Baby boom under way Werribee Mercy Hospital is in the midst of a baby boom. A record 3711 babies, including 26 sets of twins, were born at the hospital during the 2015-16 financial year. That’s up from 3144 bubs in 2014-15 and 2739 births in 2013-14. The birth rate is rising in tandem with Mercy Health’s three-year commitment to increase the hospital’s birthing capacity by 20 per cent a year. Mercy Health chief executive of health services Linda Mellors said the hospital was on course to welcome about 74 babies on average per week in 2016-17. Dr Mellors said the maternity ward had been expanded to cater for the rising demand. The hospital has brought on board new consultant obstetricians, obstetric registrars, midwives and support staff to support the growth. “We have also opened additional birth suites and postnatal beds, and upgraded equipment.” Charlene Macaulay

March for more police By Adem Saban Protesters marching along the Princes Highway in Werribee on Saturday had a clear message for the state government: We need more frontline police in Wyndham. Low numbers didn’t dampen the spirits of the organisers, who expected 1200 people to attend, saying the crowd of 50 still had an important message. Co-organiser of the event Safwat Ali said the group was made up of concerned Wyndham residents whose main objective was to campaign for a higher police presence following a spate of aggravated burglaries. “We’re trying to show the police and authorities the numbers,” Mr Ali said. “We’re
trying to work with the police and state government because, at the end of the day, we know we can get help from them only.” Police Association figures reveal that Wyndham has 45 police for every 100,000 residents, compared with a state average of 102. The association says Wyndham will need another 159 officers in the next five years to reach and maintain the current Victorian ratio. Mr Ali said the group was also campaigning for the tightening of bail laws and more community engagement programs for youth offenders. He spoke after four youths aged from 14 to 17 were charged over an aggravated burglary in Williams Landing last week. “If they’re committing crime at this age,
infocus T U R N T O
what will happen when they become adults?” he said. “We aren’t trying to push them [out]; we want them to come back to the community.” The group plans a hard-copy petition, which it will present to local state MPs. Earlier on Saturday morning, the newly formed Tarneit Neighbourhood Watch group hosted its first community safety meeting in response to a spate of home invasions across the region. Former police officer Ron Fenton, Maori Wardens chairman James Smith and members of Neighbourhood Watch groups were among the speakers as a crowd of about 200 posed questions about how to handle a home invasion. Mr Fenton acknowledged community frustration but urged attendees to comply with

MPs row over Wyndham policing By Adem Saban Victoria’s Police Minister and her opposition counterpart traded insults over policing in Wyndham last week after a spate of home invasions fuelled residents’ fears. The Coalition’s shadow police spokesman Ed O’Donohue and Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn met last week with Point Cook residents to hear their concerns. Mr O’Donohue said later he believed the state government’s weakening of bail laws for underage offenders, coupled with a lack of police on the ground, was “emboldening young
offenders”. He said he was open to exploring the idea of a new police station at Point Cook. But Mr O’Donohue would not say what the Coalition would do differently if elected next year, saying he would prefer that the problem was solved before then. Referring to comments by Police Minister Lisa Neville in Star Weekly rejecting the view that rising crime in Wyndham was linked to fewer frontline police officers, Mr O’Donohue said the minister was “absolutely out of touch” and “ignoring the community’s desperate plea for support.” Ms Neville hit back last week, saying: “The
shadow minister is in no position to talk about resources, given not a single extra police officer was funded during his time in government.” In their meeting with Mr O’Donohue and Mr Finn, residents pointed to a recent rise in home burglaries happening when people were home, saying they now lived in fear. One resident said she now slept with a knife under her mattress to protect her family, while another said the lack of police in the region meant offenders felt they could get away with crime. Residents are campaigning for a new police station at Point Cook and an increase in
frontline officers at Wyndham. The Police Association of Victoria says an extra 159 frontline officers are needed in Wyndham by 2019 to bring police numbers up to levels elsewhere in the state. Ms Neville said the recent state budget included funding for 300 new frontline police, adding that these officers would be deployed by the chief commissioner to areas of most need. Star Weekly asked the minister if she would be willing to visit Wyndham and hear from residents. “The government is always open to speaking to communities about crime issues in their area,” Ms Neville said.
A 21-year-old Hoppers Crossing resident has been named Young Victorian of the Year. University student Khurram Jahangir Khan received the accolade earlier this month as part of the Victoria Day Council awards. Mr Khan is youth committee chairman at the Hoppers Crossing Rotary Club and also tutors newly arrived migrants in the SudaneseAustralian integrated learning program. He said he was shocked when he learned of his award. Auspiciously, Mr Khan got his ‘community and public service’ gong on the third anniversary of his arrival in Australia from Pakistan. “I was literally thinking, am I even worthy?” Mr Khan, in his third year of studying biomedicine at Melbourne University, was also Wyndham’s 2015 Young Achiever of the Year. “You learn the true subjects of life – the chemistry of a community and the physics of society – when you’re volunteering,” he said. “Volunteering is a key part of life and it should be taken as a responsibility. “Volunteering has a huge relationship with leadership. “Young people should treasure volunteerism. It should be considered a huge part of a sensible human being’s life. “Young people can achieve wonders. If you motivate young people, it will benefit the future.” Marie Brittan, Wyndham council’s youth portfolio-holder, said Mr Khan was an excellent example of the value of young people in Wyndham giving back to the community. “We are extremely proud of his latest achievement, and we’re sure it won’t be the last,” Cr Brittan said.

Warm comfort for homeless As temperatures drop in winter, some members of the Wyndham community don’t have the luxury of a heater to keep them warm. The team at Werribee Support and Housing is helping by collecting blankets for people sleeping rough across Wyndham. As part of Homelessness Week in August, social worker Jackie Ceratti and her colleagues will be running a blanket drive, encouraging people to donate a blanket to make winter a little warmer for the homeless. “Just over the past six weeks, we’ve had six homeless people staying on our site or in our carpark in swags or vans,” she said. “The demand on services has increased.” Ms Ceratti said homelessness in Wyndham wasn’t just a problem for young people. “We have people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, even couples, sleeping rough,” she said. The August 7 blanket drive is from 11am to 2pm at Werribee Support and Housing, 19 Duncans Road, and will feature a jumping castle, sausage sizzle, animal nursery, and more. Entry is free … just bring a blanket.

Farmers’ top-dollar water woes By Adem Saban Werribee South farmers are paying more than four times more for water than those in Gippsland. Southern Rural Water supply manager Edward Smith said the Werribee and Bacchus Marsh irrigation system was the most expensive in Victoria. He said farmers in Central Gippsland’s Macalister irrigation district, also covered by Southern Rural Water, were paying about $80 a megalitre, while Werribee South farmers were
paying an average of $360. The water used by farmers in Werribee South is a combination of recycled water from the Western Treatment Plant, groundwater, and water from three reservoirs. “The main reason [for the price difference] is [Macalister] has one relatively big storage and we have three relatively small ones,� Mr Smith said. He said the Macalister district had more customers, meaning the cost could be spread more widely than in Werribee South. Work undertaken by Southern Rural Water

on reservoirs to keep them up to national standards also drove the higher prices, he said. Discussing the upgrade now under way of an 80-year-old concrete channel system to a piped system, Mr Smith said the project would increase water efficiency delivery to market gardens.
Responding to suggestions by market gardeners that the upgrade was pointless when farmers were receiving only 15 per cent of their water allocation because of low storage levels and the priority should be securing water, Mr Smith said they would still be better off than they were now once the upgrade was completed. “We’re now delivering water at about 55 per cent efficiency. The current system is unreinforced concrete ‌ it leaks. We lose half the water we’re putting into the system. “If we pipeline, it’s about reliability of the water entitlements.â€?
Good old days dug up “It was interesting to see the canteen list that I’d typed on a typewriter many years ago ‌ I was pleased to see I couldn’t find any mistakes,â€? she said. “The price of a pie back then was just 68 cents.â€? Reflecting on 41 years at the Hoppers Crossing school, Ms Murphy said the growth in student numbers and changes in technology were the biggest changes she’d witnessed. Now she’s preparing for a trip to Honolulu later this year. Then she plans to relax and spend more time with her family.

It was a blast from the past for Mossfiel Primary School when students dug up a time capsule from 1985. Former pupils concealed school work, uniforms, books and even a canteen list in the capsule, which was last week opened by their successors, 31 years on. One of those on hand for the opening was school business manager Barbara Murphy, who clearly remembers the day the capsule was buried. Ms Murphy, who retired on Friday after 41 years at the school, was nostalgic upon seeing the capsule. “I remember the day students buried the time capsule in the school grounds in 1985,� she said. “We received the capsule from the government at the time and students were working hard, doing things to put in it.� Looking over the goods stored in the capsule, the canteen price list stood out for Ms Murphy.

Mosque is ‘open to all’ It’s still under construction but the Australian Islamic Centre in Newport will be available to the public for this month’s Open House Melbourne Weekend. Designed by world-renowned Sydney architect Glenn Murcutt in collaboration with local architect Hakan Elevli, the prayer centre has attracted world acclaim and is destined for heritage listing. It will have about 1200 square metres of prayer areas for both males and females, a library, classrooms, recreational and function centres, an Imam’s residence, two guest houses and other spaces. It’s the subject of two upcoming documentaries and an exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. Part of the reason for international interest is the involvement of Mr Murcutt, the only Australian to have won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the ‘Nobel Prize” for architecture. Mr Elevli said the building, which had drawn on the best elements from mosques around the world, was unlike any other. “The most significant thing it is being a very Islamic spiritual space that makes it very inclusive of non-Muslims as well,” he said. “The idea was to create an architecturallydesigned building with Islamic features … but also make it contemporary.” Jordan-born Imam Abdullah Al Hawari said the minaret, a thick 16-metre wall as opposed to a traditional round tower, had also been designed for contemporary Australia. “In our country we use the minaret to put a speaker on to call the people to prayer,” he said. “In Australia, it’s not allowed to put the speaker outside so we did it a different way.

