New recruits ready to go

(Shawn Smits)

Frothing milk and latte art are skills of the past for Caroline Springs fire brigade’s newest recruit. Former barista Amy Harrison decided she wanted a career that would allow her to give back to the community, so she gave up her post behind a coffee machine in a Collingwood café and signed up for a career with the Country Fire Authority.

After a gruelling 19 weeks of training, the 32-year-old had her first day on the job last week.

“I always wanted to do something to support the community and be in an industry that allows you to make a difference,” she said.

The “country girl” from Ballarat said she’s looking forward to a new adventure.

“I’m really excited.”

Ms Harrison is one of 30 new Victorian CFA recruits who started last week, eight of whom are women. Their recruitment is part of the state government’s commitment to add 350 new firefighters to the CFA. The 30 recruits come from a range of backgrounds, including defence, trades, sales, emergency services, mechanical, IT and education.

Ambo boost in Brimbank

By Ewen McRae Brimbank will be home to one of six new ambulance “super response centres” to deal with major emergencies as well as day-to-day medical challenges.

The Brimbank super centre is the second to be announced, after news last week that one will be built in Footscray, with four more in Melbourne’s outer suburbs. The six centres will share about 200 new paramedics.

The Brimbank super centre comes on top of the announcement of a new 24-hour

ambulance station for Taylors Lakes, with 14 full-time equivalent paramedics and a new ambulance vehicle.

Ambulance Services Minister Jill Hennessy said the two facilities would make a major difference to response times for Brimbank residents.

“Response times are the best they have been in five years, but there’s still more work to do,” Ms Hennessy said.

“Now we have the system working better, it’s time to invest in new branches and paramedics on the road.”

“In a medical emergency, every second saves lives. That’s why we’re ensuring people in Taylors Lakes get the right emergency care, quickly, when they need it.”

Figures show ambulance response times in Brimbank have improved in the past 12 months, with the average code one response time of 12.09 minutes in the September quarter an improvement on the 13.05 minute average code one response time a year earlier.

The 24-hour centre at Taylors Lakes will feature a drive in-and-out garage bay for vehicles, rest and recline areas, training rooms,

bedrooms, modern amenities and fully-fitted kitchen.

Sydenham MP Natalie Hutchins said it was important to continue to support front-line medical staff.

“We’re putting people first and giving paramedics the support they deserve and need to save lives,” she said.

“The new Taylors Lake ambulance station will make a huge difference to this community’s hard-working and dedicated paramedics and makes room for more paramedics on the road.”

St Albans house prices take off

By Ewen McRae House prices in St Albans have skyrocketed, according to new figures.

St Albans had a median house price of $518,750 in the September quarter, up 22.7 per cent on the previous year, while unit/ apartment prices rose by 8.5 per cent in the same period to a median of $360,000, data from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria reveals.

Unit/apartment prices increased by 5.1 per cent between June and September alone.

Some agents have speculated that the removal of two level crossings appears to be having an affect, as St Albans’ median house price growth in the five-year period prior to the level crossings’ removal was 2.1 per cent.

Institute chief executive Geoff White said the area was experiencing robust growth due to its proximity to the city and the value of land relative to the rest of Melbourne.

“Strong price growth has been recorded in a number of middle and outer Melbourne suburbs this year, driven by buyer demand for space and larger homes further from the city,”

Mr White said. “St Albans is benefitting from its proximity to the city, with buyers increasingly looking for value within middle Melbourne.”

Mr White said the area remained affordable compared to similar outer Melbourne suburbs.

“St Albans offers solid growth potential, with a median house price well below the middle Melbourne median of $861,500 and also below the outer Melbourne median of $572,000,” he said.

Ray White St Albans principal Shaun Marijanovic said buyers were starting to appreciate St Albans.

“People have realised that it’s only 20 minutes from the city and you can get a decent house for $500,000 to $600,000,” Mr Marijanovic said.

“The railway going underground has had an affect. There’s good schools nearby, there’s a university, a hospital … with cheap interest rates, it makes for an attractive option to live or for an investment property.

“The trend upwards for prices is the steepest we’ve seen for some time.

“Early next year, we look like selling a weatherboard home in St Albans for in excess of $1 million.”

Braybrook trafficker jailed

Las Vegas gig no walk-over

(Shawn Smits)

Anthony Ivitti counts his most impressive dance move as the front aerial.

This is no mean feat for someone who only took up the sport about four years ago, and is a testament to his dedication, teacher Jason Di Cicco attests.

“It’s basically a walk-over going forwards, but without your hands,” Anthony says … easy, for some.

The 12-year-old from Deer Park has just won a dance competition in Essendon, which puts him in the running to compete at an international event in Las Vegas next year.

The year 7 Victoria University Secondary College student says he’s hoping to receive a phone call with the good news he has been chosen before the end of the year.

His three-minute routine to Sia’s song Chandelier earned Anthony the title of “Mr Teen Dancer” at the KAR dance competition last month.

PH: 9217 9500

A Braybrook man has been sentenced to 23 months in jail after being caught with almost 80 kilograms of cannabis.

Appearing in the County Court last month, Van Vuong Phan, 27, entered a guilty plea to trafficking a commercial quantity of cannabis and possessing a prohibited weapon.

The court heard police executing a warrant at Phan’s Braybrook home on March 3 detected a strong cannabis smell.

Police seized seven large plastic bags containing small vacuum-sealed bags of cannabis, four vacuum-seal machines, five mobile phones, a prohibited knife and a Commodore car.

Phan, a Vietnamese national, arrived in Australia on an education visa in 2013. The visa was cancelled a few months later and he remained in Australia unlawfully.

The court heard Phan had experienced a dysfunctional upbringing, with limited education and issues with substance abuse from a very young age.

Judge Claire Quin said a gambling problem had led Phan to amass a $200,000 debt.

“Though gambling is not a matter in mitigation, it does provide background or explanation for … this criminal behaviour,” she said.

Judge Quin said Phan had expressed remorse and had a strong chance of rehabilitation, but trafficking of drugs in a commercial quantity was very serious.

Phan was sentenced to 23 months’ jail, minus 253 days already served.

than 100 different countries.

Like many of you, I am a long-term resident of Brimbank. I have been proud to call our City my home for the past 30 years. I’ve raised my family here. I’ve worked here.

I’ve made many friends here.

The new Brimbank City Council is diverse like our City. There are seven women on Council – more women than any other council in Victoria. We are an energetic mix of youth and life experience committed to working together in the best interests of our community.

Mayor Cr John Hedditch

For me, Brimbank’s strength is our people.

Seven weeks ago, residents and ratepayers elected 11 new councillors to guide the future direction of Brimbank – the City’s first directly-elected Council in seven years.

Brimbank is unlike any other place in Melbourne. We are a unique mix of new and older Australians. Our City is a destination of choice for new migrants who hail from more

Almost half of us were born overseas.

Most speak a language other than English at home. Across our city, you will hear 150 different languages spoken. We celebrate 100 faiths and creeds.

In 2017, our priorities will be developing the new Council Plan – a four-year blueprint to guide the future growth of our City –

and our spending priorities for the 2017-18 Budget.

We want our community to help shape both pieces of work. To do so, we wish to connect with as many residents and ratepayers as possible over the coming months. We also invite you to connect with us – tell us your priorities and aspirations for the future.

In the meantime, on behalf of Council please have a great festive season with your families and friends, and may you have a happy, safe, healthy, and prosperous new year. To Brimbank’s Christian community, we say Merry Christmas.

Plots open at Keilor cemetery

By Alexandra Laskie More than 60 unused graves have been reclaimed by Keilor Cemetery management.

The Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, which operates Keilor Cemetery and 18 others in Melbourne’s north, east and west, began last year attempting to track down the owners of grave sites purchased more than 25 years ago.

Victorian legislation allows a cemetery trust to cancel a right of internment if the owner cannot be found “after diligent inquiries” or

the right of internment has never been exercised.

Unlike burials in South Australia, which have limited tenure on grave sites, once a plot is used in Victoria it cannot be reclaimed, resold or reused.

But they can hold up to three bodies if authorised by the plot’s owner.

Trust chief executive Jacqui Weatherill said 64 graves had been reclaimed at Keilor since the trust began attempting to contact grave site owners last October.

She said 46 of the reclaimed graves had been

on-sold to “at-need” customers who required plots immediately.

The existing cemetery reached capacity a year ago.

“We encourage anyone who has a right of interment for a plot at Keilor Cemetery or any of our 19 sites, or who believes they may be entitled to claim a right of interment, to contact the Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust to ensure we have your correct and current contact details on file,” Ms Weatherill said.

She said many graves purchased ahead of

time had never been used, either because the owner had moved overseas or interstate or had decided to be buried elsewhere.

The purpose of what the trust calls the “tenure program” is to identify long-term unused graves that are no longer needed and can be offered back to the community.

