Detectives examine the scene where police came under fire in Derrimut Road, Hoppers Crossing. (Jason South)
Cop shooting: man charged By Charlene Macaulay A 23-year-old Werribee South man has appeared in court following a Wyndham crime spree and two shootings within 24 hours. Police allege the man fired at a car in Manor Lakes on Wednesday and at police in Hoppers Crossing on Thursday. Ashley James Rei-Paku appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Sunday on 21 charges, including shooting at police, assaulting an emergency worker and attacking another person with an axe. He was also charged with stealing a Nissan Navara, which police tried to intercept on
Derrimut Road, Hoppers Crossing, before a shot was allegedly fired at officers. The bullet hit the police car door but nobody was hurt. A lawyer for Rei-Paku told the court her client sustained broken ribs, a broken arm and cuts to his head after he and two women were arrested at the Pacific Werribee carpark, close to the scene of the shooting. She said Rei-Paku was affected by ice when he was arrested. An 18-year-old woman was charged with theft of, and theft from, a motor car and criminal damage by fire. A 21-year-old woman was released without charge.

The Manor Lakes incident happened about 4.10pm on Wednesday when a male driver stopped to help the woman driver of a stationary red Mazda causing an obstruction on Eureka Drive. He saw three men running towards his vehicle, so he drove off down Minindee Road, the court heard. At least one shot was fired at his car. Following the Pacific Werribee arrests, police found stolen vehicles, trailers and other property, including ammunition, at an address in Masthead Way, Werribee South. The Nissan Navara used in the attack on the police van was found burnt out in a nearby paddock.
Another search warrant was executed at Eureka Drive, Manor Lakes, where further stolen property was recovered. Police also: • Arrested and charged a 22-year-old man with theft of, and theft from, a motor car as well as other theft and assault-related matters. • Arrested and charged a 28-year-old man with theft of a motor vehicle. • Arrested a 24-year-old man on outstanding warrants. • Arrested a 40-year-old woman who was later released without charge. The investigation continues. - with The Age

Riverbend plan raises ruckus By Charlene Macaulay Werribee residents are calling on their council to vote down plans for a 49-block subdivision at Riverbend Historical Park. The council is considering a planning permit application to subdivide the land, which is bounded by Purchas Street and Heaths Road, into blocks of between 400 and 500 square metres. Ninety-six residents have formally objected to the planning application and 246 residents have signed an online petition calling on the council to reject the current plans.
Riverbend resident Kirsty Dolny said the blocks proposed were markedly smaller than other blocks in the area that range from 800 to 4000 square metres. “[I’m concerned] about land prices, property values in the area,” she said. “We paid a premium for the land and now we’re thinking we could potentially have 49 families in terrace housing or very small housing on our doorstep. “It really changes the whole dynamic of the area.” Ms Dolny said residents were also unimpressed with the consultation process
surrounding the development, adding that residents were initially notified about plans during the Easter school holidays when many were away. She said residents were then only given a couple of days’ notice of a resident forum held earlier this month. Riverbend resident Denise Huxtable said the number and size of blocks proposed would be out of place with the existing estate and would increase traffic congestion. “I think everybody accepts that there’s got to be some development, but there’s other things they could look at – like bigger blocks, houses
that are more in keeping with the area,” she said. The matter has been scheduled for a vote at the December council meeting. Wyndham council chief executive Kelly Grigsby said “significant consultation” had been under way since March this year, with letters posted to nearby land owners and occupiers. Ms Grigsby said two signs were erected by the applicant and the council hosted a town planning forum in early November for objectors to raise their concerns in front of councillors and council staff.
Flag identity unknown, but ‘not ISIS’
Werribee stalwart Alan Kendall’s coffin at Werribee fire station last week. (Damjan Janevski)
Family, community bid farewell Hundreds of people turned out for the funeral of Werribee stalwart Alan Kendall, who lost his battle to cancer last week, aged 66. Family and friends gathered at Werribee fire station to farewell the CFA volunteer of 47 years. Mr Kendall’s wife, Heather, delivered the eulogy, which reflected on “50 wonderful and fantastic years” with the love of her life. Mrs Kendall spoke of the sports fanatic she met in high school. “It was on a school trip to Tasmania in 1965 that we became boyfriend and girlfriend, never to part,” she said. “In 1970, we said our vows, ‘Till death do us part’,
and we meant them.” She told of her polite, gentle and caring husband, who never lost his cool and had a strong belief that family should stick together. Daughter Jodi Higgs spoke on behalf of Mr Kendall’s three children. Ms Higgs shared what came to mind when thinking of her father. “Loving, caring, supportive, passionate, humble,” she said. “Then there’s moustache, gold tooth, cuddly, bald, and big softy. “But the best word to describe dad is ‘community’. He spent all our lives teaching us the importance of community spirit.” Granddaughter Ainsley Barkby spoke fondly
of the “poppy” who was her hero. “He inspired me to be a better person and to do amazing things. I consider myself privileged to be his granddaughter.” Wyndham Caravan Club’s Phil Garner spoke of a great friend who loved caravan trips, and Werribee Fire Brigade captain Michael Wells shared stories of the brigade’s longest-serving secretary. Brigade members formed a guard of honour as Mr Kendall’s coffin left the station. Adem Saban ■ Pictures,

Police have denied a flag draped over a pedestrian overpass on the Princes Freeway last week was an Islamic State (ISIS) banner. Motorists reported seeing two people wearing balaclavas unfurl what they believed could be an ISIS flag above the freeway in Laverton, on the city-bound lane just after Point Cook Road, about 3am on November 18. Victoria Police spokeswoman Kelly Grindley confirmed police had been called to the bridge. But she insisted the flag did not bear an ISIS message. Ms Grindley would not reveal what kind of flag had been hung over the overpass or what message it contained. “It was not an ISIS flag and did not contain a threat,” she said. “Police are looking into the messaging on the banner and will be making inquiries regarding the incident.” VicRoads removed the banner about 3.30am. Islamic Council of Victoria secretary Kuranda Seyit told ABC Radio’s Jon Faine that, if true, the hanging of an IS flag was a “disturbing display in poor taste”. “The timing of this exacerbates the problem,” Mr Seyit said. “A lot of people are feeling insecure and are worried about atrocities being carried out in Australia.” Charlene Macaulay

Landing in a property boom One of Wyndham’s newest suburbs is soaring in a property bubble. Property prices in Williams Landing rose 25.9 per cent in the year to September to a median of $527,500, according to new data released by Domain Group senior economist Andrew Wilson. The suburb had the third-highest percentage jump across Melbourne’s west, behind Strathmore and Gisborne. Aberfeldie, Sunshine, Burnside, Avondale Heights, Williamstown and Keilor have also experienced large price hikes in the past year. The new figures follow Real Estate Institute of Victoria data showing Hoppers Crossing and Truganina median prices performing particularly well in the September quarter. Hocking Stuart Werribee sales consultant Scott Perry said that in his experience many Williams Landing properties had sold within days of going on the market. He said the suburb’s proximity to Westbourne Grammar, Al-Taqwa College and other amenities made it a popular choice. “[It’s got good] freeway access, its own train station and own shopping centre,” Mr Perry said. “It’s reasonably affordable in comparison to the likes of Sanctuary Lakes and Point
Cook. It’s new and modern and fresh … and we aren’t seeing a slowdown. “The estate developers have marketed that estate especially well. “It started off with a high price point and has continued to grow.” Mr Perry said the suburb, which is predominantly owner-occupied, was currently “going gangbusters”. He predicted similarly strong price growth in 2016.
‘‘
It’s new and modern and fresh . . . and we aren’t seeing a slowdown
’’
- Stuart Perry “I can’t see that there’s going to be a fall in the market,” he said. “There’s still very high demand and reasonably low stock levels.” Similarly, Barry Plant Werribee director Donald McKillop said he expected the entire Wyndham property market to remain buoyant for the rest of the year and into the first quarter of 2016. “These are the cheapest finance rates in decades,” he said. “And even if the Reserve Bank puts up interest rates, even by a percentage point, I can’t see it slowing down because the market is still affordable.”

Baby, you’re a natural With twinkling eyes and a cheeky smile, Werribee baby James Jayasekera is a natural in front of the camera. The one-year-old is one of five finalists in a statewide competition to find the first-ever face of organic baby food brand Baby Bistro. A Baby Bistro survey found Werribee bubs were among the fussiest eaters in the state, with local families among the top consumers of home-delivered organic meals. Mum Simona said she preferred to buy organic because it was the most nutritious and satisfying for her son. “His favourite is, by far, the osso bucco,” she said. Charlene Macaulay

New help in drug fight Werribee is now home to a new youth and adolescent mental health unit and day surgery. The new facilities, opened at Wyndham Clinic Private Hospital by Werribee MP Tim Pallas on Friday, have been set up to meet the demand for treatment services to combat rising mental health and substance abuse. Wyndham Clinic director Scott VickersWillis said the new unit meant residents now had more options for treatment closer to family and friends. He said the hospital was in discussions with the state government on how to best use their combined services to fight the growing ice crisis in the western suburbs. “Our current success rate with privately insured ice patients is high, utilising specific detox and rehabilitation therapy programs,� he said. Mr Pallas, who is also state Treasurer, said the government was keen to learn where
private services such as the new facility could support and work alongside public services to overcome what he said was “a huge community challenge�. “If somebody had told me six years ago that these sort of health services were being provided by the private clinic, as well as the upgrade to Werribee Mercy Hospital and the new St Vincents Hospital, there’s a real possibility I would’ve been very sceptical about it,� Mr Pallas said. “We’re starting to get investment in the amenities and services needed. The need is a compelling one.� Mr Vickers-Willis said that in the past few months, the hospital had increased its capacity to provide inpatient care by more than 40 per cent and doubled its day surgery capacity.

