Casey Resident and Ratepayers Association president Arvo Talvik has expressed his concerns about the dilapidated Hampton Park Food Market. 190232 Tape and temporary fencing has been put up around the Hallam Road site. 190232 She added the association wasn't blaming council as they are "doing everything in their power" to address the issues at the Hampton Park Food Market.

Hampton Park resident Courtney Maree expressed her concerns about the site.

"It's been abandoned for like three years.

We grew up here - it should've been knocked

down years ago," she said.

"It's been in the planning process for ages and they decide to let it sit there. You go inside - everything is gone and smashed up."

A derelict Hampton Park Food Market labelled an "eyesore" and "Melbourne worst" will be bulldozed after Casey council approved a demolition application on Tuesday 11 February.

Council is now assessing a planning application for a multi-use development including 117 apartments, shops and offices at the Hallam Road site.

"The application has also been referred to VicRoads and Melbourne Water for their approval," Casey manager of statutory planning and building services Duncan Turner said.

When Star News visited this week windows temporary fencing was up with windows smashed, walls covered in graffiti, and damaged chairs and tables strewn across the front.

Council is also seeking extra powers to be able to issue warnings and harsher penalties to "recalcitrant owners" "Council has asked that it be entitled to issue penalties in keeping with the community risk that these properties pose, temporarily confiscate the properties and undertake the remedial work necessary," Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon said.

"Should re-offending occur, we've asked that Council can undertake further remedial works, with the penalties to double on each occasion to the same property."

Currently the council's only legal avenue to act against the owner of the commercial premises is issuing a $2,000 fine for unsightly premises.

Councillor Wayne Smith said council was "working hard to investigate what methods Council can take to help rectify the situation."

Casey Resident and Ratepayers Association president Arvo Talvik said the site was an "eyesore" and in effect "a waste land."

"It wouldn't take much to break in and gets squatters in there and that wouldn't be good," he said.

"It would be in the council's interests to listen to any submissions from developers."

Mr Talvik said there was "any number of things" the site could be turned into including a plaza, offices, open space garden, eateries or leisure centre.

Hampton Park Progress Association spokeswoman Erica Maliki said the site was "not fair on the community."

"We've got the worst shopping centre in Victoria - we're very disappointed.

IN BRIEF 70 years marriage

A helping ‘hand’

A couple from Cranbourne are celebrating a special wedding anniversary on Tuesday 26 February, marking 70 years since they got married.

Frank and Margaret Williams will join friends and family for the platinum milestone.

The couple say togetherness, valuing each other's opinion, and "getting along" have been the secret to their successful marriage.

By Brendan Rees A Dandenong employment service has found a solution with using plastic waste to help amputees.

Envision, a not-for-profit charity that provides support to long-term and disadvantaged job-seekers, is delivering the Envision hands project which turns recycled plastic bottle tops into prosthetic hands for children in developing countries.

To give them a helping hand, the Coca-Cola Foundation announced Envision would share $1.5 million in funding from Coca-Cola to support its Envision Hands upcycling project.

"We're thrilled to be able to give back to the local communities we serve through the global Coca-Cola Foundation," Coca-Cola spokeswoman Sarah Prestwood said.

Using 3D printers to create the prosthetic hands for those in need, Envision will train and support disadvantaged job seekers to help make the devices on-site. The funding will enable the collection of bottle tops, basic recycling processes and the design, creation and distribution of the prosthetic hands.

Supervisor Renata of Hampton Park said it was highly rewarding seeing job seekers learn new skills.

"Our job seekers were able to see the benefits of capturing the wasted resource of bottle caps, not only saving it from going to landfill, but turning it into a very useful item," Renata said, who asked not to publish her surname.

Her team coordinated the 3D printing and the investigation of the properties of plastic lids.

"It was extremely rewarding to see the knowledge and new skills gained by all and the teamwork that was built during the activity."

Director of Envision Employment Services Sean Teer said his team decided to take action "when we realised we might be able to turn those tops into something really beneficial."

"We saw that plastic bottle tops were not being recycled and going into landfill," he said.

"We now are collecting tops from around

Dog attack treated as 'minor' Casey Council is investigating a dog attack that allegedly involved a Siberian husky and another dog earlier this month in Cranbourne.

"Council did not seize the dog, however the officer who attended obtained details from the victim and also undertook a comprehensive inspection of the property on which the alleged incident occurred," Casey manager of safer communities Caroline Bell said.

"At this stage this is considered a 'minor' attack due to the nature of the injuries to both the victim and her dog, and, as the incident occurred on the property of the second dog, it is unlikely that further action will be taken by Council. However, this will be determined on completion of the investigation."

Man arrested in Cranbourne dawn raid

Richard, left, and job seeker Damien collect plastic bottle tops which will be used to make Picture: GARY SISSONS prosthetic hands. 190162 Melbourne and Victoria and sites like our Dandenong site will be involved in turning those tops into hands/arms and also many other useful plastic recycled items.

"This will also involve training long term unemployed in the latest 3D technology, he said, adding the project aimed to make 100 prosthetic hands for children.

"Envision is putting together a major fundraising campaign to now put all the elements of the project together including programs at schools and in the communities and donations will be sought to support this great environmental and humanitarian project," Mr Teer said.

ATO sets its sights on our ‘black economy’ The ATO will be in Cranbourne on Tuesday 19 February providing guidance to legitimate small businesses and to identify those deliberately avoiding paying tax and super.

Assistant Commissioner Peter Holt said the ATO is helping those that are trying to do the right thing, but we will take strong enforcement action against those deliberately avoiding tax and super.

"Businesses that pay cash in hand, or forget to lodge income tax or BAS statements, or don't pay their employees super, get an unfair advantage and make it harder for other businesses. By detecting and addressing this behaviour, we can ensure a level playing field for honest small businesses."

The ATO is inviting all local businesses and tax professionals to a one-hour information sessions at Cranbourne Racecourse at 10am

and 4pm that will explain the purpose of their visits and how to avoid common mistakes.

There will also be a one-hour 'Introduction to business records' session for businesses that need some help at 11.15am.

"One of the most common mistakes we see is small businesses failing to keep appropriate records. We want small businesses to know that you don't need to be concerned by our visits, if you aren't getting it right - if you need support, we are willing to help," Mr Holt said.

"After the information sessions, we will be visiting local businesses one on one. The visits can help us identify who needs extra support to make it easier for them to comply. However, the visits also help us identify where businesses are not doing the right thing and getting an unfair advantage. If we see this behaviour, we will follow up. All businesses should get a fair

go."

"If businesses know they have made mistakes, we encourage them to let us know and work with us or their tax professional."

The ATO investigates whenever they are concerned that a business is deliberately doing the wrong thing.

