Castle carols in top form Brimbank’s Carols at the Castle event promises to be bigger than ever this year. Brimbank mayor Lucinda Congreve said more food, more songs and a star-studded line-up will be delivered this Sunday at Overnewton Castle. “Carols at the Castle has always been popular – this year we’ve responded to audience requests for more singalong numbers, so that everyone can join in,” Cr Congreve said. “We have an impressive line-up of performers, as well as some much-loved Christmas characters, including elves, fairies and – if we’re good – Mr and Mrs Claus.” This year the event returns to its traditional Sunday evening timeslot and will feature Melbourne singer Rebecca Barnard, former Ferrets frontman Billy Miller, musicians Tamara Murphy, Hugh Harvey and Grant Arthur and children’s performers Carp Productions. Cr Congreve said the show will also help those who need it most. “Carols at the Castle is also an important fundraiser – with all money from ticket and merchandise sales going to the Brimbank Community Fund, which supports Brimbank’s most vulnerable,” Cr Congreve said. Gates open at 5pm. Tickets: eventbrite.com/e/carols-at-thecastle-2018-tickets-48621140139

Bikers cop a hot summer By Tate Papworth Motorcyclists using Brimbank roads can expect to be pulled over this summer – even if they’re not breaking any laws. Brimbank Highway Patrol Sergeant Andy Oakley said officers would conduct a number of operations in the summer period, with a heavy emphasis on motorcyclists. “One particular focus will be vulnerable road users such as motorcyclists,” he said. “We’ll be stopping every motorcyclist we see.”

Sergeant Oakley said motorcyclists were over-represented in accidents resulting in death or serious injury. “In the past two years in Brimbank, we’ve had 12 fatal accidents and motorcyclists make up four of those,” he said. “That’s a third of fatalities within the municipality and, it would be fair to say, motorcyclists don’t make up a third of road users. In each case, significant speeds in excess of 50 kilometres an hour over the limit were a factor.”

But motorcyclists won’t be the only target of police this summer. Sergeant Oakley said a spike in number plate thefts would also be a focus. “We’ll be running automatic number plate recognition operations,” he said. “We’ve had a number of stolen motorcycles and number plates recently. “A number of people have been arrested in recent weeks as a result. “We’ll be putting a lot more effort into that over the summer.”

Police will also be conducting a high number of breath tests across the summer. “Lots of people are breaking up for Christmas and we’d just like to remind people not to take stupid risks,” he said. “There’s plenty of ride-sharing services available and we’d encourage people to utilise those. “We’ll be out in force conducting a number of tests for drink and drug driving. “We don’t want to see anyone putting their life or the life of someone else in danger.”

Spirits lifted after trailer theft By Esther Lauaki The Christmas spirit is strong in Brimbank and Melton. Businesses from both communities have rallied together to replace a trailer full of gifts that was recently stolen from Sassella Park in Deer Park. The gifts, valued about $3000, included bikes, electronics and toys and were the centrepiece of the Deer Park Lions and Lionesses clubs’ annual raffle to be drawn at the Carols by Candlelight event on December 15. All proceeds from the raffle go to families in need, but club treasurer Bill Brincat said this

year’s raffle was in jeopardy after the trailer and its contents were stolen on October 23. “We went down to Sassella Park that morning to pick up the trailer and noticed that the lock on the shed had been tampered with and … the trailer had been taken,” Mr Brincat said. “They had a safety lock on it, but they [the offenders] had drilled through it. “We had decked out the trailer with Christmas decorations and all the gifts were in there, as well as our lights, extension cords that we use for our Carols by Candlelight event.” When businesses at Caroline Springs and Watergardens learned of the theft on Facebook, they pitched in to help.

“We had to have a crisis meeting to see if the raffle and the carols event would go ahead,” Mr Brincat said. “It’s not about the trailer being stolen … those were items for people who may not have enough money at Christmas. “The Lions and Lionesses clubs are very heartened that Bunnings Watergardens provided us with 99 per cent of the contents of the old trailer and Caroline Springs Storage King has offered us storage with security cameras and secure locks.” Storage King manager Joanne Ciantar said that the business was happy to “give back to the club that gives so much to our community”.

Culinary mix of food and friendship it’s been a lot of fun,” Ms Chan said. “There’s probably 10 different languages happening in the kitchen … but food brings people together.” Ms Chan has been busy since winning her MasterChef crown, spending time in Malaysia, launching a Melbourne restaurant, Chanteen, selling her own brand of dumplings in supermarkets and developing her own cooking show. Jesuit Social Services settlement support worker Nicole Attard said Gather and Grow played an important role for the participants.

“The aim is to learn a new set of skills as well as the English language side of thing,” Ms Attard said. “We often find sitting in a classroom is pretty limiting. “But when you’re having to interact, it really helps to develop some new relationships. “It’s a real melting pot of cultures and everyone who participates really has a lot of fun, so that’s fantastic.”

City West Water has unveiled a new interactive map. The online tool has a variety of features and shows customers reported faults and outages as well as areas where service has been recently restored. City West Water general manager customers and community Fran Duiker said the map had been rolled out after public demand. “Our customers told us they wanted easy access to our information and services,” Ms Duiker said. “We’re excited to let you know that our Outage Map is now live, so customers can quickly and easily see faults and outages across our service area online.” Reported faults and outages appear on the map as red dots. Green dots represent service faults which have recently been restored. Ms Duiker said the map made it easier to fix potential issues. “To be able to see faults and outages on a map makes it really easy to spot where City West Water is working to fix an issue or improve service. “It puts customers first, so that you can immediately see where we’re working or if you need to report a problem. “It can also reduce the need for customers to call and report a fault, because they can see if it’s already been reported and how we’re responding to it.” The map can be found online at www. citywestwater.com.au

Princess gets royal makeover

(Dennis Manktelow)

A bold makeover will transform Princess Street, St Albans into a hub for the arts. The $1.2 million upgrade is set to deliver improved safety, more trees, garden beds and seating – all in a vibrant, theatrical design. Brimbank mayor Lucinda Congreve said the makeover will create a fun place that extends the Bowery Theatre ‘Be bold’ theme out into the street. “We want to create a safe and vibrant setting that will help establish this precinct as a hub for the arts, recreation and activity,” Cr Congreve said. “Princess Street is a key connection for local residents, traders, park users and theatre-goers – so it’s important that this is a safe place where people feel comfortable getting around or meeting up with friends. “The design takes inspiration from the work of Brimbank-grown artist and provocateur, the late Leigh Bowery, after whom the Bowery Theatre at STACC was named.” Princess Street will remain open to cars, with a new shared zone to be created with safe pedestrian zones. Some temporary road closures will be needed to complete the project, with closures planned for February 2019. Access to the Princess Street carpark will be maintained via Main Road East throughout construction. Work will begin in early January and is expected to finish in March 2019.