Revamp for hospital carparking By Charlene Macaulay Werribee Mercy Hospital and other public hospitals across the state will be required to review and publicise their carparking fees in a bid to reduce the burden on regular patients. An independent analysis commissioned by the state government has found Victorian hospitals charge different carparking rates. It also found that despite some hospitals providing discounts for regular patients, visitors and carers, the concessions were not always promoted.
The government has ordered all public hospitals to have a formal carparking policy in place by February 1 next year and to have all details of charges and concessions clearly placed at carpark entrances, payment stations and inside hospitals. The carparking changes come as a Cancer Council Victoria report into parking at cancer centres found patients were spending about $1100 a year on parking fees while receiving treatment. Health Minister Jill Hennessy said hospitals would be required to review their carparking
‘‘
Having to go to hospital regularly can be distressing - Jill Hennessy enough
’’
policies annually to ensure appropriate concessions were provided to vulnerable patients. “Having to go to hospital regularly can be distressing enough, both as a patient and a visitor, without having to worry about how much it will cost to park,� Ms Hennessy said.
Mercy Health chief executive of health services Linda Mellors said Werribee Mercy Hospital brought in about $600,000 in carparking fees in the 2014-15 financial year “after allowing for security expenses and depreciation costs for carpark equipment�. The hospital charges patients and visitors a flat daily rate of $5; for staff, it’s $4. “Free parking is granted in special circumstances; for example, for palliative-care patients and their families, or patients coming in several times a week for renal dialysis,� Dr Mellors said.

Wyndham kicks football goals By Adem Saban As well as boasting the highest number of footballers in the west, Wyndham has the facilities to match, a report has found. The AFL Victoria-led draft Western Metropolitan Football Facilities Strategy Strategy, tabled at Wyndham council’s meeting on Monday night, states the region has 4205 registered footballers. Next on the list was Melton with 2924, followed by Brimbank (2345), Hobsons Bay (2014) and Maribyrnong (1298).
Of 64 western suburbs reserves assessed, Wyndham’s rated the highest, taking into account change rooms, umpire facilities, social rooms and oval quality. Wyndham Vale South Reserve, home of the Wyndhamvale Football Club, rated highest across the five local government areas, receiving a score of 90 per cent. Keilor Park Recreation Reserve was a close second with a healthy 89 per cent. But it wasn’t positive news right across Wyndham, with Price Reserve in Werribee South scoring poorly. Lacking umpire
facilities and receiving low marks for showers, irrigation and fencing, the reserve scored 41 per cent. Werribee’s Chirnside Park received 67 per cent, a figure likely to increase after a planned redevelopment by a partnership of Wyndham council, the state government, AFL Victoria and Werribee Football Club. The lowest-rated reserves in the west were Errington Reserve in St Albans and Scovell Reserve in Maidstone, both scoring 33 per cent.
Wyndham chief executive Kelly Grigsby said the council was committed to having quality recreation and sports facilities to encourage participation in sport. “While most ovals and reserves in Wyndham meet AFL Victoria’s criteria, areas which may need improvement are older facilities requiring larger social areas and unisex change rooms,” she said. Since 2009, she added, the council had been building unisex change rooms and umpire facilities, which supported the development of women’s football.
Do-it-yourself showbiz It’s almost show time for participants in Mambourin Enterprises’ expressive arts program as they prepare for their annual performance next week. This year’s show, The Pet Olympics, tells of a group of animals and their owners who head to the fictional town of Watchamacallit for the prestigious event. Mambourin expressive arts co-ordinator Reece Howell says the show is a cross between a comedy and a musical, with the script and music entirely written by program participants with intellectual disabilities. “We tried to give participants the basic idea of what we want to do and then just let them launch into it,” he says. “They have done everything themselves … scripting, making props, costumes and acting.” The idea for the show began with an image of a cartoon animal. Mr Howell said the 32 participants all played individual roles
in the production and that this year’s show was different to those of previous years, with the first half having been performed with pre-recorded dialogue. Mambourin Enterprises is a training centre for adults with intellectual disabilities. It promotes independent living by offering employment, education and training services. The Pet Olympics will be performed on December 2 at Tattersall’s Theatre in the Wyndham Cultural Centre. There will be a matinee and an evening performance. To book, visit www.wyncc.com.au. Adem Saban The cast and crew for the Mambourin show includes Lorraine, Barbara, Lauren and Bianca. (Damjan Janevski)

Kevin Hillier finds lots to worry about in modern society
I
sense an increasing level of worrying incidents in our community and I wonder whether we’re becoming a little blasé and desensitised to this behaviour. Recently we’ve had police being shot at in Hoppers Crossing, cars being torched in a street in Tarneit, any number of drug raids and traffic stops when drugs and weapons are found in car searches. I don’t think I’m overreacting, but many people I have talked to about this are not overly concerned. I am. The thought of someone driving around with a loaded gun in their car is not something any good can come from. If you have a gun, you have full intent to use it, otherwise why would you have it in your car? I’ve written before about the number of cars I see without number plates and there seems to have been a crackdown in recent times, with police stopping them and often discovering more than just an unregistered vehicle. Our children are growing up in a world where atrocities such as those in Paris are becoming more frequent. How do you explain
a suicide bomber to a child? Little things also worry me, like the level of violence in computer games, and while dining in a family restaurant last week, up on the big screen for all to see was UFC cage-fighting. I’m not a wowser, but while my 10-year-old son is chomping his chicken nuggets and chips I don’t want him watching two adults punching and kicking the living suitcase out of each other. Are you as concerned as I am about where we are heading?
O
n a lighter note, a good friend of mine (let’s call him Chris) recently came a gutser in his local supermarket fruit and veg section. Yes, he slipped on a mushroom and tore his hamstring off the bone, a serious injury requiring surgery. While his wife was sympathetic, she also saw the funny side of it and remarked she was only sorry she wasn’t there to see it happen. With Chris confined to lying on the couch for three weeks, his wife soon lost her sense of humour when a megaphone was used as the sole means of communication from the patient. ■

Scammers prey on elderly: cops By Adem Saban Police are urging residents to look out for one another after an elderly Werribee resident fell victim to a ‘travelling salesman’. A man knocked on the victim’s door offering his services as a cleaner. After cleaning the victim’s driveway, he requested a payment of $800. Werribee detective Karina Prodan said the price he asked for was “ridiculous”, but the woman felt compelled to pass on the money. “While this particular incident wasn’t an actual criminal offence, people need to look out
for elderly family members or neighbours, and watch out for anybody going door-to-door,” she said. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned elderly people to be aware of door-to-door and home maintenance scams. According to its website, these types of scams generally involve promoting goods and services that are of poor quality or not delivered at all. “Scammers may try and sell you gardening or roofing services then bill you for additional work that you did not agree to,” the website suggests. “Sometimes they may pretend to

conduct a survey to get your personal details or disguise their sales pitch until they have been talking to you for a while.” The ACCC has issued a list of warning signs that indicate a scam, including: • Late night visits or multiple visits after rejecting their services. • Lack of identification, no identification
provided and no written quotes or receipts issued. • Demanding that offers be accepted on the spot. • Asking for a deposit or full payment that can only be paid by cash or credit card. • Failure to tell of legal rights, including rights to a cooling-off period. Other scams the ACCC warns against include dating and romance offers, shonky investment schemes, and dodgy advice about buying and selling goods or services.

Wham, slam in Tarneit Get ready to rumble – the final Platinum Wrestling Enterprises show will play out in Tarneit this Friday. Scheduled for Tarneit’s Hotel 520, the event will have 14 wrestlers going head to head, including a heavyweight bout and the crowning of a tag team champion pairing. Tarneit’s own Tass Tokatidis is looking forward to taking on international wrestler Mohamad Ali Vaez. “The thing about wrestling is that it’s a form of art, a performance art,” Tokatidis said. “But there will always be risks in what we do. A few years ago I was out for six months because of a pretty nasty spinal injury. “I’ve been wrestling for eight years, but I’ve been a fan of it my whole life. I look up to
wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin, the Rock and the Undertaker. “The atmosphere is just great at a wrestling match. The way the crowd responds when you hit a great move is priceless.” Tokatidis says lovers of wrestling can expect a lot of high-impact action and a few surprises on Friday. The action begins at 7pm on November 27. To book, call 9748 8520. Adem Saban

Sport, the great healer By Adem Saban Werribee’s Peter Cullen is so passionate about helping people experiencing disadvantage that he decided to make a difference. It was 1990, and having crossed paths with a number of people experiencing mental illness, homelessness or isolation, he decided to form Reclink. “I thought, what if we could provide an opportunity that was immediate and could move people into another world,” he said. “A world that could be caring and compassionate, something clearly life-giving, ongoing and structured. What if they could feel their bodies working, sweating endorphins, experiencing life’s natural bodily high?” Today, Reclink provides a series of broadranging programs focused on getting people to play sport. “That’s what the model has been able to achieve: including the unincluded in the best of what sport provides,” Mr Cullen said. Reclink began as a kick-to-kick program 25 years ago and now involves 10,000 people living with disadvantage. Its numerous programs involve football, cricket and street soccer teams, yoga classes, tenpin bowling, fishing and golf. “These people are suffering confusion and anxiety; their pain is being carried in their bodies,” Mr Cullen said. “Sport has become a great protector, bridge and platform for them.” He cited the story of one man who signed up to one of the football teams. “When I asked him about what he got out of playing in a team I’d set up, he told me he liked hearing people call him by his name when he trained or played,” he said. “This man used to make doctors’ appointments just to have someone to talk to

and hadn’t worked in 13 years after experiencing an extreme loss of confidence in his job at a bank. “Eventually, he did volunteer work, became the captain of a Reclink cricket team and found employment through this process of involvement and confidence-building.” Mr Cullen’s efforts were recognised by the state government last month, when he received the Service to Sport and Recreation award in
this year’s Community Sport and Recreation Awards. “I was moved that someone has taken the time to nominate me,” he said. “It’s good to know some people value what you’re doing.” Reclink Australia is celebrating 25 years with a family fun day at Peanut Farm Reserve, St Kilda, on Sunday. The action kicks off at 11am, with performers, sport activities, storytelling, and more.
CSIRO staff protest pay, work offers CSIRO staff protested outside the office of Lalor MP Joanne Ryan last Thursday as they campaigned to defend their working conditions, rights and pay. CSIRO staff association secretary Sam Popovski said staff had also experienced dramatic funding cuts, critical research had been abandoned, and there had been a 20 per cent cut to the workforce over a two-year period, due to significant reductions in federal government support. Mr Popovski said the offer currently on the table from CSIRO management slashed the current enterprise agreement drastically, triggering a nationwide protest. Ms Ryan said she supported the work undertaken by researchers, and they deserved recognition and fairer pay and conditions. “If Malcolm Turnbull is happy to enthusiastically embrace innovation, he should also look after those researchers who are at the forefront of innovation, rather than disrupting their livelihood.” Ms Ryan cited the invention of the Hendra virus vaccine for horses, wifi and the development of extendedwear contact lenses as just some of the CSIRO’s notable achievements.

