En pointe for a dream come true

(Dennis Manktelow)

When it comes to ballet, Caitlyn Martin is definitely en pointe. The eight-year-old Point Cook dancer had a busy 2016, placing first in six different competitions over the course of last year. The most recent was the Follow Your Dreams competition at Ballarat, where she was the highest scorer of the under 8 category. Reflecting on the competition, Caitlyn said she’d been very nervous and did not think she’d win. “I was very shocked when my name was called out and super excited,” she said. The grade three Heathdale Christian College student, who dances at Point Cook Performing Arts, has been dancing since she was just two years old, and she has no plans to stop. “I would love to dance for the Australian Ballet, like Lana Jones,” she said.

Sheriff’s crew in cash nab By Charlene Macaulay Wheels were clamped and outstanding debts were paid at Werribee’s Eagle Stadium carpark last week in a Sheriff’s Office blitz that nabbed 76 fine evaders owing more than $450,000 in unpaid fines. The Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Victoria Police on Wednesday in the day-long operation, using automatic number plate recognition technology to identify drivers with outstanding warrants and unregistered vehicles. The road-block operation along Ballan Road detected 76 fine evaders with a combined 991 outstanding warrants and unpaid fines valued at over $458,000. The Sheriff’s Office recouped more than $37,000 of the outstanding debts from 40 drivers.

A further 20 drivers with 388 warrants worth nearly $250,000 were given seven days to arrange payment or risk having their driving licence or car registrations suspended. The operation was carried out the same week Sheriff’s Office statistics revealed that Wyndham had the fourth-highest value of outstanding warrants in Melbourne. In total, 26,595 Wyndham residents had a combined 205,568 outstanding warrants totalling more than $80.4 million for the 2015-16 financial year. Casey topped the list of fine evaders, with more than 31,000 people owing $137.1 million in outstanding fines. Hume ($107.3 million) and Frankston (85 million) rounded out the top three. Sheriff of Victoria Brendan Facey said last week’s operation was indicative of the

Pushbike patrols hit hip pockets By Charlene Macaulay Westgate Highway Patrol will roll out more pushbike patrols after a day on pedal power in Werribee’s CBD detected more than 50 offences. Two police officers spent last Wednesday riding up and down Watton Street, booking 18 drivers for using mobile phones while behind the wheel, 16 people for not wearing seatbelts, 10 bike riders for not wearing helmets, and seven others for other offences. The pair also attended two car accidents –

one a rear-end collision, the other occurred when a driver opened a car door that was hit by a passing car. Senior Constable Marcus Owen from Westgate Highway Patrol said he was disappointed to come across so many offences in one shift. He said pushbike patrols would start happening across the Westgate division – which encompasses Wyndham, Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay – a couple of times a week. “Victoria Police have been using pushbikes for a while, but it’s a relatively new addition for

It’s a fairly sad indictment on people’s attitude to driving that we can go out and, over the course of one day, detect so many offences. “(On) our pushbikes, we can get into areas that aren’t easily policed by car. “Not only that, people aren’t looking for us (on bikes) – they’ll spot a police car a mile away.

“We will be out and about on a more regular basis,” Senior Constable Owen said. “We would hope people pay more attention to what they’re doing when they’re behind the wheel of a car – put their seatbelts on before they drive away, put their phone in their handbag or in their pocket, and don’t touch it – so that we can happily sail on by and give them a wave instead of a ticket.” Senior Constable Owen said locals and traders had embraced the bike patrols, taking the opportunity to talk to police about local issues.

Campbell’s Cove was once a beach where clothing was optional … now it’s one where dogs can shed their constraints. A section of the Werribee South beach – from the eastern edge of the car park at the end of the boat sheds, to the boundary fence of the Point Cook RAAF base – has been deemed an off-lead area where dogs can play and swim. Council’s environment and sustainability portfolio holder Cr Heather Marcus said it was important dog owners followed the rules.

It’s time to have your say on the state government’s planned $1.8 billion upgrade of Wyndham roads. VicRoads has released an interactive map on its website that shows preliminary designs for the seven Wyndham roads – including sections of Dunnings, Palmers, Derrimut, Leakes, Dohertys, Forsyth and Duncans roads – ready for duplication and widening works. A spokesman for Werribee MP Tim Pallas said construction would start early next year, with the works to be staggered over four years until late 2021. The timing and order of construction is still being determined. Wyndham council acting chief executive Kate Roffey said the council had already met VicRoads to discuss the works, “with a focus on how to minimise disruptions to motorists”. “Because the package of upgrades is in the very early stages, the state government is yet to provide council with its likely program of delivery,” Ms Roffey said. “Our priority will remain for works that will reduce congestion on key arterial roads throughout Wyndham to be carried out first. An investment of $1.2 billion will be made to upgrade roads in Wyndham while $600 million will be spent on road maintenance throughout the west, she said. “At this stage, it is not known exactly how much of that investment in road maintenance will be spent in Wyndham.” Residents can ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ the plans and provide feedback until March 19.

