey looking ahead to the first day’s play this week.

“It should be a great contest we’re looking forward to it.”

In the one corner, in the red trunks, you have the likes of Chris O’Hara, Chris Bright, Jess Mathers and John Bright. In the other - in the blue - you have Hussey, Aaron Avery, Bradey Welsh and man-of-themoment century-maker Dan Hunt.

“They do have a couple of key bowlers - Jess, John Bright, Tubsy (O’Hara), and the spinners, but we just need to bat the full 80 overs and

Kooweerup opener John Bright will be keen to strike early when the Demons take on Tooradin in a crunch Round 14 collision. 149836 Picture: ROB CAREW

a steady start will go a long way to doing that,” Hussey said.

Demons skipper Chris Bright can’t wait for the clash either.

“All the boys know what the situation is - our fate is in our own hands,” he said.

“We’ve been training for the last three or four weeks knowing it’d come down to the last round - ever since we lost to Upper Beaconsfield really.”

UPPER BEACONSFIELD v MERINDA PARK TO an even larger degree than the Gulls and the Demons, the Cobras’ destiny is entirely of their own making. If they win, they’re in. It’s that simple.

“We know what we have to do we spoke about it straight after the

Kooweerup game on Saturday,” said Merinda Park player-coach Jamie Smith.

“Danny (skipper Danny Diwell) was a bit disappointed we’ve left it up to our last game of the season again. We’ve done that a few times, but our destiny is in our own hands.

“If we win this round, we’ll make it.”

The Cobras will have to bowl well to the likes of Bathiya Perera, Julian Bayard, Matt Hutson and allrounders Tommy Tyrrell and Maroons skipper Scott Pitcher. That much they can control.

And, of course, they’d prefer to be playing the game at the Snake Pit at Donnelly Reserve.

“Their pitch spins and moves off the seam a lot so it does help out the

bowlers,” Smith said of the Upper Beaconsfield ground.

But he backs his team mates wholeheartedly.

“Danny (Diwell) is in fantastic form - he’s hitting the ball beautifully, and Daniel McCalman came back from Country Week pretty tired but he’s fresh now,” Smith said.

The two key clashes in round 14 are sandwiched between a top-ofthe-table match-up between Pakenham and Cardinia, and a battle between the cellar-dwellers Cranbourne Meadows and Emerald.

The Lions and Bulls have already secured the top-two positions on the ladder while Cranbourne Meadows is destined for relegation.

Cox belts century for Heinz

By JARROD POTTER DDCA TURF 1 - ROUND 10 (Day 1) HEINZ Southern Districts (7/256) flayed ladderleading Springvale South thanks to an extraordinary second-wicket stand from Matt Cox (138) and Brad Downe (49).

SPRINGVALE SOUTH v HEINZ SOUTHERN DISTRICTS From the highs of getting Cobras’ opener Trevor Davies (0) out for a blob, the match soon spiralled out of control for the Bloods.

With four first choice bowlers out of the equation - with Tim Ford, Malinga Bandara, Jackson Sketcher and Jarrod Armitage unavailable - it left a heavy bowling burden on Nathan King (4/76), Matt Wetering (2/67) and the skipper Craig Slocombe (0/32).

King stormed in with the new rock, shaking off the boiling-hot conditions - to try and keep the Cobras’ second-wicket stand from blooming.

But no matter what he did, Cox and Downe marched on.

The Soupmen top order smashed apart anything thrown at them, particularly Cox as he hit his way back into form. After a number of starts and none particularly cashed in, the onus was put on the skipper by none other than ... himself. He wanted the runs and Cox delivered. Flaying the Bloods - especially on the off-side through the covers - Cox raced to his fourth DDCA century.

Downe played a subdued role excellently, rotating the strike and pushing it down the ground at will to leave Springvale South without many options.

Finally an opportunity came as Downe hit out against King, but by then the damage was done.

The last 10 overs were a springboard as Cox, Michael Davies (15) and Ryan Davies (15no) started smacking the stuffing out of the weary bowlers.

Cox would sky one in the dying overs, but not before belting the Bloods into a headache next week, chasing down 257 without many of its middle order all-rounders.