YOUR SAY Put a levy on disposables
Humans are the only species that produces “rubbish�, which is a waste of resources and damaging to ourselves and our environment. We need to put a monetary value on everything we produce, especially for non-renewable resources, to take into account the environmental cost of production and disposal. South Australia, and some local councils in Victoria and elsewhere, have taken the lead by charging a levy on disposable plastic bags. Whole countries such as Scotland have also taken a stand, resulting in an 80 per cent cut in their use. A container deposit scheme would almost certainly reduce the majority of recyclable containers found in waterways etc, as South Australia has shown for years. There are benefits for kerbside collections, too. Litter traps would also help improve the quality of our waterways. But that’s another cost associated with our wasteful “growth economy�, where the real costs of consumerism are not included. Jennie Epstein, Little River

If the freeway or the tunnels are blocked, that’s it, there are no viable alternatives. Local roads are not built for anything other than occasional traffic and in an emergency (fire, flood) traffic will be too great to allow most people to leave. Public transport is not a viable alternative for most because of lack of buses or infrequent timetables, lack of security at stations and frequently crowded trains.

A year in office The role of state Treasurer is a busy one . . . preparing and delivering the annual budget, collecting revenue and promoting investment and economic growth across Victoria. Tim Pallas, who also happens to be the MP for Werribee, took some time out of his busy schedule to chat to Adem Saban and Charlene Macaulay about local issues and achievements. This week marks one year since Labor came into government. What do you think your biggest achievements have been locally? Holding true to our values. One of the things we said before the last election was the things we say we’re going to do, we will do – and we’ll do them in the time we commit to doing them. Of course, the $85 million committed for the Werribee Mercy Hospital is a big achievement. The thing I love about this is that it wasn’t an election commitment. It was just something that was provided because the need was evident. On the education side, we finally got to finish the process of the Werribee Secondary College construction and we’ve committed $7 million to completing the project. Wyndham council is keen to see the level crossings at Cottrell Street and Cherry Street removed. When can the community expect construction to start on these projects? I know there’s a lot of community concern about this and I want to be very clear: we gave a commitment that our level crossing agenda would be completed in our first two terms. I don’t anticipate that these two level crossings will be completed in our first term. That’s not to say I’m selling my community short, it’s just that if I step back in respect of these issues, I hope to be able to embellish my
case in other capital works that are imminent, important and necessary. I know they will occur but there are other things this community needs, like the arterial road network. Many locals have petitioned for the state government to build an Indian Cultural Precinct in either Point Cook or East Werribee. When will a decision be made and will it be in either of these towns? There are compelling reasons why you have to be proud of the Indian community. Many Indian members of the community have decided to call this area home and we’re lucky for that. I’ve spoken to the multicultural affairs minister and put in why I think Wyndham is such a great location. The Australian Education City Consortium has been named as the preferred bidder for the East Werribee Precinct. What, in your opinion, will this mean for the region? We have a very exciting proposal that we’re currently working through. I don’t want to over-promise on this project until we see how it all exactly stacks up. But if it does live up to its promise, it’s a very exciting proposal. Its potential for job creation is great. It will
be of great benefit to the whole state, but the principal beneficiary is this community. The region is experiencing rapid growth. How is the state government going to deal with the demand for better infrastructure with more schools, better roads, and public transport? A lot of great things are happening in public transport. Firstly, the start of the Regional Rail Link (RRL). We’re also overhauling bus timetables with additional services to be put in place. The increase in punctuality on our rail lines has been impressive, to no small extent assisted by RRL’s introduction. We’re going to have new train timetables next year, with increased metro services. We gave a commitment at the last election, and that will be honoured, that $1 billion will be allocated over eight years to the repair and upgrade of roads in Melbourne’s outer suburbs and interface communities. We have invested a significant amount into local schools, like the Werribee Secondary College rebuild and additional funding in the budget for a number of local schools. Policing figures from the Police Association reveal there are 45 first response officers per 100,000 people in Wyndham. The state
average is 102 police for every 100,000 residents. What will the state government do to address this? In our first year of government, there are already an extra 10 police on the beat in Wyndham.

The things we say we’re going to do, we will do

- Tim Pallas
Our unemployment rate was 6.8 per cent for the state when we came into government, now it’s at 5.6 per cent. I don’t think you could imagine a more dramatic turnaround in the state’s economic circumstances. It’s largely because the government got to work straight away. That’s one thing I’m thrilled about being in government. It doesn’t matter what the level of unemployment is, but it is always unacceptable and we have to bring it down. We need to work co-operatively with businesses. Farmers from Werribee South are reaching out to the state government for water security to secure their futures in the region. What’s the solution?
(Damjan Janevski)
IS IS THE LIFE There are also an extra 400 custody officers. Money was put in the budget to relieve police from having to relocate prisoners between prison cells, freeing up police to do sharp-edge police duties. There’s no doubt that, on occasions, police
resources are stretched. When we were last in government, we opened the Wyndham North police station, which took a lot of the load off.
Unemployment in the electorate is higher than a lot of others. The state average is 5.6
per cent but the town of Werribee is at 11.4 per cent, Hoppers Crossing 8.7, Wyndham Vale 8.3. In the lead-up to last year’s state election the government campaigned hard around the creation of jobs. What is being done locally?
Well I certainly take the view that our community would be much worse off if we didn’t have the farmers in Werribee South, and access to reasonably cheap and locally grown produce is critically important. I understand the capacity of the growers to get access to water is pretty low, only 10 per cent of their rights. I’ve spoken to the water minister about the issue and she’s very conscious of it. She’s working with Southern Rural Water and the local irrigators to find a solution. My clear view is I want to keep them here – and that is recognising and supporting that farmers are in difficult times at the moment.

Police probe ute driver’s death By Charlene Macaulay Police are trying to piece together the events leading up to a single-car accident in which a Werribee man in his 40s died at the weekend. Emergency services were called to the accident after passing motorists saw the twin-cab utility on the side of the Maltby Bypass, near Duncans Road, about 6.10am on Sunday. Police believe the ute was travelling towards Melbourne when it veered off the road, went through a fence and struck an embankment. The driver was found dead at the scene. The man’s death took the Victorian road

Do It in a Dress campaigners at Suzanne Cory High School. (Supplied)
Frocked up to help girls It was impossible to tell staff and students apart at Suzanne Cory High School last Wednesday – at first glance – as teachers donned school dresses to campaign for education for girls in Sierra Leone. Participating in the Do it in a Dress campaign raised funds to send the African students, with the school, staff and students collecting more than $1200 for the cause. SCHS teacher Dolly Nguyen said she was impressed with response to the campaign in its first year at the school. “We are a private, selective entry school, so staff and students know the importance of good
education,” she said. “When we heard that a girl in Sierra Leone is more likely to be sexually assaulted than go to high school, we wanted to make a difference in any way we could. “This is our way to give back and help to educate girls who might not otherwise have a chance to go to school.” Organisers say that 28 per cent of females in Sierra Leone will be married before the age of 15, only one in six attend school, and one in eight die during childbirth.

A Werribee South seedling grower has been recognised as having one of the country’s best green thumbs. James Dickson is one of 24 finalists in line for a prestigious National Agriculture Award. The head grower at Gro-Link Nursery said what he does is a combination of art and science. “In my role at Gro-Link, I’m in charge of all aspects of growing the seedlings,� he said. “What we do is supply vegetable and herb seedlings to farmers all through Victoria and interstate, selling an average of two million seedlings each week.� Mr Dickson said he was nominated for the award because of his holistic approach to standardised nursery management. “What this means is getting as close to a full understanding as possible of all inputs that interact with growing a healthy seedling. “That’s right down to the seed quality you get from the seed companies, the quality of the potting media we use to grow the seedling in, all the sterilisation practises we do with the trays, right through to the quality of the fertiliser and the interaction with the weather patterns.� “To understand the complexity, to then simplify, has taken me 20 years in the industry right across the country.� Modest about his nomination, Mr Dickson said he doesn’t do the job for the accolades; he prefers to work behind the scenes. He thanked Gro-Link Nursery owners, the Fragapane family, for giving him a free rein at his job. The head of award sponsor Syngenta Territory, Paul Luxton, said narrowing down the list of finalists had not been easy, so strong was the competition. The winner will be selected by an independent panel, to be announced on December 1.