Kevin Hillier explains why online retail is a hit in Point Cook

W
hen I read last weekend that Point Cook is Melbourne’s top suburb for online shopping, I was not in the least surprised. Let’s face it – the poor residents of Point Cook can’t get out of their suburb to go shopping anywhere. It’s a suburban traffic nightmare. Interesting to note Hoppers Crossing came in second. Why is online shopping so popular in the west? Is it price, convenience, service (or lack of it), a reflection of modern times – or, as I suspect, a combination of all of these? I have always been a shopper who knows what I want and goes and gets it. I have never been a browser or window shopper. I do a bit of shopping online but not for the majority of my purchases. I do my shopping homework online – to see what’s out there and who has the best prices. I suppose that is the modern equivalent of window shopping. There are some items I would never buy online. Food would be at the top of my list, along with most clothing items. A trap with online shopping is judging size. I recently bought some coffee cups and when

they arrived they were much smaller than I expected. We have certainly overcome the security fears that used to surround internet transactions. The internet has certainly changed the way we shop and it has also changed the role of the in-store sales person. I am still a believer that there is no substitute for good service and no excuse for bad service. We walked out of a restaurant recently because the staff ignored us once we were seated.

‘What do we need?’ survey asks By Adem Saban A proud Wyndham resident has launched a community survey to find out the area’s most pressing needs. Iris D’Souza, a research and strategy consultant who lives in Point Cook, says Wyndham is a great place to live, but the area needs infrastructure, resources and services. “It’s a great community with many individuals doing amazing work to get our many needs heard,” she said. “What would help further is clear direction around what
the community believes is important. It’s then a question of sharing our burning needs with key decision-makers, government agencies and the media. “It’s an amazing place to live … we have a great community. “If anything, we should be better off in 10 years. To do this, though, we need to collectively shape our future.” Ms D’Souza, who runs Germane Insights, a research and strategy consultancy focusing on helping businesses and communities grow, said the survey was a way of giving back to the local community.
‘‘
We need many voices to make the research viable
’’
- Iris D’Souza
“Through the voice of the community, we can get clarity around our priorities and use that information as our starting point to develop action plans. “It will be sad to see the lack of resources negatively impact our suburb and escalate our problems further,” Ms D’Souza said. “If
we can work together collectively, we have a greater chance of achieving what matters most to us. “We need many voices to make this research viable and direct the right intervention strategies. “Once responses have been collated, our research findings will be used to assist council [and] state and federal governments.” To undertake the survey, visit: survey. germaneinsights.com.au/?s=MYSUBURB For further information about the survey project, email info@germaneinsights.com.au
Kittyhawk makeover A World War II classic will soon make the Point Cook RAAF Museum home. The museum has acquired the last existing P-40E Kittyhawk aircraft, which is being painstakingly restored before going on display. RAAF Museum director David Gardner said the fuselage, which had been sent to Wangaratta for restoration, was expected to be returned by Christmas. The aircraft served with the RAAF’s No.75 Squadron in its 44-day defence of Port Moresby in 1942. The Kittyhawk was damaged by enemy aircraft and had to be sent back to Australia for repairs. It served out the remainder of the war with the No.2 Operational Training Unit at Mildura. The mainplanes, or wings of the aircraft, have already been restored.
Mr Gardner said the museum would display the Kittyhawk once the restoration was complete, but it wasn’t planning to fly the aircraft because of its distinguished history. Details: www.airforce.gov.au/raafmuseum/ Charlene Macaulay

Sergeant Rossi said Wyndham had the highest number of thefts from motor vehicles in the Westgate division, which also includes Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay, over the past three months. As part of Operation Core, the newly formed Williams Landing Neighbourhood Watch will target areas of Wyndham affected by a recent spike in aggravated burglaries. Volunteers from the community groups will help distribute 12,000 crime prevention brochures.
Volunteers will also distribute the brochures around Hobsons Bay next month and in Maribyrnong during September and October. “[We have] identified a number of community groups keen to assist Victoria Police in crime prevention while promoting vigilance in the community and awareness of crime prevention methods,” Sergeant Rossi said. “Historically, Neighbourhood Watch, Apex, Rotary, the Lions Club and Community Against Crime have been informed of Victoria Police initiatives and statistics without being further engaged for proactive operations in areas of most need.”

Wyndham drug crime soaring By Charlene Macaulay The number of cannabis, ecstasy and methamphetamine offences has risen sharply in Wyndham. A Crime Statistics Agency research paper into drug use and possession offences showed that the number of methamphetamine offences in Wyndham jumped from six offences in the 12 months to March 31, 2012, to 141 offences in the year to March 31, 2016. The number of ecstasy offences doubled from 15 to 30 in the past year alone, while cannabis
offences jumped from 129 to 174 in the past 12 months. The figures are consistent with the rest of the state, according to the agency. In Victoria, cannabis accounted for almost 40 per cent of all drug use and possession offences recorded in the year to March, 2016, and there were significant increases in the rates of ecstasy, methamphetamine, prescription and other drug offences in the past five years. Wyndham police’s Acting Inspector Peter Tatter said people dependent on drugs could resort to further crimes such as theft and

assaults. “In the vast majority of cases, police proactively detect drug offences rather than relying on offences being reported to us,” he said. “Our approach to addressing this issue centres on disruption to reduce the supply of drugs, target repeat offenders and reduce re-offending through diversion.
“Drug use is a whole-of-community issue and the solution is outside the scope of law enforcement intervention alone. “There needs to be a consolidated effort across government and the community to tackle the demand for drugs.” Acting Inspector Tatter said drug use posed safety risks for police. “Drug use teamed with a lack of sleep and co-occurring health issues may lead to unpredictable and sometimes violent and dangerous behaviour,” he said of the threats faced by police.
Just what mums need create a bond and gives children a healthy start to life.” Maternal health nurse Sue Newman said breastfeeding could be stressful for some mothers and the centre could help. “For some families, the breastfeeding drop-in is just a friendly and comfortable environment to assist them,” she said. The theme of this year’s World Breastfeeding Week is exploring the link between breastfeeding and sustainable development. Reducing poverty and hunger and tackling gender inequality are among topics that will be in the spotlight. The centre is at the Sister Rita Douglas Centre in Werribee and open Monday to Friday from 1.30-4pm. Details: wyndhamchildandfamilydirectory. com.au/youthdirectory/service/index/id/3 Adem Saban

The first week of August will be a big deal for the Wyndham Breastfeeding Drop-In Centre. It will mark three years since the centre opened its doors, and it also happens to be World Breastfeeding Week. The drop-in centre, developed by Wyndham council, provides support for families with breastfeeding babies. More than 2100 local families have used the service since it opened. Council youth portfolio-holder Marie Brittan says the centre, staffed by maternal health specialists, has been successful in providing reassurance and support to breastfeeding families. “Since it opened in 2013, this centre has gone from strength to strength,” she said. “It’s now open five days a week and more than 2100 families have benefited from its services. “Breastfeeding has so many positive benefits for mothers and their babies.

There’s been a changing of the guard at Heathdale Christian College. Outgoing principal Reynald Tibben handed over the reins to Ross Grace last week after 17 years at the helm. Mr Tibben had been a land surveyor in Western Australia before becoming a teacher. He worked in schools around WA and Tasmania before taking over the principal’s role at Heathdale 17 years ago. When Mr Tibben started, Heathdale had 700 students. Today, there are about 1300 on the books. “There was nothing as you drove down the highway … we were right on the edge of town,” he remembers. “We’ve just about changed every single building, except for the transportables, and plans have been approved [by Wyndham council] to change those as well. “Really, we’ve done a whole makeover here. It’s a great place to work, always has been.” Mr Tibben said he would take six months off then figure out what he does next. New principal Ross Grace started his career as a primary school teacher and quickly found himself drawn to leadership positions. He has spent the past 20 years at Donvale Primary School, the past seven as principal. “As I met with the board and they articulated the vision they had for this college, I thought, I want to be part of that,” Mr Grace said. “I’m coming into a strong, vibrant community … one of Reynald’s legacies is the building of this community and the strength of this community.” New Heathdale college principal Ross Grace with outgoing principal Reynald Tibben.

Big buzz over Werribee biz hub By Adem Saban More than 50 Wyndham small business owners are hoping to set up shop in a redundant Werribee research facility. Members of BizBuddyHub, a Wyndham-based co-working network, are hoping to transform the Dairy Innovation Australia Limited research facility in Werribee into Victoria’s first outer-metropolitan co-working hub. DIAL announced last month that it was winding down its technical consulting operations and selling the 6000-square-metre Princes Highway property.
BizBuddyHub founder Sara Mitchell said the complex was perfect for the group as it had commercial kitchens, offices and meeting spaces that could accommodate a diverse range of local businesses. “We can see this site being an innovating mixed-use enterprise centre for our growing micro-business community that will enable us to demonstrate the benefits of our collaborative co-working model,” Ms Mitchell said. “Our BuzBuddyHub has a rapidly growing membership base for over 50 local businesses. Now all we need is a physical home.” Members include businesses involved in communications, marketing, accounting
and hospitality – and even a luthier (string instrument building and repair). DIAL chief executive Lesley MacLeod said the $4 million facility would work well as a home for BizBuddyHub. “We would like to see the facilities we’ve developed here put to good use supporting business in and around Wyndham,” she said. “The idea of using this facility as Victoria’s first BizBuddyHub … is absolutely perfect.” The group members began co-working from the site as of Monday and hope the new owners will allow them to remain. DIAL will remain BizBuddyHub’s landlord in the meantime.