BARBARA ROACH AND GABRIELLE DOUGLAS

Kudos for unsung duo By Tate Papworth Two unsung heroes at Caroline Chisholm Catholic College have received some due recognition. Teacher librarians Barbara Roach and Gabrielle Douglas have been shortlisted by EducationHQ in the Australia’s Unsung Hero Awards teacher librarian category. Ms Roach said it was a thrill to be one of just five people nominated for the national award. “It’s really exciting to be nominated – we actually didn’t even know we’d been nominated until a couple of our colleagues let us know,”

she said. “We were a little embarrassed because the success we’ve had here has been very much a team effort with the English staff.” The nomination comes on the back of the Braybrook school’s reading program. “We ask our year 7 students to read a book and each week we sit down with them and have a mini-conference where we ask them what they enjoyed, what they didn’t like and what they struggled with,” she said. “Our year 8 and 9 students do the same, but for them the conferences are held fortnightly.” Ms Roach said the program had delivered exceptional results for the school.

“We’ve seen a significant spike in our Naplan reading results since introducing the program,” Ms Roach said. “Our recent year 9 results were double the state average. That was our test to see if we’d made a difference … after getting those sort of results, I think it’s safe to say we have.” Unsung Heroes was established to recognise educators who do the best by their students with a minimum of fuss. They started two years ago and this year expanded to eight categories from an initial four. Details: au.educationhq.com

Bobby Allen and Siran Uhrig are happy with their recent grant. (Dennis Manktelow)

Christmas wish granted A Sunshine refugee program has received a Christmas boost, with a $10,000 grant to help expand its services in the west. The Refugee Migrant Children Centre aims to minimise disadvantage among refugee and migrant children aged from five to 18, as well as enabling independence and a sense of belonging through its mentoring programs. It was one of 50 organisations across the state to receive grants through the Westpac Foundation Community Grants program. Centre founder and chief executive, Alice Wojcik, said the money would go towards ensuring more young people in the west had access to services. “Westpac Foundation’s grant towards our

mentoring programs for recently resettled high school-aged youth has enabled us to empower 20 more kids across Melbourne’s west,” Ms Wojcik said. “This support ensures kids that now call Melbourne home are given the support they need to reach their full potential.” Westpac regional general manager for Melbourne’s west, John Pelich, said the grants will help local organisations that are working to create a more vibrant and inclusive community. “We have a long history of helping in our local communities,” Mr Pelich said. “We are proud to continue this through the Community Grants program.” Ewen McRae

Freemasons Victoria’s Western Masonic Centre will open to the public next year, offering a rare glimpse at what really goes on behind it’s traditionally closed doors. The community event will be held on Sunday, January 20, and will include a sausage sizzle, face-painting, music and a jumping castle. Tours of the lodge room and a short lecture from local masons on the ins and outs of Freemasonry will be included. Freemasons are regularly asked if their organisation is a secret society, if they wear costumes and how to join. Western District co-ordinator Emmanuel Marabeliotakis said those questions and more would be answered on the day, with no questions off limits. He said the group had long been known to “keep secrets under wraps”, but for one day only, all would be revealed. “The best way to learn more is to talk to a Freemason,” he said. “There is nothing wrong in asking and you might even feel like joining.” The Western Masonic Centre is located at 121 Callaway Boulevard, Sunshine West, with ample parking available. The event will run from 10am-4pm with tours of the lodge from 11am-noon and 1-2pm.

Southern Cross Station and Melbourne Airport, making Sunshine the major transport hub in Melbourne’s west.” The building has frontage to Hampshire Road and Mann Place and is zoned as Activity Centre – Schedule 1, opening up potential for a range of developments up to five storeys. Mr Yeh said the property’s versatility was a drawcard, offering growth prospects for investors, a well-presented first-floor space ready for occupation and attractive development opportunities in the suburb’s commercial centre. He said the local purchaser planned to hold the property as an investment and take advantage of Sunshine’s evolution.

The first major commercial property auction in Sunshine since it was confirmed that the Airport Rail Link route will go through the suburb has forecast a boost for the area. A two-level, 800-square-metre property at 242 Hampshire Road, Sunshine sold at auction last week for $3.56 million, more than $360,000 above the reserve. The building is just metres from Sunshine station, which will become the site of a major transport hub when construction on the multi-billion dollar rail link is completed. Federal government support of $5 billion for

the Airport Rail Link project will be matched by the state government. The property sold to a local investor after competition from multiple bidders. Fitzroys agents Chris Kombi and Terence Yeh sold the property in conjunction with Douglas Kay Estate Agents. Mr Kombi said the property was an attractive proposition for buyers. “Inquiry came from a range of buyers looking to capitalise on Sunshine’s status as a booming suburb that will play a key role in connecting Melbourne in the future, which spurred competitive bidding and a benchmark result,” Mr Kombi said. “The Airport Rail Link is set to make Sunshine the key link between

The next stage of work on the $1.66 million Hampshire Road upgrade will begin in early 2019. The upgrades will include new traffic signals, bike lanes and lighting along the northern end of Hampshire Road. Brimbank mayor Lucinda Congreve said the works will cater for the rapidly growing suburb. “This project will significantly improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists in the fast-growing CBD of Sunshine,” Cr Congreve said. “Council is excited to move forward with the next stage of the Hampshire Road Master Plan – which is transforming the heart of Sunshine into an attractive, well-planned space that is easy to negotiate.” The works will focus on the area between Ballarat Road and the Brimbank Community and Civic Centre. Some temporary road closures will be needed to complete the works. Drivers and pedestrians are asked to look out for and follow detour signs. Access to shops, businesses and residences in this stretch of Hampshire Road will be maintained throughout construction. The works build on already completed upgrades to Hampshire Road, which took place between Devonshire Road and the Sunshine train station and between Service Street and the man lifting cow statue.

