WYNDHAM Central College’s Director of Science, Michael Germano, is excited about the school’s recently completed science building. After years of struggling with badly damaged facilities, the school formerly known as Galvin Park is gradually bouncing back. While many buildings are just starting to take shape after the school received a multi-million dollar redevelopment, the science wing has signalled a bright future.

West ferry bid By XAVIER SMERDON FORMER Victorian Premier Steve Bracks has called for a start to planning for a ferry service to run out of the Western Suburbs of Melbourne. Mr Bracks was in Werribee last week to address 130 members of the Committee for Wyndham, discussing the challenges and opportunities facing the West. Mr Bracks said with the growing number of people moving to the West, a ferry service would be vital. “It has to happen really with the population growth we’re talking about,” Mr Bracks said.

“I mentioned before about the doubling of the population in this region. That will build a demand which can’t be met by just road and rail, and having an integrated ferry system will be built around that in the future.” Mr Bracks said planning for the ferry service should start as soon as possible. “I think it’s just going to come when the population demand is big enough and therefore it’s going to drive the economics of it,” he said. “But we should start planning for it now because it is going to be vital in the future. “I was very impressed with what happened in the city of Brisbane on the

Brisbane River with the ferry service. “It was lampooned as something that would be a white elephant. It’s now extraordinarily popular and it’s probably the best way to get around Brisbane. “It could happen here as well and we need to take a risk on that at some point.” The idea of a ferry service running from the Western Suburbs has been floated by the Liberal Government for several years but it has been consistently knocked back by Labor politicians. Mr Bracks also supported the possible creation of a committee for the West which would advocate for investment and change in the region.

“I don’t think it would hurt, and it would seem logical and sensible and I think it’s got more chance of success here than any other place,” Mr Bracks said about the possible committee. “Whatever the organisation is, working together and having a clear and cohesive plan and prosecuting that is going to be important. “If that is the vehicle, that would be a very good vehicle for it I would have thought.” In June last year Star reported that the Committee for Wyndham was positioning itself to become a West-wide advocacy group. Mr Bracks was Premier of Victoria from 1999 to 2007.

I HAVE received several emails regarding the new speed zones in many of our streets. Most have been downgraded from 70 to 60 kmh which makes sense to me except for one thing. Drivers are completely ignoring the new limit. I am constantly being overtaken by cars when I am sitting on 60 or being tailgated. In some cases the new speed has actually made it more dangerous with drivers weaving between lanes. I heard from one reader who lives on a feeder road to the freeway who is really worried about a car ending up in his lounge room as a result of the speed some cars are driving in his street, his neighbour has relocated his children from the bedroom at the front of the house to the back. While Old Geelong Rd has become a bit of a car park in recent times I am pleased to see lights going in at the intersection with Forsyth Rd. Hopefully that will stop further fatalities and accidents in that area. THE debate continues over whether Werribee is a good or bad name, the feedback has been divided with many readers telling me that Werribee has a long history that we should be proud of and I can’t argue with that. Others have the view that the stigma still colours people’s perception of the area. I have been accused of being a whinger who complains about everything and that I should move out of the area and live with other like minded snobs somewhere else. Opinions are just that, and everyone is entitled to have one, and you can agree or disagree. One of the great things about where we live is we all have that right. I welcome your personal opinions but not your personal attacks. POINT Cook is growing at an incredible rate and one reader pointed out to me that it is sadly lacking one very vital service - it needs a police station. I can only hope this happens quicker than it took Werribee to get a second station. WEERAMA and the Point Cook Air Show are both on this weekend and I hope they are both successful events.

Gun, drugs seized By XAVIER SMERDON THREE Western Suburbs men have been arrested by police as part of a major raid against members of the Hells Angels Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. Victoria Police’s Echo Taskforce arrested 13 members and associates of the bikie gang following the execution of search warrants on Wednesday 12 February. Logo Af-

uie, a 27-year-old man from Tarneit was charged with trafficking a commercial quantity of a drug of dependence, six counts of trafficking a drug of dependence and six counts of possessing a drug of dependence. Cuong Hoang, a 28-year old man from St Albans was also charged with four counts of trafficking a commercial quantity of a drug of dependence and four counts of possessing a drug of dependence.

Michael Barbaro, a 54-year-old man from Sydenham was charged with two counts of trafficking a drug of dependence, two counts of possessing a drug of dependence and possessing a firearm. The men faced an out of sessions court hearing last week and were remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court. The men were arrested in Taylors Lakes following a three-month

investigation into drug and weapon trafficking. Detective Inspector Ian Campbell said more than 700 grams of amphetamines and a large, military grade gun had been seized. “If you’re actively involved large-scale commercial drug trafficking and firearms trafficking, then Victoria Police will take a very strong stance against you,” Det Insp Campbell said.

Passengers on the rise By XAVIER SMERDON THE State Government has claimed that the West’s newest train station has done its job of taking cars off Wyndham’s roads. According to the Minister for Public Transport, Terry Mulder, more than 2,000 residents a day have been using Williams Landing Station and new local bus routes in the first six months of operation. Mr Mulder said the success of the new station and bus network showed the Victorian Government’s desire to meet the transport needs of major growth areas. “More than 2000 people are using the new station each day as well as the surrounding transport infrastructure, with PTV data showing over 80 per cent of customers are satisfied with the service,” Mr Mulder said. “The new infrastructure has led to around 200 new train customers now choosing public transport as their mode of travel.” Member for Western Metropolitan Region, Bernie Finn, said around two thirds of these people formerly used their cars. “This shows we’re reducing the number of cars travelling to the city each day,” Mr Finn said. Member for Western Metropolitan Region Andrew Elsbury said it was great to see that approximately 3370 people were using the new Point Cook bus network each weekday, an increase of almost 80 per cent, while weekend travel had increased by around 50 per cent. “The number of train customers travelling to the new station by bus is three times higher than bus access across the rest of the train network, demonstrating that people are using the new bus services” Mr Elsbury said. “To improve bus operations and better service the local community, we have made a number of minor timetables changes from 27 January, and PTV will continue to evaluate and review the new bus network in 2014,” Mr Mulder said.