"We get tip-offs from the local community about those not doing the right thing. The community as a whole is concerned and wants those who try to seek an unfair advantage to be held accountable," Mr Holt said.

"We want to help Australian businesses get their tax and super right. We understand that people are busy and most businesses are trying to meet their obligations - but there is a difference between needing help, making mistakes and deliberate cover-ups."

Police have arrested a 28-year-old man during an early-morning raid in Cranbourne.

Dandenong Divisional Response Unit, with the Critical Incident Response Team, executed the search warrant in Circle Drive just after 5.30am on Wednesday 13 February, police say.

The raid was part of an ongoing investigation, police say.

The arrested man is currently being questioned by police.

Man injured in altercation A Cranbourne North man has suffered injuries after an alleged altercation between two groups of men in Narre Warren South on Wednesday 6 February.

Police were call to the incident at Filmer Road about 8pm where all parties had moved on.

Police say the man reported injuries to his hand and head, believed to be related to the earlier altercation, and was treated for non-life threatening injuries.The investigation remains ongoing.

Clyde Road armed robbery Police have arrested a 34-year-old Berwick man in relation to an alleged armed robbery which occurred in Berwick on 10 February.

Investigators have been told a man entered a service station on Clyde Road about 10.30pm.

It is alleged he produced a handgun and forced the attendant to hand over cash before fleeing from the store.

Excellent police work resulted in an offender being arrested early this morning and a warrant being executed in Melrose Court, Berwick.

Police allege that an imitation firearm and cash was located during the search.

The 34-year-old has been charged with armed robbery and is expected to face court.

THE LOWDOWN Q&A

with Michelle La-Brooy, volunteer with the Gethsemane Church Charity and Holt Australia Day award recipient

How did it feel to receive an Holt Australia Day Award?

Humbled and appreciative.

What is something people don't know about you?

I have a black belt in karate.

THREE ‌ protect your vehicle from thieves...

1

Consider installing an anti-theft system if your vehicle doesn't already have one. A device as simple as an alarm can help you catch criminals, or deter them from trying to steal the car in the first place. Thieves are reluctant to steal cars if they know they can be recovered quickly.

Many insurance firms also offer discounts for cars that are fitted with anti-theft devices.

2

Be careful where you park your vehicle at night. If you can't put the vehicle inside a garage or lock-up, consider parking it beneath a street light or in a well-lit area. If a thief is roaming the area, they will likely target a car that is in a dark, concealed place. They don't want to risk being caught or compromised in the act.

3

It's commonsense, but try to ensure you don't leave valuables in your car. Those who are looking for a target are likely to pick out a car if they can see a wallet or a phone. While stealing the vehicle is not guaranteed, they're only one smash-and-grab away from knocking off a new mobile or some cash.

What is your most memorable moment?

My wedding day.

Where did you grow up as a child?

Kaitaia, New Zealand.

What is your favourite movie?

My best movies are the ones I watch with my hubby.

If you were PM for a day, what would you do?

Supply funding for Gethsemane Church Charity.

At school I....

I was home schooled.

Favourite holiday spot in Australia?

Phillip Island because I have the most memories there with my family.

What event, past, present, or future, would you like to witness?

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

What's your favourite book?

The Bible, and Caro The Talking Carrot (because my hubby wrote it).

Michelle La-Brooy. 190317

Wallaby’s short-lived rescue

By Brendan Rees

Fighters at the scene of the shed fire.

Picture: BAXTER CFA

Firies go in

By Brendan Rees Police have arrested a 52-year-old man following a seizure of cannabis plants in Pearcedale after a fire broke out in flames in a shed on Monday 11 February.

Police were called to the blaze on Pearcedale Road about 3.30pm, where more than 20 cannabis plants were found.

Fire crews received reports of the blaze on Pearcedale Road about 12.30pm which was contained just before 1pm.

An assembly of fire trucks from Somerville, Langwarrin, Cranbourne, Pearcedale, Baxter, Warneet, Frankston, and Tyabb were on scene for several hours to extinguish all hot spots The shed was about 10 metres by 10 metres in size, a CFA media spokesperson said.

The blaze was brought under control within 30 minutes.

Picture: BAXTER CFA VicEmergency also sent an advice message for Cranbourne South, Langwarrin, Langwarrin South, and Pearcedale areas at the time warning of smoke.

Casey Crime Investigation Unit released the man who is expected to be charged on summons.

CFA firefighters took the time to help save a baby wallaby while fighting a bushfire - but hopes of its survival were dashed when it was later put down.

Firefighters Hellie Aitken from Hampton Park and Mark Whitmore from Narre Warren North were battling raging bushfires in Grantville when they helped rescue the injured wallaby on Tuesday 5 February.

Once safely caught by Mark, Helen, together with a member of Ambulance Victoria, gave him some much-needed water and food, and cleaned its injured feet.

Hellie said firefighters spotted the wallaby on the side of the road, where his mother was nowhere to be seen.

"We popped him in a pillow case," she said.

"I had to go back out; I would've sat with him all afternoon."

"He was very content. He knew that we wanted to help him.

"We gave it some water and some lettuce," Hellie added. "I would've brought him home."

She said it was a team effort to help the marsupial who appeared to be shock, and "didn't know what was happening."

"His feet were quite badly burnt; his tail was a bit burnt.

"It's sad because they can't fend for themselves; they've got nowhere to go."

Hellie said the wallaby was taken into care

by Werribee Zoo but was sadly put down after reportedly suffering from bad infections.

"We try and hope that it gets a nice ending but it's not always the case," she said.

"Very, very sad to hear."

The 4000 hectare inferno had engulfed much of the bushland near the community, threatening homes and habitats.

RAY’S SAY

Jane Rowlo: This makes me angry. Revenue making at its best.

Kirra Timms: The problem with people these days is they always have an excuse.

If you can't understand basic signs you shouldn't have your license.

Lindsay Marie: I was issued one this morning for parking in an actual parking spot in the correct hours and was only parked there for 30 minutes.

Morsal Sa: My mum got fined here today $161. It's not fair and greedy, people are going there for medical treatment and there is literally no parking available besides the hospital which is a walk and costly. Some of these people don't have the money to afford such rip off fines, totally disgusting.

CALL 9707 0566

Marie Jokanovic: My dad was in hospital for three months. Some days, my sister and I visited two times a day... Try if you can to calculate just parking fee expense.

Frances Sadler: I understand the issue with parking for medical treatment, but the traffic problem on Kangan Drive during the no standing periods is severe.

I don't know how an ambulance would be able to get through in an emergency.

That alone I think would be more important an issue than having to pay for parking at the hospital. I agree though that a parking garage or something is desperately needed in that area. I do expect people to have to pay for it though.

Outdoor area opened

By Brendan Rees A new outdoor recreation area has officially opened at Hampton Park Bowls Club, offering members and public a bigger space for entertainment.