New cup date a winner The Spring Racing Carnival may be done and dusted at Flemington, but competition is just heating up at Werribee Racing Club. The club kicked off its six-day season yesterday with a Members’ Race Day, to be followed by the Werribee Cup on December 13. The Werribee Cup, historically raced on the Wednesday before the Melbourne Cup, has struggled to hold a consistent date since an international quarantine centre opened in the suburb in 2010. New general manager Glenn Scott is confident that moving the Werribee Cup to December will be a winning formula. “The club is excited about the Cup returning to a positive race date following a number of date changes in recent years,” Mr Scott
said. “The Sunday date, combined with the Christmas theme, is already reaping benefits.” He said there had been “significant” bookings for the event made over the past month. Club chairman Leon Koch also expressed his sadness at the demise of Melbourne Cup veteran Red Cadeaux. The much-loved horse was put down over the weekend after sustaining an injury in this year’s Melbourne Cup. “Red Cadeaux had stayed here at Werribee no less than six times. Our sympathies are extended to trainer Ed Dunlop and the Red Cadeaux team,” Mr Koch said.

Wise up and cover up By Charlene Macaulay Summer is almost here, and residents across the west are being cautioned to slip, slop, slap, slide and seek as the weather heats up. A new SunSmart campaign is warning that adults are more likely to get sunburned doing day-to-day activities than on a day at the beach. Data from the 2013-14 National Sun Survey shows that 50 per cent of adults were sunburnt during summer weekends from doing activities around the home, including gardening, chores, reading or having a barbecue. Only 29 per cent of adults got sunburnt hanging out at the beach or pool, and 21 per cent got sunburnt playing sport. Figures from the Victorian Cancer Registry reveal 963 people across the western metropolitan region were diagnosed with melanoma between 2009 and 2013, including 127 in the state electorate of Williamstown, 111 in Sunbury, 86 in Melton, 82 in Altona and 77 in Werribee. From that, 148 people died. Cancer Council Victoria chief executive Todd Harper said the data showed people were getting more sun exposure than first thought. “Incidental UV exposure is catching people out,” Mr Harper said. “It may not occur to people that sun protection is just as important whether you are in the backyard, lying in the park or hanging out at the beach. “Your skin is like a memory bank; it remembers all the unprotected time outdoors – all the sunburns, tans and solarium visits. “The damage all adds up and increases your long-term risk of skin cancer.” Australasian College of Dermatologists president Chris Baker called on people to keep out of the sun during the hottest parts of the day, cover up in warm weather, wear sunscreen and get any unusual sun spots checked out.

Campaign’s a winner already Wyndham council’s Get Wyndham Moving transport campaign is proving to be a winner. The campaign won the Best Advocacy for Infrastructure Investment award at a recent National Growth Areas Alliance national congress in Sydney. Cr Heather Marcus said judges praised the diversity of strategies used in the campaign. “They also noted gains already made and believed the campaign would result in further long-term outcomes,” she said. The Get Wyndham Moving campaign began in early 2014 to address traffic and transport congestion issues in the area, particularly around level crossing removals, road upgrades and commuter carparking. The council also recruited 12 local “transport champions” to be the faces of the campaign. Wyndham council transport portfolioholder Glenn Goodfellow said the council met state and federal politicians and representatives from VicRoads to advocate for Wyndham’s transport needs. “The thing that set the campaign apart was the overwhelming support from our community,” Cr Goodfellow said. “Residents, sports clubs, schools, business and industry all got involved and managed to send a strong message to our local state and federal representatives and come up with creative solutions to our congestion problems.”
Slip, slop, slap, slide and seek . . . that’s the way to go in the Aussie summer. (iStock)

Christmas in Wyndham UE Boom 2
Fitbit Charge HR Wristband
If you have someone in your life who would love a great new tech-head approved gizmo for Christmas, the UE Boom 2 from Harvey Norman will put a lot of sparkle in their day, and up to 15 hours of rockin’ sound into their next party.
We’ll all need to jog a bit faster to work off the Christmas tuck-in, so a Fitbit Charge HR Wristband will come in mighty handy if it’s found among the gifts.
The UE Boom 2 wraps you in sound via a 360-degree wireless Logitech Bluetooth-connected speaker. Cylindrical, totally portable and waterproof down to 30 metres (safe from oops moments around the pool), it’s the perfect sound gismo to grab and go.
The Fitbit Charge HR Wristband is an all-day activity tracker (with real-time stats), heart rate monitor, calories burned calculator, a sleep tracker, step counter, a travel distance measure, an alarm and can even alert you to incoming calls on your nearby Smartphone. And all info can be wirelessly synced to your computer or Smartphone.
NutriBullet Pro 900W Nutrient Extractor
Dyson V6 Animal Handstick Vacuum Cleaner
The NutriBullet Pro 900W Nutrient Extractor sounds like a mouthful, but it’s a delicious one because this stylish looking little beauty turns fruit, veg, tough seeds and grasses into a 900ml or 500ml healthy smoothie or shake in no time.
If you have a dog lover in the family, they’d love to get a Dyson V6 Animal Handstick Vacuum Cleaner. You can ignore the jokes about never buying a vac as a present for your wife, because she’ll actually thank you for this one because even a dog lover hates the dropped fur everywhere.
If you want a healthy kick in your Christmas brunch, whizz up your fave smoothie for the family - but do add a dash of naughty. Perhaps a wee drop of vodka?
The Dyson V6 Animal Handstick Vacuum Cleaner Cleaner uses its powerful V6 motor, motorised head with carbon fibre filaments and portable flexibility to remove stubborn animal hair and odours from the carpet. The stick design ensures that it’s light and flexible enough to clean on stairs, high places and even reach under furniture.

Tradie tools, thieves’ popular pick By Adem Saban Tradies are being warned to keep an inventory of their tools, mark each item individually and secure them, after a spate of thefts across Wyndham. First Constable Madeline Gillard, of the crime investigation unit, said between 10 and 20 cars were being broken into each night, with tradesmen’s vehicles also a common target. “The biggest thing [tradies] need to do is keep an inventory of the make, model and serial number of every tool,” she said.
“They should also engrave them, as you would with a bike, with their driver’s licence number. That way, as soon as we locate stolen property we can see the number and get it back to its owner.” She said a recent operation had uncovered a number of stolen items, but police were unable to identify who the tools belonged to. “Prevention is the key,” she said. “Don’t make it easy for thieves to get stuff. We have definitely seen a significant increase in thefts from cars and utes at building and construction sites – both during the day and at night.”
‘‘
I thought it’d be safe; I’ve got big locks and chains - Mitch Pattison on it …
’’
She said police phones didn’t stop ringing from 7am until 10am because of overnight thefts. First Constable Gillard’s appeal followed a local carpenter becoming the latest victim, his stolen tools being valued at $10,000. Mitch Pattison left his trailer at a building site on Pedder Street in Wyndham Vale overnight,
and returned the next morning to find it gone. “I thought it’d be safe; I’ve got big locks and chains on it, but the next morning the whole thing was gone,” he said. “When [my partner and I] got married, our friends and families gave us money. We chose to use that money to purchase the trailer and tools, to set ourselves up for a better future. “Without my tools, I’m absolutely stuffed. “A lot of people will think that I was stupid to leave it at the house, but I am young and naive because I believe the best in people. I don’t care who stole them – I just want my tools back.”
As nature intended A Werribee horticulturist is using his plant savvy to teach locals how to grow and enjoy their own edible gardens. Craig Castree, who has worked in the horticulture industry for 40 years, recently released Edible Gardens – A Practical Guide, a book detailing how home gardeners can mix fruit, vegetables and herbs in with traditional flowers and plants to create a garden that’s both visually pleasing and good enough to eat. “We need to unlearn a lot of things here in Australia,” he said. “We’ve learnt from books that were written for an overseas climate. “We’ve become completely disconnected from our food. If you’re not growing most of your own food, you don’t get to choose what you put in your mouth – it’s chosen for you. “For instance, in Victoria, we have 1860 varieties of apple available to us. How many do you get to choose from in a supermarket? Supermarkets choose thick skins that travel

well, don’t bruise easily, that are of even shape, have good colour, that are a decent price, that can be polished. Taste and flavour are not a consideration. They sell to us what pleases our eye.” Mr Castree is a regular guest on Vasili’s Garden to Kitchen TV show and runs workshops for not-for-profit organisations to teach locals how to grow their own food. Mr Castree also teaches horticulture students at the Gordon Institute and is president of the Werribee Park Heritage Orchard. His own front and back gardens are full of fruit, vegetables and herbs, meaning he never has to go to the supermarket to get fresh produce. “An edible garden is bringing back how nature intended to grow food – in its natural state,” Mr Castree said Charlene Macaulay

Visits spark conversation By Charlene Macaulay Every Friday morning, Werribee’s Bill Hardy pops down to Baptcare Wyndham Lodge aged care centre and has a chin-wag with Barry Reid. Sometimes they talk about news and current events, other times they’ll watch a movie together. Whatever the activity, Friday mornings are a highlight for Mr Reid, who has lived at the aged care home for the past five years. Mr Reid is a beneficiary of the community visitor scheme (CVS), which pairs volunteers with aged care centre residents who have little or no family and friends to keep in touch. Mr Hardy, who also visits another Baptcare resident weekly, said everyone has an interesting story to tell. “We’re all going to finish up somewhere like this, and I really hope, when the time comes, someone will come and visit me,” Mr Hardy said. The CVS is run by various organisations around Victoria, including Multiple Sclerosis Australia, which runs the Wyndham service. The program is not exclusive to MS sufferers – rather, it exists to provide socially isolated recipients with a like-minded volunteer, who visits them for friendship and to reduce their social isolation. MS Australia is keen to find more volunteers in the Point Cook area. MS community visitors scheme manager Esis Tawfik said volunteers must be able to visit people at least once a fortnight. “This is an incredibly important service that is simple and easy to be involved in,” Ms Tawfik said. For more information about the CVD, email cvsrecruitment@ms.org.au or call Annie on 9845 2729.
Melton small businesses get a leg-up Point Cook’s BizBuddyHub is extending its tentacles with plans to host a pop-up event at Melton. The grassroots initiative aims to bring small businesses and solo workers together through a collaborative co-working space, and it will host an event at Western Bace next month. BizBuddyHub co-founder Sara Mitchell said the pop-up event will be a co-working, co-learning opportunity, with keynote speaker AJ Kulatung, an entrepreneur and founder of the NT Young Professionals Network. Mr Kulatung created the first technology training centre for small business owners in the Northern Territory, and founded a training program teaching teenagers how to start up and run their own businesses. “The aim is for participants to walk away from the workshop with a business canvas model for their business,” Ms Mitchell said. Ms Mitchell said since BizBuddyHub’s inception earlier this year, it has hosted a delegation of government officials from the Kunming City Administration Institute in China, taking them to visit Western Bace and the NAB Village at Docklands. The next event will be held at Western Bace at Melton South on December 1. Details: http://bit.ly/214tRqz Adem Saban