Hats off to tasty talents Masterchef … eat your heart out. Tarneit’s Gerard Ivander went hat-to-hat with some of Melbourne’s best up and coming cooks to win bronze in the Victorian finals of the Golden Chef’s Hat award. The 20-year-old teamed up with university mate Andrew Christianto for the two-day competition, serving up a main course of chateaubriand with red wine and port sauce, potato puree and blanched carrots. For dessert, there was coffee pannacotta, almond praline, chocolate ganache, poached rhubarb and vanilla mousse, topped with shards of meringue. Mr Ivander, who works at the Spaghetti Tree restaurant in Melbourne, said the former William Angliss Institute pair had chosen a classic menu for their competition entry. “This was our first competition; we just
picked what we thought would work well,” he said. “When the judges say 30 more minutes, it goes so quickly. It was so fast-paced; time moved really fast, it was quite a pressure-filled situation.” Mr Ivander said he and Mr Christianto entered to prove their culinary talents and gain inspiration from other chefs. Australian Culinary Federation director Deb Foreman said the competition was a great way for young chefs to take their skills to the next level. “Putting yourself up to be judged on your culinary talent among your peers is tough.” The national finals of the Golden Chef’s Hat award will be held in Melbourne in September.

New language no trouble to P-9s By Charlene Macaulay Meet some of the state’s best young Indonesian speakers. These eight Point Cook P-9 College students (right) are all smiles after stellar performances at the recent state-level Indonesian speech contest held at Melbourne University. Amilia Collins, Jason Lim and Isabelle McGrath each came first in their respective age groups; Wendy Widjojo, Riva Dubey and Ella Pettigrove placed second; and Karmun Chan and Ella Wallace placed third. Of the 32 Point Cook P-9 College students
who competed at the regional finals earlier this year, 17 qualified for the state titles. Amelia said the students practised most days, including at playtimes every Wednesday and Friday, to prepare for the state competition. Isabelle said students in her age category had to answer up to seven questions from a list of 15. “We knew the range of questions but not which ones we would be asked,” she said. Ella said that as well as the question and answer section, she had to make a speech about her family and have an unrehearsed discussion during which judges could ask questions.
“The whole experience was quite exhilarating,” Karmun added. Jason said he found it easier to speak and respond in Indonesian in the finals when there wasn’t an audience – just the judges. The students received their awards at a ceremony last Friday. Indonesian teacher Gede Marsaja said Indonesian was a compulsory subject for prep to year 8 students. The subject then became an elective once students reached year 9. “This is a big reward for us as teachers,” Mr Marsaja said.

Poke me, man … they’re back The launch of the Pokemon Go app sent reporter Adem Saban back to childhood in his quest for master status … Growing up in the ’90s, Pokemon took up a lot of my time. When I wasn’t collecting the trading cards, I was watching the television series. I also spent a lot of time with my head buried in my Gameboy as I searched for the best Pokemon in the two-dimensional, pixelated video game. You can imagine how excited I was when the Pokemon Go app was launched on smart-phones earlier this month. Finally, I could be a real-life Pokemon master. I was even more excited when my editor gave me the green light to go on a Pokemon hunt across Wyndham to ‘research’ the latest craze. I downloaded the app and got a Squirtle as my first Pokemon … would’ve preferred a Charmander, but such is life. My Pokemon journey began on Watton Street in Werribee. Walking to grab my morning coffee, I came across a Doduo. The two-headed bird Pokemon confronted me just outside my office. I threw a Pokeball and caught it on the first go. Success! I was on my way to being a Pokemon master. As I wandered around Werribee’s CBD, I also came across a Nidoran (caught it). Just outside the Wyndham cultural centre I was confronted by a nasty looking Pinsir. He stood in the gutter staring up at me as though he was ready to attack. I threw a Pokeball at him, and managed to catch him too. Later on in the morning, I was walking to my car parked on Synnot Street to head out to my first interview for the day. My phone began vibrating in my pocket. I took it out, expecting it to be a call, but there in front of me was a Raticate. The ugly, ratty Pokemon kept dodging my Pokeballs, but I got him in the end.
Left to right: Raticate was hanging around Synnot Street; Eevee was roaming around the gardens of Werribee Mansion; A Pidgeotto appeared in the market gardens of Werribee South. (Pictures: Adem Saban)
I dropped in on Wyndham Harbour. It was freezing, but I was ready to brave the cold breeze to catch some water Pokemon. What a letdown. I was hoping for a big Gyarados … but I didn’t even come across a Magikarp … zilch! On my way back, I stopped by Werribee Mansion. This historic landmark was bound to have something worth my while. Walking around the gardens, I came across an Ekans, a Venonat and a bunch of Pidgeys. Closer to the mansion, a wild Eevee appeared, and a couple
of Spearows. Making progress on my mission to be a Pokemon master, I caught them all. I decided to pay a visit to the market gardens at Werribee South. I was sure that, somewhere among the crops, would be a Bulbasaur. My advice is to avoid this area completely. The best you’ll find is a Rattata, Pidgeotto or a Weedle. Hoppers Crossing Sporting Club had little worth catching. The club doubles as a Pokemon Gym, which is great, but in terms of wild Pokemon, a Zubat is your best bet. Let’s be
honest, you can find a Zubat anywhere. The Plaza was a great spot … in my short time there, I came across a Magmar, Growlithe, Meowth, Machop, Staryu, and Ghastly. The best spot yet! A stroll down Point Cook’s Boardwalk Boulevard wasn’t too bad either. I managed to catch a Drowzee, Diglett, Clefairy and an Oddish. At this point I thought it was probably best to head back and do some work. Until next time, fellow Pokemon hunters.

MY WYNDHAM Joan Broadstock remembers when cows roamed next to her Hoppers Crossing home. The 76-year-old Werribee resident, Victoria State Rose Garden Supporters president, tells Charlene Macaulay about Wyndham of old and her love of gardening. What’s your connection to the Wyndham area? I’ve lived here for 51 years. My husband was in the air force … deployed to Laverton. We loved it so much we decided to buy a property at Hoppers Crossing. We were the 16th house completed at Hoppers Crossing. There were cows in the fields everywhere around us. We became very close with our neighbours. What’s it been like to see the area grow? Absolutely amazing. Our house got a little bit small for us and our children were starting to go to school in Geelong, so we moved into Werribee and it was wonderful. We had five children when we moved to Werribee and eventually ended up with six children. And now I have 11 grandchildren. We loved the Werribee life from the start.
I was in Ballarat working at the telephone exchange, and Len was at the [air force] base there. We knew one another for about five years. I met him when I was 17 and we married when I was 22. He died seven years ago. You and Len were among the original members of the Victoria State Rose Garden Supporters – tell me more. There was a front-page story on the Banner asking for help to save the Rose Garden … people from the National Rose Society taught us how to work and it’s built from there. It
(Damjan Janevski)
How did you meet your husband, Len?
became a great friendship group. We get so much satisfaction out of what we do and learn. We’re down to about six of those original members now … we have about 110 members at the moment. I was the secretary for nine years, and I’ve been president for two years. This place has given me something to live for.
Have you always been a keen gardener?
What’s your favourite type of rose?
Always. I looked at different volunteer jobs, … when I saw this, I thought, ‘That’s me’. My [home] garden is on a double block and it’s a big part of my life. I do it all myself. People like to stop and talk when they see me in the garden.
It’s probably heritage roses. Where do you like to go for a coffee or a meal? I go to the Wyndham Cache quite a lot.

Mr B. Fabretto estate agent and candidate for Central Riding in the coming council elections urges local residents to stand up and fight for their rights against the action of the Board of Works in announcing intention to curtail development west of Werribee River. The Board’s moves were first reported in a story in The Age on July 7.
The heralded $6 million Forsyth Road overpass is in financial jeopardy, and another four major road projects in Werribee could grind to an abrupt halt. That was the message this week from Shire President Pat Goodwin, and Shire Engineer John Nicol. Both fear that spending cutbacks in Canberra could end with the Federal axe savaging road projects which will be vital to Werribee’s transport systems and economy.
A huge golf club resort and housing development will be built on the former Cheetham Saltworks site in Point Cook. The Sanctuary Lakes resort, valued at $800 million, is said to be the biggest residential development in Melbourne. It is expected to provide hundreds of jobs for Wyndham residents and inject millions of dollars into the economy.
What started out as a holiday to attend a wedding has become a nightmare for the relatives of a Werribee family as they find themselves stranded in the war zone of Lebanon. As Israel began its offensive against its northern neighbour last Thursday, many Lebanese Australians watched the news in horror – including Bassam Tofaili and his family.