Twenty years on, Laura returns to Mercy By XAVIER SMERDON TWO decades after becoming the second ever baby born at Werribee Mercy Hospital, Laura Vranic returned to her birthplace last week to celebrate being one of the first in a long line of people. Ms Vranic was born on Tuesday 21 June in 1994, the day Werribee Mercy started delivering babies at its present location. The hospital celebrated its 20th anniversary last Wednesday, just

days before it will open a new twostorey building. Since Ms Vranic was born, tens of thousands of other babies have opened their eyes for the first time at the same hospital. She said her parents had always told her about her special birth and she has kept a newspaper from the day. “I think it’s pretty crazy,” Ms Vranic said. “I plan to get my own place soon with my boyfriend and eventually

have my own children at this hospital.” With increased investment projected for maternity services in years to come, the hospital’s 2013 total of 2394 births is set to grow. The population of the Wyndham area has risen dramatically during the lifespan of Werribee Mercy from about 70,000 in 1994 to almost 190,000 in 2014. Such growth has brought a greater need for health services, prompting the development of the new

Catherine McAuley Building. Mercy Health Executive Director Health Services Dr Linda Mellors said the building would provide extra services. “This is a fantastic opportunity for people to have rehabilitation services close to their homes and a wonderful addition to the services we provide at the hospital,” Dr Mellors said. “We look forward to increasing our services in the years and decades to come.”

UP TO 230,000 litres of recycled water will now be held at Galvin Park - in a new underground tank. Built at a cost of $220,000 the recycled water tank is connected to City West Water’s recycled water pipeline. Councillor Peter Maynard said the recycled water would be used to keep the soccer pitches and main AFL field green, even in the driest months. “The tank is crucial for reducing our reliance on using potable (drinkable) water to keep sports fields green. The more we can switch to making use of recycled water, the better for our environment and our hip pockets,” Cr Maynard said. “Recycled Water is a more environmentally friendly and, by connecting to recycled water, sports grounds are less likely to suffer during a drought or through summer. There is also a cost benefit as recycled water is cheaper than potable water.”

Council comment sought WESTERN Suburbs residents are being urged to have their say about proposed regulations that will ensure an unprecedented level of accountability and transparency of public money spending and performance by local councils. Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell said the proposed changes to local government regulations, which passed through parliament, would begin a new approach to local government performance reporting. “Residents and ratepayers will be able to see how their council is performing compared to other councils. “This will help drive improvements across the local government

sector,” Mrs Powell said. “Victoria is leading the way in boosting the performance of local government and this next step is to make sure we have the right level of regulation without unnecessary burden on councils. “Comment is now invited on the draft regulations and the expected impact they will have on each council as well as the benefits to each municipality. Copies of the proposed Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 and the accompanying Regulatory Impact Statement are available at www. dpcd.vic.gov.au/localgovernment

Belinda Xerri is hoping her photography career will blossom. 115078

Belinda’s snap happy By XAVIER SMERDON A WERRIBEE woman with a love for all things photography is hoping to continue her father’s legacy and create her own one in the process. Belinda Xerri first picked up a camera seven years ago when her father Joseph passed away as a way to help her cope. “I used it as an emotional release and then when I starting snapping photos that turned out okay I thought it

would be something that I could actually do,” Ms Xerri said. “At the time I didn’t want to talk to people about how I was feeling so taking photos was a way for me to express myself.” Belinda’s father was a designer who enjoyed taking photographs of his garden, but he would never let his daughter play with his camera. So when he passed away Belinda picked up his camera

and headed to the State Rose Garden in Werribee to start capturing her father’s favourite subject. “He liked capturing things in photos so that he would always remember them,” she said. “I think he would be proud of me and of how far I’ve taken my own photography.” At just 21-years-old Belinda has been running her own photography business for around five years and while she loves taking shots

in Werribee South she said she would like her skills to take her around the world. “I would love to be just doing this full time and to have a massive studio where everyone knows my name and they come in to get their family photos done,” she said. “It would be great if I could travel the world with it.” For more information visit www.bellephotography.net

Water atlas goes under the ground SOUTHERN Rural Water is giving the Werribee community, including environmental and other interested groups, a chance to learn more about groundwater and road test a draft groundwater atlas. The Port Phillip and Westernport Atlas will provide information about the local groundwater cycle, the aquifers of the region, how groundwater is used, and how it is managed in the area. The draft makes use of new mapping technology to present information in a way that has never been seen before in the region. Southern Rural Water will hold a free workshop on Friday 28 March at the Italian Social Club Sala Room, 601 Heaths Rd, Werribee from 1-4pm. General Manager of Groundwater and Rivers, Craig Parker, said not only would participants get a chance to use the draft atlas and provide feedback, but they would also be able to register to receive their own copy of the atlas once it was complete. “We have developed the draft atlas in consultation with a whole range of different people and groups in the region who are interested in groundwater,” Mr Parker said. “It’s very easy to read, and it gives everyone a good understanding of the state of groundwater and its use in the region. “We are keen to road test the draft atlas with people from the region interested in groundwater, and get their feedback. “We’d also like to hear from them about current and future management issues.” For more information contact Southern Rural Water on 1300 139 510.

Point history takes flight By XAVIER SMERDON UP TO 50,000 people are expected to flock to Point Cook this weekend to help celebrate the suburb’s place in Australia’s military history. This Saturday will mark exactly 100 years since Lieutenant Eric Harrison flew a Bristol Box -kite aircraft at the Point Cook airfield and entered himself into the history books. It was the first flight of an Australian military aircraft and signified the beginning of what would become 100 years of military aviation in the country. Air Commodore Phil Byrne,

the head of special events at the Royal Australian Air Force, told Star the number of tickets to the event had been limited and 50,000 people were likely to make the journey to the Point Cook airbase. “This marks an extremely important occasion in Australia’s military history,” Air Comm Byrne said. “This is not the biggest event we’ve ever organised but it is certainly the most significant.” Air Comm Byrne said the event would show the history, evolution and future of the Australian air force, with everything

from a Bristol Box Kite to unmanned drones. Air Comm Byrne said Point Cook would forever be considered home of military aviation in Australia. Everyone who buys a ticket to the two-day event will also receive free public transport within Melbourne and Air Comm Byrne encouraged people attending to avoid bringing their car. The Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show will be held 1 to 2 March 2014 at RAAF Williams, Point Cook. For more information visit www.airforce.gov.au