Work starts on new school
Festival volunteers get ready for a rockin’ good time.
Season’s songs lakeside By Adem Saban Christmas at the Lakes is on again this year at Point Cook, signalling the time for everyone to wind down and get into the festive spirit. Now in its 10th year, the festival will feature crowd favourites, including live performances and Christmas carols sung by local talent and school children, children’s rides, an animal
farm, face painting, food and craft stalls, a visit from Santa, and the popular fireworks finale. Christmas at the Lakes spokesman Kevin Birtles said the festival has become an important event to bring the Point Cook community together, put on by local business people, community groups and residents. “Over the last few years, we have seen this
event grow, with a massive turnout from the community,” he said. “This is truly a community event. It is put together by a volunteer committee and supported by the local CFA, Lions and Rotary clubs.” The event will be held at Breezewater Reserve, Sanctuary Lakes, on December 5, from 11am until 9.30pm.
The first sod has been turned and a new school for Point Cook is on its way. Point Cook South P-9 College at Boardwalk Boulevard will open its gates to students on the first day of term one in 2017. Education Minister James Merlino, who visited the site last week, said the school would specialise in environmental programs. “Melbourne’s west is growing and we need to keep investing in schools,” he said. “Investment is the key to ensuring young people of the west get the education they deserve.” Altona MP Jill Hennessy said the new school was important for the region. “We have unimaginable growth in the region and this school will help beat the demand pressures we are experiencing in schools,” she said. Wyndham mayor Adele Hegedich said she was pleased work had started. “Wyndham’s extremely rapid growth, which includes 11 babies being born a day, means more schools are required to provide local education facilities for current and future generations,” she said. “Wyndham council looks forward to working closely with the state government to deliver more much-needed infrastructure for our residents.” The school is one of 15 to be built across the state in partnership with consortium Learning Communities Victoria, creating 600 jobs.

One of Werribee’s major battles of recent times; of trying to ensure that development of Melton would not result in the Werribee River becoming a sewer, has been won according to Cr Neville Hudson, shire president.
A government announcement on a controversial drug testing centre for Werribee is expected within the next few weeks. Legislation controlling the use of animals at such centres is expected to be introduced this week.
Many Werribee families are facing a bleak Christmas this year because of the burden of paying off home mortgage loans, a welfare worker said last week. A financial counsellor at Werribee Family Services said some people trying to pay off housing loans would find it easier paying rent.
Werribee South farmers fear swelling water prices and uncertainty over future viability could drown their livelihood. The concerns were raised at a meeting in Hoppers Crossing last Friday to discuss Southern Rural Water’s pricing plan.

The Golden Mile From
muddy track
to shopping highway
From pig farm and RAAF Base to a shopping jewel in three decades.
It’s from here that Hoppers Crossing got its name. Stephen Hopper (1832-1908) and his family operated the crossing long before it got moved to its present location to satisfy customer access demands at a big gun of retail. A strip of small shops had already clustered around the railway crossing but when the “big boys” moved in, there was a flurry of land buying, with large outlets opening up along the road now colloquially and affectionately known as the “Golden Mile”.
Another key factor that led to the area’s growth was the council’s decision to buy eight hectares of land on Old Geelong Road for a depot in the ’80s. The construction of the Forsyth Road overpass in the same decade also opened up Hoppers Crossing by providing a link between Old Geelong Road and the Princes Freeway. This vibrant three-kilometre stretch, home to retail giants and the biggest and busiest shopping precinct in Wyndham, was 30 years ago a road that seemed more like a muddy four-wheel driving course with nothing around but a huge pig farm and a few scattered houses. A local council engineer at the time, John Nicol, was laughed at when he predicted the area would become a “golden mile”. He’s had the last laugh as this prime stretch of retail gold has taken its place as a shopping jewel of Melbourne. Mr Nicol’s crystal ball is no longer needed. The future has well and truly arrived in Old Geelong Road. Carole Levy

If you look back far enough, you’ll find that Old Geelong Road was a Cobb & Co route between Melbourne and Geelong, with a staging area at the Chirnside Park end of Werribee’s Watton Street. But then the “steel horses” took over in the form of the Geelong to Melbourne railway line.

The Golden Mile Tigers Clubhouse is a-buzz An idea in 2001 of having a social club in support of Werribee Football Club has evolved to such an extent that The Tigers Clubhouse is now a community hub popular with locals and out-of-town visitors alike. Manager Rhys New says it’s the variety of entertainment and the generous membership packages that have helped win the clubhouse its success. “We have something for every family member,� he says. “There’s an outdoor playground for the kids and on Sundays they eat for free. “We have a sports bar with seven large screens to watch the cricket and major sporting events, TAB facilities and poker tournaments. And our bistro has all the pub faves, along with other dishes served
with restaurant flair. Tuesdays are all about schnitzels, Wednesday, steak and seafood, and Thursday $15 burgers. Two or three-course seniors’ meals are also on the daily menu.� Live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights and lazy Sunday afternoons are also big drawcards. This Friday (November 27), Party Rock, a hot covers band, will play classic hits and top-40 favourites. The next night, Unlimited will deliver great live music and an innovative show. At 2pm on Sunday afternoon, Dave Allen is in the building, unleashing his rock ‘n’ roll tribute show. Christmas at The Tigers Clubhouse promises to be a treat, with Robert Edge providing entertainment during a three-course lunch – with special member prices.

Old Geelong Road, the west’s retail hub Outdoor showstoppers The Amani outdoor lounge collection became one of the biggest sellers at Outdoor Living Direct as soon as it hit the showroom floor. John Strahan, owner since the store’s inception five years ago, says the Amani range reflects the on-trend quality on show across the store’s line-up. “My family has always loved outdoor entertaining and has a real appreciation of what makes outdoor spaces stylish, comfortable and liveable,” he says. “The Amani collection is just one example of how an outdoor area can have instant cachet with the right pieces. “Amani is able to be customised, with component pieces such as corner chairs, armchairs, ottomans and various-sized coffee tables providing flexibility. And we have a big selection of rattan and cushion colours so outdoor decor can easily blend with indoor styling.” John likes to keep his store filled with the best from Europe and Asia, countries he travels to a couple of times a year to see the latest ideas. “We’re not just about being on-trend,” he says. “We’re also big on comfort and durability, and choose only those pieces we’d be happy to have in our own backyard. We even give every piece of furniture the ‘sit’ test, making sure all our items are truly comfortable. There’s nothing worse than having a bit of furniture that looks good but is a pain in the backside to sit in.” Outdoor sofas, balcony and poolside furniture, dining sets and garden accessories make up the range at Outdoor Living Direct. There are items just right for the small inner-city balcony through to the biggest backyards – and commercial areas are also well catered for. The store’s team members love what they sell, with many of them buying pieces for their own homes. They have a good understanding of what makes an outdoor space sing and are able to guide customers to good choices that work for their lifestyles and budgets. “Furnishing an outdoor area is not just about acquiring fancy possessions,” explains John. “It’s more to do with being able to enjoy the outdoors, relaxing in comfort but with a flair that our pieces afford.” The flagship store in Cheltenham also has a fine display of outdoor furniture at its best and there’s an online store where all products can be viewed and purchased. Deliveries are made Australiawide. Outdoor Living Direct, 283 Old Geelong Road, Hoppers Crossing. Opens 9.30am-5pm Monday-Saturday and 10am-5pm Sunday.

MY WYNDHAM Paige Smith is a singer and songwriter keen to hit the big time. The 17-year-old Hoppers Crossing resident tells Charlene Macaulay about focusing on music full-time, her band Direct Current and plans to release an album next year.
What sparked your interest in music? From a young age, I was always going to watch anything to do with music. Mum sang a little bit when she was younger, but it was more something that I got into as a hobby. I did a bit of singing in primary school, in a choir, and it just built from there. I did singing lessons for about a year, and then I started playing guitar. I also play piano. You dropped out of high school to focus on your music. How did you come to that decision, and what did your parents say? I left at the end of year 10 to make music my full-time priority, rather than sharing my energy between school and music. I joined an artist development program, which is run by Steve Jaz at the Universal School of Music, to develop myself and be able to manage myself, rather than have someone do that for me. It wasn’t a hard decision. My parents were supportive – they told me that I had to put 100 per cent of my time and effort into it. What’s a typical week like for you? It’s all about music. I have the main things I do every day of the week – practising guitar, singing and piano – and I’ve been running a few events recently, so I’ve got to do flyers and promotions for that. Wednesday is my meeting day, and I go and communicate with people in
my team – that is, people who are also doing the artist development program – and we workshop what we’ve been doing. Weekends normally tend to be gigs, and there’s also rehearsals and stuff. We normally do one to two gigs a week. You perform both as a solo artist, and with a band, Direct Current. Tell me about the band. We’ve been together for just over a year now, and we’re at the stage where we’ve just started to work on original material. We’ve been playing a lot of covers, and that’s how we’ve built our reputation as a band, but we’re hoping to get an album written by the middle of next year. What, or who, inspires you? Taylor Swift was my first big inspiration. I went to her concert after I first started singing – it was the first concert I ever went to – and I could see myself on that stage, and I could see myself playing that guitar and singing. As I’ve gotten a bit older, it’s changed a little bit. She’s still one of my biggest inspirations, but I’m looking more at female rock artists and how they change society. One of my other big inspirations is Stevie Nicks. What’s the music scene like in Wyndham, and across the western suburbs? It’s pretty good around here. It can be hard for young artists getting gigs. A lot of people think that because you’re young, you’re not experienced, and in that sense it’s hard. But there’s a lot of activities and opportunities for young ones here too. We’ve built a reputation now – we’ve played at different venues.