Carrie’s project Sarah Harris talks to a tv star on a mission beanie – just like the one Greg used to wear to hide the scars of multiple surgeries – and appealed to colleagues to do the same the next day. Instantly, Carrie’s #beanies4braincancer was trending on Twitter. Between the glittering Paolo Sebastian gown and the incongruous headgear – the frock and the hard place – the three-time Logie winner had opened a window on her soul and the public, already adoring, loved her a little more. But it so nearly didn’t happen. Two days before the Logies, a friend voiced what all the punters were saying. “He said, ‘You know you are favourite to win, have you got a speech ready?’,” the 35-year-old recalls. “It was only after I got off the phone I thought, ‘Oh, maybe I will have to say something’. “So I sat there for an hour and I am, like, what am I going to talk about that is going to actually resonate with people? The brain cancer journey of Greg and I has shaped so much of my life. This [the Logie nomination] was about celebrating my work life, but my working life sat side by side a really challenging personal life. “My life isn’t all hair and make-up and red carpets. There have been some very challenging moments and I wanted to let people know at home they are not alone in whatever their challenge is. “The only reason I thought of the beanie was because I often think of Greg wearing one. So I called this factory about an hour and a half out of Melbourne and drove there and bought 100 beanies. I thought, if I don’t need them I will just
give them to the homeless.” Carrie told no one of her plan except her immediate family and one friend from work. “I just kept it to myself really and, to be honest, I didn’t know if I would have the strength to do it. Even as they made the announcement all I could think was, ‘Do I take the beanie or not, do I take the beanie or not?’. But I am so glad I did because what has happened since has just completely blown my mind.”

he golden girl of Australian television Carrie Bickmore is feeling a wee bit the goose. Weeks before the official launch of her range of fashion beanies to raise money for the cause closest to her heart, the much-loved TV presenter’s charitable foundation has all-but sold out of merchandise. “It has been a quick lesson in business,” the host of Network Ten’s The Project admits with a wry laugh. “Because I thought no one would buy one, I significantly under-ordered. I have just had to put in a new order and try and back-date product. I’m like, OK, this is quite the experience.” To be fair, becoming a beanie broker was not something the mother of two envisaged when she made her poignant and powerful speech accepting the 2015 Gold Logie for most popular personality on Australian television. Carrie captivated her peers attending the glittering industry event, and the watching nation when she used her acceptance speech to raise awareness of brain cancer. Her voice catching with emotion, she explained how the insidious disease not only stole her husband Greg Lange, but kills more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer and more children than any other disease. And she described how her family was irrevocably changed by brain cancer when Greg died two days after Christmas 2010 at age 34. “Over 10 years I watched him suffer multiple seizures a day, lose feeling down one side of his body, have his little three-year-old push him in his wheelchair because he couldn’t walk any more. He was an incredibly brave man … but he shouldn’t have had to go through that,” she said. She concluded the speech by donning a blue
arrie was 19 and studying at Perth’s Curtin University when she met Greg. Enrolling in journalism was one of those sliding-door moments, after she turned down a scholarship to study dance at the urging of a careers adviser. “At the time, the careers adviser saying ‘you will never make a career out of dance’ was probably an irresponsible thing to say because, one, she hadn’t seen me dance and, two, I don’t think you should ever tell somebody – even though their dream is big – that it is not possible. “At the same time I am always glad she did tell me because the path my life has led has been incredibly rewarding,” says Carrie, who enjoyed the more glamorous side of the action hosting So You Think You Can Dance Australia (series four in 2010). Born in Adelaide, Carrie moved to Perth at five with her mother Jennie following her parents’ divorce. Jennie, who would go on to

She never complained about it, just had her head down and bum up and did it.” In 2005 Carrie and Greg married and in 2007 they welcomed their son Oliver, by which time the “laughing person’s newsreader” had already become a popular television presence on Rove Live, while still working at Nova with Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek.

become a highly regarded educator, remarried, raising Carrie along with her two elder stepsisters, Claud and Ash. Carrie describes herself as “a bit of a dag” as a teen. “I was pretty conscientious. I did my homework and had it in on time and had assignments finished days before they needed to be. I know a lot of people assume I was incredibly outgoing at school, but I was a very different person to who I am now. I was very easily intimidated. I was intimidated by other girls who I am sure now were not terrifying, but in my mind were terrifying.” With the same diligence she exhibited during her years at the Anglican all-girls school Perth College, Carrie applied herself to uni and, well before graduating in 2000, she had a gig at Perth radio station 92.9FM. In 2001 Carrie and Greg moved to Melbourne where she joined Nova 100.3. Part of the motivation to move east was to be closer to her father Brian – a founding executive of Austereo and its longest-serving director until his retirement in 2004. The young couple’s future looked bright, but within months Greg was diagnosed with a brain tumour – its shadow lengthening as it recurred after treatment. “Greg would often say, ‘I just feel like there is no one that understands’. There wasn’t a brain cancer community that we, at least, could find or were tapped into. “We didn’t know any other people who were in their 20s who were going through this stuff. People in their 20s are supposed to be partying, travelling the world and we just didn’t do any of that. We never knew what each six-month scan was going to bring. It was a completely different
and an incredibly isolating experience, which bought us very close together but made life challenging in different ways. I was forced to grow up very quickly.” Through it all Carrie worked, just as she had seen her mother (Dr Jennie Bickmore-Brand) work. “I grew up with my mum, who was contributing so much and working so hard and that was what I saw as the norm. Every night she would make dinner and clean up and I would see her in the study for two hours trying to complete her doctorate. I think it took her eight or nine years while raising three girls to

“I was working full-time, he [Greg] was going for treatment and we had our little boy and never knew quite what was around the corner,” she says. “We had a mortgage and it is not cheap to be sick. I often think I worked so incredibly hard, and whether that has helped me get where I am from a career perspective. But I wasn’t doing it from that motivation. Just working in this industry I was happy enough. And it was a great outlet as well. “There were times when Greg would say to me, ‘I don’t want you to just sit by my bedside and watch me be sick’. He wanted me to have things to come home from work and tell him about, experiences and stuff.” Greg lived to see his wife win her first Logie in 2010 for most popular new female talent for The 7pm Project – as The Project was originally known. In the hard years that followed, their son Oliver brought joy to her life. After Greg’s

death came a new relationship with The Project producer Chris Walker and in February 2015 Carrie gave birth to their daughter Evie. “I often read headlines about my new life and how I have moved forward and it amuses me, because anyone who has suffered grief will tell you it is not like that,” she says. “Grief is a really tricky thing; it is a very fluid thing and I don’t think there is ever any end point to it. But I’m OK with that. I can’t imagine it any other way. My past will always be with me, it shaped who I am today and I wouldn’t want a world where Greg wasn’t part of it. I look at my son and I see Greg. He is very much like him in different ways. “At the same time I am also very aware that I don’t want Ollie’s life to be heavy. I want it to still have the lightness of childhood. He was obviously dealt an extremely tough card very early on and I look at him now and I am so incredibly proud of who he is.” Now, on top of the demands of a high-profile job, the needs of her family and the pressure, as ambassador for beauty brand Garnier, to look good even when she steps out on a school run, there’s the business of the beanies. Even before her latest order of beanies (available at the end of July) Carrie had reached almost $800,000 of her $1 million fundraising target through her BrainBeats concert and public donations. She has presented the first $250,000 grant to the Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation towards developing a blood test for brain cancer. But in this particular battle there is still a very long way to go. » carriesbeanies4braincancer.com » tenplay.com.au/channel-ten/the-project

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir road-tests a whole new barbecue experience … Phi Phi 2 is a new sister eatery to the local favourite across the road. Phi Phi 2, with its lighter, tighter lunch menu, serves a limited range of curries and salads. But the night-time action is overwhelmingly about cooked-at-table BBQ and hot pots. Given the hot pot variation is freely available at a couple of nearby joints and more broadly across the west, almost all customers go the BBQ route. We do, too, with abandon and, ultimately, great joy. Phi Phi 2 is done out in dark wood, with most of the seating in booths that line the long room. There’s a trio of tall, small tables at the front windows overlooking Alfrieda Street and a couple of bigger tables at the back. Our host, Jentsy, tells us the BBQ food here has its roots very deeply in South Korea, but much of the seasoning/sauces/marinades and the ritual come more directly from Vietnam where this kind of cooking is very popular. We start with two dishes from the entree list. Crispy tiger prawns ($12.90) are cocooned in crunchy noodles that shatter upon being chomped. The prawns, dipped in the accompanying sauce, are excellent. BBQ lamb ribs ($10.90) seem a big serve, but there are just four, resting on a fluffy bed of greens. They’re fine: fatty, as expected, but with great flavour. Then we’re onto sides ’n’ stuff – a green salad, bowls of kimchi and pickled bean sprouts, and the like.
JOIN US FOR A
PHI PHI 2 Address: 31a Alfrieda Street, St Albans Phone: 9077 2466 It may not be saying a helluva lot, but this is the best kimchi we’ve ever had. As well, we are each given three dipping sauces for the BBQ goodies – soy/miso, a mild chilli with lemongrass, and a tamarind. Here’s what we order: Pork belly salt-chilli marinade ($12.90), ox tongue ($9.90) and chicken thigh Thai marinade ($11.90). We also get a vegetable and mushroom combo ($14). The glowing coals are brought to our table and then it’s on! The vegetables take a good deal longer than the meats, but it’s all fantastic. The meats are charred nicely, every mouthful succulent. Bottom line – this is some kind of nirvana for meat eaters. Bennie rates the pork belly the highest; I love the ox tongue the most. The vegetables are all terrific, too – three different kinds of mushroom, okra, pumpkin, eggplant, corn. The one lapse – and the only quibble – are the chat spud halves. They’ve been partially boiled before hitting the grill, but are still a little under-cooked and even (perhaps) out of place. It’s a lovely thing to see some flash on Alfrieda Street!