“Obviously their full attack isn’t out there so it made it a bit easier, but other than that I had a couple of chances, but you’ve got to have luck in

Smashing apart Springvale South, Heinz skipper Matthew Cox put the runs on the board Pictures: JARROD POTTER when it mattered most. 150214 cricket and it was a good day,” Cox said. “Was just good to get amongst them, get 250 and hopefully have a chance.”

Giving the bowling brigade something defendable was the pleasing takeaway from Saturday as the skipper thought it was time the batsmen lived up to their end of the bargain.

“Definitely the way we’ve batted over the last month - today to post a score, something for our bowlers to finally bowl at and finally give us a chance to get back into the four,” Cox said. “It was really good - we put a big onus during the week on actually batting 80 overs and if we kept wickets in hand then we’ll do it and have something to bowl at and that’s what we did.”

LYNDALE v HALLAM KALORA PARK A wicket-fest at Barry Powell Reserve left Hallam Kalora Park (153) with much-needed first innings points and a chance for a ladder-defining outright against Lyndale (69 and 1/9). A top order collapse left the Hawks in danger at 4/17, before another shudder went through the line-up for leave them 7/77. Jordan Hammond (35) was

the only man to fight back in the top ranks before Amila Perera (39) and John Hammond (32) fashioned a do-or-die partnership, which thankfully for Hallam favoured the former. Their 75run stand would prove critical as Lyndale failed to surpass even that. Hallam shared the first innings scalps as it took only 35.4 overs to force the Dales back to the crease for a second salvo. Hammond (1/6) got the final wicket to cap off the strange 21-scalp first day.

PARKFIELD v BERWICK Bear-ly hanging on against Berwick (2/49), it took Parkfield’s (148) middle order to stir from hibernation to give Dunblane Road something to cheer about. The one-two punch from Jack Williams (4/33) and Jarrod Goodes (3/25) left the hosts in disarray - at one stage falling to 5/36 before the rescue began in earnest. Matt Aslett (53) and Nilochana Perera (40) pushed the singles and capitalised on any Berwick error to push the run-rate along ... before Perera became Goodes’ next victim. The Berwick tandem would clean up the home-town Bears’ tail after 59 overs, but with

something defendable on the board, Parkfield set to work making amends for a poor day’s batting, with two late wickets giving Parkfield something to smile.

NARRE WARREN v DANDENONG WEST In the battle of the low men, Narre Warren (9/240dec) soared over Dandenong West (0/18) in a batting spree at Sweeney Reserve. While the contributions of Magpies’ skipper Kaushalya Weeraratne (41) was a good start, the Bulls had the upper hand throughout. Shaun Weir (4/73) rattled through his overs alongside Andrew Harry (3/63) as the duo went on a spree through the Narre middle order. Falling to 5/67, Weeraratne had to salvage what he could, but his dismissal - caught off Harry - would usually have been disastrous. The best work was saved at the death as tailenders Chris Edwards (52) and Andrew Cotton (51) swatted a 48-run stand before Edwards held down the fort to give the Magpies a massive tally and most importantly, something worth declaring on. The Bulls were unscathed at stumps but still chasing a whopping tally.

Stylish roadster classic

By EWAN KENNEDY FOR the first time in Australia the brilliant little Mazda MX-5 is offered with two different engines.

That’s chiefly to permit the importer to have a price leader (at $31,990) to tackle the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86.

However, some drivers relish using their driving skills to get the best from small engines so the 1.5 has been selling well.

A few weeks back we tested an MX-5 with the 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces a relatively modest 96 kW and 150 Nm. Now we have just spent a very enjoyable week in the 2.0-litre MX-5.

It has a pretty respectable 118 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque. Our test car was a Roadster GT 2.0 with a sixspeed manual gearbox.

The 2.0-litre has a starting price of $34,490 and comes with 17-inch alloys, Mazda’s MZD Connect system and LED daylight running lamps as standard.

While the second and third generations (1997 and 2005) were evolutions of the original 1989 NA series, the genfour designers have given us a modern shape based on the ‘Kodo’ design as seen in the rest of the Mazda range.