The new outdoor area also features a barbecue allowing members and the public to socialise, dine and relax.

Federal Member for Holt Anthony Byrne joined chair-person Neville Hendrie and president Steve Barnes from the Hampton Park Bowls Club to open the pavilion on Saturday 9 February.

Mr Byrne's provided a $20,000 boost through the Stronger Communities Programme for the club to complete the project.

"It was wonderful to witness members enjoying playing bowls and then after finishing their games walk over to the new outdoor recreation area to enjoy a meal with team mates," Mr Byrne said.

$30m upgrade to bust congestion on Ballarto Road The Federal Government has committed to a $30 million upgrade of Ballarto Road which experiences significant congestion, and carries up to 12,000 vehicles a day.

The project will include intersection upgrades to reduce congestion and allow traffic to enter the main roads safely from residential streets.

The funding forms part of a $261.3 million investment in Melbourne's road network through the Coalition Government's $1 billion Urban Congestion Fund.

Federal Member for Dunkley Chris

Crewther said he had been fighting for extra funding to help reduce congestion on local roads.

"So many residents of Carrum Downs, Skye and Sandhurst, along with Skye CFA, have told me how hard it is to get in and out of Ballarto Road to and from their residential streets. So I've been fighting for funding to resolve this major congestion issue," Mr Crewther said.

"With so many families and businesses living in and moving into the area, we're coming to the rescue to stop locals from being stuck in traffic, to keep people safe and to ensure they

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the funding would make a real difference to the lives of people living in Frankston and surrounding Bayside areas, as well as those commuting north of the city.

"Our plan for a stronger economy means we can back the local projects that will help bust congestion around the city and suburbs," he said.

Gusty winds damage roofs

By Brendan Rees Narre Warren SES was kept busy on Tuesday 12 February after strong winds lashed the region.

Unit Controller Damian Burns said crews responded to four calls for help in Casey as winds of up to 65km/h were recorded according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

Crews tarped the roof of a house in Rocky Street, Cranbourne East about 11.30am.

"A number of tiles were ripped in a certain place. That can often happen when the wind come in very tight swirl," Mr Burns said.

"It's like a vortex and that can lift up tiles of a distance of half-a-metre and drop them back on the house.

"That can happen with sudden wind gusts.

I'm surprise that we didn't have more calls from a very short gusty spell."

Crews also tarped a fire damaged roof in Stratus Court in Hampton Park.

"You can no longer trust the rafters. We actually worked from the ground and pull a tarp over, it was only a small amount of damage," Mr Burns said.

Mr Burns added crew's also tarped roofs for a home in Berwick and Narre Warren that had tile damage.

"We come in and make it safe and reduce people's anxiety in regards to further damage," he said. "We have a number of techniques to make it water safe."

Across the South-East there was a total of 29 calls for help.

Michael* says he's been able to keep his "head above water" after losing six cleaning contracts with schools across the South East last July.

In a major shake-up, hundreds of public school cleaning contracts were wiped from 1 July in a bid to stop cleaning staff being routinely underpaid and exploited by rogue operators.

"I'm one of the few that haven't gone completely bankrupt," he said.

He says he's still in the same position six months ago where he was afraid his business would go under: "I just haven't been liquidated."

"You just keep going, and I'm slowly clawing back a resemblance of a business," he said.

"The taste in my mouth has been as sour as it has ever been but you carry on. You've got to pay for the bills or lose everything."

Michael, who lost his contract with Cranbourne Park Primary School, says campuses across Melbourne have been left filthy under the current model.

"The cleaners aren't inducted properly; they don't know what they're doing.

"There's no supervisor on site, they just throw the cleaners in there and hope for the best," he said.

"I do little jobs for schools that ring me up because their toilets are so disgusting that they offer work for me to come in."

When Michael has questioned schools what the type of product their cleaners are "they say 'I don't know come and have a look at the store room'."

"I go into the store room and there's two

Gum trees ‘need to go’

By Brendan Rees

Christina Jacobs and Geoff Wright say trees near their home in Clyde North need to be removed. 189854 or disability.

"Residents can contact Council's Community Care department to find out if they're eligible," Mr Richardson said.

Meanwhile, Mr Wright believes the large

gum trees "are not on".

"We're not young anymore...we want to live for the rest of our lives without any of this hassle of stupid gum trees.

"The trees are wrong and eventually some-

thing is going to happen," he said.

Mr Wright added it's also an inconvenience when the trees drop leaves around their properties: "We are all over 70-years-old and hard to pick up every day."

12411042-CG08-19

Geoff Wright says it's just a matter of time before looming gum trees over his home eventually topple.

He is one of a number of residents at the Selandra Rise Retirement Village in Clyde North who have called on Casey Council to take action.

However, the council has assured them the trees are "generally healthy and in a good condition" with only one tree requiring removal on Karabair Street after receiving a number of reports.

According to Mr Wright, all the trees are a major concern.

"Eventually they're going to get that big they'll end up falling over with the wind....all of them should be taken down," he said.

"One side of each tree has no branches on them due to the wind everyday blowing.

"The Bureau of Meteorology said wind gusts reached 65 km/h on Tuesday 12 February.

"It's a south-westerly wind that's pushing the trees towards our property," he added. "If it was just a westerly wind well that's fair enough it will blow the leaves up the street."

Mr Wright said leaves were blocking downpipes when it rains since he moved in three years ago.

"The only answer is to plant shrubs that don't lose their leaves like the gum trees do."

Casey manager of city presentation David Richardson said there may be some maintenance or clean-up required at times for those who live in urban environments with trees.

"Council believes this is balanced by the many aesthetic and environmental benefits they provide," he said.

Fear won’t define Andrew

By Brendan Rees While growing up in South Sudan, Andrew Gai feared being kidnapped by militants from another tribe.

"The children who were taken by these militants were used as slaves," he said.

"As a result, children in my village had to be in their homes before the sun goes down.

"Children were not allowed to go far away from the village although we had to look after our cattle, goats and sheep in the bushes," Mr Gai of Cranbourne said.

Since arriving in Australia 12 years ago, Mr Gai realised his fears back home could not interfere with his life anymore.

Next month, Mr Gai will be out of his comfort zone by abseiling 113 metres down the iconic St James building in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. The abseil is an Altitude Shift fundraiser event organised by Anglicare Victoria to raise much-needed funds for children in foster care.

Mr Gai said he used to climb up some tall trees in home village in South Sudan but those trees were not as tall as 27 storey building. "So definitely this is out of my comfort zone and I am trying not to think about it too much."

Mr Gai is a therapeutic practitioner at Anglicare Victoria, and says participating in the event is important for allowing children and young people in foster care know that "we as a community understand your fears."