Farmers fume over ‘rip-off’ rates By Adem Saban and Sumeyya Ilanbey The Victorian Farmers Federation has called for a more equitable rate-capping regime, claiming its own analysis reveals rural ratepayers are being ripped off. The state government introduced its “Fair Go� rates cap system last year, requiring councils to cap rate rises at the consumer price index. But the system currently allows councils to increase farm rates above the cap while maintaining the overall increase for all ratepayers at CPI levels.

Rate rises were capped at 2.5 per cent last year for Wyndham residents, but a farmers federation analysis has revealed rates increased, on average, by more than 17 per cent for Wyndham’s rural ratepayers. The increase was the highest in the state. Rural land in Wyndham also experienced the greatest valuation increase in the state at 27.90 per cent. Werribee South farmers have been vocal in their concerns about the viability of farming in the region, citing challenges including poor water quality and rising rates and other costs. Federation president David Jochinke said

‘‘

We’re beholden to local government to manage the area but also to be fair

’’

- David Jochinke farmers were frustrated their rates were increasing, yet they were not getting any additional services. “Rates, unlike any other cost, are fixed,� he said. “Farmers can’t manage it or find any other organisation – we’re beholden to local

government to manage the area but also to be fair among its rate-paying base.� If rates continued to rise, he said, there was not a bright future for the next generation entering agriculture. Municipal Association of Victoria interim president Coral Ross said a 2015 MAV analysis found rural properties in Victoria made up 21 per cent of total valuations and contributed 16 per cent of total rates. Acting Local Government Minister Lisa Neville said councils weren’t restricted from providing discounted rates to different groups of properties.

The eighties unplugged From the funky town of their youth to Werribee now, chart topping 80s band Pseudo Echo performs live at Station Place next month. Best known for their chart-buster Funky Town, which hit number one in 28 countries in 1985, the band will be on stage again at Werribee on February 10 for a one-off free show. Formed by a group of school friends in 1982, Pseudo Echo went on to release four studio albums before disbanding in 1990. The group got back together in 1998, releasing a further two studio albums. The band will be taking a brief break from its summer tour to perform at Station Place. Wyndham council’s arts portfolio holder Tony Hooper is excited for the performance. “Many people in Wyndham, including myself, grew up to the music of Pseudo Echo, so it’s really exciting that they will be performing

a free concert in Werribee as part of Friday LIVE,� Cr Hooper said. Friday LIVE is a three-week program of music being held during February. There will be a line-up of 17 bands and solo artists taking the stage over the course of the month. Performances are scheduled between 5pm and 10pm every Friday during February, starting February 10.

It’s a bloody good cause

Explosion fine for company

By Adem Saban

A Laverton North business has been fined $84,000 after a workplace explosion and fire in 2015 that resulted in an employee spending two weeks in The Alfred burns unit. Pacific Metal Group pleaded guilty to failing to provide a safe working environment and other charges in relation to the incident, which took place at the metal recycling business on February 11, 2015. Sunshine Magistrates Court heard that on the day of the incident, welder Lakina Taunsila, who had been in the role for two weeks, was performing maintenance and repair work in close proximity to unsealed and sealed 20-litre drums of highly flammable paint and thinners. Mr Taunsila’s welding sparked a fire and explosion in a nearby unsealed drum containing thinners, resulting in Mr Taunsila sustaining serious burns. He spent two weeks in The Alfred burns unit and had to undergo skin grafting surgery. He did not return to work at the Pacific Metal Group. Magistrate Bernard Fitzgerald ordered Pacific Metals to pay $84,000 in fines and nearly $4000 in court costs. WorkSafe health and safety executive director Marnie Williams said a WorkSafe investigation discovered that several classes of dangerous goods had been improperly stored at the Laverton North business, exposing employees to serious safety risks.

The Welsford twins and Graham Simmonds are calling on residents to donate blood. (Dennis Manktelow) 1143763-PB28-14

It doesn’t matter whether you’re old or young, you can still donate blood. That’s the message the Red Cross is trying to get out this month. Graham Simmonds has been visiting the Werribee donor centre on Bridge Street since 1978. Now aged 71, he still donates plasma fortnightly. “I gave blood four times a year for about 25 years, and now I donate plasma,” he said. “It’s gratifying and great to know I can help people who need it.” While Mr Simmonds doesn’t remember what it was exactly that got him donating 39 years ago, he thinks it might have been an advertising campaign. “I guess I just wanted to help people. I’m 71, but I’m still fit and healthy so there’s no reason why I can’t do it. I feel good when I go there; it’s definitely not an unpleasant time.” To others thinking of donating, Mr Simmonds advises that they give it a go. And age is definitely no barrier for the Welsford twins of Hoppers Crossing. Megan and Emily donated blood for the first time as soon they were of legal age (16), in August last year. Their mother, Shannon Ferguson, said the girls decided to give blood after seeing their mother donate for seven years. “They also wanted to know their blood type, and we didn’t think of going to the doctors and getting a blood test done,” she said with a laugh. “They’d been wanting to do it for their 16th birthday, and they did. They enjoyed the fact their blood was going to someone in need and loved it when they got a text message saying where their blood had gone.” Call the Werribee donor centre on 13 14 95.