Training program has room to grow By Tate Papworth A patch of idle land in Taylors Lakes has been put to good use. Training Employment Education and Mentoring (TEAM) – a group created to help people with disabilities find work – has rolled out its Sustainable Horticulture through Educational Diversity (SHED) program at a previously disused block of land. Under the program, disadvantaged young people from the west come together to participate in – and learn about – urban horticulture and sustainability. TEAM has secured a licence to use the

Sydenham pipe track, a linear strip of land in Taylors Lakes, to run a series of programs for local special schools and community groups. The group will host a number of programs at the site, with topics including garden to table, food gardens, indigenous gardening, job-ready horticultural training, sustainable garden design, construction and maintenance, plant propagation and composting. TEAM manager Matt Mason said the aim was to improve employability skills, promote the therapeutic benefits of horticulture and offer respite streams to disadvantaged people while encouraging environmental sustainability and a sense of community.

He said that after facing a number of hurdles, including protracted negotiations with other groups, it was nice to have a place in the west to call home and TEAM was delighted to finally secure the Talors Lakes land for its use. “This is when we were first introduced to Melbourne Water’s Our Space, Your Place initiative,” he said. “After looking at a number of different locations, TEAM settled on this property in Taylors Lakes.”

Festive trees updated A Deer Park woodworker is crafting a new branch of the Christmas tree tradition. Charlie Abela made a wooden Christmas tree for his daughter, Sharlene, a few years back. “I kept fiddling around with the tree for Sharlene and really enjoyed putting it together,” Mr Abela said. “So since then I’ve been making them and selling them to people.” The trees are a labour of love and Mr Abela said a lot of work goes into making each one. “I first have to buy the wooden pallets, dismantle them and then bring them back home,” he said. “When I’ve got them home, I sand them back, take measurements, cut them to size, add patterns, sand them back a second time and paint them. It’s a lot of work but I love it.”

Mr Abela makes trees of many shapes, sizes and colours. “Some of them have shelves on them, others lights and I’ve even done a few in football team colours,” he said. “The football team colours were the most popular last year.” Mr Abela said the trees offered a different take on traditional pine Christmas trees. “If you have limited space, these slide straight under the bed or you can hang them up,” he said. Aside from the financial aspects of selling the trees, Mr Abela says he enjoys spending time on his hobby in the garage – even if it is at the expense of his car.

Seven years for ‘brazen’ burglary By Ewen McRae A man who plead guilty to a 2015 armed burglary in St Albans has been sentenced in the County Court to seven years in prison. The court heard Tuan Tang, now 42, went to a property in St Albans on May 8, 2015, and posed as a delivery man. He was met at the door by the victim, who was holding her baby, and asked her to sign for a package he was holding. When she turned to get a pen, he asked if there was anyone else at home. When the victim turned back to Tang, he was pointing a hand gun at her. The victim replied that no one else was home, after which Tang turned to the street and waved to someone. A car pulled up and four men got out and entered the house with Tang and the victim. The court heard the victim was threatened with a taser while the men searched the house and stole a number of valuables, including $5000 cash, numerous designer handbags, alcohol, designer jewellery and sunglasses, two desktop computers, an iPad and a laptop. When the men left, Tang also stole a Mercedes Benz from the driveway. Judge Irene Lawson said it was a particularly serious case of aggravated burglary, and the sentence had to reflect that. “The offending was brazen, targeted, planned and organised,” she said. “Any person living in a civilised society ought reasonably expect that they will not be subject to invasion of their homes and such threats of violence. “Your actions are deserving of stern punishment, and on behalf of the community, I formally denounce your behaviour.” Tang will be eligible for parole in five years.

Man pleads guilty to fatal fire It was supposed to be a safe place. The chain on the door of an alcove on the old Kinnears rope factory in Footscray meant the door could only be opened from the inside. For David Griffiths and Tanya Burmeister, who secured the chain nightly, the alcove meant they didn’t have to spend nights in Melbourne’s CBD, where they begged during their days. But Darren Patrick Clover also knew the chain meant the door couldn’t be opened from outside, and driven by a jealous rage towards his former partner and new boyfriend and $2 of petrol, lit a fire outside about 11.25pm on March 1 last year. Mr Griffiths, 39, Ms Burmeister, 32, and her 15-year-old daughter Zoe were trapped by the fire and died despite the efforts of passers-by. Clover, 53, regularly threatened and abused Ms Burmeister and Mr Griffiths in the months before the fire and, the Supreme Court heard last Wednesday, told an associate: “I am going to set the squats on fire”. Clover, who lived in Delahey, had an on-off relationshipwith Ms Burmeister, prosecutor Ray Gibson said, but claimed he loved her. But his animosity increased from about two weeks before the fire, when it became clear the relationship was over for good, Mr Gibson said. Clover initially claimed to police he left the petrol outside the door for a barbecue and dismissed the allegation he knew people were inside. He later pleaded guilty to three counts of murder. On Wednesday his lawyer said Clover didn’t know Zoe was inside. Defence counsel Daniel Gurvich, QC, argued his client lit the fire without the intention to kill. Justice Jane Dixon will sentence Clover at a later date. Adam Cooper, The Age