"We are with you and we are grateful for the people, the families who have opened their doors and hearts to provide you a home and a family," he said.

"I encourage everyone to get on board in raising fund through the Altitude Shift and let's show our support to the children and young people in foster care.

"I now know that fears do not define our future. But this is only people with support and

Mr Gai recalled having fears about whether he would be accepted in his new home country: "Thankfully, I came across kind-hearted through my local church and in the community."

"After finishing my studies, I was very lucky to be employed by Anglicare Victoria were I felt supportive and valued," he said.

The event takes place on 29-30 March and anyone can take part in the event; there are no weight, fitness or experience requirements.

"We're pleased to see so many people taking on the challenge of Altitude Shift. By facing their fears, these participants are helping to raise much-needed funds to support children in foster care," Anglicare Victoria CEO Paul McDonald said.

The record number of participants Altitude Shift has recorded to date was in 2018, with a total of 148 participants with $170,000 also raised.

Andrew Gair will face a new fear of descending 27 floors from a Melbourne building.

She is an inspirational leader in the Afghani community encouraging women and girls to further their education and consider volunteer work in the South-East.

"It is wonderful to see them achieve their personal goals and see them and their families thrive. They are the true inspiration, not only to me but the whole of our community.

"I know that women have a lot more to offer than staying home and looking after the children. They can study and become anything they want," she added.

Applications are now open for funding through the City of Casey's annual Minor Capital Works at Community Facilities Program.

Community groups can apply for the grants through the 2019/20 program, to make improvements at local community facilities that will benefit current and future users.

Grants of up to $50,000 per project are available for eligible groups, across a maximum of three projects, or $75,000 in total.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon said the grants are a fantastic opportunity for local groups to access the funds they need to make much needed upgrades.

"These grants will enable local clubs and user groups to focus on delivering opportunities and experiences to the community, rather than funding repairs.

"It is so important that we support our community groups to maintain high quality and accessible facilities that encourage participation and inclusion," said Cr Stapledon.

Projects may range from minor amenity improvements to landscaping, security upgrades, installation of access ramps and court resurfacing, among others.

Applications can be made online and close on Friday 15 March 2019. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

FOCUS ON … BERWICK SHOW

Mayor says show is the go

By Cr Amanda Stapledon, City Of Casey Mayor The City of Casey is extremely proud to again be the major sponsor of the Berwick Show and congratulates everyone involved as this iconic event celebrates 170 years.

I am thrilled to see this event continue to thrive within our community.

The far-reaching history of the show is a testament to both the event itself and the hard work of the tireless volunteers who go above and beyond to bring the Berwick Show to life each year.

Many of you would have seen the show change and evolve over time as it continues to provide a weekend of fun-filled activities and entertainment across the two days.

This year the show will take over Akoonah Park in Berwick on the last weekend in February, so be sure to keep the date free for a day of family fun.

The 170th year of the show will add an extra element of excitement this year and I reminisce with pride on the various successful Berwick Shows that my fellow Councillors and I have been a part of.

Council will have a presence again this year, so be sure to pop by our exhibit to learn more about recycling, as well as upcoming engagement opportunities with the City of Casey.

As residents of Casey, our community is extremely fortunate to have an event such as this which gives people the chance to enjoy a variety of entertainment right on their doorstep.

There will be plenty happening around the show grounds, including rides, the wood chopping competition, petting zoos, show bags and much more.

Don’t forget to drop by the Country Wom-

Thank you to each of the volunteers and the entire committee for your dedication

each year and I wish you all the success for the 2019 Berwick Show.

Volunteers are heart and soul of show Melissa Hogg-Marshall has returned as the 2019 Berwick Show president.

In the show’s 170 year history there have been a few presidents that have remained in the role for more than one consecutive year.

“I’m very honoured to be doing a second year as president and I do love it,” Melissa said.

“Last year was just so good. I felt that we achieved a lot and we really gave the community a good show. And that’s what it’s all about; that’s what takes us all year to try and do - to give the community a great show and bring everyone together.”

Prior to her first year as president, Melissa had spent five years as a committee member, fulfilling roles as hospitality chairperson, junior vice-president and senior vice-president.

Having lived in the area for 46 years, she has fond memories of attending and competing in the show as a child and believes the show should preserve its strong agriculture and hor-

ticulture ties.

“Maintaining our agriculture and horticulture roots is one of the most difficult things to do,” Melissa admitted.

“But it’s extremely important because it brings people back to what the show is all about. So for us, it’s a real juggle to keep a balance of the agriculture side and the (carnival) side.

“It’s important for people and kids who don’t know about agriculture and horticulture to see it. Whether they’re interested or not, it’s important; it’s a basis of how we live.”

As one of the largest and longest running agriculture shows in Victoria, the Berwick Show relies on the hard work and dedication of an incredible group of volunteers.

Many committee members have taken on roles for numerous years; proudly demonstrating their ongoing commitment and enjoyment.

However, Melissa admits that in order for

the show to continue on for another 170 years, new volunteers are required.

“We’re always so happy to have people join the committee who have a passion for something - it can be anything. Because that’s one of our biggest challenges; succession planning,” Melissa said.

“It’s so rewarding to be a part of the committee ... you get to see thousands of happy faces out there, enjoying what we’ve been able to put together - it’s incredible. Year after year we never miss a beat ... so we need to keep that going but that means we need people to hand it over to.

“It could be someone who’s passionate about baking ... anything. We just need them to come in and give it a try.”

Anyone interested in volunteering or joining the show committee is encouraged to contact the show secretary on 0407 866 049.

Melissa Hogg-Marshall has returned as this year's show president.

“It’s an amazing achievement,” she said.

“This will be our fourth year doing the Kidding Around area and it’s just fabulous,” Mrs Hogg-Marshall said.

“Every year we try and build on it and add to the activities that the children can enjoy.

“This year there will be sand for them to play in, art and craft, animal interaction and of course there’s tea and coffee for mums and dads.”

Fireworks will once again be a major attraction on the Saturday night between 9.15 9.45pm.

Choosing the right learning environment for your child is one of the biggest decisions parents make. We encourage and welcome parents to participate in a school tour to decide for yourselves if our school feels like the right fit for your child.

We strive towards achieving academic improvement in all students.

Our students have access to a variety of specialist programs each week including PE, Music, ICT and the Arts. The school has ICT resources which are used to enhance but not replace learning. Our camping program is offered to students in grades 3-6. We provide a swimming program for all students in term 4 each year.

A diverse array of extra curricula activities are offered throughout the year. Students have the opportunities to access teacher led clubs and activities during recess and lunch times. Mad on Music is a music program which offers private and small group music lessons to families for a set fee at the school each week.

Our well-being program is led by a full time coordinator and is supported by a school chaplain.