FOOD REVIEW
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir treks on in pursuit of the ultimate chicken shop Manok replaces the long-standing chook shop on Somerville Road on the small shopping strip at that road’s intersection with the Princes Highway. Team CTS has visited twice now and had enjoyable meals on both occasions. But we recommend keeping expectations in check. Even with the new Manok crew on deck, this remains a chicken shop – albeit with a few twists – and fast food is the go. The service is fine, and we love and applaud that our in-house meals are served on enamelled plates with metal cutlery, though takeaway customers get styrofoam. Our biggest hit by far is the chicken burger ($10). Bennie orders this, and I’m envious. He loves every mouthful. It’s a simple thing – pulled roast chicken mixed with house-made peanut sauce, and placed between the bun bookends with coleslaw. How good does it look? This is the sort of creation that could see Manok develop a bit of a cult following, and end up on lists. The chips ($3.50) that come with Bennie’s sandwich are fine, fresh and hot. That makes them a step above those that accompanied my burger on an earlier visit – these were just OK. The beef burger ($10, $1 extra for bacon) was pretty handy, too.
MANOK Address: 351 Somerville Road, Yarraville. Phone: 9315 1440 Much better than you’d routinely get in chicken shops across the city, though I did wish for a bit more charred beef flavour. And the chicken? There’s a choice of two – regular and lemon grass. CTS pal Marnie and I both go for the latter, with the half chook and salad costing $12.90. I find it enjoyable, but a bit average. I’d like a bit more flavour oomph from the chook – I end up wishing I’d ordered the regular and got that crusty, salty taste explosion that goes with old-school chicken shop poultry. The Greek salad is acceptable. But, with this sort of chicken in this sort of setting, I’d much prefer to have a good coleslaw on hand.

BEST BIKKIES
Like many people, I have friends and workmates who are gluten intolerant. One particular friend just loves cookies so for her birthday this year I decided a big box of home-baked gluten free cookies would make the perfect present. I went to work online, hunting down the best gluten-free biscuit recipe I could find. Some required an endless, sometimes mind-boggling array of ingredients … xantham gum, potato flour, sorghum flour … stardust from the horn of a unicorn (just kidding with that last one, but you get my drift!) Quite frankly, I wanted something simple but decadent – something that tasted just like a “normal” cookie and didn’t require me to go to the ends of the earth to hunt down the ingredients. In the end, I came back to a recipe I already had from www.taste.com.au but hadn’t yet tried. I wish I’d tried it sooner! These gluten-free chocolate quinoa cookies didn’t take long to throw together. The addition of quinoa flakes gave them a crunchy texture. My friend absolutely LOVED them. So did the people in her office, one of whom immediately asked for the recipe! I dipped mine in white and dark chocolate as an added treat.
DENIS WALTER, SINGER AND HOST OF 3AW AFTERNOONS
CHOCOLATE QUINOA COOKIES ½ cup cocoa powder 1½ cups gluten-free plain flour 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder 1 cup quinoa flakes (you’ll find these in the health food section at your supermarket) ½ cup gluten-free milk chocolate chips 1 cup caster sugar 200g butter, melted and cooled slightly 1 egg white, lightly beaten
FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? DW: I am someone who could happily while away hours every day cooking so I am keen and maybe above average. FB: What is your signature dish? DW: Signature dish is a Donna Hay recipe for white pepper grilled chicken, using both pepper and fennel seeds. It is easy and outstanding.
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line two large baking trays with baking paper. Sift cocoa, flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add quinoa, chocolate chips and sugar. Stir to combine. Add butter and egg white. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into balls. Place four centimetres apart on trays.
FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? DW: Gyozas, spring rolls and a pad thai. Now there’s a trip through Asia.
As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au
FB: What is your favourite food TV show and who is your favourite TV food person? DW: I enjoy Rick Stein because you get the food journey and travel experience but my favourite is Food Safari because of the wide variety of cuisines.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, swapping trays around halfway through, or until just firm to touch. Let stand on trays for five minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
FB: What is your favourite food? DW: A good curry is very hard to beat. FB: What is your favourite drink? DW: A beer followed by a shiraz or two with dinner. If I’m dieting, I like a drink called a skinny bitch … vodka, lime and soda. Low on calories and great with loads of ice. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? DW: Bill Clinton, Oprah, Ernie Sigley, Lady Gaga and Don Rickles. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? DW: Clean up as you go but not at the expense of the dish. Sometimes a bit of mess is hard to avoid.

Live your life As soon as Robert and Sue Wouda moved into Palm Lake Resort Truganina, the first thing they did was go for a swim in the indoor heated pool. Then they hit the gym.
“We love to travel and we definitely feel secure locking up our home in a gated community and heading to our next adventure,” Robert explains. “It made the downsizing decision easy.”
The couple, married for more than 40 years, were looking for a lifestyle change after spending most of their lives in Hoppers Crossing.
The world-class facility for active, mature-age people has a luxurious air-conditioned 49-seat cinema, an all-weather undercover bowling green and a mini-golf course.
“We wanted a change,” Sue says, “but one that wouldn’t take us too far away from our families and work and Palm Lake Resort is a fit for us.

“Two lovely outdoor areas suit us for relaxation or when having the family over, and there are two bedrooms (and a study) so we have room for stay-overs. And we love our bedroom, which has a walk-in robe and an en suite.” Robert particularly appreciates the double garage and the level of security.

This is a place of amazement and if its block size isn’t enough to impress (about 5463 square metres), wait until you step inside. The house, which is about 21 years old, has two separate wings. In one wing is a big lounge room with a fireplace and a separate dining room. The main bedroom is also here and it has two built-in wardrobes and an en suite with a spa. The other wing is made up of the remaining three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, and a separate rumpus room. The family-meals zone in the centre has clearly been designed to host a crowd and the timber kitchen has a breakfast bar, a built-in pantry, dishwasher, wall oven and gas cooktop. From the meals area there’s access to a large undercover pergola, which overlooks the rear garden. The property includes ducted heating and cooling, a 35,000-litre water tank, a triple carport, a powered shed (which could potentially be used as a studio or a workshop) and a huge garage.
This newish, four-bedroom property has enough space for a lively family. With its roomy living spaces and open-plan design, every member of the household is sure to find their own little spot. The carpeted bedrooms are good sized, the main has an en suite. The separate lounge room can be made into a theatre room or a study and the open family-meals zone is the house’s hub. The kitchen has stone benchtops, island bench with a breakfast bar and stainless-steel appliances. The north-facing, under-cover outdoor area is a great spot to enjoy a summer barbecue and the backyard has plenty of potential. The house has ducted heating, evaporative ducted cooling, an alarm system and a double garage. It’s close to Sanctuary Lakes shopping centre and public transport.

This north-facing house is leased until August 2016, (the tenants are happy to stay) and with its modern design and contemporary colour scheme it should appeal to all savvy investors. It has 2.7-metre ceilings, downlights and porcelain tiles throughout all the wet areas. There are three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has an en suite. The family-meals area is a modern hub and the kitchen has loads of cupboard space, a dishwasher and stainless-steel appliances. There’s a courtyard off the hallway and the low-maintenance backyard has a garden shed and a water tank. The house also has a remote-controlled single garage with internal access, ducted heating and air-conditioning. It’s within walking distance of schools, Tarneit West shopping village, public transport and recreational areas.
Dubbed a diamond worth polishing, this house has good bones inside, with a layout that will suit growing families, or investors. It is close to schools, parks, shops and public transport, and has four bedrooms (the main bedroom has an en suite) and large living spaces – with plenty of room to spread out. The L-shaped lounge room flows into the family-meals zone. The spacious kitchen has a breakfast bar, dishwasher, wall oven, gas cooktop and plenty of storage. The gardens need work, but that’s the fun of transforming the great outdoors to suit. The block of about 595 square metres leaves scope for many ideas. The house has ducted heating and a split-system, there is a double garage attached.