Steering to new success By Tate Papworth Taylors Lakes racing prodigy Nick Schembri has capped off a remarkable year of kart racing. The 16-year-old was crowned 2018 Superkart Driver Of The Year and 2018 Class Champion in the no gearbox light category. Schembri said it was a terrific way to end the year. “It’s been a really good year – I achieved so much more than I set out to do,” he said. Schembri entered 2018 with a goal to record a number of wins in the non-gearbox category – which he achieved. However he also had an ambition to try his hand at one or two races in the 125 gearbox category. Although he expected to only take part in a handful of races, Schembri outperformed even his own expectations and won the state championships. “I wasn’t expecting to even really be racing in the 125 gearbox category so to win the state championships was amazing,” he said. “Next year I’ll look to do a bit more gearbox racing and hopefully I can win a national or state championship.” Gearbox karts reach speeds of up to 190km/h and Schembri said he put in many hours of practice to adjust to the fast pace. “The karts with no gearbox go at about 150km/h so there’s a bit of a difference,” he said. “It does make a difference in driving, but that’s what I practice for. “Some of the people who race have been doing this for years and they’ve been a really big help in getting me to this point as quickly as I have.”

Ballarat line disruptions A nine-day construction blitz on the Ballarat rail line is currently under way. Ballarat line users are being asked to plan ahead with trains to replaced by buses during the work. More than 300 crew members are taking part in the work, which includes track duplication, major station upgrades and putting the final touches on new train stabling at Maddingley. Regional rail revival director Mark Havryluk said coaches would replace trains until Sunday, December 16. He said that while trains were not running, crews would shift sections of the existing track to allow for additional track to be laid between Caroline Springs station and Melton as part of an 18-kilometre duplication. “Preparation work will also begin for new tracks to be laid between Bacchus Marsh station and the Maddingley stabling, and we’ll continue construction on the Millbrook and Ballan passing loops,” he said. “Passengers can look forward to improved stations, extra services and better reliability once the project is complete in late 2019.” Passengers are being asked to allow 45 minutes extra travel time while work is under way. Passengers can pick up a temporary timetable from staffed V/Line stations or download one at vline.com.au. Tate Papworth

RAISE YOUR VOICE TO HELP PREVENT SUICIDE Roses in the Ocean volunteer Melissa Yu speaking at the launch of the suicide prevention trial.

North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) is looking for people with a lived experience of suicide to be part of its work to reduce the impact of suicide in Brimbank, Melton and Macedon Ranges. Brimbank-Melton and Macedon Ranges are two of the 12 communities around Victoria being supported to develop locally relevant responses to suicide, as part of the Victorian Government’s place-based suicide prevention trial. NWMPHN CEO Adj/Associate Professor Christopher Carter said many people within our communities have a lived experience of suicide, whether through having experienced suicidal thoughts, survived a suicide attempt, cared for someone through a suicidal crisis, or being bereaved through suicide. “The voices, insight and wisdom of people with a lived experience is vital in guiding our suicide prevention work, and we really value their input as we work to reduce the number of suicides and suicide attempts in our community,” A/Prof Carter said.

NWMPHN has contracted leading lived experience organisation Roses in the Ocean to recruit people with lived experience of suicide to assist with the trials. Roses in the Ocean will support these people to advocate in their community and provide input and guidance to the development of local suicide prevention activities. Community members will also receiving mentoring support following the training. Roses in the Ocean State Coordinator Celia Taylor said getting involved with Roses in the Ocean has given her a chance to make something positive out of her experience, by telling her own story in her own way. “I think one of the main issues when you have a lived experience is actually being heard without being interrupted,” Celia said. “You just need to be heard, you need to say what you need to say. “There are lots of very learned people around, but what’s absolutely critical is knowing what it’s like to be at the centre of it, to be right in the middle of that storm and be able to say ‘this is what I experienced’.” If you think you are interested and would like to learn more, please register your interest with us at nwmphn.org.au/lived-experience A member of the Roses in the Ocean team will call you to talk about this opportunity more and help you determine your readiness to be involved.

All eyes on donations A Taylors Lakes optometry store is hoping to provide a clearer vision this Christmas, with a call for donations of pre-loved glasses. As part of the Lions Recycle for Sight program, Specsavers Taylors Lakes is collecting old glasses and sunglasses, to be delivered to those in need overseas. Optometrist Andrew Arnell said it was a program his store had huge support for. “We’re encouraging customers to donate their pre-loved glasses and give the gift of sight to someone in need for Christmas,” Mr Arnell said. “We’ve set ourselves a target of collecting 100 pairs of glasses … but the more we can collect, the better because every pair of glasses will

make a significant difference.” Collected glasses will be sent to Lions Recycle for Sight’s glasses recycling facility where they are checked for quality, cleaned and categorised. If they pass the quality tests, they are then distributed to people in need overseas through partnering charities and humanitarian organisations. “Since partnering with Lions over 10 years ago we have already helped collect over 3000 pre-loved glasses and we hope that donations will continue to grow,” Mr Arnell said. Glasses can be donated in store until Christmas. Ewen McRae

Gifts give big-hearted cheer By Ewen McRae The Brimbank Giving Tree has returned – but time is running out for residents to contribute their Christmas season donations. The program provides opportunities for residents to donate gifts of non-perishable goods to help local people who may be struggling at this time of the year. With the program wrapping up on December 12, Brimbank mayor Lucinda Congreve said every donation was crucial. “This is a great way for community members, organisations and council staff to get involved

and provide some practical assistance to people who may be feeling an additional strain as Christmas approaches,” Cr Congreve said. “Next time you’re out shopping, please consider picking up some items to donate to the program. “Council is working with local agencies to distribute the donations where the help is most needed. “We’re making it as convenient as possible to drop off items at 18 locations across Brimbank. “Brimbank is a proud, vibrant, welcoming, and thriving multicultural community.

“But we also represent the second most socio-economically disadvantaged municipality in greater Melbourne and the third most disadvantaged in Victoria. “The Giving Tree program is one of the ways our whole community can get behind a worthy cause and provide support that’s much needed.” Suggested items for donation include tinned beans, rice, vegetable oil, rolled oats, canned fruit or vegetables, packet soups, canned tuna in water, tea and coffee. For drop-off location details, visit brimbank. vic.gov.au/givingtree or call 9249 4000.