At Cranbourne Primary School our students are involved in activities throughout the school to enhance positive relationships between students. Playground areas are open to all students which allows siblings and students across various ages to interact during recreation periods.

Quality and care are the hallmarks of a Hillcrest education.

Everything centres on having our students flourishing in life and learning, becoming people of vibrant faith and strong character, lifelong learners and active citizens with a heart to serve.

A leading provider of Christian education in Victoria, Hillcrest Christian College is a non-denominational College with an open enrolment catering for around 1400 students from Early Learning to Year 12. Our ‘One College - Two Schools’ structure consists Primary (Early Learning Centre & Prep to Year 6) and Secondary (Years 7 through to 12). Our well-appointed modern campus is uniquely located on an expansive 138-acre precinct that also accommodates the Ayr Hill Equestrian Centre, an Environmental Centre, and Rivercrest Christian College (IB School).

Whether they are participating in rich learning programs within the classroom, pursuing education in the outdoors, taking to the sports field, playing an instrument, or undertaking service to the wider community, every student at Hillcrest is challenged to pursue excellence and achieve their personal best but, just as importantly, to learn how to work collaboratively. Our secondary school offers a range of learning pathways that include VCE, VCAL, Introductory University and Tech School courses.

Our safe, caring and nurturing environment ensures that all students are provided with the opportunity to form lasting friendships, take risks, learn new skills, grow in compassion and courage and learn to benefit others. Together we learn what it is to love, obey and serve the saviour of the world, Lord Jesus Christ.

It is always our pleasure to meet with families who would like their children to experience and benefit from such educational quality and Christian care.

Awesome Orson stars

By Gerard Guthrie and Molly Haines Orson Allen celebrated the biggest win of his career on Saturday night, adding a deserved country cup triumph to his resume with a brilliant all-the-way victory in the Group 2 Spolly’s Syndication Cranbourne Cup Final (520 metres).

Trained by 25-year-old Correy Grenfell, Orson Allen was making his fourth appearance in a provincial Cup, having previously contested finals at Geelong (second), Bendigo (fourth) and Warragul (sixth).

Orson Allen’s previous feature titles were both won at Sandown in the Group 3 Shootout and Listed Australian Sprint.

“This is what we train for - to get the rewards like this,” Grenfell said.

The superbly-bred son of US sire, KC And All, and Group winner, Desalle Bale, Orson Allen was the fastest qualifier for the $47,000 to-the-winner Cranbourne Cup after a nearrecord 29.61-second heat victory just .01 outside Pop the Cork’s 520m benchmark.

Drawn in box three, Orson Allen was the $3.20 second elect, behind Seona Thompson’s $1.70 favourite Poke The Bear (box two), with Poke The Bear’s kennelmate Azkaban ($9.10) the only other runner at single figures.

Orson Allen came out running and Grenfell’s pre-race confidence was vindicated in breathtaking style as his greyhound opened up a race-winning lead in the back straight, going on to defeat Poke The Bear by more than four lengths in another scorching run of 29.77sec.

“We’ve been desperate to get an inside box with him,” said Grenfell.

“He’s been in plenty of Group races now and he probably should have won a few more than this. He’s got the ability.

“We wanted everything to go right like it did last week. We weren’t real confident we were going to win this one but on the box draw we were definitely a bit more confident going into the race than we were in a few other Group races. He jumped to perfection tonight and won the race.

“Poke The Bear is one of the best dogs going around at the moment and it’s good to see Orson Allen beat him - in that fashion too.”

There was more good news for Avalonbased Grenfell at The Meadows when Orson Allen was confirmed as a starter and drew ideally in box two for the Group 1 Temlee (525m) to be held on Saturday on the opening night of the Australian Cup Carnival.

“We could only have dreamt to have box two in a Temlee,” offered an upbeat Grenfell.

“If he pulls up well and everything goes according to plan this week, he’s going to be a big show.”

An ecstatic Correy Grenfell with his star Cranbourne Cup winner, Orson Allen.

Pictures: COURTESY OF CLINT ANDERSON AND GREYHOUND RACING VICTORIA Looking further into the future, Grenfell is optimistic about Orson Allen’s stud credentials.

“There’s been a few people after the race already ask for straws,” quipped Grenfell.

“He’s by KC And All and Desalle (Bale) on the dam side. She was Barcia Bale’s sister and she was a star in her own right, so I don’t think you can go past his breeding.”

Earlier on Cranbourne Cup night, the heavily-backed Boom Down careered away with the $10,000 to-the-winner Ram’s Security Victoria Cup over 699m.

Trained by Steve White at Buln Buln East, Boom Down relocated from NSW in late 2018 and was having just his fourth start in Victoria when sent out at $3.30 from box four in the Victoria Cup, with Hot Tip the $2.20 favourite.

Boom Down took the lead mid-race and couldn’t have been more impressive as he romped to victory more than eight lengths ahead of Hot Tip in 41.34sec. This is his seventh win from 24 starts and second from four appearances in Victoria.

The Cranbourne Cup was the finale of

Orson Allen produced a powerful performance to claim the Cup. the third annual Gippsland Carnival, which brought crowds to Gippsland greyhound tracks in Sale, Warragul and Cranbourne.

Although this year’s Traralgon Cup was

postponed due to track safety issues, the TRFM Gippsland Carnival was a huge success and the series has quickly become a staple of the Victorian greyhound racing calendar.

The local hopes that could line up in the All Star Mile

By Hayley Wildes The All Star Mile is the only horse race in Australia where the general public plays a role in choosing the final field of horses, and has a chance to win $250,000 along the way.

The world’s richest 1600-metre race, boasting a $5 million prize pool, is in its first year and will be held at Flemington Racecourse on 16 March.

There are three locally-trained horses to get behind.

Main Stage, O’Tauto and Mr Money Bags are all trained locally at the Cranbourne Turf Club and are among the nominated horses.

Main Stage, trained by Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young at Cranbourne, is part-owned by AFL superstar Dustin Martin and currently sits 20th in voting with just over 1200 votes.

O’Tauto is trained by Cranbourne-based trainer Greg Eurell, who has Olympic experience in equestrian, and currently sits 37th in voting with just over 500 votes.

Perhaps the pick of the locals is Mr Money Bags. Trained by Cranbourne-local Robbie Griffiths, Mr Money Bags is has over 3700 votes to sit seventh.

Griffiths spoke about Mr Money Bags and highlighted his strong form at Flemington. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Main Stage, right, is one of three local hopes in the All Star Mile field. 173483 “He’s a specialist at Flemington and he’s won a three-year-old feature in the Silver Bowl over 1600 metres, so we thought he was the right candidate to have a crack at the All Star

Mile,” he said.

“We’ve all got our fingers and toes crossed that he sneaks into the field and if he does, I’m sure he’ll give it a hell of a run because he’s got

such a good record at Flemington.”