The white-tiled main bathroom is along the entry hall, as is the laundry. Living areas include a carpeted lounge room that links with a large, tiled meals zone and adjoining kitchen. Charcoal benchtops and white cabinetry deck out the kitchen, which has a large amount of storage space, grey glass splashbacks, a dishwasher and an Italian-labelled
900-millimetre gas cooker with stainless-steel splashback. A vast entertainment room with large-format latte-toned tiles, white wall paint and charcoal blinds is an amazing space as another living area year-round. Couple this with a covered pergola as a barbecue area and entertainment/relaxation needs are well and truly covered. Now for what a tradie will love: dual driveway access, a remote-controlled garage with clearance height of three

Also among those hidden extras are ducted heating, three inverter split-systems (designed to cool the whole house), ceiling fans, tiled storage sheds and a 4.2kW (16-panel) solar system. Well-landscaped gardens complete the picture. Carole Levy 45 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 25, 2015

TECH TALK
New recorders pick up the late stuff A new generation of video recorders aims to ensure you never miss the end of a TV show. By Adam Turner, of The Age Australia’s free-to-air TV schedule has always been a rough guide, at best, because the commercial networks constantly make lastminute changes. They also deliberately run shows late, hoping you’ll keep watching because you’ve missed the beginning of shows starting on the other channels – a devious trick known as “bridging”. It’s not uncommon for the networks to run half an hour late in prime time, especially during live broadcasts. This obviously makes it difficult to record favourite shows if your video recorder relies on the advertised start times or the times listed in the on-screen Electronic Program Guide (EPG) that’s embedded in the broadcast signal. It’s no fun watching your favourite murder mystery only for it to end at the last ad break. Some video recorders deal with this by letting you add “post-padding” to your recordings – continuing to record for a few minutes after the scheduled finish time in hope of catching the end. But that chews through a lot more storage space, especially if your only option is to apply “global” padding to every recording even though only a handful of shows run late. Thankfully, there’s a hidden feature in Australia’s digital TV broadcasts that can come to your rescue. It’s an extra signal known as Content Reference IDentifier (CRID) data. It lets compatible video recorders know when a program is running late. The real-time CRID data ignores published guides; it even ignores the EPG embedded in the broadcast signal. Instead, the CRID data announces what’s actually screening rather than what’s supposed to be screening.
New-generation FreeviewPlus players record actual broadcasts rather than pre-set time brackets. (Supplied)
CRID data can save the day when you’re recording a show such as The Voice, which tends to run late. Your video recorder will keep recording until the CRID data says the show is actually finished. Think of the CRID data as a friend who lives on your couch and records all your favourite shows, watching to see what’s actually on TV right now rather than blindly trusting the TV guide and the clock on the wall. This data has been lurking in Australia’s digital TV signals for several years, but only a handful of recorders have taken advantage of it. Freeview launched a CRID-compatible EPG
back in 2010, but it only worked with a handful of devices. The new FreeviewPlus EPG shows more promise. It was launched 12 months ago, offering an on-screen guide for Smart TVs and set-top boxes, with the bonus of built-in access to Catch Up TV. In October, the $369 AerialBox T2200, was launched – the first video recorder that relies on the FreeviewPlus guide to schedule recordings. The AerialBox T2200 only lets you add 15 minutes of post-padding to recordings, which doesn’t seem enough. Thankfully, behind the scenes it monitors the CRID data so it keeps
recording even if your show runs more than 15 minutes late. You’re still at the mercy of the reliability of the CRID data – supplied by TV networks, which clearly don’t care about punctuality, but FreeviewPlus recorders are certainly a step in the right direction. In return, the AerialBox sacrifices a lot of advanced features compared to rivals – it doesn’t offer a movie rental store, subscription services or DLNA for streaming video around your home. Thankfully, more FreeviewPlus recorders are on the horizon.

91 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 25, 2015
SPORT Werribee grabs a mo-mentous victory The mo’s were not necessarily longer but the concept was undoubtedly stronger. The second annual Movember charity Twenty20 game between Werribee and Hoppers Crossing again proved a hit among local cricket fans at Hogans Road Reserve on Sunday and raised much-needed awareness and funds for men’s health. “It’s an annual event now and we had a big turn-out, so it was exciting,” Tigers captain-coach Mitch Johnstone told Star Weekly. “Both clubs worked really closely together on the event. It was a really positive day and a bit of fun.”
Werribee was victorious for the second time running, the Tigers chasing down the home side’s 8-160 with two wickets to spare. Those feted were not the ones who made the runs and took the wickets to contribute to the Tigers victory, rather it was those who donated the most money and cultivated the best moustaches. “The result wasn’t the idea,” Johnstone said. “It was good to play a game … where we got together for a good cause. Everyone had a bit of a go at bowling and batting, it was a good day.” The best mo at the Tigers was second XI captain Matthew Palmer, who sported a “handlebar arrangement”. “I’d say he rocked
the best mo today,” Johnstone said. “But there were a couple of shockers too” While it was a charity game, there were a few players getting the first word in ahead of the two sides much-anticipated meeting in the real Sub-District action on December 19. “I even copped a bit of a barrage in a charity game, so I can only imagine what it will be like when we’re playing for points,” Johnstone said with a chuckle. “It’s a really good rivalry but when it comes to things that are a bit more important than cricket, both clubs really stood out today.” Lance Jenkinson
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Golf isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but how can you not love a sport where a 56-year-old can win a major tournament? I spent the best part of last week broadcasting from the Australian Masters at Huntingdale Golf Club. I wasn’t on air when Peter Senior was presented with the gold jacket, but I was watching on television and loved it. Golf is one of those sports that can be enjoyed at any age and that’s part of its attraction. It was also great to catch up with former Werribee pro shop professionals David McKenzie and David Wren at Huntingdale. McKenzie was competing and Wren had visiting American amateur Bryson DeChambeau staying at his house. McKenzie finished equal 36th, while DeChambeau tied for second and was the leading amateur. Wren tells me DeChambeau will turn pro after the 2016 US Masters. ■ Michael Ford was a very good player for the Bulldogs in the mid-eighties and early nineties, playing 96 games before going to St Kilda, where he played another two. The fact he’s not a 100-game player is a great shame. He played in the 1992 Sandringham premiership team and coached Springvale to the 1995 VFL flag. Affectionately known as ‘Fruitcake,’ he was one of the most courageous players I’ve ever seen in the red, white and blue. Michael has just been appointed as Williamstown Football Club’s head of development and Development League coach for 2016.
Run test for Tigers bats By Lance Jenkinson Brighton batsman Ben Clements issued a show-me-what-you’ve-got edict to the much-vaunted Werribee top order at Brighton Beach Oval on Saturday. Clements laid down the challenge to the Tigers by delivering a mesmerising 151 from 202 balls in the home side’s imposing total of 9-283 in the sub-district game. Tigers captain-coach Mitch Johnstone is confident his side has enough batting firepower to succeed in the daunting run chase. “It is going to take some chasing obviously but with the way we’re batting, we think we’re every chance,” he said. “We know we’ve got players who are the same calibre of Clements – we’ve got three really good players and some good support acts. “It’s a ground that’s really hard to defend on and we’re just hoping those guys can get up and running next week.” After Brighton was in trouble on 4-25, Clements stepped up to produce an innings 92 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 25, 2015
to remember for the bottom-of-the-ladder side. He slammed on 17 fours and a six in a jaw-dropping knock that even his opposition could not help but applaud. “It was probably the best innings I’ve seen in subbies cricket,” Johnstone said. “It was a class above – we couldn’t really restrain him and he ended up getting away from us.” “His ability to manoeuvre the ball and get off strike and continue to keep the board ticking over was very impressive.” The day started well for Werribee with Brighton on the ropes early. New recruit Brad Robertson was on song with the removal of both openers on his way to 4-51 off 22 overs. But Robertson’s fortunes turned like those of his side as he succumbed to a hamstring strain. He was later cleared of any serious damage. “Brad’s control was exceptional and he was a constant threat,” Johnstone said. “It was a massive step in the right direction for him … not enough support at the other end for him, which was a bit disappointing.”
Once Clements got going, Werribee’s afternoon took a turn for the worse. Clements featured in big partnerships with Matthew Jones and Josh Waldron to have the Tigers chasing the ball all over. Clements was finally removed by Werribee spinner Tim O’Brien, who finished with an expensive 3-76 off 16 overs. Johnstone, the Tigers’ other spinner, took his lumps, too, with 0-79 off 19. “Our bowlers were good early and probably a little underwhelming as the day progressed,” Johnstone said. “We’ve got to take responsibility for that and look to bounce back.” It will not be easy for the Werribee batsmen on Saturday – they have to face Brighton’s star English import, Chris Rushworth. Rushworth has taken 278 wickets at 23 at first-class level for Durham in county cricket. “His record speaks for itself,” Johnstone said. “He dominated county cricket last year. It’s a good challenge for our group.”
■ The 12th Man, Billy Birmingham, is retiring this year by releasing a final CD highlighting the great Richie Benaud. I’m looking forward to catching up with him on my Saturday show on SEN in the coming weeks. Kevin Hillier

■ Werribee has played a significant part in the Red Cadeaux story, which came to a sad ending at the weekend. The punters’ favourite horse was put down after complications from the injury it received in the Melbourne Cup. The sickening scenes of the screens going around the horse at Flemington dissipated when he was taken to Werribee Veterinary Hospital and hopes were high for a full recovery and a retirement at Living Legends in Sunbury. That was shattered on Saturday when the horse had to be euthanised. Red Cadeaux, who was second in the Melbourne Cup three times, will be remembered as a champion.

Bees hang in as good start slips By Lance Jenkinson Werribee is punching above its weight in the top flight of Bowls Victoria’s mid-week pennant. The newly-promoted Bees were tipped to be relegation fodder in their first season at premier division level but are proving a much tougher nut to crack in the opening two months. “We’ve never been in the premier division before, so we thought that if we could avoid
relegation in the first year it would be pretty good,” Bees player Denise Thompson told Star Weekly. “We’re actually not travelling too badly.” Werribee began the season with three consecutive wins to be the surprise ladder leader after three rounds. The past month has seen the new kids on the block come back down to earth somewhat with Tuesday’s 26-shot loss to Glenroy their third in four games.
But losing to a star-studded Glenroy side is nothing to be embarrassed about. “They’re a very strong outfit with quite a lot of state or ex-state players,” Thompson said. “We weren’t disgraced but they had the jump on us most of the day.” The Lyn Milledge rink was the strongest performing for the Bees, going down by only two shots. Judy Brown went down by nine, while Trish Forder was beaten by 15.
It was a minor setback for Werribee, who are still sitting among the leading clubs in the competition with a 4-3 record. If their work ethic is anything to go by, the Bees will be in the finals race for the long haul. “I feel our girls have put more time into it this year than they did last year,” Thompson said. “They want to stay there in the top division. “We’re all sort of gelling and getting along really well and we’re all playing as a team.”
Hoppers in the cellar Hoppers Crossing tumbled to the bottom of the Bowls Victoria division 2 section 1 ladder after an 80 (14) - 72 (4) loss to FlemingtonKensington on the road on Saturday. The travelling Hoppers descended to the cellar after last-placed Rosamond managed an upset one-shot win over premiership contender Richmond Union. It leaves Hoppers with just one win after six matches and 21 points from safety. Hoppers will host third-last Maribyrnong Park in a must-win game at Pannam Drive on Saturday. In division 1, Werribee played a draw with Moonee Valley, both finishing on 79 shots. It was not a win, but the Bees would be content to halt their two-game losing skid. The Bees, fourth-last with just two wins in seven games, play host to third-placed Essendon at Chirnside Park on Saturday.