A growing tribute Monmia Primary School pupils are paying tribute to the nation’s first people. After studying indigenous culture, the Keilor Downs school’s grade 3 and 4 pupils led the push for the installation of an indigenous garden to be a centrepiece in the school’s grounds. Monmia assistant principal Lucy Vorpasso said the garden became a whole community project. “The students did a lot of research as to the sort of plants and artwork that was needed for the garden,” Ms Vorpasso said. “But there were also things like excavation works, which we had some parents and staff members generously give up their time to help complete.” While the project isn’t quite finished, Ms Vorpasso said it had already become a feature of the school grounds.

“It’s a tranquil place,” she said. “The way it’s been designed with the plants, seats and artwork really encourages a place of community where the students can come and have a chat.” The school had an opening ceremony for the garden late last month, but Ms Vorpasso said there’s a few more things to be done. “We’re consulting with experts in terms of the additional artwork we’re going to put in,” she said. “Last month’s opening was supposed to have a smoking ceremony, which didn’t go ahead because the Aboriginal elder was sick. So we’re hopeful that we can include that next time.” Tate Papworth Monmia pupil Josh enjoys the new garden. (Marco De Luca)

The St Albans Special School was victimised by Sunshine health officials during the recent typhoid scare, according to principal, Mr Ron Bry. Mr Bry said the health department of Sunshine Council “came down very heavily” on the school when one of the students in the school’s deaf unit was found to be a typhoid carrier.

The controversial Deer Park swimming pool was filled without prior consent of Sunshine Council. As The Advocate was going to print last night (Tuesday), councillors were being asked to endorse the demolition of the pool weeks after it had taken place. And they were being asked to approve in principle the construction of three netball courts on the site.

Scientific tests on the huge stockpile in Vermont Avenue, North Sunshine, last week revealed it may contain Coode Island silt – prompting Brimbank council to investigate recent earthworks at Carrington Drive Reserve in St Albans South. Coode Island silt represents the single greatest deposit of acid sulphate soil in the Melbourne area.

A bloody gang bashing at a Sunshine supermarket has left one man fighting for his life and has sparked demands for the immediate installation of CCTV cameras and extra police patrols. The demands were made by Indian men living in Sunshine who are fed up with being the target of violent crimes.

MY BRIMBANK David Lughermo is Kororoit Creek Neighborhood House committee of management president and a passionate Brimbank resident. He speaks with Ewen McRae. What is your connection to Brimbank?

committee of management, who volunteer their expertise and time, and its resolute staff, it truly is the little engine that can – and I am very proud to be its president.

Of course, there were locals here who lived, hunted and fished by the nearby creek and surrounds for many hundreds if not thousands of years. Our family moved to the area over 10 years ago.

What is it about the house that keeps you coming down to volunteer your time?

What do you like best about the area?

Essentially it is that initial vision of creating a community house for the area and hoping that it evolves as a hub of activity that betters the community and improves the area. Building on the work of others makes you want to see it through.

The area has great contrasts between the residential and industrial areas and then there’s the parks and other areas of great natural beauty like Kororoit Creek, which can make you forget for an instant that you’re roughly 15 kilometres from the CBD – then the train will pass by.

What will be happening down at the centre in the new year?

Recognition by all levels of government that we face a climate emergency and beginning to transition the economy away from fossil fuels and ultimately working on the draw down of CO2 from the atmosphere will ensure that the planet, and Brimbank in particular, remain amenable to comfortable habitation. It is, after all where we live – we all have a stake in its outcome and future generations are counting on us. Greater protection of old trees in the area, as habitat for native animals and birds, is too easily diminished. A cat curfew – all cats in before dark (I know it’s hard, bargain with their dinner). Give local critters and birds a chance. Also, everyone going out and getting a Western Bulldog membership.

(Dennis Manktelow)

What could make the area better?

Where is your favourite place to go for a feed in Brimbank? Sadie Black cafe in Albion. In fact, the Perth Avenue shops are all really good. What are your roles at the Kororoit Creek Neighbourhood House and how did you become involved? Not long after we moved to the area, we

attended a meeting as part of the safe streets campaign that evolved into the Albion Ardeer Community Club, which involved many great and dedicated people over the years from the area. Among many things the club achieved, it conducted a couple of festivals that were very successful and had as one of its objectives that the house on Selwyn Park be a community house. With the help of the council and the local state member, the ongoing work of the house’s

huge factory bonuses

We plan on continuing to expand our programs and on encouraging more community groups and individuals to use the facility and to get involved. We’re looking to engage with the local schools to see if there’s interest in homework clubs and holiday programs. Further down the track, language programs and other cultural engagement could be on the horizon. The best way to keep up is to check the website – www. kcnh.org.au What would people be surprised to know about you? The original house was home to the family of the caretaker of Selwyn Park. McKay had a vision of Albion as the suburb for the workforce of the Harvester factory and Selwyn Park as their garden and recreation area. It’s not about me – it’s all about the house!

In Melbourne, the sale of a house during a campaign rises from 63 per cent to 84 per cent when it is advertised in a newspaper. Data has been collated to create an industry service called Media Maximiser, which tags almost every property that comes on to the market with its original price, where it was advertised, when it went on the market and was finally sold, and the difference between the asking price and the final deal. This research is the first from a non-newspaper publisher that provides statistical evidence of the value of print.The amazing results have given publishers further evidence that print is still a powerful tool.2

This owner-built residence makes a statement from the get-go. Luxe interiors are a blend of quality detailing and styling. The entrance’s marble tiling soon gives way to parquetry flooring leading to the living zones. A lounge and dining space plus a study are set at the front of the house. Further back is a living room with gas log fire, step-up meals zone and rumpus. The kitchen is a clever design, with separate benches marking the territory without restricting access. A top-end chef’s domain, it has a walk-in pantry, granite benchtops, soft-closing cabinetry and Miele and Savior-Faire appliances. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, the main with a en suite and balcony. The main bathroom has a claw-foot tub and twin basin vanity. A balcony access from the landing offers a great space for dining or entertaining.