Griffiths also spoke about the All Star Mile concept and the interest it has created.

“It’s incredibly exciting,” he said.

“The whole idea of the All Star Mile was to get a lot of people involved, talking and thinking about racing, so that’s why it’s an unusual structure where the public can vote in runners.

“Having that opportunity has enabled racing to have so much positivity in terms of talking about who’s going to get in and are they going to be good enough?”

Having grown up in Cranbourne and trained more than his fair share of horses at the Cranbourne Turf Club, Griffiths spoke about the world-class facilities that have helped him tremendously.

“We’re very lucky at Cranbourne and I’m probably biased, but I think it’s the best facility in Australia,” he said.

“It’s got so many great training tracks, natural sand tracks and all sorts of things - it’s just got absolutely everything you need and we’re close to all the main tracks, so it’s brilliant.”

Voting is crucial, with 10 out of the 14 horses to be selected by popular vote and the remaining four will be wildcard horses selected

by Racing Victoria. To vote, head to allstarmile. com.au - voting closes on 18 February at 12pm.

Swans fall short in thriller

By Nick Creely It came right down to the wire, but Nathan Lambden's whirlwind knock late on day two just wasn't enough for Casey-South Melbourne to hold on to a draw against Geelong at Casey Fields in the Saturday/Sunday fixture.

The Cats had control over large parts of the contest after being sent in to bat on day one, with wild weather preventing any play until 2.30pm.

Left-armer James Maxwell (3/53) broke through in his first over, removing opener Nick Browne, but out stode Cats skipper Eamonn Vines, who was perhaps given a life early after Maxwell appeared to have trapped the star bat in front, but the umpire didn't agree.

But the Cats made the most of their chances, to find some momentum and forge ahead.

The visitors got to stumps 4/166 off 56 overs, with Vines looking a class above, racing out to 74, and eyeing a century on the next morning.

Day two saw the Cats resume under grey skies, with skipper Vines picking up where he left off.

Left armer James Maxwell picked up his third wicket early after very nearly picking up one the ball before, breaking through the gate of Josh McDonald for 12 to give the home side a strong start.

While Vines made batting look easy on the other end as he continued to work the ball into gaps and put away the bad balls, Tim Ludeman copped a barrage of short balls early from Nathan Lambden, in an attempt to sway him into playing an expansive shot with two men out on the hook or pull, but quickly worked his way to 15.

But a stunning two-over patch from Jackson Fry (2/43) - replacing Lambden - saw the Swans wrestle back the momentum.

Fry hung one out wide to lure Ludeman into a false stroke, finding the edge to Dev Pollock behind the stumps in an excellent wicketmaiden to begin his day.

Jackson Fry impressed with a brilliant day two spell for the Swans. 190165 In the left-armer's next over, he completely destroyed the stumps of Dom McGlinchey after building some excellent pressure with his stump to stump line and length.

Despite the Cats falling to 7/216, Vines continued on his merry way, eventually crossing to yet another Premier century with an elegant clip off his toes.

With a declaration looming, Vines - and Brenton McDonald- upped the ante, quickly compiling 63 runs between them, and looked for the boundaries on a deck well suited to batting.

The outstanding late surge ended with a crunching six, with Vines declaring with his side on 7/279 off 79 overs, with the skipper ending on 122 off 236 balls and McDonald with an almost run a ball 33.

Handing the Swans a tricky 15-minute burst before lunch, The Cats very nearly had Ryan Quirk in the final over before the break, with the young opener giving a sharp chance to gully, but survived as the home side went in unscatched.

But constant wickets dented their progress after lunch, with Wells falling for 30, and Quirk for a very well-made 38, and despite the majority of batsmen getting starts, the Swans were well on their way to a loss.

At 9/177, the 103 runs needed to pull of vic-

tory seemed like an eternity away - put simply, as brave as Casey-South Melbourne have been for the majority of the season, it was a mountain too far to climb.

But Nathan Lambden had other ideas - he didn't want to just allow his side to just give up the points without at least making the Cats work for them.

In a stunning 94-run stand for the final wicket with Jackson Fry (a club record since moving to Casey), Lambden pumped out a breathtaking 69 (his first half-century at the level), sending 12 balls to the rope and another over the fence to get the Swans near enough to victory, or at the very least, a respectable draw.

The Cats eventually broke through, snaring Lambden in the dying moments of the match to seal the win, but it was a fine 90 minutes of batting that turned heads.

The fact that the Swans took until the very final over of the day, and could have nearly pulled off a remarkable victory is a testament to the 'never give up' attitude the club has deployed, but it'll go still go down as a potentially costly loss so close to finals.

Now sitting in ninth spot after holding a spot in the eight for so much of the season, the Swans need to find their groove with two matches left of the home and away season.

As of right now, the club's two new hardcourt courts are suitable for junior tournaments, but their eight synthetic turf courts are not.

"Our aim is to have enough courts so that we can run tournaments and give the kids in the South East a centre-point for tennis out here," Narre Warren Tennis Club president Neil Littlejohn said.

"We want to try to bring something in for our community, not just our club."

Having been at Sweeney Reserve for 15 years, the two resurfaced courts mark the first major works done to any of the courts and the club is thrilled to share the upgrade with the community.

Finals race isn’t over yet

By Russell Bennett and Hayley Wildes Both Kooweerup and Pakenham have been the benchmark first XI sides of the WGCA's top tier for years now.

The Demons have emerged victorious over the Lions in each of the past two grand finals - including the famous low-scoring thriller of 2016/17.

But it was the Lions who kick-started the newest chapter of the two clubs' famous rivalry with victory on home soil the year before in 2015/16.

And Saturday delivered a very real reminder that the Lions are capable of a repeat performance in this finals series.

The Demons entered Round 12 in a familiar position - atop the ladder - and would hardly be discouraged by their performance against the Lions. Champion sides, particularly of the calibre of Mark Cooper's group, don't let themselves rise and fall too much with the results of individual games.

But by contrast, the Lions would have reason to be buoyed by their own performance.

Lacking an out-and-out quick to spearhead the attack, Rob Elston's group relies on a real group effort with the ball in each game.

From a disastrous 6/51, the Lions recovered on day one to reach 192. It was made even more impressive given the calibre of the Kooweerup attack.

From part-way through the day until stumps the narrative changed drastically from the Lions looking down and out, to being up to their eyeballs in the fight.

The first clash of the season between the two sides was washed out, so this was their first real litmus test since last year's grand final.

On day two, Cooper and Chris O'Hara set the foundation of the Demons' chase with a 43-run stand.

But, uncharacteristically, Kooweerup wasn't able to truly build from it.

An under-the-weather Cooper was dismissed for 11 by Dale Tormey - who bowled an impressive 25 overs, taking 1/46 as a first change bowler - and the wickets continued to fall at a steady rate thereafter.