Rage warning By NICOLE VALICEK HOBSONS Bay Police have warned motorists to keep calm on the roads with an increased number of road rage incidents reported over the last few months. Hobsons Bay Acting Inspector Jenny Wilson said police are concerned with the number of road rage incidents that have become a trend in recent months. “Police are concerned in relation to increased incidents of road rage that seem to be instigated along the Princes Highway between Altona and Wyndham,” Insp Wilson said. Insp Wilson said an in-

you’re required to drop speed to 80km/h ... it can be congested.” Last Wednesday a road rage incident resulted in a significant physical confrontation after a driver was followed by another car when they exited the freeway. Insp Wilson said if you are in a dispute with someone not to engage with them, or if followed drive to a public place or your nearest police station and not to your home. “You should not drive to an isolated location, I wouldn’t advocate getting out of the car at all if feeling scared or apprehensive. Drive to a public place, stop and call triple-zero.”

creased usage of the freeway and road works that have been in place for some time could be prompting the incidents. “It appears road users are getting frustrated.” She said a number of incidents started by vehicles travelling too close to the car in front of them and vehicles cutting each other off. “This can result in incidents occurring where vehicle occupants have disputes that roll into physical assaults.” “People need to consider there is road works all way to Altona and Wyndham and keep in mind during road works

A FACTORY fire in Altona North that is believed to be not suspicious has caused more than $1 million damage. Emergency services were called to Dome Garden Supplies on Pinnacle Rd, near Grieve Parade, just before 8pm last Tuesday. It took more than 80 firefighters more than an hour to bring the blaze under control with the ferocious blaze gutting the inside of the factory. Firefighters were still mopping up the scene on Wednesday before investigators arrived

in the morning to establish how the fire started. According to local police, the fire is not suspicious. MFB assistant chief officer Ken Brown said when fire crews first arrived, they were met with explosions and fierce flames. “There was some explosions initially when firefighters first arrived,” he said. “The fire was very fierce and the smoke could be seen travelling over the West Gate Bridge.” The MFB issued a watch and act warning at 10.30pm on Tuesday for the suburbs of Yar-

raville, Kingsville, Spotswood, South Kingsville, West Footscray, Newport, Tottenham, Brooklyn, Altona North, Braybrook and Sunshine West. Fire crews worked hard to prevent the flames spreading to adjoining properties. Director of Unique Bodyworx on Pinnacle Rd, Clen Kipp, arrived at work to a “chaotic scene” the next morning. “I arrived the next morning to chaos, there was road blockages, there was just so much going on,” he said. Anyone with information is asked to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The cast of Better Homes and Gardens will be filming their TV show in Wyndham soon. 115332

Hoppers home to garden show By XAVIER SMERDON HOPPERS Crossing has been chosen as the setting for a TV show that helps make life in the suburbs even better. Lifestyle program Better Homes and Gardens will spend three days filming an entire episode in Wyndham later this month. From 28 February to 2 March the entire cast of the show, including Johanna Griggs, Dr Harry Cooper, Rob Palmer, “Fast Ed” Halmagyi, Tara Dennis and Jason Hodges, will meet with residents while filming. Tara and Jason will make over a kitchen, bedroom and courtyard to be constructed in the Hoppers Crossing Bunnings store.

Graham will demonstrate inventive new ways to grow vegetables and present the most sought after plants of this year. Dr Harry will display increasingly popular peculiar pets and take a trip out to the Werribee Open Range Zoo. The show’s host, Johanna Griggs, said she was looking forward to filming in Wyndham. “The whole team is ridiculously excited about meeting the Hoppers Crossing locals and to get an opportunity for us to thank them for watching and supporting our show,” Johanna said. “We hope we get to meet as many of them as we can, and that they get to see how the show is made, meet their favou-

rite presenters and enjoy a great day out. There will be lots going on.” Crowd favourite Dr Harry said he was excited to return to Werribee Zoo. “I love the segments where we get to meet the fans. I’ll be showcasing the increasingly popular peculiar pets and heading out to Werribee Zoo. It’s a Zoo like no other and I can’t wait explore it again,” Dr Harry said. Residents are encouraged to attend with their families to meet the team and see all the action at Bunnings Warehouse Hoppers Crossing, 221-231 Old Geelong Road. The Bunnings Warehouse Hoppers Crossing episode will air on Friday 11 April.

Storm inspires safer schools By XAVIER SMERDON A HOPPERS Crossing school is using sport to teach its students the importance of being kind to one another. The Grange P-12 College’s Callistemon Drive campus hosted big name players from the Melbourne Storm rugby league team, including captain Cameron Smith, earlier this month. The school’s physical education co-ordinator Adam Clarke told Star around 500 students from grades three to six would be talked to about bullying. The event was part of the Rugby League’s Tackling Bullying campaign.

“Our school values are respect, learning and working together so this ties in really well with what we try to teach our students,” Mr Clarke said. “Any time that someone influential that the kids look up to talks to them about something serious I think the kids will react really well.” The visit came as the Federal Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne, encouraged schools to take part in the National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence on 21 March. “There’s nothing more important than ensuring that young Australians get a great

education. Central to this is ensuring that when students are at school they feel safe and secure and can focus on their studies,” Mr Pyne said. “It’s also a great opportunity for schools to involve students and the community in activities and events that promote a safe and supportive school environment.” For more information about the NRL’s Tackle Bullying campaign visit www.rloc.com. au.

A WERRIBEE couple gave police the surprise of their life when they pulled them over for a random breath test last week. Last Wednesday traffic police were manning a booze bus in West Melbourne when they flagged a Toyota hatch-back to pull over. The car pulled into the booze bus line at about 6.15pm. As the two male police officers from the Melbourne Highway Patrol were walking over to the car, they discovered the front seat female passenger was in labor. “The members immediately notified paramedics, who arrived at the booze bus a short time later,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said. “The male driver and his 35-year-old female partner, both from Werribee, were taken to St Vincent’s Hospital.”