In October, Star Weekly reported that Taylors Lakes resident Kathryn Malic wanted to be buried alongside her relatives in Keilor Cemetery, but was unable to secure a plot because the cemetery had reached capacity.

Sporting chance for kids Members of the Sunshine and Western Region Sports Club are a generous bunch, says committee member Phil Cartledge.

Each month the members and their guests meet to select the recipient of the Don Deeble Rising Star Award, a $1000 grant handed to young adults in the western suburbs who have achieved outstanding sporting results at a state and national level.

At each meeting, a bucket is handed around to collect donations large and small that will go to helping children.

Recently the club hit its $10,000 fundraising target and gave the money to Sunshine Hospital’s rehabilitation program for children.

“Every time we raise money we support children,” Mr Cartledge says.

The hospital’s physiotherapy manager, Melina Shackell, couldn’t be more thankful.

Using the funds, her department was able to purchase an exercise bike, a Jenx chair and some iPads.

“The exercise bike will be used by older children with orthopaedic injuries and the Jenx chair for very small babies and children who need a lot of support to develop,” she said.

“This [donation] is extremely important. In the public health system funds are tight, so it’s great to be able to purchase equipment we might not otherwise be able to afford.”

Backlash against growth

By Alexandra Laskie Almost 50 people have objected to two medium density housing developments slated for the same residential street in St Albans.

They claim the plans are out of character with their neighbourhood, and cite “a feeling there are too many units”.

Two developers have submitted permit applications to Brimbank council to bulldoze single-storey houses at 47 and 52 Helen Street, which are almost directly opposite each other.

Their plans propose six double-storey townhouses and five double-storey townhouses, respectively. Both properties are in a residential growth zone, which encourages developments up to four storeys.

The backlash against the permit applications prompted the council to invite objectors to a planning forum last Monday.

Helen Street resident Jenny Isa said about 30 people attended the meeting. She said things quickly turned sour when one of the developers told them they should move out of the area if they opposed development.

“They said we should move out if we don’t like growth zones,” she said. “They were very dismissive of residents. It was a very angry room. Residents said ‘how can you tell us to move – we’ve been here for more than 40 years’.”

Ms Isa’s father lives next door to the site of one of the proposed developments. She said he was fearful his house would be overshadowed, and car parking problems would be exacerbated.

In his draft report to the December 20 meeting, Brimbank’ council’s city development director Stuart Menzies said 47 Helen Street had “excellent” access to shops and services, being located near Keilor Downs activity centre and Keilor Plains train station.

“The residential growth zone seeks to achieve

Jenny and Fatmir. (Kristian Scott)

higher density residential development on sites such as this one,” Mr Menzies said. “The design response achieves an appropriate balance between replicating elements from the existing built form … [and] new elements.”

In reporting specifically on the planning

application for 52 Helen Street, Mr Menzies acknowledged this proposal was more substantial than any other medium density development in the area.

“Despite this, the proposal is considered to be appropriate for the site,” he said.

Ice import ends in jail A St Albans man has been jailed for 12 years over his role in the importation of more than five kilograms of pure methamphetamine with a street value of almost $7 million.

The County Court of Victoria heard Keng Hong Hew, 70, was involved in importing the methamphetamine, also known as ice, in three parcels between October 2014 and January 2015.

Hew arrived in Australia from Malaysia in June 2014 on a three-month visitor’s visa.

He came to the attention of police in January 2015 when he attempted to collect a consignment of bamboo shoots sent from Hong Kong to Footscray, which had been found to contain 2.5 kilograms of pure liquid methamphetamine.

Following his arrest, police discovered he had been involved in two other methamphetamine importations.

The first involved a shipment said to contain artificial glass rocks, and the second a consignment of beauty products. Hew claimed he had been told to pick up the bamboo consignment by an unknown friend, and was paid $1000-$2000 to collect the consignment.

Judge Jeanette Morrish found despite Hew entering a guilty plea there was no evidence of remorse. He was sentenced to 12 years in jail and will be eligible for parole after eight years. Judge Morrish told Hew it is likely he will be deported afterwards.

Young activist speaks up Speaking in front of his entire school didn’t faze prep pupil Taj Saraswati.

The five-year-old asked his teacher, Noha Bakri, whether he could inform his peers about the plight of Indonesian orang-utans whose habitat is being destroyed by farmers clearing forests to produce palm oil.

The St Albans Meadows Primary School pupil told students at assembly he “wanted to talk about something very important to me�.

He asked the pupils to sign a petition that asks the federal government to pass a law requiring that presence of palm oil be identified on food packaging.

“Miss Bakri and room 9 have already signed it, but I have more forms if you would like to help,� he said.

The St Albans activist collected more than 300 signatures from his schoolmates before handing his petition to zoo keepers at Melbourne Zoo. Miss Bakri said she had no idea Taj was so passionate about the environment. “He surprised me actually,� she said. “It was something he had prepared with his mum and dad at home.�

Group lightens migrants’ load

By Ewen McRae Women’s Health West is on the lookout for women from Pasifika and Polynesian communities to join its 2017 migrant and refugee program.

The ‘Our Community, Our Rights’ program has been running since 2011, focusing on a different migrant community in Melbourne’s west each year and helping with advocacy and education for both new migrants and those who have been in Australia long-term.

The program has previously focused on

migrants from South Sudan, Burma, India and the Horn of Africa.

WHW health promotion and project co-ordinator, Hope Mathumbu, said programs like this were particularly important for refugee and migrant women who may not be aware of their legal rights while also facing structural disadvantages when settling in Australia.

“Programs like this are really important in terms of giving women a platform to advocate for themselves,” Ms Mathumbu said.

“It’s a human rights, leadership and advocacy program that gives people the chance to take

control of issues that affect their community and a platform to make a direct change.”

Ms Mathumbu said the program would address broad issues for migrants as well as those specific to the Pasifika and Polynesian communities, such as recent changes to visas for New Zealanders.

“Every migrant has different issues, but there were changes made to the Special Category Visa recently that directly impact on New Zealand migrants so that will be a big focus,” Ms Mathumbu said.

“There are different issues for people at

different stages of migration, so we’ll be informed by community consultation with what we address.

“We’ll be having a number of workshops and work with agencies in the west to help everyone in the program.”

Women’s Health West is hoping for 12-15 participants to join this year’s program, which also offers lunch, childcare and reimbursement of travel costs.

People interested can contact Hope Mathumbu at hope@whwest.org.au or call 9689 9588.

Read young, learn early Brimbank families are being urged to pop on their reading glasses as part of a statewide push for families to read more books to their youngsters before they start school.

The 1000 Books Before School initiative aims to promote early literacy as a way of combating adult illiteracy by starting kids reading books, and being read to, from an early age.

Studies have shown that children who are read to every day from an early age develop extended vocabularies, and are reading ready with improved cognitive skills when they start school.

Brimbank mayor John Hedditch said all city libraries would be promoting the challenge for children to be read 1000 books from birth to their start at primary school.

“The more a child is read to in their pre-school years, the better prepared they are when they start to learn how to read and write,” Cr Hedditch said.

“We encourage all families to join the program at a Brimbank library and begin their reading journey with their children, and have lots of fun doing it.”

The 1000 Books Before School program is a joint initiative of State Library Victoria and Public Libraries Victoria Network. Brimbank libraries are among 200 across Victoria participating in this early literacy campaign.

Parents and caregivers who wish to participate in the program can register at any Brimbank library.

Plan to unlock Sunshine’s potential

By Alexandra Laskie An arts precinct in the old Darling Flour Mill and a new sports team are among ideas to improve Sunshine, a survey has found.

In August, the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) invited Sunshine business owners and residents to complete a survey aimed at influencing future development of the suburb.

The VPA has picked Sunshine as a national employment cluster in its revised Plan Melbourne blueprint.

The authority’s aim is to transform central

Sunshine into a thriving hub of jobs, businesses and services.

VPA chief executive Peter Seamer said 60 people had completed the online survey, providing the authority with plenty of feedback to inform the framework plan.

“There were certainly some original ideas presented by the participants, such as the idea for new sports teams for Sunshine, and the concept of creating an arts precinct in the Darling Flour mill,” Mr Seamer said.

“These were two ideas we hadn’t considered previously, but they are great suggestions that

we have forwarded on to council to consider.”

He said the most resounding wish was for Sunshine to have more businesses.

“While Sunshine was traditionally a heartland for manufacturing and industrial businesses, participants recognised that the area is growing and changing quickly, and needs greater levels of business investment.

“People particularly wanted to see more offices and white-collar jobs based there.”

Survey respondents also requested greener streets and parks, improved walking and cycling tracks, and rezonings to allow for new

business precincts. The VPA’s draft framework plan for the area is due for release mid-next year.

It will provide a strategic vision for the area and detail of how this could be achieved.