Learning for life at Thomas Carr College C
atholic co-educational 7-12 Thomas Carr College continues to rise in prestige since it was established with just 72 students in 1997. It now has around 1200 students who are reaping the benefits of a school with a focus on excellence in all areas. Principal Andrew Watson says his school is a friendly community where each person is valued and spirituality is nurtured. The College’s young men and women are encouraged to strive for excellence according to individual gifts in the spirit of Archbishop Thomas Carr, the second Roman Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne. “They’re challenged to pursue justice in the world,” Dr Watson says. The College’s iD9 program includes a valuable “country experience for Year 9 students at the Good Samaritan campus at Coragulac, about 11 kilometres from Colac. Dr Watson says the experience takes place in a safe, caring, structured, challenging and engaging environment. “Our students live away from home for three weeks, during which they have an outstanding opportunity for personal growth, development of independence, resilience, social awareness, and growth of skills for life and the world of work,” he says. “Sharing the campus with other students provides a rich and varied environment. It facilitates a better understanding of what it means to become an adult, to be a responsible member of the community and to take steps towards finding their own place in the world.”

In 2012, the College embarked on a 10-year master building plan that has already seen the development of a new middle school that now has 20 classrooms and extensive flexible learning spaces, as well as a state-of-the-art trade training centre. “Right now, we’re watching a 500-seat Performing Arts Centre being constructed,”
Dr Watson says. “This will include first class teaching and learning spaces. And our gymnasium will also double in size. “Projects in the pipeline include a student services hub, VCE centre, Year 9 building refurbishment and an updated and extended food technology centre.” The College’s innovative educational community, latest technology and an

Real estate sold with a real passion T
hey’re taking the housing market by storm and helping clients sell, buy and lease property with the proficiency of super humans … Reliance Real Estate is leading the pack in the business of selling homes. The agency is a finalist in the 2016 Wyndham Business Awards for the third year running, and adding to the excitement, managing director Sunil Kumar is also a finalist this year for the Business Person of the Year award. He believes it’s the company’s focus on service that has led to its success. “We pride ourselves on our excellent service when assisting clients to buy or sell, guiding them through the whole process from appraisal to settlement,” says Sunil. Reliance, which already had offices in Werribee and Point Cook, recently opened a branch in Tarneit. “Our significant growth is a testament to our professionalism and dedication,” Sunil says. “Reliance has found the winning formula with our 29 staff members across the three offices.” The agency has a ‘no sale, no charge’ guarantee and all marketing plans are tailored.

New baby doctors deliver the goods S
t John of God Geelong Hospital has expanded its maternity services and outreach with the arrival earlier this year of two new obstetricians, Dr Sajeewa Rathnayke and Dr Karl Najjar. Between them they have more than 25 years’ experience and have delivered thousands of babies. Together, they are offering obstetrics services to mothers and mothers-to-be in Werribee, which is within a 25-minute drive of their clinics in Geelong. Originally from Sri Lanka, Sajeewa (he likes to be known as “Saj”) delivered babies at Geelong Hospital for two years before joining the maternity ward at Geelong’s leading private hospital, St John of God. Karl, originally from Iraq, moved his family to Geelong from Melbourne, where he had been working at the Monash Medical Centre. He’s a master of minimally invasive keyhole surgery and is particularly highly regarded for his advanced gynaecological laparoscopic skills. Between them, Saj and Karl offer a holistic approach to women’s health, both obstetrics and gynaecology. Their focus is to treat women at any stage of life: from falling pregnant right through to later life, when their expertise helps women with gynaecological issues.

Advance d the lates ultrasound, t genetic screenin g non-inva and sive procedu res
Saj and Karl offer new diagnostic techniques, such as advanced ultrasound, the latest genetic screening and non-invasive procedures, and the introduction of keyhole surgery to improve patient outcomes. Working in a private hospital such as St John of God allows them to spend more time with each patient, providing continuity of care and giving mothers-to-be the confidence that their own doctor will be there to deliver the baby. “This is the best profession in the world and getting up in the middle of the night to deliver a baby is part of the deal – it’s a pleasure,” Saj says. “I’m looking after two lives and I’m there when someone comes into the world. In fact, I’m the first person they see when they arrive.” St John of God Geelong Hospital, 80 Myers Street, Geelong. Inquiries: 5226 8888 or visit www.sjog.org.au/hospitals/geelong.aspx

College celebrates St Mary of the Cross M
acKillop College Werribee upholds a vision grounded in Gospel values and the tradition of St Mary of the Cross. College Principal Rory Kennedy confidently claims: “Here at MacKillop, we strive to encourage individuals to reach their full potential as life-long learners by providing an innovative, challenging and collaborative learning and teaching environment in a rapidly evolving society.” “Earlier this year the College community commemorated the Eucharistic celebration and blessing of the Chapel of Saint Mary of the Cross. The Chapel has been a labour of love for the College community and it’s quickly become the heart and soul of the school.” “The Chapel enables us to nurture our education in faith. It has many significant features, including stained-glass windows designed by Josephite Sister Therese Quinn. They symbolise the school’s connection to the local area, as well as people significant to the development of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop’s spirituality.” Two bronze statues by Chris Sage feature prominently at the Chapel. The Triumphant Jesus hangs over the altar and is a focal point for all liturgy. In the forecourt, a bronze statue of Mary MacKillop engaging with two playful children welcomes everyone. The Chapel precinct also includes an outdoor Stations of the Cross, which incorporates contemporary photography in an attempt to engage students in the message of Christ’s passion. In front of the Chapel, a prayer labyrinth has been designed to allow students and staff to reflect on the message of Jesus’ crucifixion and to reinterpret it for
themselves. Other outstanding offerings at the College include a unique Science Wing, a 400-seat Auditorium, a Sports Centre with gymnasium, a Creative Arts Centre and a dedicated Trade Training Centre. The College offers a comprehensive curriculum, including a Gifted and Talented program and support to students who experience learning difficulties and provide successful policies that support student wellbeing. VCE, VCAL and VET subjects are also offered, as well as the SEDA Sport Development Partnership Program. The College introduced the Trade Training Development Program Certificate II in Engineering Studies Mechanical and Fabrication Streams as another pathway for senior students. From Years 7 – 10 a strong core and elective program establishes good learning and study practices. MacKillop promotes excellence in the programs offered which include the unique and dedicated Year 9 Campus providing experiences that have been designed to foster close links with the local community and to raise awareness of local, national and international citizenship and responsibility. The Individual Needs Program offers a contemporary Gifted and Talented curriculum and support to students who experience learning difficulties. The College continues as a vibrant, faith-filled learning community preparing students with the skills they need for citizenship. MacKillop College, Russell Street, Werribee.

Coffee and the Miller’s Tale E
arlier this month, the community of Williams Landing welcomed a new neighbour – The Jolly Miller Café. The café crew opened the doors in Williams Landing Shopping Centre, brewed up some coffees and got down to chewing the fat with the locals. But who’s behind the café? The tale of the Jolly Miller Café is a long one … it spans 10 years, three brothers and hundreds of thousands of coffees. A decade ago, the Barbar brothers, Edward, Simon and Rimon, were operating a bakery in Gisborne. From these small beginnings, the boys pushed forward, taking with them the belief that whatever you do, it has to be great. As their business and reputation grew, the Jolly Miller developed into something a little more sophisticated, a little more decadent, but they still kept in touch with the philosophies of a family-run business: good coffee, quality ingredients and service with a genuine smile. And while they’ve left the bakery life behind, some of their signature recipes live on, baked fresh each day and going strong. Their reputation precedes them. Since bringing their enterprise to Williams Landing, the Jolly Miller boys have had a warm welcome. Simon Barbar says it’s been a humbling experience. “Even on the first day, we met so many amazing people and felt incredibly welcomed,” he says. “It’s so important to us that we connect with our customers and get to know everyone because that’s what the Jolly Miller is about – we’re their local.”
The supershakes and (right) a salmon dish. (Pictures: supplied)
The café is a perfect execution of this ethos, with a specifically tailored menu and interior to reflect the needs of the local community. “After all, you shouldn’t feel anonymous in your local café,” Simon says. “We want our customers to know us as the owners, to know their barista’s name and for them to ask you about your kids. It’s why we do
this, to build community and take care of people.” The Jolly Miller Café, Shop T09, Williams Landing Shopping Centre, 100 Overton Road, Williams Landing. Open 6am-5pm Monday-Friday and 7am-5pm Saturday-Sunday. Inquiries: 8360 5206 or www.thejollymiller.com.au

30 years and, during that time, we saw how difficult children’s services can be to access. “We really wanted to help families get a position where a high quality of care is delivered by qualified and experienced, talented and passionate staff.” Louise says the centre also has a strong community focus, enhanced by the locals
on staff. “We believe in responding to community needs and feel more able to do this than bigger corporate-run places,” she says. “An example of this was how quickly we responded to a large family who’d lost all their belongings. In a matter of days, our families had donated toys and clothing for all four of their children.”
Regular daily digital interaction with parents and a mentoring scheme to upgrade skills for new team members are among other important focuses. Learn ’n’ Grow, 414 Derrimut Road, Tarneit. Open 6.30am-6.30pm weekdays. Inquiries: 9749 1142 or www.grownlearn.com.au

hen Stitch, the black and white bunny, ventures out from under a playground boat deck to say hello to any of the nearly 130 kids who regularly attend Grow ’n’ Learn, she has a way of bringing out joyful interaction. The much-loved three-year-old furry resident teaches kids how to be gentle and how to feed her with any tasty morsels left over from the centre’s chef-prepared meals. Grow ’n’ Learn childcare centre is the kind of place parents will feel at ease with, knowing their children are in a happy, safe and engaging environment. It’s not just Stitch who gets all the attention. There are five chickens scratching around for picnic leftovers and their coop has eggy treasures for the kids to find. And a vegie garden is both kid-magnet and outdoor classroom where sustainability, food sourcing and healthy eating choices are discussed while getting little hands right into the dirt. Owned and run by Louise and David Harries and their children Zac and Lauren, the centre of six years has specific spaces for the under-threes and another space for older kids. Centre director Louise says their service blends education and care, with a crew of 25 qualified people on board (including a professional chef). “Our programs support littlies, as well as three-year-olds, and we have a kindergarten overseen by a university-trained teacher (and meeting government guidelines) to prepare children for school the following year,” explains Louise. “I’ve been involved in pre-schools, childcare and support for kids with additional needs for more than