Walk in their shoes By YASEMIN TALAT THE team at The Body Shop in Werribee are gearing up to walk in the shoes of the women and girls in developing countries struggling with poverty. Registrations for international aid organisation CARE Australia’s 2014 Walk In Her Shoes Challenge opened this month with ambassador Chrissie Swan the first to register. The whole team at Werribee’s The Body Shop, who are official sponsors, have followed in her footsteps and registered for the second time this year to help raise money and awareness to help lift women in developing countries out of poverty. Assistant store manager Natalie Arena purchased her pedometer and has started her challenge of walking 10,000 steps a day in the lead up to the event together with her colleagues. “I know how difficult it is and I’m having more of an understanding of what these women and young girls have to go through just to get fresh water each day,” she said. Ms Arena said she hoped to help raise awareness amongst her customers by getting them to listen and connect with the stories and information the team will be sharing about the campaign. “With our customers its more about raising awareness, what we will be asking customers to do is buy a pedometer so they too can keep track of how many steps they want to achieve each day and all those proceeds go to the CARE

Limited Stock Natalie and her team at The Body Shop in Werribee Plaza are aiming to raise $500 for the Walk In Her Shoes Challenge; donations can be made online or in store. 114324 Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI Australia,” Ms Arena said. “Why this is a little bit closer to me is because I have travelled to a few poorer countries and you walk away and realise who much you take for granted,” she said. “People can put themselves in these people shoes and try to help make a difference in the world.” Walkers raising just $35 can provide seeds and tools for a

family to grow food closer to their homes. The Walk In Her Shoes Challenge takes place from March 17 to 23, and participants can choose to walk 25km, 50km or 100km over the course of the week. For more information,to register or donate visit www. walkinhershoes.org.au or purchase a starter pack at The Body Shop.

Michael Germano shows off the new science wing. 115043

Tuesday, 25 February, 2014 Page 11

Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI

Science lab sets new heights By XAVIER SMERDON A LITTLE over two years ago the students from one of Wyndham’s oldest schools were struggling to learn in an environment that included cavedin roofs and dangerous black mould. But last week Michael Germano, the Director of Science at Wyndham Central College, formerly Galvin Park, proudly showed off the first part of the school’s redevelopment. The science wing features a state-of-the-art chemistry lab, a biolab, a physics lab and even robotics centre. It also has a “Marie Curie Discovery Space”, which acts as the centre of the wing and in

the future it will have a handson bio-dome which will allow students to grow and examine their own unique garden. Mr Germano first started teaching at the school in 2011, just months before it became known that there had been severe damage to some of the buildings and it was flagged as uninhabitable. He said the turnaround after the school received $14 million for a rebuild from the State Government had been inspiring to see. “It’s unbelievable. Just after the building was finished and the kids saw it for the first time one of them turned to me and said that he now knew what it was like to be a rich kid,” Mr

Germano said. “It’s really sad that they haven’t had those kinds of opportunities before but now there are no excuses anymore.” Mr Germano said the science wing would also have benefits for other schools in the area, with Wyndham Central running education programs for primary schools in the new building. “I’m very passionate about science and getting the kids excited about science,” he said. “This building is going to create a lot of opportunities for the kids.” The rest of the school’s redevelopment is expected to be finished by the end of this year.

Youth urged to join Parliament YOUNG Victorians who want to stand up, speak out and be heard at the highest levels of State Government are encouraged to apply for the YMCA’s Youth Parliament program. Youth Affairs Minister Ryan Smith urged young people aged between 16-25 years interested in politics to apply before 7 March. The 2014 Youth Parliament will sit in the first week of July. “During the nine-day training program participants are taught about public speaking, leadership skills, teamwork and provides an opportunity for

young people to speak up for what they believe in,” he said. “For the last three days of the program, participants take over Parliament, debating bills in the Parliamentary Chambers before handing them over for Government consideration.” Western Metro MP Bernie Finn said the Youth Parliament program would give up to 120 young people a fantastic introduction into the workings of Parliament.

Chamber takes humble picnic to new heights By XAVIER SMERDON WYNDHAM residents are being encouraged to experience Werribee’s newest event which will see music, picnics and children’s entertainment all combine to create the perfect evening. The Werribee Chamber of Commerce is organising the Picnic in the Park in conjunction with Wyndham Council’s Busk at Dusk event to be held on 28 February. President of the Chamber and owner of Tonia T Boutique in Watton St, Tonia Tribe, told

Star the event was all about creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the centre of Werribee. She said the event, which would be held on the lawn next the Werribee cenotaph, would act as a preamble to the Weerama Festival and it would hopefully create a similar community feeling as Yarraville’s iconic pop up park. “We’re basically just hoping that people come down to the park, bring a picnic if they want to, and enjoy some really nice music,” Ms Tribe said.

“It’s about creating a really great vibrancy and energy in the town. We want to have an event that has a bit of a cultured angle to it.” Ms Tribe said she hoped the event would be the start of something bigger and it would be welcomed by members of the community. Picnic in the Park will be held on Friday 28 February from 6-9pm and it will include live entertainment from buskers, a giant chess set and a giant connect four set, games of bocce and face-painting for children.

When: Sunday 2nd March Where: Werribee South Foreshore Boat Ramp, Beach Road, Werribee South VIC 3030 Time: 10am – 12pm What to bring: Gloves, a hat, sturdy shoes and a drink bottle To register and for details about all the Clean Up Australia Day sites within Wyndham City visit: www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au

Aircraftman Deng Alier was awarded the Most Outstanding Airman from RSL’s Hellenic sub branch in 2012. 115040

discipline, respect, and leadership. Most importantly though, I wanted to thank Australia as a nation, and I thought I could do this best by serving my new country in the RAAF.” Deng found that his air force training brought many personal benefits. “Training was excellent, very well conducted throughout by experienced and wellqualified trainers. I gained confidence, discipline, and knowledge. I believe the training brought out the best in me.” On Saturday 21 May 2012, Deng Alier received an award for the ‘Most Outstanding Airman’ from the Hellenic sub branch of the RSL. The night commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Crete, in which Australian forces played a significant role. The singular honour bestowed upon Aircraftman Alier would be a huge accomplishment for anyone, but in his case it is the culmination of a remarkable story. Receiving the award has been a peak experience of his air force career to date.

“I’m so honoured to have received this award which is one of the most historic in Australian Greek relations, and Australia as a nation. I’m so thankful to my unit, Number 21 Squadron for giving me this great opportunity in life,” he says. Number 21 (City of Melbourne) Squadron is based at Point Cook and has a number of permanent and reserve members in its team. Deng looks forward to the future experiences his air force career will bring, and he is proud to be part of the air force team. “I will say that the most important thing, that I have found to be the highlight for me, is that the RAAF accepts you for who you are, not what you have, or where you came from. The spectacular Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show at RAAF Williams will be at Point Cook on the first and second of March 2014. More information about the Air Show is at www.airforce.gov.au/airshows.