It will include suggestions for new infrastructure, such as roads, bus services, tree plantings, rezoning of land and new community facilities. The plan will then be used by all tiers of government to determine how best to invest in the area.

Mr Seamer said the planning body wanted to unlock Sunshine’s potential.

Glamping at the House A giant tepee and 30 tents were set-up on the lawn out the front of Government House earlier this month.

About 33 Sunshine North Primary School pupils strode across the lawn to check out their new digs for the night … with an equal amount of enthusiasm, the teaching staff scurried behind them.

The group of pupils and teachers were the very first to camp on the grounds of the official residence of the Governor of Victoria, which is next to Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens in the Kings Domain.

The camp-out was timed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of VicHealth, a government agency that promotes healthy lifestyles and outdoor activities.

Assistant principal Lynette Hannon said the children had such a good time on the camp they were still talking about it more than a week later.

“It was just amazing to be camping under the stars in front of Government House,” she said.

“No one goes camping in the city.”

The event was hosted by Governor of Victoria Linda Dessau, who is also patron-in-chief of VicHealth, and her husband, Anthony Howard.

The students were fed burritos and smoothies for dinner, played outdoor games and were taken on a tour of the state apartments.

Stand strong, learn how

Pool checks find flaws

(Joe Mastroianni)

When walking to her car alone, particularly after dark, Jude Leibel puts a key between each finger and clenches her hand into a fist.

It’s a technique the life coach learnt during 15 years on the beat as a police officer – and it’s a warning to would-be attackers that she was a force to be reckoned with.

“The way I communicate with my body, people know not to mess with me,” the Sunshine North resident said. “It’s all about the perception that you throw out to other people.

“I walk with the physiology that says I’m not a soft target.”

This week Ms Leibel is hosting a breakfast to give woman some tools to feel more confident and safe in their communities.

The 39-year-old said the state government’s pledge to hire at least 2400 new police officers in response to rising demands on Victoria Police is a step in the right direction.

The announcement will boost police numbers by almost 20 per cent.

“But you can’t count on police being around the corner all the time,” she said.

While in the police force, Ms Leibel worked in crime prevention, the sexual offences and child abuse department and in general duties.

She resigned two years ago to become a life coach and give back to the community in a different, more nuanced way.

“With all the issues going around the west, such as stories of the Apex gang, women come up to me and say how scared they are to be home alone or out at night,” she said.

“Unfortunately we can’t get rid of all the creeps, but ladies can fend them off and stop themselves from becoming victims.”

Hear Ms Leibel on Wednesday, December 14, 7am, at The Plaza Tavern, Hoppers Crossing.

More than 70 Brimbank properties with backyard pools and spas have failed fencing checks in the past year.

Brimbank council’s city development director Stuart Menzies said council staff had inspected about 200 properties with a pool within the past 12 months, and 74 building notices were issued as a result.

The notices demand pool owners make the necessary changes to ensure pool fencing complies with legislation.

“Most of these pools have been made compliant already,” Mr Menzies said.

“Only 21 of those pools are still working towards compliance.”

In Victoria, swimming pools and spas with a water depth of more than 30 centimetres must have safety barriers around them.

According to the Victorian Building Authority, the pool area must be a separate, defined area that cannot be accessed directly from any other building, such as the main house or an outbuilding.

There are 2452 backyard pools in Brimbank, and the council conducts about 10 random inspections each month.

Mr Menzies said the arrival of summer was a good reminder to residents with pools to ensure their safety barriers are in working order.

Life Saving Victoria’s Drowning Report 2015-16 shows that about 16 per cent of non-fatal drowning incidents occurred in home pools.

Volunteer’s top honour

By Ewen McRae East Keilor’s Noela Macleod has visited Government House many times over the years, but the most recent trip may have been the most special.

Ms Macleod was recognised for a lifetime of service to the Country Women’s Association (CWA) at the Victorian Premier’s Volunteer Champions Awards recently, one of 19 winners in the service category from a shortlist of more than 300.

“I was absolutely gobsmacked when I heard I’d been shortlisted,” Ms Macleod said.

“I go to Government House every year on Australia Day to bake scones for the function there, but this was the most nervous I’ve been in a long time there.

“It was good to share that moment with my family.”

Ms Macleod first joined the CWA in 1972, when she moved her young family to the tiny rural town of Chiltern. It began a lifetime association with the group, with which she has served as secretary, treasurer, group president, state president and national president, as well as on numerous committees. She is currently volunteering as the state archivist.

“The group in Chiltern was very welcoming to me from the early days, and it was one of the few places I could take young children, as I had three girls under six,” Ms Macleod said.

“It’s very important in a rural community to get involved, and I kept that up when we came back to Melbourne when the girls were at uni.

“I’ve made wonderful friends at every group I’ve been part of.”

While Ms Macleod is well known in the CWA as a noted handicraft and homecraft expert, writing six recipe books for the organisation, she says her work with the international arm of

Minerva Onaenjira, Nimoaa, Matilda, Jonathon, Bani Lee and Chloe. (Kristian Scott)

All welcome to sing along

the organisation (Associated Country Women of the World) has given her the most pride.

“There’s more than nine million members worldwide in that group,” she said. “Helping women and families in communities around the world, and empowering women from developing nations, so they can have a voice, has been one of the things that’s pleased me the most.

“We take it for granted in this country that we can speak out without fear or favor, but it’s

cr sophie ramsey mayor’s message

not like that everywhere, unfortunately.”

With 21 grandchildren now on the scene, Ms Macleod is keen to pass on her life lessons to the next generation.

“Two of the older girls have asked me to teach them to sew this Christmas, so that’s my next task,” she said.

“I’m very happy helping to mentor some of the young women coming through to take my place. I believe it’s important to pass on the baton and keep the organisation growing.”

More than 150 people are expected to join the chorus at Sunshine Presbyterian Church’s carols by candlelight this weekend.

Event director Esther Cho said the church has hosted a carols by candlelight event for more than 10 years.

Ms Cho said the evening draws a large cross section of the local neighbourhood.

“It’s very representative of the multiculturalism in Brimbank,” she said.

“There’s a really harmonious quality to it … it’s a very community centred event – everyone is welcome.”

Proceedings will start at 6pm with a free spit roast and sausage sizzle in the church gardens. At 7.30pm, it’ll be time for the candle-lit carols sing-a-long.

The church has been a fixture of the Sunshine community for 90 years. Hugh Victor McKay laid its foundation stone just days before his death in 1926. The staunch Presbyterian commissioned the church as a gift to Sunshine.

Water rights relief under review

By Alexandra Laskie Melbourne Water is reviewing whether it continues to offer Keilor farmers who own water entitlements discounts on their fees.

Three years ago, the water body introduced a pricing relief scheme that allowed Keilor irrigators to transfer their water allocations, in part or full, for environmental uses.

This meant farmers only had to pay their annual licence fees of $275, rather than $66.30 for every megalitre of their allocations, irrespective of the amount used, in addition to licence fees.

A Melbourne Water spokesman said when the scheme was initiated in 2013, it was agreed that it would be reviewed after three years.

A meeting to review the scheme was held in June.

“The pilot of temporary trading arrangements, which had been in place for the past three years, and the long term future of the water entitlements in Keilor were discussed,” he said. “Melbourne Water advised that if licence holders want to continue to hold the entitlements in the longer term, payment would eventually become necessary, consistent with all other licence holders in the state.”

Fourth generation Keilor farmer David Milburn said the news came as “a bit of a shock”. The former vegetable farmer said landowners in the area have held onto their water allocations because, without them, the value of their land diminished.

“The problem is, the water isn’t available all the time. People aren’t interested in buying it because there’s no guaranteed supply,” he said.

Melbourne Water has held a bulk entitlement on the Maribyrnong River since 2000, which gives it a 9.5 per cent share of inflows into Southern Rural Water’s Rosslynne Reservoir at Gisborne to supply water entitlements to

Keilor irrigators. There are currently 44 licence entitlements issued to Keilor landowners on the Maribyrnong River.

Victoria’s 10-year millennium drought, which began in 2000, made farming unsustainable at Keilor. Between 2006 and 2010, there wasn’t any water left to supply farmers, and pumping bans were enacted.

Despite most farmers ceasing operations, most continue to hold their water entitlements.

Melbourne Water has agreed to run the pricing relief scheme again for 2016-17, and will consult further with landowners before a final decision is made.

Wood works wonders Ardeer Primary School has been getting into the Christmas spirit, delivering handmade woodwork games to Estia Health Ardeer nursing home last week as part of its community outreach program.

The school has been conducting weekly visits to Estia House for five years to meet with the residents, but this year decided to add to the program via a woodwork class at the school to make games in time for Christmas.

School chaplain Robert Nansen has been running the woodwork program, and said the first year of it had been a huge success.