To our eyes the rear is rather generic, following the current global theme of round units tapering outwards into slim

Brilliant Mazda MX-5 roadster has neat new look. horizontal areas.

The MX-5 comes as a Roadster and an upmarket Roadster GT. The GT stands out visually in that the body colour continues over onto the tops of the doors into the cabin. It has black doormirror housings. Automatic lights and wipers, climate control on the air conditioning, and keyless entry and start are standard in the GT. A 7.0-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation, internet radio, Mazda’s MZD Connect infotainment system has a 7.0-inch touchscreen and is operated

by a Commander Control between the seats.

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine used in the MX-5 we reviewed has 118 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque.

Six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions are offered.

Paddles behind the wheel of the auto do provide sort-of manual driving, but it’s not the same thing. Give us the manual any day.

The MX-5 received five stars for passive safety, but only a four-star rating in

safety assist. A spokesperson for Mazda Australia points out that “there has never been a sports car that has received a five star rating in the past”.

Again in the interests of chassis balance the seats are lower than before.

Getting in and out will be a challenge if your body has a few extra years on the clock, or your belly has gained some extra inches. Try before you buy…

Once settled into the low seats you will find they provide good support without being overly aggressive in their side bolsters.

Having 33 per cent more displacement than the 1.5 engine instantly endeared us to the MX-5 2.0. And ‘instantly’ is the right word to describe this sports powerplant - because the moment you hit the pedal on the right you get instant action.

Sure, turbocharged hot hatches pro-

duce even more oomph than a naturally aspirated unit like the Mazda but not until the irritating lag has finally let you get the power you demanded seemingly an age back.

Even better, the little Mazda roadster sounds great as there’s no turbo to muffle the exhaust note.

A little more volume would be appreciated, but there are tough regulations about this sort of thing.

Keep the engine in the 4000 to 6000 range - it’s happy to get up to 7000 - on your favourite stretch of winding mountain road and your smile will grow by the minute.

The six-speed manual gearshift has short throws, is ultra smooth and is perhaps even better than in previous MX5s. Brilliant.

Operation of the soft-top roof is ultra simple. Undo a single catch in the centre of the windscreen header, fold the roof back and it clips down into the open position.

The Mazda range is available for test drive at Berwick Mazda, Prestige Place, Narre Warren on 8796 6222 or at Bruce Clough Mazda, Princes Highway, Nar Nar Goon, on 5942 5584.

Audi changes its own way

By PETER ANDERSON HYBRID cars are going to become a whole lot more common on our roads as The Great Change comes across the car industry.

Sure it’s all going to take decades but the inexorable shift away from fossil fuels is underway.

Over the past two decades carmakers have taken a well-trodden path to highlight their commitment to the coming automotive order - make something stupid-looking that drives like it’s going to fall over (Toyota, Nissan, Renault etc.) but then say it doesn’t matter because it’s green; or go all-out and do something slightly mad like BMW did with its new i3 and i8 range.

Audi has taken its own path. First it showed the completely bonkers-looking R8 e-tron, raced some hybrids at Le Mans and then put a hybrid powertrain into an otherwise normal-looking car, the A3. They must be mad - how will the neighbours know?

There’s one e-tron in the A3 range and it starts at $62,490.

That lands you in a five-door Sportback hatch with 17-inch alloy wheels, an eight-speaker stereo with DAB, Bluetooth and USB (with annoying proprietary cable), dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, keyless entry and start, cruise control, sat-nav, e-tron specific LED headlamps and daytime running lights, auto headlights and wipers, auto parking, power windows and mirrors.

Our test car also had the Assistance Package ($1990) which adds lane departure warning, forward collision mitigation, active cruise control and auto high beam; Comfort Package ($1990) which adds heated electric front seats, auto

dimming and dipping mirrors; and Monsoon Grey metallic for $1150 bringing the total to $67,620.

The A3 e-tron is unlike many other hybrids and pure electric cars in that it doesn’t shout about itself.