THE Royal Air Force has many Victorian locals among its ranks. One of these Victorian locals is Aircraftman Deng Alier. Deng has an amazing story, having first arrived in Australian in 2003 as a refugee from Kenya. “I lived in a refugee camp in Kenya for 10 years and my original dream was to go to America. It was my mother who filled out an Australian refugee humanitarian visa and, after two years of waiting, we were accepted to come to this amazing country. We arrived in Australia on 26 September 2003, and I have been proud to live in this country ever since. My story just shows that whatever plans or dreams we do have, God sometimes has a better way or plan for us.” Deng decided to apply to join the Royal Australian Air Force for many reasons. “Most of my childhood was spent around men in uniform, my father being one of them. I was strongly influenced by the qualities they displayed, such as

A Star Advertising Feature

Museum flexes military muscle THE RAAF Museum, located at Point Cook, is home to an astonishing range of historic military aircraft. Point Cook residents will know the secret of the interactive flying displays which occur most weeks on Tuesday, Thursday and Sundays. These displays feature historic aircraft in flight and give spectators the chance to ask the pilot questions on the day. It’s difficult to imagine how much closer you can get to actually flying some of these rare birds. The museum affords visitors a vivid, hands-on experience of the history of the Royal Australian

Air Force and has an enormous collection. There is historical material on show and several hangars of static aircraft. Visitors can also view the restoration hangar where they can currently see the progress of a restoration of an iconic Mosquito, a twin engine multi purpose aircraft from World War II. The museum’s lifeblood is its volunteers who work tirelessly in a variety of different areas, from restoration, to providing guided tours. They are a font of information, and a direct connection with the air force’s rich history, so make time to have a chat when you drop in.

Another big highlight is the museum shop where you can buy clothing, books, models and patches. Aviation fans find it difficult to resist. The RAAF Museum is one way you can im-

merse yourself in Western Melbourne’s rich military aviation history, and the flying displays are not only free, but a chance to see rare historic aircraft in action and talk to the pilot.

TARNEIT

THIRTY MINUTES FROM CBD FROM PAGE 1. THIRTY minutes from the Melbourne CBD and minutes from the new Coles supermarket is Caraleena estate. This boutique 60-lot subdivision in the popular suburb of Tarneit will impress, the developer says, with its proximity to community services. Caraleena estate aims to offer a lifestyle of tranquillity for raising a family in a well-planned community close to shopping centres, schools, recreational facilities and public transport.

Stages one and two are currently for sale, with a limited number of lots remaining from 336 square metres to 512 square metres. Purchasers can secure their block from $158,000, up to $197,000 depending on size, with all lots now titled. A great range of lot widths are also available to suit all needs, from 10.5 metres up to 18 metres. A large number of families already call Caraleena home, with many more homes in various stages of completion. The Tarneit Road widening is also nearing completion, and Tarneit Railway Station

is scheduled to open in 2015. Caraleena is close to Werribee Plaza Shopping Centre and the Village cinema complex, and private and public schools including Thomas Carr College, Westbourne Grammar, St James Primary and Hoppers Crossing Secondary College. There are also several childcare centres in the vicinity, and hospital and medical facilities close by. Caraleena estate is at 590 Tarneit Road, Tarneit. Call Jacqueline Borg on 0409 506 914 or email jacqueline.borg@colliers.com at Colliers International for more information.

Celebrating the Centenary of Military Aviation

A Star Advertising Feature

Boxkite’s rare turn-out Boxkites left in the world, a team of dedicated volunteers at the RAAF Museum in Victoria held a vision to build a working replica. It took them seven long years to lovingly build the aircraft from the ground up. Hand-built, and made of wood and wire, the Boxkite replica is a reminder of the romance of the early days of aviation when aircraft were very different. The Boxkite replica has recently successfully completed a program of flight testing when the aircraft was flown by Air Vice-Marshal Mark Skidmore (retired), a former test pilot with

the RAAF’s Aircraft Research and Development Unit at RAAF Base Edinburgh in South Australia. Air Vice-Marshal Skidmore said the aircraft flew about one thousand metres and reached a top speed of about 42 miles an hour. “It was an exhilarating and humbling experience, I am honoured and proud to follow those aviators who pioneered military aviation in this country,” he said. The Bristol Boxkite will be on display to the public for the first time at the air show.

Displays in air and on ground WERRIBEE Star readers will experience many more aircraft in the skies than usual from Friday 28 February to Sunday 2 March 2014. But there’s no need to panic, it will all be to celebrate a very special birthday. On the Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 March, the Royal Australian Air Force will be hosting the Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show at RAAF Williams - Point Cook. This air show is a national event encompassing spectacular air and ground displays of historic and contemporary military aircraft, ranging from the Bristol Boxkite to the F/A-18F Super Hornet. The air show has something for everyone including ground displays from the Air Force Balloon, Air Force Band, Mili-

tary Working Dogs (including the ever popular puppy nursery) as well as flying displays of military aircraft from across the years. Deputy Chief of Air Force, Air Vice-Marshal Davies, recently said the air force was proud to host the Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show. “The air show is an opportunity to demonstrate the professionalism and aviation capabilities of today’s defence force.” he said. “We have chosen the theme of Tradition, Innovation and Evolution for the event to reinforce the extraordinary journey of military aviation from hand built aircraft like the Boxkite to the complex and powerful military aircraft of today.” The air show will be open

from 8am to 4pm with flying displays to be held from 10am to 3.30pm. The flying program is the same for both days, so people can get the full experience on either day of the event. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and cost $30 for adults, $10 for 5-15 year olds (children under 5 are free), and $76 for a family ticket. Parking permits can be purchased at a cost of $10, or travel for free by rail to Williams Landing station and free shuttle buses to Point Cook have been built into to the ticket price. To ensure there is as little disruption to local traffic as possible on the weekend, traffic management plans have been put into place and there will be some diversions in the Point Cook area on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 March.

One of the stunning Bristol Boxkites that will be at the centenary celebrations.