“We had 40-50 kids put their hands up to be a part of it, which in a school of 126 is pretty good,” Mr Nansen said.

“We had about 15 kids from grades three to six for this first year, and it’s been great to see the kids improve their skills in woodwork and also playing the games with the residents

when we delivered them. I think things like this strengthen the link between the school and the house, and a lot of the games are good for cognitive stimulation for the residents so the benefits go both ways.”

The students made games such as hookey, dominoes and naughts and crosses, with many of the tools and timber donated by the local Bunnings.

Mr Nansen said the school was already planning to continue the program in 2017.

“They [Estia Health Ardeer] were rapt with how the games looked, and they were keen for us to continue the woodwork program again,” he said.

“Maybe we’ll look to expand it, maybe build some stuff that they might need like a chicken coop or a rabbit enclosure.”

Sophie Ramsey at the Caroline Springs Gallery Christmas windows. (Shawn Smits)

Outback comes to town On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me … an emu up a gum tree.

The honeycomb windows at the Caroline Springs Gallery have come alive with Christmas cheer. Each window features a distinctive colour panel depicting one of the 12 days of Christmas, the Aussie way.

The decorations feature an emu up a gum tree, two pink galahs, three kookaburras, four koalas, five kangaroos, six brolgas, seven possums, eight dingoes, nine wombats, 10 lizards, 11 numbats and 12 parrots.

Melton mayor Sophie Ramsey said the creative display was a clever take on the traditional Christmas carol.

“The beautiful display has been installed for the community to enjoy, and adds a little extra Christmas cheer,” Cr Ramsey said.

“The windows certainly create a happy, festive atmosphere and will help build Christmas spirit and community pride over the festive season.”

To view the display, visit the gallery at 193 Caroline Springs Boulevard, Caroline Springs.

Other Christmas decorations are being installed at High Street, Melton, and along Caroline Springs Boulevard.

Action stations on the ring road Alexandra Laskie goes on patrol with Keilor Downs police.

The police car accelerates and we hurtle down the on ramp and on to the Western Ring Road.

The radio spits out information.

“A 59-year-old male driver has called saying he’s been affected by chemicals,” the female voice says. “He’s conscious, breathing … he doesn’t know what chemicals are involved. He’s complaining about his throat.”

The sirens aren’t on, nor the flashing red-and-blue lights, but there’s an urgency to Senior Constable David Attard’s driving.

He and First Constable Matt Jeffs are responding to an incident on the ring road, the magnitude of which is unknown until we arrive and the chemicals are identified.

The caller, a courier, had collected two consignments, the last from an address in Reservoir, and was on his way to Laverton North when he began to feel his throat tighten.

He dialled triple-0 and managed to park his old Toyota HiAce in a median strip between the freeway and the Airport Drive off ramp.

Two fire crews are first on the scene. They’ve walked the driver about 100 metres away from his van and he’s now slumped against a concrete buffer on the in-bound side of the highway.

Three firefighters huddle around him.

One, down on one knee, attaches an oxygen resuscitator mask to his face. They talk to him softly, despite the B-doubles and peak hour traffic hurtling past.

Senior Constable Attard is next in line,

SENIOR CONSTABLE DAVID ATTARD AND FIRST CONSTABLE MATT JEFFS

crouching down to find out the name of the man’s employer. Within minutes, the police officer is on to the courier driver’s boss trying to find out what the chemicals might be.

A burly VicRoads incident responder arrives and gets to work, leaving a trail of orange cones behind him as he closes off the exit ramp.

“If it’s something that’s going to explode, we’ll have to shut the whole freeway,” Constable Jeffs said. “We just need to know if it’s going to go bang. You have to think worst case scenario.”

Metropolitan Fire Brigade station officer Phil Menzies is of the same mindset.

“I’m just taking baby steps with this one,” he says.

He’s ordered two of his men to don protective wear and oxygen tanks and head down to the van. It’s their job to identify the chemicals.

Meanwhile, paramedics say the courier driver appears to have suffered an anxiety attack rather than any adverse affects from chemical exposure.

Luckily – for the team of emergency service workers and thousands of Western Ring Road commuters unaware of the potential catastrophe – the chemicals are stable.

Unbeknown to the driver, he had collected two consignments of cleaning products often used on wine vats that shouldn’t be stored together. When mixed, the potassium

The particulars are read out over the police radio network: “A female has been punched in the face by her partner. There was a three-year-old present also. She was crying on the phone.”

And then details of another incident come through: “A girl is 16. Her bother is 18. He’s kicked her. She’s hiding in the bathroom and is yelling at her. She feels unsafe.”

Senior Constable Attard says mental health issues and domestic violence make up the bulk of Brimbank police officers’ work.

Their first call-out of the shift was to a fallen

“There’s no sign of them mixing. [But] These two chemicals should not be carted together,” says one of the sergeants on the scene. “He’s probably smelt something and panicked.”

While a potential crisis has been averted, the incident has been a reminder of the danger our emergency services confront every day.

The courier driver is taken to the Western General Hospital for treatment. His vehicle is driven to a nearby carpark so he can collect it later. The off ramp is reopened.

Against all odds, the steel pole hadn’t fallen on a car, but it blocked off access to the Taylors Road and Kings Road roundabout.

Within minutes of arriving on the scene, the pair was directing traffic and placating angry drivers.

Despite the danger they place their lives in multiple times each day, the Keilor Downs-based officers appear to relish the job.

“I might miss Christmas every year, but I love it,” First Constable Jeffs said.

“I’d do it for free.”

MY BRIMBANK Sunshine Art Spaces resident visual artist Georgie Mattingley is producing a series of works for her next exhibition, which will be held in an abandoned hospital ward at Warrnambool next year. She talks with Alexandra Laskie.

What’s your connection to Sunshine?

I moved here in early 2015, so I live here locally now. And I also had a studio pretty much straight away, within two months of living here, through Brimbank council.

stereotypes … there is also a lot of low income immigration, refugees … so I actually feel that rather than shape me, it’s made me feel more connected. It’s solidified my interest in travel, culture, language, art.

What brought you to Sunshine?

I’d been working locally for three years prior to moving here and I got sick of commuting, – I was working in the meat industry, in an abattoir. I’ve got all these photos; I ended up making an art project about my time spent in the meat industry because I found it wildly, really amazing, visually – a really stunning place to work.

I’m a vegetarian. I went into the meat industry because I wanted to question my own vegetarianism. I wanted to see if I could face what was happening. It ended up being great work to support myself going through art school, and I ended up being able to make art work out of it, so it was a really good job to have for that three years … that’s when I built the connection to a lot of friends and colleagues who actually lived in Sunshine. So I convinced my partner to make the move with me.

What about your upcoming exhibition?

My next exhibition will be held in the Warrnambool Base Hospital next April or May … I did a long residency there in 2015 …

I watched surgeries taking place, I went down and visited the morgue, I went and worked with cleaners sometimes, saw the kitchen, the industrial laundry, all the different industries that make the hospital tick over So the hospital has actually opened up this old, unused, dilapidated ward that hasn’t been running for 20 years. We’re going to clean it out and hold an exhibition there.

What do you like about the area?

The people and the food. So I’ve probably had the most friends living locally with me than any other place that I’ve lived in Melbourne.

I grew up in the south eastern suburbs, in Hampton. I’ve got lots of friends from high school and primary school, but I actually feel way more connected to this area now, I think because I started working here, and also the food. My favourite food is Indian, Pakistani,

(Supplied)

What are you favourite eateries in the area?

There’s a brand new one that’s just opened up called the Mango Tree, that’s Sri Lankan cuisine … and Afghan Star, the customer service is I’m an artist and artists are often the first wave amazing, it’s a family-run business. of gentrification to move into that area … and where I shop and eat, I often think about that. Who inspires you?

I’m just scared about the prices of housing and I’ve always really liked the artwork of John Kelly – he’s a really prominent Australian painter – I how much it’s becoming unaffordable. actually didn’t know much about his sculptures I’m scared for it to change too much. until they launched that massive bronze sculpture. I walk past that and I feel so proud.

Has it shaped who you are?

Yeah definitely, I feel like Sunshine has made I was actually able to go and visit the foundry my world bigger. Because it’s so multicultural where they were making it and I actually feel and it brings together a number of different like: ‘He’s a local Sunshine guy and he’s taken social classes as well, there actually is a lot that sculpture to Paris, London, and now it’s in of wealth out here in Sunshine, against the Sunshine’ … that makes me feel really proud.

Sri Lankan and Vietnamese, and it’s all here. I spent a bit of time living in India, way before I even knew where Sunshine was … I made some connections with some Tamils over there, and they came over by boat in 2012 so I’m actually really close friends with them. I’ve got a lot of friends in the Tamil community here as well.

What could make the area better?