Ultimately, the visitors were dismissed for 161 in the 71st over with O'Hara top-scoring with 43.

Chris Smith (3/20 from 10 overs), Tormey, Sean Gramc (2/31 from his nine), and Jason Williams (3/31 from his 15) each had a telling impact for the Lions.

Dale Tormey impressed with the ball to take a key wicket, that of Kooweerup skipper Mark Cooper. 190144 But a clash between another two potential finalists couldn't have been more contrasting, with Clyde (9/91) stumbling over the line against a slumping Cardinia (75).

The Cougars resumed on day two at a nightmarish 4/27, staring down the barrel of an embarrassing result given the target they were set.

But despite losing a series of wickets throughout a tense period on the second day - even sliding all the way to 8/38 - they found it within themselves to claw their way to a crucial win.

Kane Avard scored what would surely be the best unbeaten 23 of his life so far - playing the anchor role and seeing off more than 75 deliveries - while Nick Sadler (21) and Liam Bennett (10) remained stoic at the death. Without them, the result would have been reversed.

It's that simple.

James Giertz (6/45) and Travis Wheller (2/24) were the shining lights with the ball for the Bulls, who nearly recorded an astonishing win.

Elsewhere, in another battle of the potential finalists, Tooradin (4/143) recorded a six-wicket win at home over Devon Meadows (138) off the back of an unbeaten captain's knock from Cal O'Hare (70), while in the battle to stave off relegation back to the District division, Merinda Park (3/239) took the upper hand courtesy of an impressive seven-wicket win against Upper Beaconsfield (8/238) and an unbeaten 111 to Daniel McCalman.

In District, Cranbourne Meadows suffered its first defeat of the season, going down to Officer.

The Bullants, in desperate need of a win to stay in the top four, produced their finest performance of the season to come away with a rousing win.

After dismissing the Rebels for just 90 runs on day one, the Bullants began day two at 5/101, eventually posting a total of 180.

Elsewhere, after restricting Clyde to 119 on day one, Cardinia entered day two at 6/65 with

Picture: ROB CAREW

plenty on the line.

Needing 55 runs to claim the win, the Bulls found it extremely tough going as Matthew Bayliss (3/33) claimed all of his wickets on day two.

Sitting precariously at 9/102 - still 17 runs short of Clyde's total - Cardinia needed a hero and one man rose to the occasion.

That man was Luke Turner. His composure and ability to steady the ship led the way, while Jack Glen (three not out) importantly stayed at the crease. Turner made a match-winning knock of 37 runs to guide Cardinia to a total of 129 in 41 overs and the win.

In other matches, Tooradin (219) was unable to defend its total on day two against an Emerald (5/223) team desperate for points to keep their finals hopes alive, and rain halted any chance Nar Nar Goon/Maryknoll had of taking the win over Carlisle Park.

Bloodhound hopes dashed as Berwick storms to victory

By Nick Creely It didn't take Berwick long to rattle through Mordialloc on day two of their DDCA Turf 1 clash at Arch Brown Reserve in wintry conditions, but it may very well be the firestarter that the Bears needed.

Crucially, the Bears all but sealed their spot in the four on Saturday, and effectively ended the season of the Bloodhounds and their chances of defending their premiership crown.

The Bloodhounds resumed at 5/104, and in a healthy position to chase down the Bears' 155 for victory and to draw level with the home side on points.

With opener Brendan Morris set on 60, the Bloodhounds entered the day full of confidence. But that was quickly extinguished, with Brendan Rose (2/26) breaking through immediately, forcing the edge of Morris into the safe hands of keeper Nathan Pilon before he could even add to his overnight score, a game changing moment from a man signed to deliver these kinds of moments.

Rose's stunning start continued, with Liam Bence falling on the very next ball, also to the sure hands of Pilon behind the stumps.

After the former Casey-South Melbourne star did the early damage, it was then Matt Chasemore (4/17) that delivered, with the skipper picking up the last three wickets cheaply to end the Bloodhounds on just 109, adding a mere five runs for the loss of five wickets in little over half an hour of play resuming to seal the win.

The loss leaves the Bloodhounds with a lot cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

DDCA great Steve Spoljaric skips down the track during his brilliant 89. 190166 Picture: GARY SISSONS of work to do and some results go their way, now sitting 12 points behind the Bears in fourth spot, while Chasemore's group move one step closer to finally securing their spot ahead of a big clash against Hallam Kalora Park.

The great Steve Spoljaric, meanwhile, delivered yet another match winning performance with the bat, amassing 89 in Springvale South's

win against St Mary's.

On a special day for the club, celebrating its 50 years as a cricket club, the Bloods surged to the top of the Turf 1 ladder, with plenty of past players and supporters settling in for an entertaining day watching them bat.

Set a challenging 236 for victory, the Bloods got off to a fine start with openers Nathan King (60) and Michael Vandort (18) putting on 61 for the first wicket, but Spoljaric was the key, helping his side recover somewhat from 3/112 to chase the runs four wickets down.

King in particular continued his electric form, sending another 11 balls to the fence, backing up his unbeaten century from the week prior to rattle past 500 runs for the season.

But it was Spoljaric who once again shone, sending eight balls to the boundary and three sailing over the rope during his brilliant knock, while Jack Sketcher also provided valuable support with an unbeaten 40 to work his way into some handy form leading into finals.

Spoljaric's reign of dominance over the association just continues to grow, with the 41-year-old now almost crossing 6000 runs in the DDCA, and a remarkable sixth Wookey Medal in well within reach.

Hallam Kalora Park's hopes of taking out the minor premiership are well and truly alive after a stunning win over Buckley Ridges at Park Oval.

The Hawks are just one point from second and six points from the top after holding their nerve to chase down the Bucks' target. And they are certainly a side to keep an eye on, and

crucially, seem to be peaking at just the right time of the season.

Resuming at 1/79, still needing 103 runs for victory against the home side, Ben Hillard (67 off 217 balls) and Jagveer Hayer (40 off 111) kept their composure, nudging the Hawks to 148 before Hayer's dismissal.

Hillard's grit and determination to not just give up his wicket was evident, chewing up almost five hours of batting to grind the Bucks into the ground without one of its premier quicks, Daniel Watson.

Despite losing a couple more wickets in quick succession, the Hawks scrapped over the line with six wickets to spare in a crucial win for the club.

With seamer Jurgen Andersen finally making his return from a nasty injury picked up just before Christmas, the Bucks kept things tidy, but just couldn't find the breakthrough when needed, with medium pace Susa Pradeep (2/42) the only to take multiple wickets.

In the final game of the round, Heinz Southern Districts drew with North Dandenong at Reedy Reserve.