Sitting proudly on its block of about 540 square metres, this well-presented brick residence offers an easy lifestyle, close to schools, shops and freeway access. Living spaces are plentiful, with a lounge and dining area separate to a living hub incorporating the kitchen, meals and living areas. Dark trim on the floor tiling throughout the hub complements the timber kitchen’s dark stone benchtops and large windows allow plenty of natural light. There’s also a study and powder room. Upstairs there are four fitted bedrooms (the main with walk-in robe and en suite with twin basin vanity), a big rumpus/ retreat with a balcony and the main bathroom. Outside is a covered entertainment area. Inclusions are ducted heating, split-systems, security cameras, an alarm, storage room and a second kitchen. The double garage has internal access.

A front sensor light, private courtyard and single garage are inclusions. It’s in a great location, close to shops, schools and public transport, and has easy access to the Western Ring Road.

This well-presented, low-maintenance property presents a great opportunity for first home-buyers, downsizers and investors alike.

The property is within a 10-minute stroll of Keilor Plains station and five minutes or less by car from St Albans Primary School and Alfrieda Street shops and eateries.

Private sale

The house has three spacious fitted bedrooms with the same honey-toned floorboards and vertical blinds as in the living domain. The main bedroom has a fully tiled en suite with lots of storage, while the spacious main bathroom has been updated with a spa tub and curved shower cubicle. The expansive living hub, with a fireplace, incorporates a smart kitchen with a stack

of white cupboards, charcoal benches and white splashback tiles, along with a dishwasher, underbench oven and gas cooktop. An enclosed outdoor room has been added to the back.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir gets tongue-Thai’d at Farang FARANG THAI BBQ Address: Highpoint, Maribyrnong Phone: 0478 959 182 galangal, kaffir lime leaves and more. Bennie’s similar Farang box deal comes with grilled pork shoulder (moo yong) with nam jim jaow dipping sauce. He, too, loves his meal – though, in my opinion, the meat is merely very good, as opposed to my superb sausages. Our box deals have been sufficiently generous and fine to assuage our hearty appetites, but in the interests of a broader story, we order Farang’s grilled corn ($6). We have been short-changed elsewhere when ordering variations of this dish, but here we’re happy. The corn is juicy and comes with a coating of salted coconut milk and, according to the menu, sweet chilli jam. There’s precious little evidence of the latter, but we both nod approvingly as we gnaw. Bring on the dental floss. Farang Thai BBQ will, we’re told, be at Highpoint until March – after which other arrangements may kick in. It is open until 9pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; until 6pm on the other days. Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the definitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs – www.considerthesauce.net

Heading to Highpoint, we have no previous experience with the food truck iteration of Farang. I warn Bennie – and in the process, myself – to keep expectations in check. A food truck setting up a pop-up operation at a shopping centre? My scepticism is not just about the quality of the food, but also concerns over serving sizes. We are HUNGRY. We shall see. Farang is set up in shipping containers outside at the Rosamond Road side of Highpoint. It’s well done. There’s the kitchen/servery, some outdoor tables and a cosy indoor area with a bench and seating. My doubts are given a swift kick towards optimism with a view of the gleaming kitchen. I mean, how often do you see a fat mortar and pestle in such a place? We both order Farang’s meal-for-one box set for $15, myself with house-made northern Thai sausage, papaya salad, relish (nam prik noom), sticky rice and (as a sort-of garnish) the health food known as crispy pork cracklings. And – just like that (sound of fingers snapping) – there goes all my low expectations. This is some serious Thai tucker. The serve size is excellent for the price ($15). The papaya salad is wet, crunchy, delicious and studded with peanuts. The sausages? Oh my. Amazing – they explode with flavour from lemongrass,

SPORT Lions close in on two in a row After five straight losses to start the season, Taylors Lakes can sniff a second victory in succession. The Lions hold the upper hand against Ormond after an action-packed first day at Lionheart Reserve on Saturday. It was a relatively drama free start to proceedings with Ormond losing its first wicket for none before steadying to advance to 3-89. At that point, the first day was at the crossroads, with both sides giving as good as they got in the arm wrestle. Then Taylors Lakes opening bowler Dilshan Kanchana said enough is enough. Kanchana lit the match for his side to take the last seven Ormond wickets for just 21 runs. The medium pacer finished with stunning figures of 8-33 off 12-2 overs, leaving Ormond all out for 110 in 45.2 overs. Kanchana had the ball talking all day. He induced snicks from the Ormond batsmen and his wicketkeeper Lachlan Marr needed no second invitation. Marr finished with five catches – all off the bowling of Kanchana.

Dilshan Kanchana is all smiles after taking one of his eight wickets for Taylors Lakes on Saturday. (Damjan Janevski)

Kanchana’s eight-wicket haul is more scalps in one fell swoop than he had taken in his previous six games. Having played first class cricket in Sri Lanka, there was no doubt that the 23-year-old would produce such a performance for Taylors Lakes before too long. Small totals can be tricky to chase,

particularly for a side as desperate as Taylors Lakes, who is battling to move off the bottom of the ladder. However, the Lions have made a solid start and will require just 27 runs to take first innings points with six wickets left. At 3-44, Taylors Lakes needed a partnership to ease the nerves. Again it was Kanchana who combined with Nipun Sumanasinghe to turn the tide in the Lions’ favour. Kanchana and Sumanasinghe put on 38 runs for the fourth wicket. Kanchana was dismissed for 17, while Sumanasinghe continued on his merry way to finish the day on 42 not out. Sumanasinghe is a scary proposition for the Ormond bowlers. Armed with knowledge of how the Monders bowl and with some shine off the ball, he could be on the verge of a big innings for the Lions. The first order of business for Taylors Lakes on Saturday will be getting those 27 runs to secure its second win in a row. Lance Jenkinson