I love Sunshine. I’m actually worried, I’m seeing a lot of changes happening. Me moving out here is one of them. Gentrification scares me and sometimes I feel really guilty because

The Sunshine Action Committee believes the Board of Works may be deliberately withholding notification of its planning permit for a major abattoir at Derrimut.

The Association claims the delay would put the appeal period into the Christmas recess, and make it difficult to obtain signatures on objection forms.

Because of economic difficulties facing many Sunshine ratepayers, “arrangements” to pay rate arrears had been the council’s practice for more than 20 years, Town Clerk Graeme Pearson told last week’s council meeting. “Many ratepayers who are in arrears are pensioners or have financial difficulties,” he said.

Next week, the sounds of Christmas will be heard again. We will join relatives and friends to express its spirit. Memories of other years, particularly childhood, will be recalled. Here at Fairfax Community Newspapers, we asked our readers to help brighten the Christmas of needy families.

The public harmony displayed in the appointment of Margaret Giudice as Brimbank’s new mayor follows a reportedly vindictive behind-the-scene battle. The other 10 councillors displayed unprecedented degree of harmony in announcing the “unanimous” decision in public.

An exercise in mindset

(Pictures: iStock)

Lessons from a special forces trainer. By Sarah Berry

“I think what most people lack these days is grit and determination,” Toonen says.

“Physically you can train anyone to do anything – to a certain point. Genetics play a part, but the average person is never going to hit their genetic potential.”

Why? “People will do themselves out of a session before it’s even started. They’ll start coming up with excuses,” he says.

trains but also helps select some of the country’s fittest. After all, more people have climbed Everest than completed the SAS selection process worldwide, Toonen informs me.

I did pick up training tips, but what I really got from the sessions was something I didn’t expect. Physical ability is only an accessory, Toonen tells me at our first meeting. Rather, it is mindset that makes the difference to what we achieve.

This is pathetic. You should be able to do better.

Why aren’t you trying harder?

For 10 kilometres, as I scrambled up rocks and through dirt trails, I berated myself.

It was three months since I started training with special forces strength and conditioning coach, Kevin Toonen.

Originally, I was expecting to pick up some interesting training tips from someone who spent 15 years in the military and not only

“There’s a big difference between having worn a path in your brain about ‘Well, I feel tired today so I won’t do this’ or ‘I didn’t eat well last night, I won’t sleep well’, so we come up with excuses about why it’s already OK to fail as opposed to ‘Well, I’ll give it 100 per cent and keep going until I stop’.

“We put soldiers in a different league. You have to remember that they all have families, they all get yelled at from their wives, they all get tired, they all come from a normal background … it’s about becoming a complete person and mastering whatever they’re in.”

At our first session I make a mental note against my many excuses and what has become habitual when I work out: never pushing myself to my limit. I don’t like the discomfort and, since intense sport training during my school years, frankly have not seen the point.

Over the next three months I inevitably get smashed once a week and inevitably swear at Kev under my breath, but I also try to pay attention to how I deal with the sessions mentally and whether it can be an exercise in presence and staying relaxed (oddly yogic concepts from an army man) under physical pressure.

By challenging ourselves mentally, becoming aware of our attitude (and excuses), we tap into different parts of ourselves and shatter false identity, he says.

“A lot of people choose not to see something because it will cause them pain or discomfort,” Toonen explains.

“At least 80 per cent of people have a cognitive bias towards avoidance – they choose not to

do something because it’s going to cause them short-term pain instead of looking towards ‘OK if I do this now it will be good for here, here and here’.

“It’s about personal growth. Have you raised your expectations? Have you raised yourself physically and mentally?”

This is because not only does exercise improve our physical and mental fitness and quite literally allow us to move through life better, it also improves how we think and feel about ourselves, which feeds into all areas.

“From my background, I’ve seen remarkable things from unremarkable individuals – purely because our brain is capable of telling our bodies to do much more,” Toonen says.

“The hardest thing you’ve done – that’s where

you’ll cap your expectations at. Your personal growth, your physical growth, that’ll be it.

“Every time you make a tiny gain in here, in terms of your physicality, you can relate it back to the rest of your life. You never thought you’d get there, but you did.

“Then you can start asking better questions of yourself, because you can see another possibility from taking another step. All the old ideas have been washed away and instead of asking yourself what I can’t do, you ask yourself what you can do. Can you improve your position by 1 per cent? In 10 steps, you will get to 10 per cent.”

And so I push, and keep trying to develop awareness about how I hold myself back and create excuses in my own life – not just with

NEWS

exercise, but with everything. It has changed my attitude to exercise. In the end of the Manly Dam trail race, I wasn’t far off finishing in the top five females and, although I had negative self talk, I noticed it and stayed present in my body as I moved, paying attention to my own response to discomfort.

I also asked myself the questions: “Can you try any harder right now?” The response was “No”. “Are you giving it your 100 per cent right now?” The answer was “Yes”.

And that’s all any of us can do – until we break through and find a new 100 per cent, which really, is only a matter of time and a matter of mindset.

FOOD REVIEW

STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

CONSIDER THE SAUCE We all know Kenny Weir’s penchant for burgers … well …

Running ahead of time, I decide to take the scenic route to Altona’s Harrington Square, but as I pass Bezirk cafe on Millers Road, I feel a twinge of guilt.

I’d exchanged emails a while back with one of Bezirk’s proprietors with a view to doing a CTS review – but we simply haven’t got around to it yet.

Now here I am, heading to another Altona cafe to do the biz on the eve of its big opening!

Oh well … happily, after I enter Birdcage Cafe Altona, I discover the couple behind it, Adrian and Cath Davey, are the very same folks who run Bezirk – problem solved … or rather, no problem at all!

Adrian tells me their initial focus in opening a sister joint for Bezirk ran more along the lines of a hole-in-the-wall operation.

But when they found and secured 7 Harrington Square, they decided there was no other way for it than to run with gusto, with the greater space at hand.

And a lovely space it is, too.

It’s kinda minimalist, but in a warming way.

Naturally, Birdcage Cafe is doing a fine line in brekkies, including breakfast pumpkin gnocchi and apple crumble pancakes.

But with more room, and more room to cook, Birdcage Cafe is going further than Bezirk in terms of lunch offerings, running to – for instance – a Thai beef salad and a grilled salmon.

I’m told the menu testing has all been done, and I’m on hand for a sort-of softish opening

BIRDCAGE CAFE ALTONA Address: 7 Harrington Square, Altona Phone: 0414 224 821 for friends and family. So my lunch options are limited to the burgers … no matter.

Now, take it on board that my lunch has been prepared in the knowledge it is to be eaten by a food writer and that I did not pay for it.

That said … IMO (in my opinion) this fried chicken burger ($17) is a sensation!

There’s nothing particularly sophisticated about it, but …

A massive slab of crisp, juicy and tasty fried chook; cheese; rough-cut, excellent coleslaw; a single rasher of very good bacon.

Excellent chips on the side.

Really top stuff, it all is.

And so substantial that I have no room left for a chunk of Nutella baklava.

Adrian tells me they’re creating some of their sweet treats in-house, but are sourcing others from local specialists, such as Fresh Prince of Baklava.

Also keeping the righteous local vibe going are meat from Paddock to Table in Laverton and hams and the like from Sycamore Deli in Altona.

My cafe latte is marvellous.

Why Dhaba by Aangan’s renown is growing Dhaba by Aangan is delivering the very best of Indian cuisine to Keilor, serving up the aromatic dishes that have made the Aangan eateries in West Footscray and Deer Park so renowned.

It’s no surprise Dhaba by Aangan has become a popular favourite with diners in such a short amount of time.

The Dhaba success story can be attributed to owner and head chef Sumit Malothra.

Patrons won’t find this culinary genius front of house – he’s in the kitchen, busily plating up his superb creations.

Sumit has travelled all over India – and he’s delighted to be sharing his experiences, creativity and passion for good Indian food with Aangan diners.

“I designed the menu so it incorporates my travels and experiences,” he says. “I wanted to give patrons an authentic dining experience.”

It’s not just the Aangan eating houses that are prospering – Aangan also offers functions and catering packages.

“We do functions and cater for private or corporate events,” Sumit says. “Our function room can accommodate more than 80 people.

“We have an extensive catering package, with the base inclusions consisting of four entrees, four mains, rice and salad, raita, salad and pickles, and dessert.

“Our costs per head varies on the number of people we’re catering for, but here at Dhaba by Aangan we aim to give our clients a taste of authentic Indian food.

“To ensure happiness, we hire a proper decorating team to come in on the day, nice and early, and make everything fresh for functions. We’ve also done catering outside our premises in function halls – the biggest I’ve catered for is 500 people, but I know I can do more.”

Dhaba by Aangan, 3/900 Old Calder Highway, Keilor. Open every day except Tuesday from 5-10.30pm. Inquiries: 8383 3355, 9449 9331 or www.dhababyaangan.com.au

Auction: December 17 at 2pm floors contain the modern design. And with separate living zones, the floor plan creates space for families to spread their wings.