THE Bristol Boxkite is an amazing example of early aircraft. It was first developed in Britain in 1910 by the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company and was ‘state of the art’ at the time. A Bristol Boxkite was flown in Australia for the first time on the morning of 1 March 1914, when Lieutenant Eric Harrison, an aviation instructor with the Central Flying School, took one into the air at Point Cook. In 1915, the first Bristol Boxkite to be built in Australia flew its maiden flight. With only a couple of original

Dogs in box seat By LIAM TWOMEY FOOTSCRAY Edgewater remains in second spot on the Victorian Premier Cricket ladder after a 52-run win against the Camberwell Magpies on Saturday. The Bulldogs posted 9/261 in their first innings on the back of a brilliant 95 from Travis Dean. In reply, Camberwell made a strong start to the run chase with Thomas Rickarby digging in at the top of the order. The Magpies looked in control with the score at 1/48 until a Footscray triple strike changed the momentum of the match. Lucas Dredge, Mitchell Winter-Irving and Hamish Winter-Irving combined for three quick wickets to have the Magpies in trouble at 4/67. The Camberwell middle order batsmen refused to give up though and set about getting the run chase back on track. Justin Lampard (38), Amrith Eldridge (57) and Jack McNamara (36) kept the scoreboard ticking over. However, with no-one able to go on and make a big score,

the pressure began to mount. With the score at 6/207, the Footscray bowlers produced another passage of brilliance, taking the last four wickets for just two runs to seal the impressive victory. As well as his early strike, Dredge remained a constant headache throughout the Camberwell innings as he stormed to his best bowling performance of the season. Dredge finished with figures of 5/31 to easily be the pick of the bowlers. He was well supported by Hamish Winter-Irving who took 2/40. The result takes Footscray to an equal competition best 14-3 win/loss record for the season. The Bulldogs are just two points behind top of the table St Kilda and have a nine-point buffer over third-placed Geelong. In other Victorian Premier Cricket results, Geelong got the better of Hawthorn Monash University, Ringwood defeated Melbourne, Essendon beat Prahran and Dandenong were too good for Northcote.

Gulls make it look easy WILLIAMSTOWN is in the box seat following day one of its Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association match against Sunshine. After being sent in to bat by the Crows, Williamstown made 5/232 before declaring. Grant Sandars and Brenton Hodges were the pick of the batsmen with both blasting impressive knocks of 61 and 64 respectively. They were well supported by the top order in what was a consistent performance across the board. Of the seven Seagulls to bat, all made it to double figures. Williamstown captain Craig Sheedy’s decision to declare paid almost immediate dividends with Sunshine losing two wickets before the close of play. The Crows finished the day at 2/20 after 15 overs and will need another 212 runs to secure victory when the match resumes this week. Elsewhere in the VSDCA, top of the table Werribee will need to make 274 against Oakleigh this week if the Tigers are to keep their unbeaten streak going. Melton is on the brink of back-to-back wins after making a strong score of 236 against Noble Park. After being bowled out for 70 in its first innings, Yarraville has already been defeated by Croydon. Altona also batted first on Saturday and made 180 against Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows.

Muirhead’s sizzling summer continues By LIAM TWOMEY IT HAS been an amazing summer for Altona resident James Muirhead. The 20-year-old has gone from rising star to world-beater after bamboozling some of the cricket world’s best batsmen. Following a strong Big Bash League campaign with the Melbourne Stars, the leg spin bowler was selected in the Australian Twenty20 squad for its three match series against England. Being his country’s front line spinner and bowling in front of packed out crowds may have been too much for some but Muirhead thrived on the big stage. From his three international T20 games he took 1/34, 1/17 and 2/13 as Australia stormed to a series whitewash. On the back of his stunning success, Muirhead was selected in the Australian T20 Squad for the upcoming World Cup in Bangladesh. Before the tournament he will also represent Australia in South Africa. Not surprisingly, Cricket Victoria wasted no time getting on the front foot and signed Muirhead to a contract with the Bushrangers for the next four seasons. “I feel like Victoria is the best environment for me to develop my cricket,” Muirhead said earlier this month. “I was born in Melbourne, I live in Melbourne and now I can just

James Muirhead (shown taking a wicket for Victoria) is this month’s Don Deeble Rising Star nominee. 93264 Picture: CONTRIBUTED focus on playing my cricket in Melbourne. “We’ve got a great set up, with the best coaches ... so I’m very happy.” Bushrangers coach Greg Shipperd said he was pleased to have secured Muirhead on a long-term deal. “We seem to be a bit of a factory of spinners at the moment,” Shipperd said. “So to have secured one of Australia’s most promising leg-spinners - someone who has already shown

in the heat of international competition that he’s got the nerve and an exciting skillset - to have him commit to Victoria is a really positive move for our squad. “He’s still got some work to do with his batting and bowling and understanding the game from a spin bowling point of view, but that comes with experience, and he’s got at least four years of it (to come) so we’re thrilled with that.” For his outstanding sporting achievements Muirhead has been

named this month’s Don Deeble Rising Star nominee. The award is run by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club in conjunction with the Star News Group. Muirhead will receive $1000 donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club and other prizes to assist in his future sporting goals. The Don Deeble Rising Star Award recognises young athletes in the Western Suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at a state and national level.

WEST Newport is on track to claim a spot in the final four in the Williamstown and District Cricket Association’s A Turf competition after performing well with both bat and ball away to Gellibrand on Saturday. Gellibrand was sent in to bat and could only last 54.5 overs out in the middle at Digman Reserve, losing its 10th and final wicket for a total of just 141. West Newport faced 22 overs late in the day’s play and despite losing a wicket in that time, is already halfway through its chase. This weekend the visitor will resume at 1/78. Meanwhile in another crucial A Turf game taking place in the WDCA this weekend, St John’s looks to be in the box seat and will likely avoid the wooden spoon after gaining the upper hand over fellow cellar dweller, Williamstown Congs. After posting a declared 9/182 on Saturday, St John’s has Williamstown Congs stuck on 2/16 going into day two. WITH the third race of the Footscray Cycling Club’s four-race FORM700 Series being washed out, the whole series came down to Sunday’s finale held at Altona’s Drake Boulevard in pictureperfect weather. With serious prize money on offer and so many riders still in the hunt, racing was both hotly contested, aggressive and ‘marked’, with riders willing to chase down any attempted breaks. Total Rush rider Dom Dudkiewicz took three from three races in a hat-trick that saw him score the maximum points available in A Grade’s race and continue a run of astounding form. The attacks started from the get-go, with Miles DaCosta taking the initiative until he clipped a pedal into a corner, went down and scraped some skin. Even though he had an unassailable lead, series winner Dudkiewicz knew that it would be a complex race because the minor placings were up for grabs. “A Grade’s race was very aggressive but also very defensive; there were a lot of guys who were in a position to finish well in the series, so it was on,” he said. “There were attacks and counter attacks, but for the most part there were so many guys willing to chase things down that it had to be a bunch sprint. With two laps to go Paul Redenbach went but there were guys who were willing to do a big turn on the front. I came around the last corner maybe fourth or fifth wheel, put the hammer down and hit 70 kays and got to the line first.” Dudkiewicz finished ahead of the very consistent Ross Mueller in second and Graham Carlson in third.