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ The Werribee Cup was run and won in fine style by the favourite Mahamedeis on Sunday, but the Cup day has a long way to go. No one knows that better than Ashley Baker, the club’s general manager who now has a template to work with for future Cups. It is one of the hardest jobs in sport in the west and one that comes with some pretty big handbrakes. Baker is working with a shrunken calendar due to the international commitment to the spring carnival and with a race that has lost its place in the pecking order. We all know the cup won by Makybe Diva in 2002 is a very different entity to the version run this past week. Small fields don’t mean bad racing but to only have two races with more than seven runners on cup day is very disappointing, especially for the each way punters. Lots of very good work has been done to get the club back its credibility, now its feature race day needs the same. ■ What an amazing weekend of highs and lows for Werribee’s sporting Dean brothers. Travis joined an elite group on Friday, being named captain of the Victorian Shield side. The list to have that honour includes Lawry, Harvey, Bright, Cowper, Stackpole, Redpath, Dodemaide and O’Donnell. Travis won the toss and batted but only managed 16 in a big Victorian first innings score. That night a horse he part owns with local sporting identities saluted in race five at Moonee Valley, the 55 Second Classic. The next day his siblings Matt and Shaun – who have been in scintillating batting form with Werribee – both made ducks in the Tigers’ first innings score of 209. Talk about the highs and lows.

Camilleri lands big win By Lance Jenkinson There was no need for apprehension for Keilor Downs boxer Joel Camilleri as he made his transition to a new weight division. The 28-year-old easily stripped down the weight to move into the welterweight class and forced competitors in his new division to stand up and take note after a stunning first-up fight. Camilleri hardly put a foot wrong in beating gutsy Philippines opponent Adam Diu Abdulhamid by unanimous decision to secure the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council welterweight title. It was the perfect way for Camilleri to end his 2018 campaign. “It was my first fight at welterweight, so it was great to get a victory,” he said. “I’m a pretty happy man. It opens some doors for you.” Camilleri was confident all the way through

the 10-round battle that he had Abdulhamid’s measure. The judges scorecards read 100-90, 99-91 and 100-90 in Camilleri’s favour, backing up his feeling. “I knew I’d won the fight when the bell went,” Camilleri said. “Still, it only takes one punch and he was letting some big punches go, so you are nervous in the late rounds. “At the same time I was controlled, composed and got the job done.” While it was a resounding win, Camilleri credited Abdulhamid for never giving in. Camilleri could not afford to relax until the final bell sounded. “It was a shut-out victory, but it was still a very good contest,” Camilleri said. “He was tough as nails, I hurt him a couple of times, but I couldn’t stop him. “He wasn’t taking a back step, he wanted to keep walking forward and trading blows, so I

48 BRIMBANK & NORTH WEST STAR WEEKLY \ DECEMBER 11, 2018

had to be smart, use the jab, keep moving and use my angles. “I landed a few big shots, but when I couldn’t put him down, I out-boxed him to win the rounds.” Camilleri paid tribute to his team for dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s to ensure his preparation was spot on. He turned some heads with the ease with which he crossed into the new weight division after formerly competing as a super welterweight. “I had to drop down three and a half kilograms, but I made it very easy,” he said. “I dropped down the weight and I felt comfortable as well.” Camilleri will return to training next week to start his journey for his next fight on February 22 at the Melbourne Pavilion. He is expected to put out the challenge to the Australian welterweight champion early next year.

■ The Dean boys made their inglorious scores in front of a sea of past players gathered at Chirnside Park for their annual day and the presentation of senior XI caps to all players in the club’s rich history. The coveted first eleven numbers went to famous names from the inaugural season: Eddie Marriot number 3 behind Dennis Clooney and Eddie Closter. The Combens were there: John (6) Bruce (11) and Frank Melican (9). Favourite son and the club’s most famous alumni Merv Hughes was at 65 beside his great mate Rod Harrington (64). There were 239 caps in all, and while it might cost a few dollars to set up, it is a bonding exercise like no other. I think all clubs should embrace the concept.

AFL star to steer Jets By Lance Jenkinson Western Jets have landed two-time Sydney Swans premiership star Ryan O’Keefe to coach the TAC Cup club. O’Keefe will take over from Torin Baker, who recently moved to Hawthorn in a development coaching role. O’Keefe will be entrusted with nurturing the top footballers in the western suburbs with his role encompassing overseeing the football academy program at the Maribyrnong Sports Academy. The 37-year-old is best known for his stellar career as a player in the AFL. O’Keefe was pivotal in the Swans 2005 and 2012 premierships. A big game midfield/half forward, he peaked on grand final day in 2012, taking out the Norm Smith Medal for best-on-ground in the grand final. After being drafted from the Calder Cannons, O’Keefe’s AFL career spanned 286 games for 261 goals. “Ryan O’Keefe will be making a return to the competition he was drafted from close to 20 years ago at the Calder Cannons and will bring a unique mindset of being able to relate to and understand the needs of players at this level and what will be required of them at that

next level as they progress,” AFL Victoria state talent manager Paul Hamilton said. “The players at both the Western Jets and Maribyrnong Sports Academy will benefit from having such an experienced person at the helm, who will be able to utilise his knowledge of playing at the highest level, and coaching at

state level in the SANFL. “O’Keefe, as a level four coach, will play an important role in helping further develop players in our under 18 system, but also those who are aspiring to take their game further with the Sports Academy, spending time on their skills on and off the field.” O’Keefe will not be going into the Jets coaching role cold. He has spent the past four seasons in coaching roles with the Adelaide Crows, firstly as midfield development coach and then coach of the Crows SANFL team. Maribyrnong Sports Academy director Mark McAllion was thrilled to bring O’Keefe in because of his understanding of what it takes to make it to the top level. “It’s very exciting to partner with AFL Victoria and the Western Jets to have someone with Ryan’s experience both as a player and a coach join the academy’s coaching ranks,” he said. “Torin Baker did a fantastic job in developing the program over recent years and we now look forward to Ryan taking it to an even higher level, in conjunction with assistant coaches Scott Lucas and Leon Harris. “The Academy’s AFL student-athletes are definitely very fortunate to be coached and mentored by such high quality individuals.”