There are visual differences such as the LED headlights and the wheels but it looks like a normal A3, which means restrained, handsome and the opposite of shouty.

The four rings in the front grille pop out to reveal the plug-in apparatus which is kind of cool but feels a bit flimsy.

Inside is identical to a reasonably well-specified A3, with just one extra button for selecting Hybrid modes.

And that’s it until you get to the boot which has a slightly higher floor under which hides the battery pack.

The boot’s capacity drops significantly, from 380 litres to 280. There’s no spare, either, just a repair kit.

Seven airbags, ABS, brake force distribution, brake assist, stability and traction controls are standard and are enough to have earned the A3 five ANCAP stars.

The additional protection offered in the Assistance Package includes lane departure warning, active cruise and forward collision mitigation.

Audi’s MMI with a seven-inch retractable screen runs the stereo, sat-nav and some car settings.

The rotary dial is placed on the centre console and is intuitive and easy to use.

It includes a scratchpad on the top for jotting out addresses or phone numbers.

The sound is perfectly fine (you can add a B&O package for $1750) and with DAB, you get crystal clear radio as long as you’re not in a tunnel.

Our pet hate - the proprietary cable to connect your phone - blights the other-

Looks like a current A3 rather than Audi’s future. wise excellent MMI system’s abilities.

Being a hybrid, there’s two power sources. The 1.4TFSI turbo-petrol from the lower end of the range makes a reappearance, with 110 kW and 250 Nm of torque, up from 81 kW. Added to that is a 75 kW electric motor. The combined output is 150 kW and 350 Nm. Audi claims a combined fuel figure of just 1.6L/100km and a 0-100km/h time of 7.6 seconds.

That’s a nonsense number because it uses a fully charged battery and no allowance is made for the fuel (electricity) used to charge it.

Running purely on electric, Audi also claims you can cover around 50km but we never got better than about 30km before the petrol engine cut in to save the day. Admittedly, the week we had was a typical muggy Sydney week, so the aircon worked the batteries hard.

The purchase price includes the supply of a 16-amp single phase power outlet (aka wallbox) that reduces the time

for a full plug-in charge to just two and a half hours.

Installation is carried out by an “Audi electrical partner” but, ominously, the press release says that it “in many cases will be a cost-neutral exercise.”

As with any electric-capable car, it takes a while to get used to hitting Start button and not hearing or feeling anything. Put the standard selector into D and if you’re not particularly attentive, you probably won’t notice anything but the lightest of clunks as the transmission engages.

There’s three modes to choose from when it comes to the electric propulsion.

You can choose to run exclusively on battery (EV), Hybrid Auto (uses both power sources) Hybrid Hold (holds the battery at the current level of charge) and Hybrid charge which, as it suggests, charges the battery using engine power.

The A3’s obvious German rival is the BMW i3 and they couldn’t be more different to drive.

When you lift off in the i3 - and in many other electric and hybrid vehicles - the electric generator takes the opportunity to engage itself to recover energy as you brake.

The A3 is the opposite, there’s almost no drag when you lift off and the power gauge, which replaces the rev-counter, shows no recovery until you hit the brakes.

That does change when you’re in Hybrid Charge but it’s still nowhere near as aggressive as the BMW i3 or the electriconly Tesla.

Apart from that, it drives like a quickish A3. It’ll cover 0-100km/h in 7.6 seconds, which is pretty reasonable and puddles around town more than happily and very, very quietly. So quietly, in fact, that Elmer Fudd would be envious.

There’s a hefty weight penalty between a 1.4 TFSI Ambition and the etron - almost 200kg - so it handles and steers a little less enthusiastically.

It is offset by that little extra pull from the extra torque available right down low and the six-speed dual clutch behaves just like it does in any other A3.

You’re not going to buy an e-tron to save on the cost of petrol - the difference between it and a 1.8 TFSI would take many years, decades even, to recover.

What you’re buying is car that you could, conceivably, get away with never filling with petrol if your commute is short to medium in length.

And because it’s an Audi A3, you do know exactly what you’re getting as well as a healthy dose of smug that you’re doing The Right Thing. But doing it quietly.