This one’s traditional Federation exterior comes from an award-winning specialist builder, Romeo Homes – and it shows in the high standard of replication. Inside, however, a subtle cream-latte colour palette strikes a soft-contemporary note as a counterpoint to dado rails, ornate plasterwork on high ceilings, corbelled arches and box bay windows. The house was designed with a young family in mind, borne out by elements such as extra-big bedrooms, grey-oaken floating floorboards and grey carpet in all the right places, and three open-plan living zones –

let alone its perch of about 1087 square metres allowing young legs and dogs to have a good run around. And the location? Family-oriented in spades – within a five-minute amble of Manor Lakes shopping centre’s cafes, supermarket and retailers; and four minutes by car to Manor Lakes P-12 College. The aforementioned living zones are a carpeted lounge room with cast-iron gas log fire; an L-shaped meals zone with floorboards; a carpeted sitting area; and a carpeted theatre room with a corbelled arch-framed seat in a box bay window.
The main bedroom at the front has the same window seat effect, along with twin, mirrored built-in wardrobes and a period-style en suite with dual vanity basins. Other bedrooms share a rear hallway with a laundry with three closets and bench, and the period-decorated main bathroom with green and cream colours reversing the the en suite’s burgundy and cream. The skylit kitchen has cream panelled cabinetry, subway splashback tiles, an island bench with dual-sided cupboards, a huge walk-in pantry, and a vintage-look

NEW HOMES AND LAND – The Heartlands
(Pictures: supplied)
Tarneit residential community The Heartlands has announced the release of stage 27 and will be launching a new display village. With more than 500 houses complete and five more stages under construction, this well-established community offers future residents the chance to secure and enjoy a family-friendly lifestyle with the benefit of various amenities nearby. Stage 27 has 26 blocks ranging from 221 to 392 square metres and prices starting from $175,000. Set on Heartlands Boulevard, the display village will feature 18 different houses, with Metricon and Burbank Homes the first builders to launch their residences. Other builders will include Sherridon Homes, Persaud Homes, Granvue Homes, Mega Homes, sulja homes and Simonds Homes. Heartlands sales director Mark Adams said there would be walking trails and bike tracks linking the wetlands to other lifestyle facilities. “Residents of The Heartlands can enjoy a range of facilities including a playground, picnic areas and on-site residents club, Club Heartlands, which has a tennis court, pool and gym,” he said. “Asset1, the Heartlands developer, is committed to supporting new residents by creating a true feeling of community through on-site activities such as a regular yoga and gym instructor and family fun afternoons – including free food, jumping castle and face painting.” For more information on The Heartlands and the recent release of stage 27, visit the new sales office at 60 Heartlands Boulevard, Tarneit.

“YOUR FOOTBALL CLUB”
Tigers lose the plot in VFL meltdown By Lance Jenkinson Scott Sherlock’s 100th VFL game was one he and his teammates would rather forget in a hurry. Werribee could not lift for its loyal servant. The Tigers were uncompetitive in an 111-point belting at the hands of Geelong Cats at Simonds Stadium on Saturday. Tigers coach John Lamont was disappointed with the performance of his side on what should have been a memorable occasion for Sherlock. “If you’re competitive in the game and get done narrowly, you’ve still got a bit of pride in your effort,” Lamont said. “We were annihilated and there’s no escaping that. It’s disappointing for a player who has been at our club for a milestone of 100 games that he’ll remember it for all the wrong reasons.” Werribee made a promising start and went to the quarter-time huddle feeling as though it was in the contest. The Tigers trailed by eight points at the first change, but had enjoyed the lion’s share of scoring shots. The message from the coaches was positive. What happened to the Tigers in the next two quarters was embarrassing. They conceded 16 of the next 17 goals to be staring at a 106-point deficit by three-quarter time. “Too often we make mistakes with the ball and create turnovers, which creates scoring opportunities for the opposition,” Lamont said. “Sure, their pressure had a part to play, without a doubt, but we just couldn’t hold our nerve. They scored too heavily and then we became a bit passive … blokes didn’t want the ball in their hands and we had a drop in confidence.”
Scott Sherlock goes on a run in his 100th game for Werribee Tigers. (Damjan Janevski)
Injuries have no doubt played a part in Werribee’s seven-game losing streak, but there was more than enough quality on the field on Saturday to be able to take the challenge up to the seventh-placed Cats. It was only the second time the Tigers have been blown away this season – the first time, after being thrashed by Williamstown they bounced back to beat Box Hill Hawks in round six. The Tigers haven’t won a game since that day.
Lamont is far from confident there will be a similarly positive reaction when they take on North Ballarat at Avalon Airport Oval on Saturday following the debacle against the Cats. “You’d have to ask the 23 players, what can you guarantee?” he said “I could come up with some statement to answer that question, but words are cheap, so we’ve got to wait and see. We’ll have a framework in terms of what we expect from the playing
group and we’ll coach them and try to help them be the best players they can – but then they’ve got to go out there and execute.” With six games to go and a tough run home, it seems finals are out of reach of Werribee. The Tigers were talked about as top-four contenders after a promising 3-0 start, but they have lost eight of their past nine to sit in 12th place, three games and percentage outside the top eight.
Going-Going- Nearly Gone Two home games in a row and a lot of social activity coming up at Avalon Airport Oval in the coming weeks. This Saturday we host North Ballarat, and as we have done since 2005 we will be playing for the Ron Hepburn Memorial Shield. Ron was a great servant of the Werribee Football Club, where he was on the committee and was Treasurer for 7 years till his passing. Ron was a well known sportsman in Ballarat in his younger days hence why this game was chosen to honour his memory. The family will present the shield to the winning captain after the game on Saturday. Guest speaker at the President’s Lunch this week is Mark Eustice, a former AFL player with an incredible life story to share, and next Sunday another Mark- Maclure will speak at the pre game brunch. The former Carlton captain and three time premiership player is now a high profile member of the football media, and will have plenty to say about the game-past and present. Booking for both functions are available on 1300 Go Werribee. The annual Auction Night is now being held at the club on Saturday September 10th. As well as the usual catalogue of goods, there will be some once in a lifetime items, as we say farewell to Chirnside Park before the redevelopment begins in October. This will be the club’s last major function before the demolition gets underway. For details and bookings contact the club on 1300 Go Werribee. For the latest news and events go to werribeefc.com.au and follow the Tigers on facebook, twitter and instagram. Go Tigers. 1235770-RC29-16 old_10038639-14
71 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 20, 2016
SPORT Tough run home a tune-up for finals Knott causing headaches for the winless Ariels’ defence from the opening whistle. Knott didn’t miss a shot all night, while Brice shot at 87 per cent, bagging 50 goals for the match. The Falcons had the game in hand all night, leading by seven, nine, 15 and 23 at the breaks, although Lind was just happy to bank the four points given the personnel missing. “We didn’t have any of our regular goalers fit so we had people covering for us,” she said. “We’ve had a couple of tough weeks with a number of players off at the New Zealand nationals, which isn’t ideal. “We needed that win to put us one step closer to a double chance, which is what we
were looking for. That win has put us in the best possible position moving towards finals. “Our whole attacking end was very good, as it has been all year … we look like being the only side to score 1000 goals in the season.” With just three games before finals, Falcons can lock up the double chance with just one more win. But they will have to earn it, with matches against fourth-placed Southern Saints and ladder leader Melbourne University in the next fortnight. “It’s a tough run, but it will be a good tune-up for the real stuff,” Lind said. Ewen McRae
Olympics on the radar By Lance Jenkinson There is no off-season for heptathlete Jamieson Battistella. The cold weather has set in and her next competition is not until October, but no green light has been given to slacken off. Battistella has a strict training load to adhere to, including prehab, running sessions, gym and technical tweaks. She often meets with her coach, Darren Clark, and spends time in physio maintaining peak fitness. Battistella is just 15, but knows what she wants, and that is to reach the pinnacle of her sport: the Olympic Games. In August, when she eventually arrives at her Derrimut home after two training sessions and a school day, she will do her homework and then switch on the television to watch the Olympics. Then her mind may wander four, or possibly eight, years down the track to what might be for her own career. Next morning it will be back to reality and Battistella will get back to work on the track, knowing the Olympic dream goes to those with not only the most talent, but the best work ethic. And that’s something she has in abundance. “That’s my ultimate goal, to get to an Olympic Games,” she said. “I really want to get there but I’ve still got a few more steps in between. “You keep long-term goals in mind but you’ve got to get the short-term ones and keep improving to get to the long-term ones. “At the moment, it’s the off-season, but I still have to be really motivated and dedicated to get up every single day and go to training. “It can get hard but it’s something I like about myself that I have the motivation to get up every single day and go for a run or go to training and do whatever I need to do.” Battistella can reflect proudly on her past track and field season. She performed strongly at local, national and international level in the heptathlon – a seven-event competition where points are accumulated in 100 metre hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 metres, long jump, javelin and 800 metres – and pentathlon, a five-event competition where points are compiled in 100 metre hurdles, long jump, shot put, high jump and 800 metres. Battistella finished fifth at the under-17 Australian Heptathlon Championships, won gold at the Little Athletics Victoria state titles, came fifth in the Little Athletics Australia pentathlon, fifth in the high jump and 12th in the triple jump at the Simplot Games in Idaho, USA. It was taking on athletes two years older at the nationals that saw the rising star turn heads. “I was extremely happy,” Battistella said of the result at the nationals. “I didn’t perform well in one of my best events but did really well in all of the other events. 72 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 20, 2016
IN THE DOGHOUSE I’m a fan of anyone trying to play sport at the highest level they can. We can’t all represent our country at the Olympics, get a baggy green cap or play AFL footy, but we can try to get the best out of ourselves, depending on our circumstances. Work and family can affect this at times, and that’s fair enough. In footy, that may mean not being able to play at VFL level because of the time commitment involved or the nature of your profession. After talking to Werribee 100-gamer Scott Sherlock last week, the reality of this hit home. Scott works in a physically demanding occupation (builder) five days a week. When you add that to the demands on his body from football, he’s doing well to compete week after week. Scott does gets paid to play for Werribee, but it’s a long, long way from the $300,000 average salary of an AFL-listed player even though he plays on AFL players every week. While they might spend Monday morning in recovery, Scott is on the tools making a living. Last week I wrote that future AFL stars need teammates at grassroots level to learn their craft, and when they get into the AFL system they need opponents at VFL level (like Scott Sherlock) or they’d be playing simulation games against witches’ hats. This is another level of football that’s vital to the game, yet it’s under-funded by the very game it helps build. Why?