Needing 213 for victory after a sparkling day one century to Cobras champion Michael Davies, the Maroons were in a spot of bother early, falling to 4/44 after Suraj Randiv (5/62) injected his class onto the contest.

Skipper Asfan Thajudeen (47) and Syed Mehmood (40) fought extremely hard to wrestle back the momentum, and their patience and grit paid dividends, with weather intervening with the home side needing just a further two wickets to win.

Goliath turns the tables CRANBOURNE BOWLS In Division 2 it was a case of David versus Goliath with Cranbourne playing away against ladder leaders Keysborough and with Cranbourne hitting the lead with two ends to play it was an opportunity to pull off the upset of the year.

Unfortunately, Cranbourne had to suffer a long trip home losing by just 2 shots in the end and another opportunity lost.

Good news for team 3 was skip Sofio Raiti pulling off another huge win this time by 24 shots which will please his many fans who have been watching him with great interest during the year. Sofio is becoming more like a bowls pop star these days.

Side 1 Division 2 Despite the wet and windy conditions the Cranbourne team was in great spirit going into this match. Sure they were up against ladder leaders Keysborough but the team had nothing to lose and all four rinks played some great bowls and were unlucky to lose.

Cranbourne hit the lead with two ends to go and were well placed with bowls in the head leaving the opposition skip the only option but to play a Hail Mary shot, picking up the kitty into the ditch and winning the match.

Skip Frank Byrne continued his great form with excellent support from his team mates, John McKenna and Shane Morrison who put in some great bowls all day and won by 6 shots.

Cranbourne 69 (4 points) lost to Keysborough 71.

Side 2 Division 3 Last week it was a win by 12 shots but this week it was a win by 18 shots and Skip Steve Hickson and his crew of Bill Bradbury, Brian Biasci and Stan Myers were all smiles after the game. That win was enough to give the side victory by just 3 shots thanks to the relief of the other rinks in the team. Cranbourne 85 (14 points) defeated Chelsea 82.

Side 3 Division 5 Bowls pop star sensation, Skip Sofio Raiti has done it again winning by a massive 24 shots which will no doubt please his many fans. How does he do it? Nobody knows, but the club selectors just hope he continues to do it. What a season Sofio has had. Also an honourable mention to his crew of Gerry Dudink, Bob Scott and Joy McLisky who all gave Sofio great support and all shared in the enjoyment of the win. Cranbourne 95 (16 points) defeated Churchill Waverley 58.

Side 4 Division 7 Club legend and life member Stan Burnett and his team of Bruce Harper, Derek Maguire and Norm Coley won by 15 shots which was a great performance that tied the scores at 68 each against Keysborough in a very exciting game. The team was happy that they all played at their best. Cranbourne 68 (9 points) tied with Keysborough 68.

Side 5 Six a side Skip Mick Feeley and his rink of Brian Hall and Stan Williams were in great form winning by 14 shots but that was not enough to bridge the gap going down by 5 shots in another close game. Cranbourne 36 (2 points) lost to Chelsea 41.

Ladies Division 1 Despite the scores being level at the lunch break Cranbourne has suffered another loss this time to Montmorency by 22 shots. The form lapse has been very disappointing plunging the side from top of the ladder a few weeks ago to fourth. This week they play Clayton at home and they will need to improve if they have aspirations of playing in finals with only 3 matches remaining. Cranbourne Ladies 43 (0 points) lost to Montmorency 65.

MOTORING

Plug in and drive away

By Ewan Kennedy Hyundai Ioniq is the South Korean marque’s indication of the immediate future in clean running cars. It comes in three stages of technology: The 2019 Ioniq Hybrid is powered primarily by a petrol engine, with a battery-powered electric motor providing assistance as required. Regenerative braking allows the hybrid system to recover much of the kinetic energy that is lost in conventional vehicles, using it to charge the high-voltage battery.

In this mechanical layout the Hyundai is similar to the Toyota Prius models we have seen in Australia for many years now.

Next up the rung is the Ioniq Plug-in. Again it combines a petrol engine with an electric motor. It can make electric-only trips of up to 63 kilometres. It can be plugged in to charge the high-voltage battery.

At the top of the technology tree is the flagship Ioniq Electric, it's a pure electric car with a real-world range of about 230 km and the capability for charging its high-voltage lithiumion polymer battery to 80 percent capacity in approximately 23 minutes.

Every 2019 Hyundai Ioniq is available in Elite and Premium trim levels, and each boasts safety, convenience and driver appeal familiar from Hyundai’s conventional-engine line-up.

We have previously tested the hybrid model, this week’s test was in the Ioniq Plug-in in Premium trim.

Lines of the Hyundai Ioniq are sleek and clean and don't make the mistake crying out, “I am different” as do the Toyota Prius and Nissan Leaf for example.

The shape not only pleases us, but also people who are far better qualified. Hyundai Ioniq has won the 2017 Green Good Design Award

Lines of the Hyundai Ioniq are sleek and clean and don't make the mistake of crying out, I am different. from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

Digital instrumentation can be customised to the driver’s desires. The infotainment screen is an 8.0-inch unit and is clear and easy to read and use.

Satellite navigation, Apple Car Play and Android Auto are standard. An Infinity premium audio system with eight speakers and external amplifier offers good quality sound.

Hyundai Ioniq hybrid has a 1.6-litre petrol engine, a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor and 1.56 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery. The powerplant is mated with a six-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.

In a high-tech car like the Hyundai Ioniq it's

Selected

no surprise the latest in active safety features are standard. These include electronic stability control, ABS brakes with brake assist and electronic brake force distribution; autonomous emergency braking; adaptive cruise control; lane keep assist; blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.

A reversing camera with dynamic guidelines is complemented by front and rear parking sensors.

On the passive safety front are airbags for the driver and front passenger, a knee airbag for the driver, side airbags for driver and front passenger and side curtain units front and back.

The Ioniq drives pretty much like any other car … except for the near silence when running purely on electric power. It takes off smoothly and responds instantly to the throt-

tle. Even when the petrol engine joins the action the noise level is only a little higher.

We only had one occasion to charge the Ioniq Plug-in. That was at the Pacific Fair shopping centre close to home. We spent less than an hour there to do some grocery shopping and enjoy a cup of coffee and during that time we gained a further 15 kilometres of driving range. (Hint: a further benefit of the PacFair charging spot is that it's only a few metres away from the entrance to the shops.)

Starting with a full petrol tank and drive battery our test Ioniq averaged just 3.2 litres per hundred kilometres during the 325 kilometres of our test. Much of that was on the motorway, where a hybrid is not at its best, which makes it even more impressive.

The ride/handling equation leans towards the comfort side, which makes sense in a family hatchback. Steering has less feel than we like, other than that the Ioniq is a most pleasant drive.