Giants are in winning form By ADEM SARICAOGLU THE Werribee Giants will go into the Division Two Summer League Baseball post-season with winning form after toppling Springvale 10-2 at home on Saturday. The Giants finished third on the table to qualify for the finals and will again face Springvale in a best-of-three sudden death semi final series - set to begin this Wednesday evening. While Werribee coach Phil Balzer admits Springvale - who had already secured a finals berth - didn’t quite bring its A-game on Saturday, he said he was pleased to come away with a win after giving key pitcher Wes De Jong a spell. “We didn’t pitch Wes and pitched some other guys because it was a good opportunity for them to get some innings under their belt - so it was a

good win,” Balzer said. “Jonathan Lowe started the game and pitched four innings, and I think he had a couple of hits, so he was very good for us, and he was followed by Jason Kriehn, who pitched two innings and did a good job, and I think he also had a hit for himself as well. “Daine Gregory then came on and threw two innings and then Chad Northcott pitched the last inning, so it was a game where I wanted to get a lot of guys out there pitching in preparation for the finals and obviously the win helps. “But the main thing for us was to be competitive and to get as many pitchers some work in as we could.” Balzer expects Springvale to field a much stronger line-up than the one put up on Saturday, but is confident he has enough of his own weapons at his dis-

posal that have shown good recent form. “We’ve certainly got the pitching with Wes (De Jong) and Chad (Northcott) and then Wade (Balzer) and Jonathon Lowe, and hitting-wise Oliver Box has been tearing up the competition this side of Christmas, so expect him to keep doing that,” Balzer explained. “And our top five, maybe six hitters going down to Matthew Howe are all hitting around .300 or higher, so that’s a pretty strong hitting line-up going down to our sixth hitting spot. “Matthew Howe’s having an outstanding season, and he’s hitting about .350 or .370, so he’s playing extremely well and I’m definitely more confident (about beating Springvale) than I was before the weekend. That’s for sure.”

Falcons fly free and clear By LIAM TWOMEY CITY WEST Falcons remain undefeated and on top of the Victorian Netball League ladder following a crushing win over Fed Uni Ballarat 61-26 on Wednesday night. Despite the eventual lopsided score-line, it was tough going for the Falcons in the first quarter as they were forced to fight hard against a fired up Pride outfit. However, after taking a 14-10 lead into the opening break Marg Lind’s team was able to assert its dominance. The Falcons scored another 14 goals in the second term while restricting Fed Uni to just four. The 28-14 deficit was never going to be overturned as City West maintained its dominance in the second half. City West scored another 31 goals and restricted the Pride to just 12 to seal the percentage-boosting win. Shooting combination Julia Knott and Alice Teague-Neeld were outstanding around goals with both scoring at over 85 per cent efficiency. Teague-Neeld finished with 35 goals from 38 attempts while Knott scored 26 goals from her 30 shots taken. Elsewhere in the VNL, the news was also good for VU Western Lightning, which was able to secure its first win of the season. The Lightning proved too strong for Southern Stars in a low scoring match, 34-31. After suffering a smashing in week one, VU was out to make amends against the Saints and opened up a six-goal lead at half time. Despite being outscored in the final two quarters, the gap was enough to hang on for a three goal win. The Lightning now has a 1-1 win/loss record for the season and is in eighth spot on the VNL Championship ladder. When round three gets underway this week, they will take on the sixth placed Monash University Storm while the Falcons will meet fourth placed DC North Blaze.

THE Werribee Tigers Masters Football Club is looking forward to what could be its biggest year yet. The Super Rules club has moved from Chirnside Park to nearby Wyndham Vale North Reserve and can now enjoy much improved football and social facilities. “We weren’t getting consistent training nights, so with this new move we’re going to have our own set training nights and training times and a much bigger and better social facility,” club president Jason Bezzina said. “The biggest thing for us is because we’re a masters football club, we train two nights a week, and it’s a little bit about football but it’s also a lot about the social side. “So we’ve got really good social facilities now and things we’ve never had before like a social room that overlooks the ground, so whether it’s wet, cold or sunny, the ladies will have somewhere nice to watch the footy. “We’re also going to have our own bar with things like tap beer and all that sort of stuff.” The Tigers have now teamed up with the Wyndham Vale Sports Club and will retain their Werribee Tigers moniker and colours. Training has already begun for the upcoming metropolitan AFL Masters season and takes place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Brett Cook and John Radcliffe will both be coaching the over-35s team, while the Tigers will also be fielding over-40s and over-47s teams this year. The new season begins in late April.

Gift is the place to be PENNELL Reserve Braybrook is the place to be this Sunday when the Victorian Athletic League run the fourth annual Maribyrnong Gift. The eight race program starts at noon and there will be plenty of food and drink for the spectators and activities for the kids plus some of the best sprinting and distances runners in the state. The prize pool is over $5000 and there will be a bookie on hand if you want to have a wager on the events. No doubt the Hargreaves brothers will be to the fore as usual. The race is all part of the lead up to Australia’s biggest spring the Stawell Gift at Easter. More details at val.org.au WERRIBEE will have its first hit out for the season in a practice match against the Box Hill Hawks this Saturday at Arden Street. The development game is at 10am with the seniors at 1pm. There are a lot of new faces at the club and still a few spots on the list to be decided so it will be most interesting. Williamstown travel to the EFC High Performance Centre at Tullamarine to play Essendon from 1pm Saturday. The interest will be to see the large number of big name recruits the Seagulls have signed in a very busy off season. Port Melbourne don’t play this weekend but have released a calendar which I saw during the week and at $20 it is a must have for Borough fans. There are some outstanding pictures past and present. They are available through the club website pmfc. com.au WERRIBEE Cricket Club is enjoying one of its most successful seasons of recent years and is holding its annual past players day on Saturday 8 March at Avalon Airport Oval at Chirnside Park. The First XI will be playing Bayswater, on current ladder positions this is first (Werribee) playing second just two weeks from the start of the finals. Currently all four senior teams are in finals contention with the first undefeated. If you want more details about the day contact Grubby Cations 0402 883 915 or grubbycations@gmail.com HOPPERS Crossing Sports Club held its annual Ball and Awards night last Saturday at the Werribee Racing Club. More than 150 members and friends of the club attended and saw Jason Dowie named Committee Person of the Year, Brenden Sullivan was Member of the Year and teenage swimming sensation Stephanie Story the Rising Star. Em Hussein and Silva Warhurst took out the staff awards. There were three inductees to the Hall of Fame including David Clonan from the football club and Mike Wall and Colin Baynes from the cricket club. LOTS of people keep telling me Deer Park are a monty for the Division One flag in the WRFL. They have recruited like no other club in my memory, but sport is full of fairytale stories and the winter Olympics reminds me of Steven Bradbury winning his gold medal or the legendary ‘Miracle on Ice’ Men’s hockey game between the USA and Russia in 1980.