At entry, a separate lounge room typifies this dwelling’s chic styling – cathedral ceilings enhance the room’s spaciousness.

The rear, open-plan living zone consists of the kitchen, meals and dining areas. And as contemporary floor plans often have it, the main place for the family to converge is the kitchen.

Slate tiles run through this hub, the updated kitchen having granite benchtops,

lots of cupboard and bench space, a stainless-steel 900mm cooker and dishwasher. Large windows mean the cook can multi-task, watching the kids play in the backyard while he or she prepares dinner.

The house has four good-sized bedrooms and a study – the large main bedroom has a walk-in robe and en suite which features floor-to-ceiling windows and exposed beam on the ceiling. The other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and share a bathroom with spa. (The third bathroom is on the

ground floor.)

Heating and cooling, a solar system and roller shutters are features.

The property’s double garage has been converted into a rumpus room, but there’s a double carport in its place.

The brick-paved pergola is a perfect barbecue spot, the good-sized dining zone overlooking an in-ground, chlorinated, solar-heated pool, which is fenced in and surrounded by turf and palm trees.

HARVEY NORMAN FLOORING WATERGADENS SPECIAL LIFTOUT

1. SCOPE

2. PERSPECTIVE

3. SMARTSTRAND VOGUE

CHRISTMAS CHEER HITS THE FLOOR When it’s your turn to host Christmas at your place, your mind can turn to how to make your home look that bit more stylish, a tad perkier, to ramp up the festive factor. But what to do when the budget’s already taken a beating from gift buying and all the paraphernalia Christmas seems to inevitably entail?

Harvey Norman Flooring at Watergardens has a nifty, affordable solution: a lovely new floor rug.

Think about it. A rug, in the right size, can beautifully define a space. A rug’s colour palette can tie together furniture, wall paint, window dressings, benchtops and cabinetry. A rug can change the mood of a room. A well-chosen rug makes a personal design statement.

Owner Elfio Elmadi and his committed team at the destination flooring store have a remarkable range of rugs, from small to large, at prices ranging from $99 right up to $1999. They come in a rainbow of colours and in styles that reflect contemporary and traditional, adventurous and arty.

4. MANDALAY

Let’s start with the cheapest first then four others - chosen as ideas to spark your imagination and give a small peek into Harvey Norman Flooring’s vast selection.

1. Scope: Blue is rocketing up design charts right now. This smart modern one has latte accents which tie in with benches, floor tiles and wall paint often seen in that shade.

2. Perspective: Moving into the charcoals - the hottest accent colour around - this one is bold look against white floor tiles, black window frames and white wall paint. Timeless palette and contemporary oomph.

3. Smartstrand Vogue: Perfect for complementing the ‘70s look, this lime-green and white rug touches on retro but with a strong contemporary vibe.

4. Mandalay: This pale charmer has romantic vintage references that also suit the French provincial look. Also imagine it with black floorboards, next to a romantic bed, for a contemporary-eclectic look.

5. Kasbah: Highlighting the popular coffee tones, this traditional rug can act as a wonderful counterpoint to uber-contemporary decor. Just as a mix of old and new furniture pieces can be spot-on, so too will this rug surprise with its ability to complement, say, on-trend copper pendants.

5. KASBAH 48 BRIMBANK & NORTH WEST STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 13, 2016

Have a chat to the store’s experts because they can guide you – and this Harvey Norman Flooring store has ripper displays, and visual technology to make choices even easier.

All items displayed with rugs are available in-store.

Meet The Team Elfio Elmadi Elfio Elmadi, franchisee of Harvey Norman Flooring Watergardens, has been leading his crew for the past six years. He’s built the business up to become the go-to flooring supplier, not just for domestic customers, but for a raft of developers, real estate agents and architects. The commercial division is well managed to effect speedy turnarounds, with a focus on reducing project costs.

“Outstanding range of affordable flooring products”

Elfio has always had an interest in interior design and fashion and has harnessed his talents to renovate about six homes, the latest a beautiful Victorian terrace where the facade has been retained but the interiors are contemporary to the max. He has a real understanding of the renovation and building process.

His family, too, has been in the furnishings sector for many years and when this depth of experience couples with the bulk buying power of Harvey Norman, the result is a store with an outstanding range of affordable flooring products.

He has 26 installers on board so the turnaround from order to installation is smooth and fast. Customers come from far and wide - from across Melbourne, throughout the Macedon Ranges, up to Ballarat and everywhere in between.

Bamboo – is it for you?

Operations manager David Hughes, with seven years’ in-store experience, is a guru when it comes to the intricacies of flooring selections, while Adem Bajramov is a gun in the sales field and steering customers to best outcomes.

Natural strand bamboo flooring is not just really durable in high-traffic areas, it’s also eco-friendly.

Itt shares the benefits of hardwood but is actually a grass, growing to full height within three to five years, and harvested leaving the root intact. This makes it highly renewable so any fears of being part of robbing nature can be laid to rest.

Low-gloss bamboo flooring is elegant and matches all décor styles - and it stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter. It ’s also a DIY Y four-side click system, very easy to install. With its 12 coats of aluminium oxide, natural strand bamboo won’t need sanding and polishing.

Upkeep is cruisy, with just a vac or sweep needed for particles, and an occasional damp mop using a non-wax, non-alkaline floorboard cleaner. It comes with a 25-year wear warranty, too.

Of course, Harvey Norman Flooring also has a huge selection of hardwoods (solid and floating), vinyl, laminate and carpets. Developers, real estate agencies and architects, as well as homeowners, are regularly “floored” by the store’s professionalism and product selection. Find out why……

SPORT Blues’ grand final rematch set for round 2 Keilor begins its Essendon District Football League premier division premiership defence against Essendon Doutta Stars in a Sunday stand-alone match.

The season gets under way on April 1, with the Blues and Stars facing off the following day as one of five Sunday matches to be held across the season. All 10 clubs will play a Sunday match in 2016-17.

The Blues don’t have to wait long for a grand final rematch against Aberfeldie, with the two teams to face off in round two when the Blues unveil their premiership flag. They play each other a second time in round 11.

Keilor will again feature in the showcase Good Friday match against Strathmore, with all other division 1 matches the following weekend.

In division 1, Hillside and Taylors Lakes will

have a delayed start to the season. All other division 1 matches will be played on April 1, but the round one match-up between local rivals Hillside and Taylors Lakes is scheduled for Good Friday. That match will be played between rounds two and three.

With its round one match not being played until a fortnight later, Taylors Lakes will start its season against relegated Airport West, while Hillside will play Hadfield on April 8.

Hillside and Taylors Lakes will play for a second time in round 10.

All teams will have two byes. Taylors Lakes has the bye in the final round.

In division 2, Keilor Park faces the relegated Northern Saints side in round 1.

Keilor Park was the big improver this year, going from seventh to fourth. The Devils face fellow finalists Moonee Valley and Roxburgh

Park in rounds four and five respectively. For a second straight season, Burnside Heights will start its season under lights against East Sunbury.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Bears, who face three finalists of last season in the next four rounds. The Devils and Bears face off in round five and again in round 12.

This season, all divisions will have the interleague weekend of May 13-14 off, while only one match will be played on the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

All three EDFL grand finals have been put back a week from this year. The division 2 grand final will be held on September 9, the division 1 decider a day later and the Premier division grand final the following week.

Park Golf Club bestowed the honour of life membership on Wayne Byrne last Saturday night at the club’s 40th anniversary dinner celebrations. Wayne – who has been a member for more than 35 years – is also the longest serving president of the club, having held that post for nine years. Now retired and enjoying his thrice-weekly games at the club, Wayne is a very deserving recipient of the honour.

While the cup does not have the clout of previous years when Makybe Diva won it, it is still a much sought after trophy. The Werribee track looked great on television and a good crowd attended. The club will host its next meeting on Friday, January 27.

There is bound to be a very big crowd on hand at Whitten Oval this Saturday for the open training day as fans just can’t get enough of their premiership heroes. At the Inside the Kennel show last week new recruits Travis Cloke, Tim English and Patrick Lipinski were unveiled to the supporters. Cloke is getting married on New Year’s Eve, English is heading home to Western Australia to help his family pack up their farm and relocate to Perth, while Lipinski will be home in Eltham with his family. Lipinski revealed that during the Bulldogs home visit pre-draft, his mother brought out his Bulldogs membership card to show the recruiters that he was a lifelong follower of the red, white and blue. A moment when he was more red, than the other colours.

Cougars answer critics

By Lance Jenkinson Kealba-Green Gully has answered its critics in the best possible way – a seven-wicket thumping of finals contenders Burnside Springs United in the NWMCA Luscombe Shield on Saturday.