football is great and, again, may be the best level some players can achieve. I’ve always advocated that local clubs embrace it and let players take part. This year, the WRFL rep side beat Ballarat in a thrilling encounter at Whitten Oval. It was a great game played in good spirit, good for the larger game, and a worthy showcase. Seven players from that side were chosen to play in the Vic Metro team two weekends ago. That game was played at Mernda on a Sunday and, as we’re only five weeks away from finals, it was a credit to the players that they made themselves available, especially as six of the seven play for teams with finals aspirations. The promotion and coverage of the game was poor; it barely rated a mention anywhere. Selection for Vic Metro is something to aspire to, but I’d be very surprised if players put up their hands for this game next year … and this has nothing to do with the season-ending injury to Josh Bench. One representative game a year is enough for park footballers. Kevin Hillier
Jamieson Battistella is the July nomination for the Don Deeble award. (Damian Visentini)
“Besides my high jump, I couldn’t have asked for too much of a better performance.” Battistella was proud to be captain of Brimbank Little Athletics Centre for the past two seasons and was honoured to be named athlete of the year at the Brimbank Sports Awards. And, just as importantly, she is keeping on top of her academic exploits. The driven teenager has earned multiple Dux awards at Maribyrnong College and shines with her time management to stay actively involved in the school’s leadership and debating teams.
After her taste of national and international competition, Battistella wants more in the next 12 months and has set her sights on winning a national title and competing abroad. Battistella is this month’s nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star Award, run by Sunshine Western Region Sports Club and Star Weekly. She will receive $1000 donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, and other prizes to assist in her future sporting goals. The award recognises young western suburbs athletes who have achieved outstanding results at state and/or national level.

City West Falcons did what they had to do. No more, no less. While a quick glance at the scoreboard for the Victorian Netball League win over Yarra Valley Grammar last week shows a comfortable 62-39 win, Falcons coach Marg Lind said it was much tougher than the score suggested. “It took us a while to get to a comfortable point,” Lind said. “A lot of teams now have nothing to lose as they’re playing out their seasons and are taking it pretty seriously. “We had a few injuries and players away so I thought we covered that quite well, and I’m just happy to get the win.” The Falcons led from start to finish, with the forward pairing of Kristina Brice and Kathleen

Tigers’ clawback may be a mission impossible Werribee has a mountain to climb if it wants to peak in this season’s Hockey Victoria women’s Vic League 2 finals. The Tigers are barely breathing, and face almost certain death if they fail to beat Old Xavarians on Saturday. And no side has managed to beat the top-of-the-ladder Xavs this season, at 12-0 with a 52-plus score difference. It is seemingly mission impossible for any opposition, but Tigers’ coach Les McAlinden still has faith. “Knock them off and we’re still in the hunt,” McAlinden said. “If they get over confident and a bit cocky, and we concentrate on the little things, you never know.”
This confidence might be misguided, but at least Werribee will not die wondering. The Tigers will need to significantly improve on their 2-0 loss to Melton at President’s Park on Saturday. It was an error-riddled performance from a Tigers side with everything to play for. “We’re doing some positive things, but it’s just turnovers that are killing us,” McAlinden said. “It’s the little mistakes here and there, and teams are capitalising.” Rachel Catania was superb on the last line for Werribee. It has been a tough year for the goalkeeper, but she keeps fronting up and causing troubles for opposition attacks. “She’s had an emotional year, but she’s been the backbone of the team all season,”
McAlinden said. “Her father passed away this year, and a week later her father-in-law died, so she’s had a bad year off the field, but on the field, she’s been blitzing it.” Emma Tivendale and Claudia Beamish worked tirelessly in the midfield, while Chloe Pickersgill and Lisa Ross found good positions up forward, only to be left wanting with the goal in sight. “We just couldn’t finish off the hard work,” McAlinden said. “Melton got two lucky breaks and scored two good goals, so you can’t take that away from them. “They just wanted it more than us. “They were a little bit hungrier than we were.” Lance Jenkinson
Up there, Kolang … By Lance Jenkinson Bol Kolang is a centrepiece of the Paul Chapman revolution at Werribee Districts. The 23-year-old has relished his chance to take command in the ruck, and his athleticism around the ground is a great asset for the Tigers premiership aspirations. Kolang knew early in the piece there would be opportunities to stamp his authority over the competition. “It feels pretty good to have cemented my spot and just be doing my part for the team,” Kolang said. “When I signed at the start of the year, that was something Paul Chapman really pushed. “He wanted me to have a big impact and said I had the potential to do that for the team. “For us to be successful, it was important for me to play well and make sure that I come to play every week, so I’m just trying to do that.” Kolang’s journey to the WRFL has been unique. Born in Sudan, his family moved to Egypt when he was just two. He has little recollection of his life until the age of five. “I remember we lived in a pretty tall tower in town,” Kolang said.“The only memory I really have is when I ran through the shower glass door. “I’ve got a big scar on my left wrist from that.” Kolang then moved to Australia with his family, who settled first in Sydney for five years. It was not until 2003 that he arrived in Melbourne. “It’s been a bit of a journey, but it’s been good,” Kolang said. “I think it’s really helped me to meet new people and just to be able to relate to everyone. “You appreciate certain things more coming from where I’m from.” Basketball was Kolang’s first sport of choice, but Tigers’ vice-president Rod Harrington kept telling him to give Australian Rules a go, and finally he went down to Soldiers Reserve, in time for his bottom-age, under-17 year. Kolang impressed, and quickly came on the radar of TAC Cup side Western Jets. He has come a long way in six years. He had a pre-season with Werribee’s VFL side in 2014, but could not commit because of university studies. The former MacKillop College student is studying business at Victoria University in Footscray. Last year, he spent a season on the Werribee list, but returned to Werribee Districts this season because of the squeeze put on to the bottom-end of Werribee’s squad after its AFL alignment with North Melbourne was beefed up. Kolang returns much richer in football knowledge for his year in the VFL system. “Yeah, I’ve come back a hundred per cent better,” he said. “You just look at the game differently, more the mental side of the game.” The WRFL these days is no walk in the park. There are stars all over the competition, particularly in the ruck. Kolang is no shrinking violet either. “It is a tough competition,” he said.
High-reaching Bol Kolang wins the hit-out for Werribee Districts. (Damjan Janevski)
“You’re coming up against some pretty good players, especially in my position, players like [Wayde] Skipper, [Angus] Milham and [Chris] Stewart. “So you’ve got to come to play every week. “I want to go up against the best and hopefully have some success against them,” he said. “That’s just my competitive nature.” Kolang is one of a number of Wyndham’s Sudanese community to have taken up football. Majak Daw, a close family friend, is another pioneer, making an impact at Werribee first, and then North Melbourne. Kolang believes Sudanese footballers will
have a big impact on AFL in the future, if they can be diverted from basketball. “They’re such good athletes, they’ve got so much choice for what sport they want to play. “As we get to the second and third generation of Sudanese in Australia, we’ll see more and more adapt to the Australian game. “Even in the Wyndham area, we’ve got so much talent coming through.” Kolang has not ruled out a return to the VFL, but is more than happy to be playing a key role for Werribee Districts, hopefully in the finals. “We definitely feel like we’re up there this season.”