Seabrook bowlers make most of ‘dodgy deck’ Seabrook has taken full advantage of a lively pitch to rout Point Cook and take their place in the turf cricket west B1 top four. The Saints defended just 177 on their visit to Saltwater Reserve and did it easily, with the help of a few demons, to have the home side out for 92. Saints captain Leigh Edwards described the pitch as “a very dodgy deck”. “It was popping and seaming everywhere,” he said. “The bowlers just had to put the ball in the right areas to capitalise.” Seabrook rolled out its best seam bowlers, who dictated the terms on the second day. Chris Kavanagh had season-best figures of 4-29 off 18 overs, removing one of the openers in his first spell and returning to clean up the tail. He also took three catches.
Dhavel Patel produced his best effort for the season with 3-9 off 11.2 overs, while Hitesh Bavarva was his typical miserly self with 2-7 off eight. Mitch Haberecht took 1-20 off 14 – not the type of figures that jump off the page, but they drew praise from his skipper. “He only got one wicket in the first innings but he was the pick of the bowlers,” Edwards said. “The wickets were falling at the other end on the back of his pressure bowling.” Seabrook batted a second time and declared on 3-6 when it became apparent there would be little chance to accumulate bonus points. The Saints had nine overs to bowl at Point Cook before stumps and took four valuable wickets. “They came out at the start and tried to reverse outright us but we constantly kept
taking wickets,” Edwards said. “They were never a chance to get it with the way the wicket was playing. We nearly picked up a full point so it paid off in the end to send them back in.” Seabrook is back at home on Saturday to face Williamstown Imperials with newly renovated clubrooms at Bruce Comben Reserve in use for the first time. In west A1, Wyndham Vale had a shocker, narrowly avoiding an outright loss to Kingsville Baptists. Set a massive 258 for victory, the Falcons were bowled out for 121 in their first dig and were 8-115 in the second innings. Werribee Centrals (190 and 1-16) were taken down by Altona Roosters (231) in a tight tussle at Langshaw Reserve. Lance Jenkinson

Giant strides forward By Lance Jenkinson For a baseballer, there is nothing like a crucial hit at an important point in a close game to announce your arrival at a new club. Charles Thompson was frustrated after spending much of his first three months at the Werribee Giants sidelined with a groin injury, so when the opportunity to play a key role presented in a one-run win over Bonbeach earlier this month, he was not going to let it slip. “We had a runner on second base and we desperately needed that run to score,” Thompson told Star Weekly. “I just did whatever I could, put the ball in play and luckily we got the extra run in.” Thompson is a key for the Giants as they strive for glory in Baseball Victoria summer league division 2. “I’m not trying to be the show,” Thompson said. “You can’t win a game without the team … everybody here is so oriented about how we perform as a unit instead of individually. Thompson has the future of the club in his hands. The 30-year-old is coach of the 94 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ NOVEMBER 25, 2015
reserves and is a role model for the young players in the first team. The American wants to be a career coach and sees himself rising to higher levels but only after playing a major roles on and off the field with the Giants. “They’re really hungry to get to division 1 and I can definitely see it,” Thompson said. “I just wanted to be a part of that. I mainly wanted to go there to coach because that’s what I’m good at – it’s what I’ve been doing for the past eight years now. I’d like to coach at the highest level I can.” Thompson was a talented young sportsman growing up in Seattle. In high school, he was first team all-state in football, second team all-state in baseball and received an honourable mention in basketball. He settled on baseball as his chosen sport and bounced around colleges in California, Minnesota and Washington. It was Thompson’s dream to get to the big leagues but even seasons averaging well in excess of .300 in the batters box were not enough to for the major league scouts. One year, with Northland Community College in Minnesota, he hit .375.
Thompson had one last shot, transferring to Lassen Community College in California, where he hit .320 but there were no takers – so he turned to coaching. He has been an assistant coach for various teams in the US, including junior touring teams and high school and university sides. The Marshall resident has played at the Geelong Baycats and coached their under-18 team for the past two seasons. Having been involved with so many clubs, Thompson is ready to share his knowledge with the youngsters at Werribee. “I’m just trying to help them and point them in the right direction … make sure they play baseball the right way,” he said. “I feel that I have a lot of knowledge in the game of baseball, and experience.” Thompson will be used as a utility with the capability of playing all nine defensive positions. And he will be expected to come up with more big hits like his one against Bonbeach. The Giants improved to 9-2 on the season after Wes DeJong threw all 11 innings of a 5-3 win over Ballarat.
Bellbridge moved a game clear on top of the WDCA A turf ladder with a convincing win over Melton South at Mossfiel Reserve on Saturday. A five-wicket haul from Jake Styles was the catalyst to the victory for the Bridge, who just missed out on an outright result. “It was just good to try for an outright,” Bellbridge president Mark Croswell told Star Weekly. “In the end, they just didn’t have enough time to do it.” If Bellbridge is comfortable in first place, they are not showing it. The players are aware of the challenges which confront them in the final two rounds before the Christmas break when they cross paths with both last summer’s grand finalists. Runners-up Melton Centrals visit Mossfiel Reserve for a two-day game starting on Saturday before a two-dayer away to champions Grand United. “Those games will really tell us where we are, whether we compete with those top teams or whether we’ll be battling with the third to sixth teams trying to get the last two finals spots,” Croswell said. “If you don’t get up for these games, you probably shouldn’t play cricket.” The Bridge comprehensively outplayed Melton South, who were bowled out on day one for 132 with Styles the chief destroyer with 5-22 off 12 overs. “It’s consistency of line and length with him,” Croswell said. “He’s been playing cricket for the past 12 months, six months with us and six months in England, so it’s probably kept him in that little bit of form. “He’s an athletic bloke and he’s young and fit, so he hasn’t had the stresses on his body so far and that’s probably telling. “A couple of early wickets gave him confidence and once he gets his confidence up he’s one of the hardest bowlers to handle.” Bellbridge had a couple of hiccups along the way in its run chase, but managed to pass the target six down with Sam Hewitt (40) and Steven Nolan (32 not out) pointing the way. Melton South managed to avoid the outright, finishing with 7-79 at the close. In A grade matting, Truganina cruised to a 138-run win over Deer Park at Clearwood Drive Reserve, with Muhammad Usman Afzal scoring 99 to go with two wickets. And it was a one-man show for Williams Landing in a 30-run win over Melton South, with Anish Banga taking 5-11 and making 33 not out. Lance Jenkinson
MOTOR Jeep-Jeep but not cheap, cheap There’s probably no more recognisable shape in the automotive world than a Jeep, and the iconic American maker has given us yet another model, the Renegade, that cries out Jeep-Jeep when viewed from any angle outside or in. With a shape that’s chunky and cheeky, the Renegade is almost toylike in its style but is anything but toylike in its makeup. Each model in the range is aimed at the buyer who wants a fun city runabout and has no intention of ever leaving normal roads . . . except the Trailhawk that is, which is designed for the rough stuff. Trailhawk has a ground clearance of 211mm, and a 4WD Active Drive Selec-Terrain system with a 20:1 crawl ratio. It gives you a choice between five modes – auto, snow, sand, mud and rock. There are protective skid plates, and rear tow hook in the traditional red used by all Jeeps. There are more surprises in the new Renegade. It’s designed in the US and Italy, and built in Italy. Italian giant Fiat took custody of a financially challenged Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge organisation in 2014 and the American and Italian engineers and designers appear to be working well together. As an interesting sideline, the diminutive Fiat 500L, recently seen transporting Pope Francis in the US, is a slightly distant relation of the new Jeep Renegade. Although style is what will attract many to Jeep Renegade, it’s also a very practical family

station wagon. The tall shape makes for good interior space, with enough headroom to let you wear your Akubra and there’s good legroom for adults in the rear seats. It’s quite narrow, though, and the three in the back had better be either slim or children.
Luggage space is good but not outstanding. The rear seatbacks fold flat in three sections, allowing load-through in the centre. The front passenger seat folds flat to allow long surfboards, ladders and the like to be transported. Renegade has a great ‘My Sky’

open-air roof option; manually removable front and rear roof panels are lightweight and stow neatly in the rear cargo area. Powertrains depend on which Renegade model you select. Trailhawk is moved by a 2.4-litre engine that’s normally connected only to the front wheels, reverting to all-wheel-drive when wheel slip occurs. This system is a sophisticated one that saves fuel when possible. Renegade Sport, Longitude and Limited models come with a 103 kW / 230 Nm 1.4-litre MultiAir2 turbo-petrol engine mated to a six-speed DDCT (Dual Dry Clutch Transmission) automatic. A lower-cost option, the $29,500 Renegade Sport, is available with an 81 kW / 152 Nm 1.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and has a five-speed manual gearbox. The windscreen if far closer to vertical than other vehicles these days and you sit a long way back from it. At first you may get the feeling you’re peering through a TV screen. Comfort is better than average for the class, and noise and vibration are generally well subdued, again for this type of vehicle. Dirt roads don’t faze it, which hardly comes as a surprise, and tyre roar is intrusive only if you’re on a section of relatively new coarse-chip. With prices starting at $29,500 and climbing to $41,500 for the Trailhawk the Jeep Renegade isn’t cheap. But the “… bought a Jeep” advertising campaign has shown many people really like everything the marque stands for. It will be interesting to see if they accept the pricing.