The Cougars have been hearing whispers of their vulnerability after a slow start to the season, but the two-time defending champions are back on track after consecutive wins.

“We wanted to send a bit of a message,” Cougars’ captain Evan Long said.

“People are thinking that we’re a bit vulnerable, so we wanted to be back to the Kealba of old, so to speak.

“We were ready to fire.”

Kealba-Green Gully was swift in disposing of Burnside Springs.

The Cougars rolled United for a meagre 73 in 33.1 overs.

It was the kind of clinical display the competition has come to know from the Cougars.

“We certainly put an emphasis on our fielding and bowling,” Long said.

“We were holding on to the half chances, creating the run-outs and bowling tight lines, all those sorts of things.”

Kealba-Green Gully was able to spread the wickets around.

Long led the way with 3-12 off eight overs, but there were also two each to Roshan Laksiri and Jarrod Catania.

“Even the guys who didn’t take a wicket bowled really economically, only going for two an over at the most,” Long said.

“It was a team effort where we all played our role and got the job done.”

Kealba-Green Gully wasted no time chasing down the runs.

88 BRIMBANK & NORTH WEST STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 13, 2016

The Cougars reached the target in just 19.2 overs for early finish.

It was not all smooth sailing for the Cougars though – a couple of early hiccups had them at 2-6, but Long (30no) and Laksiri (24) steadied the ship. All of a sudden, the three-peat bid is back on track for Kealba-Green Gully.

The Cougars will go in as hot favourites when they face Aberfeldie St John’s in a one-day game at Green Gully Reserve on Saturday.

“We beat them pretty convincingly in the two-dayer that we played earlier in the year, but with a one-dayer, one week you might be up and about, the next week you’re on your knees again, so we’re certainly not going to take it lightly,” Long said.

“With the momentum that we got today, we’re going to push to keep it going and make sure that we go into the Christmas break full of confidence.”

results in local subbies cricket with Werribee failing to chase down Croydon’s 138 last week. On the other hand, Hoppers Crossing defeated Balwyn who posted only 135.

Williamstown had an outright victory over Endeavour Hills and Altona lost to Bayswater.

Sun shines on multi-talent Eagle

By Lance Jenkinson Lewis Weldon has blossomed into a multi-sport star. At 27, the baseballer and softballer has hit his career peak, shown in his impressive form for Sunshine Eagles in Baseball Victoria summer league division 2 and his continued rise in the Victorian softball team.

Weldon initially found it tough to juggle the two sports, but it’s become second nature.

“I used to really struggle,” he said. “I’ve been doing it for long enough that I find it’s pretty quick to adjust now … softball is underarm, baseball is overarm, so it’s just a matter of getting your eye in from the release point.

“The fielding is pretty much the same, it’s just making that adjustment when you hit.”

It’s softball that has allowed Weldon to experience sport on a world stage. The Werribee resident has played club softball in the United States for six years, and through that landed a spot for a club team in New Zealand.

He often travels to Auckland to play with the Maisey Roosters.

And it’s softball that will give Weldon the chance to play internationally for Australia.

“The Auckland league is extremely rich in pitching and has big hitting line-ups, so it’s really top quality ball,” Weldon said. “It’s like anything, in cricket you might spend time in the nets, whereas softball you need as many at-bats as you can get to improve.”

The coming months will be huge for Weldon’s softball career. The number one Victorian catcher wants to impress national selectors to make the team for next year’s world series.

Weldon will get a chance to thrust his name forward when Australia plays Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, Samoa and Czech Republic in tests in February.

“If I play well that weekend, it will give myself a decent shot of making the world’s team,” Weldon said.

In between softball commitments, Weldon is a key player in a Sunshine baseball team that has summer league promotion in its sights.

While he’s missed some games due to softball commitments, Weldon’s numbers stack up,

and there is no doubt his catching and batting abilities make the Eagles more threatening.

Weldon’s ability to adjust to three front-line pitchers in Jared Van Hoon, Griffin Weir and Tayler Rowe impresses coach Grant Weir.

Weldon says the quality of the Eagles’ pitchers makes it easy on him.

“They throw good spots, they don’t miss too much,” Weldon said. “It’s easy to call the game knowing they’re going to hit the spot, so it’s pretty easy to control.”

Sunshine has struggled a bit in the batters box, but pitching and defence are peerless. If the Eagles can improve offensively, they should be in with a shot for top spot.

Sunshine had a 7-0 win over Port Melbourne on Saturday and face ladder-leader Werribee Giants in a blockbuster at President’s Park tonight at 6pm.

Then they take a trip to finals contenders Upwey-Ferntree Gully on Sunday at 3.30pm.

Sunshine City battles ageing roster

Shayne Comensoli has been consistent with the ball for Grand United this season, taking at least one wicket in every appearance. (Damian Visentini)

Bowlers to rescue as Gorilla bats slump Given the importance of a game featuring first versus third on the ladder, Grand United was disappointed with the way it applied itself at the crease on day one of its VTCA west A1 blockbuster with ladder-leader Williamstown Imperials at KC White Reserve on Saturday.

The Gorillas produced a below-par 155 from 58 overs, presenting an enormous task for their bowlers to defend against the best batting team in the competition so far.

Three late wickets gave the Gorillas a pulse, with Imperials recommencing their run chase at 3-38, but they still face an uphill task in the battle for first innings points.

“We didn’t bat well,” opening batsman Dean Comensoli said bluntly. “We’ve picked up three late wickets, but we still feel like we’ve got our work cut out because 150 isn’t a lot of runs to chase. If we can get a couple more quick wickets, we can put a bit of panic into their camp so that’s what we’re hoping for.”

No matter what the position Grand United

finds itself in, surrendering is not in its DNA. The Gorillas thrive with their backs to the wall, which will certainly be the case when Saturday arrives.

“It’s not the Grand United way to give up,” Comensoli said. “We always think we’re a chance. We’ve won plenty of games from spots where we didn’t think we were going to by just battling away. Things change pretty quickly with the fall of a wicket, so if we can take a couple of quick ones next weekend we feel as though we can get the points.”

Grand United didn’t hide from the fact its batting was less than satisfactory.

Youngsters Ashley Strang (26) and Ryan Comensoli (32) could hold their heads high after saving the top order from total collapse, but otherwise it was slim pickings for the recognised batsmen.

“The two kids batted well,” Dean Comensoli said. “They sort of steadied the ship there for quite a while. Ashley came in at No. 3 and was

in by the fifth ball of the day after I went out for a duck. He did really well through a tough period when the ball was still jagging around.”

Carl Comensoli (27) and captain Matthew Frew (29) produced some valuable late runs to take the total beyond 150. Initially, there was also little to smile about for Grand United with the new ball. It went 11 overs without a wicket as Imperials coasted to 0-30.

The game changed dramatically when United turned to change bowlers Dean and Shayne Comensoli in a bid to break the Imperials’ momentum. Dean, with his off spin, finished the day with two wickets, while Shayne took one. “It’s possibly put us back in the game,” Dean Comensoli said. “We feel like we’re still behind, but we’ve given ourselves a fighting chance with those three wickets.”

(Carl and Dean Comensoli are brothers; Shayne and Ryan are Carl’s sons.)

Lance Jenkinson

Sunshine City must wish it had the power to put the brakes on the clock in Bowls Victoria division 4 section 1.

City is facing a race against time with an ageing playing roster endangering the club’s role in the competition.

“We’re an ageing club,” City secretary Ian Bowker said. “We’ve got a 93-year-old playing bowls and people in their 80s and 70s.

“We’ve got no players between the ages of 20 and 50 – in fact, there’s probably no players between the ages of 20 and 60.

That makes it very hard.”

Sunshine City’s player numbers illustrate a steep decline.

Nine years ago, the club had 147 bowlers.

“We’re down to the mid 30s – about 35 or 36 bowlers,” Bowker said.

“It won’t be long before it will be uneconomical for us to continue to play bowls.”

Sunshine City needs young players to keep the club alive.

But with Sunshine RSL, Sunshine VRI, Deer Park and St Albans in close proximity, it’s hard for City to attract new faces. Some of those clubs are also struggling.

“It’s very hard to recruit,” Bowker said.

“It’s a pretty hard job when you look at the competition around the area.”

What has not changed is Sunshine City’s desire to compete.

The players keeping the club alive will never roll over.

City has struggled this season, but on Saturday took down finals contender Werribee, claiming three of the four rinks.

The win was not enough to lift City from the bottom of the ladder, but it gave its divisional survival prospects a nice boost.

What it also showed is that Sunshine City’s home ground advantage is substantial.

“We’ve got a carpet green and they couldn’t handle that,” Bowker said.

“We’ve got a good home ground advantage.

“We also beat Laverton at home, convincingly on four rinks.”

SPORT STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

Sunshine united in bid for premier turf status Sunshine United is striving to become a Victorian Turf Cricket Association powerhouse once more.