THE Western Warriors are launching the next generation of stars on the greens. The lawn bowls squad, which is for junior bowlers in the west-metro region, has built a rich history on developing young talent since it was launched in 2006. After nearly a decade of success, coach Terry Norris is aiming to expand the squad even more in the coming years. “Basically the idea is to get kids outside and give them something to play,” Norris said. “Our aims are to get the juniors to understand and play the game to the best of their ability and to foster companionship and camaraderie. “We also teach kids how to be respectful to their team-mates, their coaches, the opposition and anyone connected with bowls.” Squad members range from 10 to 18 years of age and are given the opportunity to compete in a range of tournaments and events throughout the state. Norris said the Warriors have also helped a growing number of promising juniors reach the next level of competition. “From our junior squad, we have

As well as introducing young athletes to the sport of lawn bowls, the Western Warriors are ensuring the future of local clubs. With a number of teams struggling to maintain strong playing numbers, Norris said the next generation was the key to long-term success for everyone in the sport. “Besides wanting to actively give kids something to do, we also see that these kids are the future of lawn bowls,” he said.

Sport Diana Prazak will defend her WBC championship belt at the Melbourne Pavilion this Saturday.

Diana Prazak is busy preparing for her upcoming bout against Shannon O’Connell with highly-rated trainer, Pictures: DAMJAN JANEVSKI Lucia Rijker. 114814

Prazak poised to defend title By ADEM SARICAOGLU TWO-TIME world champion Diana Prazak does not get to spend a whole lot of time back home. Born and raised in Hoppers Crossing, the 34-year-old boxer made the tough choice to leave everything behind and move to Los Angles in 2012, and has since proven herself as the best superfeather-weight in the world. Having left behind a fiancé, family and business to make it in the big time, and with a lack of sponsorship making

it difficult for her to come home on a regular basis, Prazak admits life on the road has been quite tough over the past two years. “It’s very tough over there,” she said. “It’s a very lonely place to live, and it’s a very lonely sport as well, but it’s all part of my journey in the sport to be the best I can be and the sacrifices that I have to make to get there. “The good side is in my sport I’m accomplishing my goals and that makes me so happy, to be able to sacrifice so much and achieve what all the

sacrifice was for. “So that’s incredible - making my family proud and my country proud.” Prazak was home for Christmas for some much-needed family time when up-and-coming Queenslander Shannon O’Connell called out and challenged the world champ for her WBC championship belt. Prazak has since set up shop in Footscray alongside former undefeated champion and trainer Lucia Rijker in preparation for the upcoming bout.

The two will meet in the ring this Saturday at the Melbourne Pavilion, and it will be Prazak’s first fight on home soil since relocating to LA. “Things are going really well,” Prazak said of her preparation. “We’re in the final stages of preparation, which are going as they should, and I’m really excited to be at home and to get the opportunity to fight at home. I haven’t fought here for twoand-a-half years, and I’ve been fighting everywhere else in the world and it’s a great opportunity to be able to come

home and have the hometown support and everyone that’s helped support me come and watch.” Prazak admits she knows little about O’Connell, but is sure of one thing. “I’m expecting a really tough fight,” she said. “I’m expecting her to bring everything she’s got to me in the ring to try to take my belt off me. “I’m preparing for somebody who wants what I have, and I had to work really hard to get everything I have.”

Brothers in arms By LIAM TWOMEY THEY came, they saw and they conquered. For Western Suburbs brothers Craig and Steve Trembath, the recent International Shooting Sport Federation Championship in Perth was one for the record books. Steve, from Seabrook, took out the trap final while Craig, from Sanctuary Lakes, claimed the double trap final. According to the Australian Clay Target Association records, the pair are the first brothers in the history of the sport to win Commonwealth and National Titles at the same event. “It was a great result,” Craig said. “We have put a lot into the sport over the last 10 plus years and to actually have a situation where two brothers take out the national titles in both the flagship events it is just a really good thing to share. “ Steve was also rapt to enjoy the spotlight with his brother. “I think it made it all the more special that my brother had won as well,” Steve said. “We couldn’t have got the timing better. It was great that he did it and won his event and then for me to go and win my one was just huge.” The National Championships saw the best shooters in Australia descend on Perth in the hope of walking away with top honours. On his way to the gold in the trap event, Steve edged out Olympians Adam Vella and Michael Diamond while in the double trap, Craig also defeated Olympians Tom Turner and Russell Mark.

Craig is hoping his run of good form continues all the way to the Commonwealth Games. In the coming weeks he will compete in two events in Australia as well as a tournament in Kuwait to try and book his spot to Glasgow. “At the end of those three events, we will know who is going to the Commonwealth Games in double trap,” Craig said. “It looks like Russell Mark is going to take one of the two spots, and it is probably between myself and Tom Turner for the second spot.” “I just need to have a good couple of weeks in those events that are coming up and it is in my hands to be able to take that position.” It will also be a busy few months for Steve, who has been selected for the Victorian state team. The pair paid credit to the tough training they get at the Werribee International Shooting Complex as well as the support of their families in getting to the top. “Without the support of our families we couldn’t do it that’s for sure,” Craig said. “Our base is at Werribee and it is renowned for being a tough place to train. It puts us in very good stead and that club and that facility continues to produce very good athletes. “To have those facilities on your doorstep fast tracks you to be able to get better and it certainly helped put the results on the board for us.”

Brothers Craig and Steve Trembath had double the reason to celebrate at the International Shooting Sport Picture: JOE MASTROIANNI Federation Championship. 114362