Lions show why they lead the pack Deer Park is not willing to give an inch to Werribee Districts in WRFL division 1. The Lions have now won their past four encounters against the Tigers by an average 66 points. That number is inflated by last year’s 136-point mauling in the grand final, but Saturday’s 51-point margin at Soldiers Reserve shows a still-significant gulf between top-of-the-ladder Lions and third-placed Tigers. Deer Park got on top with a five-goal-to-two second quarter, to lead by 26 points at half-time. A seven-goal third term put the game out of reach of Werribee Districts. The home side had no answers to Lions’ full-forward Brendan Fevola, who booted six goals. The supporting cast was just as dangerous – Kwame McHarg and Jase Perkins snared three goals apiece. Lions’ forwards Perkins (47 goals), Fevola (44) and McHarg (25) have a combined 116 goals for the season. Andrew Panayi was Werribee Districts’ most dangerous forward, with three goals. Panayi has booted 42 goals in 13 games to sit third behind Perkins and Fevola in the competition goalkicking. Tigers’ co-captain Brent Morrow continued his good form, while Joey Halloran and Matt Dean fought hard. Werribee Districts remain in third place – a game and percentage clear of Altona. This gap could be trimmed as the Tigers have the bye this weekend. Hoppers Crossing cruised to a 183-point win over Wyndhamvale in a one-sided local derby at Hogans Road Reserve. Warriors’ Wayde Skipper kicked six goals in a best-afield performance, while Jordan Mead chimed in with five. The Warriors moved to top spot on percentage ahead of a trip to Sunshine Kangaroos on Saturday. In division 2, Manor Lakes could only manage one goal in a 158-point loss to title contenders’ Caroline Springs, leaving the Storm with plenty to do in the last month to avoid relegation In division 3, Wyndham Suns registered a massive 39 scoring shots in a 41-point win over Laverton Magpies at Laverton Park. Rhys Kirk kicked six for the Suns, which have closed the gap to within a game and percentage of the top four. Tarneit’s double chance hopes appear gone after a 15-point loss to Sunshine Heights at Ainsworth Reserve, while Sanctuary Lakes put up a valiant effort against Newport Power, going down by 17 points.

Out-of-form Reds put the focus back on fun Talk of promotion is on hold for Hoppers Crossing after Saturday’s disappointing 1-0 loss to Altona City in Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 2 at Grange Reserve. The Reds are in the midst of a form slump at the wrong time of the season, one that may scupper their bid for a third straight promotion. They have lost three of their past four matches and are seven points outside the top two with seven games to play. Reds coach Steve Iosifidis knows the road to another promotion is going to be tough. “The last month has been disappointing,” Iosifidis said. “Mathematically, there’s still a chance and we certainly don’t throw in the towel … we’ll just take it game by game and try to enjoy it, as opposed to thinking we must win and have to win. “My approach to the last seven games is to go out and enjoy it. Let’s take that pressure off.” Hoppers Crossing has enjoyed plenty of success against Altona City in recent times. Iosifidis had won all his three games against City as coach – but none were overly emphatic, with a one-goal margin able to settle it on each occasion. But the Reds’ luck finally came to an end.
City gave the Reds a dose of their own medicine, holding on to a 1-0 lead generated through a Matthew Gray strike in the 25th minute. Gray was gifted a chance by an errant defensive clearance and powered it past a helpless Reds goalkeeper Kieron Sharratt. “Apart from that, I would say they had more possession than we did, but there wasn’t really much in the game,” Iosifidis said. Hoppers Crossing needs to find some confidence. It comes up against bottom side Heidelberg Stars at Cartledge Reserve on Saturday. But Iosifidis has warned his side to tread with caution against a Stars team looking to stave off relegation. “These types of games are going to be just as hard,” he said. “Teams that are fighting for survival are not going to hand over three points on a silver platter. “You have to work twice as hard. It’s going to be tough, it’s not going to be an easy ride. “We need to bounce back and create a bit of confidence in the change room again.” Lance Jenkinson

Bears, Warriors trade fire By Lance Jenkinson Picking the superior side out of Casey Warriors, the title holders, and Werribee Bears, the challengers, at this stage of the NRL Victoria first-grade season would amount to little more than nitpicking. All roads are leading to these powerhouses featuring in a grand final re-match at the culmination of the 2016 season. They occupy first and second on the ladder after 12 rounds and have already served up two absorbing contests this season. The Bears won the first game, back in April, by four points in a dour, low-scoring game at Casey Fields. The Warriors returned fire with a four-point win in a more free-wheeling game at Haines Drive Reserve on Saturday. Bears player-coach Phil Pese said all the signs were that the two closely matched sides would star in the 2016 grand final. 74 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 20, 2016
“Every single player on the day came and played all the way to the end, the full 80 minutes,” he said after Saturday’s match. “Every game we’ve played against each other in the past two years has been hard … a lot of sore bodies. “To know that Casey is the biggest club in Victoria at the moment and we’re the second biggest makes for a good game.” The Bears thought they had victory in the bag when Mefiposeta Ioane crossed for his second try with two minutes to go. The Bears led 18-16 but some ill discipline in the dying seconds put Casey into try-scoring territory. The Warriors needed no second invitation, scoring the winning try with 30 second left. “I can’t point my finger where Casey were better than us,” Pese said. “At the end of the day, they won, they played good, but it was pretty much punch-for-punch all game. Casey capitalised when it counted the most.”
Forward Josh Makiri stood strong for Werribee against the Casey forward pack. Makiri played the game as if there was no tomorrow for his side. “He was tackling, he was running, he played as if it was a grand final,” Pese said. “He played aggressive both on attack and defence.” New recruit Andrew Holani showed what he can do in the halves. He has played at a high level with the Auckland Vulcans, so is a key addition to the Bears in the run to the finals. “He’s a really good pick up for our team, with his experience and his skills in directing the team around,” Pese said “His addition to the team kind of completes the puzzle. “We’ve been missing a true half … he brings that and plays lock as well.” Werribee faces another tough contest when it visits third-placed Northern Thunder on Saturday. The Thunder has been the surprise packet this season and could replace the Bears in second with a win.
Point Cook has gone on a goal-scoring spree in the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 4. The Jets were irrepressible in an 11-0 romp over lowly Maribyrnong Greens at Saltwater Reserve on Saturday. It is not only their merciless dumping of the Greens that rocketed them to fourth on the ladder. They have won five of their past six matches, with a forceful goal difference of 31-plus. The Craig Filer-coached Jets scored 37 goals and conceded just six over the past six games. And, all of a sudden, they are just three points outside the promotion places. Point Cook scored six first-half goals against the Greens and never let up, piling on a further five in the second half. Matthew Lawtey was in the zone, with a remarkable seven goals. Lawtey, who’d only scored six times in his previous 11 matches, broke off the leash and went on a rampage. Even David Gazzard’s three goals took a back seat to Lawtey’s magnificent seven. For the record, Shaun Rodden and Kyle Caruana were the Jets’ other goal-scorers. The Jets will be out to keep their winning run going when they visit Altona North on Saturday. Meanwhile, Truganina remains in the dreaded relegation picture after a 2-0 loss to Altona North at Duane Reserve last Saturday. The Hornets have a massive encounter with second-last Spring Hills at Arndell Park Reserve on Saturday, which could have a big impact on the survival prospects of both teams. In the NPL, Werribee City had an entertaining 2-2 draw with Ballarat Red Devils at Galvin Park. The Bees finished the game with 10 men after a second yellow card to Jonathan Voulagaris. Voulgaris was the Bees’ first goal-scorer in the first half, while Shaun Weaver scored the second late in the second half. The Bees will travel to face title contenders’ St Albans Saints at Churchill Reserve on Sunday. Lance Jenkinson

Anyone can be Ken Block in the new Ford Focus RS. All it takes is a push of a button and a heavy right foot. It is that simple. The American stuntman has become an automotive hero for a modern generation of performance car enthusiasts thanks to his YouTube series of Gymkhana videos – a collection of flicks filled with tyre-frying, death-defying, sideways-sliding action that has earned him millions of fans (and dollars) and even a place on the development team for the blue oval’s latest pocket rocket. The hot hatch segment has a new king in Ford’s potent dynamo. The Block influence is obvious as soon as you activate the five-door hot hatch’s unique drift mode, one of four drive settings that allows – and even encourages – the same kind of heroic driving antics for which he has become renowned. Surprisingly in this day and age where electronic driver aids largely dilute the level of engagement and involvement in modern performance cars, the Focus RS uses modern technology to amplify every element of the driving experience to the point where it re-sets the hot hatch benchmark. While technically on-sale in Australia from this month, with this year’s allocation of roughly 500 cars already sold, new customers will be hard pressed getting behind the wheel until early next year. But unlike its predecessor, which was restricted to just 310 units locally, this
Priced from $50,990 (plus on-road costs), the flagship Focus lines up against well-established rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf R and Renault Megane RS Trophy R, but it eclipses them in terms of performance and offers a more affordable alternative to premium European
generation Focus RS is a permanent addition to the range. It’s also more practical, coming in as a five-door (rather than three-door), more powerful and faster and, for the first time, has an all-wheel drive transmission – the key to unleashing its Drift mode party trick.
hot hatches such as the Mercedes-AMG A45 and Audi RS3. It straddles the two tiers thanks to its Mustang-sourced 2.3-litre turbo-charged four-cylinder that has been re-engineered to sit across the engine bay and elevates peak outputs to 257kW and 440Nm (rising to 470Nm in a temporary overboost mode) that is good enough to propel it from 0-100km/h in 4.7 seconds when using the launch control function. It’s a crackerjack of a motor that is as flexible as it is fast. The whole car comes alive the harder you drive it. The revised steering, which features a unique linear rack with just two turns lock-to-lock rather than the variable one in the mainstream Focus models, is accurate. While the driving experience raises the bar for fast, affordable fun, the rest of the package lacks the polish of its European rivals. The overall styling is more purposeful than pretty, from the big gaping holes in its front bumper to the chunky rally-style rear wing and lower diffuser. The cabin is mostly mainstream Focus with the exception of auxillary gauges on top of the dash and the lightweight racing seats that offer plenty of lateral support but could be perched lower. But that is really nitpicking. Any shortcomings are the furthest things from your consciousness when you think you look like Ken Block. Test drive the Focus RS at Werribee Ford, corner Heath and Morris roads Hoppers Crossing. www.westpointford.com.au