The Tigers know that lofty status cannot be obtained while they are playing in the second tier north-west division.

That is why coach Terry Nicholls is pushing to fast-track his side’s bid for promotion to the top flight.

“Sunshine United had a long history of success in the old Sunshine Cricket Association and early in the VTCA,” Nicholls said.

“We’re trying to re-establish that credibility about being recognised as one of the major competitors in this competition.”

United has made a strong start to the north-west division this season.

The Tigers are one of only two undefeated sides in the division, but their flawless record will be put to the test by third-placed Seddon at Selwyn Park on Saturday.

United could muster only 153 off 80 overs – a score that will have the bowlers a little uneasy going into day two.

Daniel Pace saved the Tigers from total disaster with a gutsy 91, which included seven fours and a six.

The Tigers’ success has largely been built around their bowling attack, which gives them hope of defending a small total this Saturday.

“That’s probably the reason, I believe, we’ve had three wins,” Nicholls said. “Our bowling has set us up.”

But United will have to make do without last week’s hero, Michael Glowacki.

Glowacki, who has taken a team-high 18 wickets at 11.4, will be unavailable for the Seddon game due to personal commitments, a week after setting the competition alight with nine wickets in an innings.

Incredibly, it was not a club record haul for a United player – club legend Bill Blair went one better by taking 10 wickets in an innings twice.

“It’s a pity that he didn’t get the 10 because he could’ve equalled the club record,” Nicholls said. “Michael will take the nine-for anyway, as long as we get the side out and win the game at the end of the day – that’s more important.”

To defend the small total, United will turn to the likes of medium pacer Nick Millar, who has 11 wickets at 12.1, and left-arm orthodox spinner Leigh Sheridan, who has nine wickets at 15.2.

United is flying high up the ladder largely thanks to the leadership of captain Neeten Chouhan and wicketkeeping of Sangaran Nandhalal.

Chouhan gave up the wicketkeeper role to focus on his batting and captaincy and it has resulted in more runs and better leadership.

“He’s had a really good start to the year with the bat and he’s really led from the front,” Nicholls said.

None of that would not be possible without Nandhalal behind the stumps.

He has taken 10 catches, picked up two stumpings and inflicted run-outs for 13 dismissals in six games.

“We’ve lost nothing in that area because he’s doing a fantastic job,” Nicholls said.

Seniors put on show-stopper VTCA weekend

Having won two of their three one-day games this season, Taylors Lakes is champing at the bit to go into the Christmas break with a win. (Luke Hemer)

Lions slip from top six

By Lance Jenkinson Taylors Lakes is experiencing its first form slump since crossing to the sub-district cricket ranks.

The Lions have lost the past two matches, including Saturday’s disappointing 31-run defeat to Noble Park at Pat Wright Senior Oval, which detached them from the top six for the first time this season.

Lions’ captain Michael Brne believes his side was “a bit overawed, a bit rushed” in its search for Noble Park’s modest total of 206.

Instead of carving a niche, the Lions were bowled out for 175 in the 77th over.

“We’ve only got ourselves to blame,” Brne said. “There was probably a couple of rash shots in there that didn’t help our cause.”

With the exception of opener Dilan Chandima, Taylors Lakes’ top order can take the brunt of the blame.

Chandima was stellar in his construction of 63 runs. Usually a free-wheeling batsman, Chandima curtailed his aggression and batted

to suit the conditions, a blueprint that he offered up, but teammates failed to follow.

“It was tough early … the ball was moving around and the pitch was hard, but it was damp underneath,” Brne said.

“Dilan proved that if you did the tough things early, you could get through.

“He summed up the conditions and really knuckled in for us.

“There were a few balls kicking at him and he’s a really aggressive batsman, but he really pulled his head in and worked the ones and twos around for us.

“We just needed someone early to go with him, and we didn’t have that.”

Taylors Lakes was 5-51 before its fightback kicked in.

Adam Dudderidge (21) and Mark Koutroubas (10) dug in through the middle order with a stubborn Chandima to reinvigorate the run chase.

But when Chandima was dismissed with the score on 8-115, it appeared as though the Lions had fired their last shot.

90 BRIMBANK & NORTH WEST STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 13, 2016

That was not the case, as injured batsman Shaun Guerra (25), who moved down the order due to a groin issue, combined with Jason Denny (27) for a 60-run ninth-wicket stand to give Noble Park a fright.

It proved to be a false dawn for Taylors Lakes – they lost Denny and Guerra in quick succession to fall short in their chase.

Brne was proud of the way his tail-enders dug in, but lamented what might have been had the top order taken care of business.

“I was really pleased that the guys fought it out,” he said. “It was a disappointing finish to get so close in the end.”

Taylors Lakes is 3-3 with one game to go before the mid-season break. Brne said the club would be “absolutely stoked” to go into Christmas with a winning record, possible if they get a win over second-placed Croydon in a one-day game at Lionheart Reserve on Saturday.

“They’re second on the ladder, but we’re champing at the bit to knock sides like these over,” Brne said.

Keilor got the chance to see how they measure up against the big guns of the VTCA senior division on a blockbuster weekend of cricket.

It was a daunting prospect on paper, facing premiership contenders Yarraville Club and Spotswood on consecutive days, but the Blues were up for the challenge and came out looking a million dollars.

They produced an eye-catching brand of cricket both days, first getting into a winnable position against the Clubbers on day one of their two-day contest, then beating the Woodsmen in a one-day game a day later.

On Saturday, Keilor had arguably the toughest assignment in local cricket against long-time powerhouse Yarraville Club at Keilor Recreation Reserve … and finished the day odds-on to upset the Clubbers after bowling them out for just 142, and putting on a commanding 2-81 in reply.

On Sunday, Keilor maintained the rage, accounting for Spotswood by 43 runs back at Keilor Recreation Reserve.

The Blues restricted the Woodsmen to 9-113 off their maximum 40 overs after two wickets apiece to Dinesh Daminda, Dan Schuppan, Chris Lee and Kaushal Lokuarachchi.

Keilor made a shaky start to its chase, limping to 5-48, but recovery came in an unbroken 108-run stand between Lachlan Sneddon (45no) and Robert Clements (69no).

In north-west division, St Albans posted 169 off 60.1 overs against Laverton on the road, thanks largely to in-form opener Simon Lambert (71).

The Saints managed to take two wickets before stumps to leave the home side in a nervous position at 2-19.

Keilor Park should have no worries wrapping up first innings points against Haig Fawkner at Ray Davies Reserve.

The Devils are 0-52 in response to the visitors’ dismal total of 95.

PEGS have also got the upper hand, easing to 0-19 in reply to Aberfeldie’s 167.

In north A1, Sunshine (0-8) requires 179 more runs to beat Sydenham-Hillside (8-186 dec) with 10 wickets in hand, while Sunshine YCW (75 and 0-9) lost its first innings to Jacana (117) on a day when 20 wickets fell at Jacana Reserve.

Ron and Jacqui Hammerton test drive Mini Cooper S Convertible

HE SAYS

SHE SAYS

S

I

ome might think the Mini Convertible is a show pony for people who like to tan while they drive, but we’re here to tell you the buffed body of this little two-door drop-top hides BMW mechanicals that deliver sufficient performance to wipe the smirk from doubters.

Our test car was the mid-range Cooper S, with its burbling transverse-mounted 141kW 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels – a layout perfected by the original Mini 57 years ago. This one can dash to 100km/h in 7.1 seconds and go around corners like a go-kart.

The latest two-door, four-seat Mini Convertible – in its third generation since BMW resurrected the iconic British brand in 2001 – is bigger than any generation before it, although the confined back seats are still just for short passengers on short trips.

The boot is weekend-away sized. Folding in 18 seconds, the fabric roof sits up on the boot, pram style, hindering the rear view.

This makes it difficult to see disappearing smirks behind you.

RON’S VERDICT

• BRIDGESTONE • FIRESTONE • SUPERCAT • DAYTON • PRIMEWELL • POTENZA • TURANZA • ECOPIA • DUELER

t had me at hello: a hint of vintage, a dash of Italia, dressed in chic champagne with racy black stripes down the bonnet. Inside, the Mini Convertible successfully mixes disco and class, flaunting an array of LED multi-coloured lights around the dash while harking back to the original Mini design in its circular instruments, vents and door handles.

Motorbike-style dials behind the steering wheel move up and down as you adjust its height, and little levers operate the ignition and roof. Super-comfortable sports seats, sat-nav and six-speed auto are standard.

Talking of the roof, stash that away in a flash and the youthful fun factor ramps up. The folded roof seriously impedes rear vision but the problem is mitigated by generous side mirrors. You can also have the roof half-up, leaving an expanded sunroof.

A small car makes parking, turning and city driving so easy but the downside is a tight, awkward boot space and a back seat that’s almost inaccessible to adults.