Sunshine United pays for patchy batting Sunshine United has lost ground on the top two in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division. United was made to pay for its patchy batting innings. The Tigers could only muster 161 – a target which opponents Seddon had little trouble chasing down in the one-day game at Selwyn Park on Saturday. Roshan Anuruddha and Leigh Sheridan did their best to lift United to a strong total. The pair combined for 97 for the third wicket. Anuruddha was the aggressor in the partnership, making 61. Sheridan was a calming influence en route to 33. Both Anuruddha and Sheridan went out with the score on 127, which sparked a collapse

in the United batting order. The Tigers lost their last eight wickets for 34. Seddon passed the target with three overs to spare. Damith Priyadarshana led the way for the Dockers with 57. Thomas Duxson was the pick of the United bowlers with 2-26 off eight. United will make the trip to St Albans in the final two-day game before Christmas, starting on Saturday. St Albans is licking its wounds after losing to bottom side Keilor by six wickets at Kings Park. The Saints made a competitive 9-171 off 40 overs, led by Buddika Hasaranga (52) and Simon Lambert (40). It was just not enough for the Saints bowlers to defend as Keilor passed the target with two

overs to spare. In division 1 west, Deer Park’s four match losing streak is over after beating Laverton by five wickets at John McLeod Reserve. Set 171 for victory, Angelo Emmanuel led the way to victory for Deer Park with 70 not out. In division 3, Sunshine held firm in third spot on the ladder with a six-wicket win over Seabrook at Dempster Park. Sunshine Heights went down by eight wickets to East Keilor, even after Mohsin Abbas (74) and Saman Gonawala (57) had made it to 7-185 off their 40 overs. In division 4, there were wins for Grand United, St Andrews and Sydenham Hillside.

Call goes out for next generation The future looks bright at the top end for Sunshine Softball Association. However, there is still a need for an influx of numbers at the entry level for softball in the west to thrive into the future. The good news is the talent already involved in the SSA is showing plenty of promise and the state selectors are taking notice. The SSA has a stack of players, officials and umpires involved in Victorian representative teams at the under age level, from development and academy programs to state teams. SSA secretary Jo Ingram is excited to see so many representing Victoria. “There’s about half a dozen of the young ones who have been in representative teams or state teams or squads, so it’s been quite a successful season,” she said. “Particularly one of the clubs, Deer Park Softball Club, has got probably four or five from their club alone. “We actually even have some state coaches from our association as well.” In the youngest representative group, the SSA has Violet Green and Bonnie Bailey in the girls and Noah McMahon, Liam Steadman and Rhyley Witenden in the boys representing School Sports Victoria’s 12-and-under team. An encouraging sign for the future was the eight-player contingent from SSA in the under-13 development program that took teams to Adelaide this year. Greene and Bailey are joined by Sari Bailey in the girls, while Witenden and Steadman are part of the boys’ squad with Markus Ainslie, Dallas Greene and Will Kronk. Four players were part of the Softball Victoria under-15 academy program that also went to Adelaide, including Lillia Greene and Trinity Kingi-Tarei in the girls and Ethan Ainslie and Saxon Bailey in the boys. On the horizon early next year is the national championships in January, with Felicity McMahon representing the Victorian under-15 girls in Perth, while Brodie Taylor and Troy Hotere-Moana will be part of the under-15 boys in Canberra. Katarina Heteraka-Kelly is part of the Victorian under-17 state team, while Marlie Hurinui represents the Victorian under-19 girls. While there is plenty of elite talent on the books, Ingram said that SSA was hit hard at the entry level this year. She wants to see more players signing up at the SSA in the new year. “We need a really big boost,” she said. “We’ve lost quite a few kids, the numbers are down a little bit.” Lance Jenkinson

It’s all systems Go for Hyundai By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring

engine, putting out 122 kW of power and 205 Nm of torque, is available in Tucson Go and Active X mated to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The 2.0 GDi engine is also available in Tucson Elite teamed with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.

To coin a phrase, it’s all systems ‘Go’ with the MY19 Hyundai Tucson adding a new eponymous entry-level variant to the company’s most popular sports utility vehicle range. Not to be outdone by the Tucson Go, the other models – ActiveX, Elite and Highlander – have also come in for a mid-cycle makeover, which includes updated interior and exterior styling with new wheel designs, and tablet-style multimedia with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard across the range. And, as is the case with most Hyundai models, the Tucson ride and handling have also had the benefit of the ‘magic touch’ from Australian suspension and steering engineers. On test was the new entry-level Tucson, a Go 2.0 GDi 2WD six-speed automatic, priced at $30,650, plus on-road costs, with SmartSense pack ($2200). Styling Not much to see here: The hallmark Hyundai cascading grille has been redesigned, together with headlamps and daytime running lights. In profile, meaty wheel arches tie this frontal treatment in with a pleasing new rear, featuring sharper tailgate lines and refined new taillight layout. Tucson Go features 17-inch steel wheels with five-spoke wheel covers and a matching full-size spare wheel. Interior Inside, Tucson Go features a new floating tablet-style multimedia system featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, bringing it in line with the whole Hyundai SUV range.

Safety The introduction of a SmartSense safety option pack on the entry-level Go and Active X models makes advanced safety accessible on every Tucson grade. The SmartSense pack, available in automatic models for $2200, brings forward collision avoidance assist, blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision warning, lane keeping assist and driver attention warning systems among the safety and convenience features.

Sitting on top of a redesigned upper dashboard, incorporating quality materials, it brings a new classy touch to the cabin.

Driving Input by Hyundai’s Australian chassis, suspension and steering engineers has made for an easy-going character to the MY19 Tucson, even on some of the worst road surfaces around. The 2.0-litre engine of the Go is well matched with the six-speed automatic transmission, while performance and fuel economy are adjustable through a drive select system. Eco mode really is ‘granny’ gearing with the Tucson a trifle tardy off the mark.