Council plan to pile higher at Werribee tip

An artist impression of the NewCold warehouse. (Supplied)

Cool storage, hot deal By Adem Saban Ah McCain, you’ve done it again – this time Truganina gets the jobs. A 10-year agreement has been struck between storage and logistics giant NewCold and McCain Foods Australia to store the frozen food company’s products at a new Truganina warehouse. McCain Foods supply chain director Taso Kourou said the deal would significantly

improve distribution, making it possible for the company to better meet demand from domestic and international customers. “The storage and handling of McCain’s frozen products in the new automated facility will give us a more stable temperature regime and highly accurate stock control,” he said. A new warehouse will use unmanned stacker cranes, conveyors and automated truck unloading systems to handle more than 11,000 pallets of food products a day.

The NewCold warehouse is currently under construction, and is due to open for business by July this year. The $100 million dollar Truganina build will also house the NewCold Asia-Pacific headquarters, with more than 120 full-time position, once the building at the corner of Robinsons and Middle roads opens. NewCold, a Dutch-based cold storage and logistics company, operates in the UK, Germany, Poland and France.

Four new landfill dumps are on the cards for Werribee tip. The Environment Protection Authority is currently assessing a Wyndham council works application to extend operations within the existing boundaries of the Werribee refuse disposal facility to build four new cells that can reach 22 metres in height. The council also wants to increase the height of four existing cells – which can currently be filled to a maximum height of 8-10 metres – to 22 metres. Every week, about 10,000 tonnes of rubbish is dumped at Werribee tip. Only 10 per cent of the waste comes from the city, though. Seventy per cent of rubbish dumped comes from council kerbside collections. The tip services the western side of Melbourne, including Geelong, and some council areas on the other side of the city, including Monash and Whitehorse. The council’s latest plan follows a Star Weekly report that revealed new estates in Wyndham would be less than two kilometres from the Ravenhall landfill if the state government approves an expansion of that site. Residents can make submissions about the Werribee tip application until February 7 at www.research.net/r/EPAwyndham-landfill-application Charlene Macaulay

Kevin Hillier calls for real feeling, not text talk of retribution

Y

ou would have to have ice running through your veins not to have been touched and appalled by the senseless deaths that took place in the city last Friday. Lives were lost and others changed forever by the actions of one man, and that is the very definition of tragic. The images were confronting and heart-breaking, and the fact it was happening in our city made it even worse. The reaction on social media was instant and predictable, but I found it disturbing. I can understand the need to express grief and anger about such circumstances, that is perfectly natural, but the lynch mob mentality of many of the postings was over the top. I am sure that venting your feelings in the manner some people did is a very unhealthy thing. I am sure it would be more beneficial to talk to someone face-to-face about your feelings, because let’s face it, you can’t hug a keyboard. I know sometimes people will write an angry response to something but not post or send it immediately. It is very easy from the safety of a keyboard to question the actions

of the police, to make judgements, and be the judge and jury. Truth is, nothing on an internet post will change what happened. While it may give the author instant gratification, the pain and suffering of the victims and their loved ones lingers. An investigation will take place and the findings will be released, there will be a trial. The trial and the investigation will be very hard for those directly involved and for their families and friends, and also for the people of Melbourne. I hope it does not become another excuse to let fly from the sanctuary of the keyboard for those who feel the need. All our energies would be best directed in a positive way, rather than seeking revenge or retribution, an exercise that is painful and pointless.

I

received some interesting feedback on last week’s column about the return to school and the need to make it more ‘life’ friendly. A few felt I was demeaning academia, others thought it was relevant. Balance here is the key, in my opinion. ■

Dark cloud over new roadworks By Charlene Macaulay A Tarneit resident has branded the new Sneydes Road interchange a traffic hazard after dark, with street lights yet to be turned on months after the project was completed. Alan Riches said he first became aware of the problem in late September when he was driving from his daughter’s Point Cook home to his Tarneit property. He said he struggled to see where he was driving. “It was pouring rain, pitch black, and coming up over the bridge on Sneydes Road heading

towards Werribee, there were oncoming cars – some of them had their headlights on high-beam – and, with the reflection … I nearly ran off the road,” he said. “I got a terrible shock.” Mr Riches said he reported the matter to VicRoads, Powercor and Werribee MP Tim Pallas’ office, but had yet to get an answer as to when the lights will be switched on. “The infrastructure is there, but the lights are not switched on. It’s pitch black until you reach the intersection where Sneydes Road meets the Princes Highway.”

‘‘

The infrastructure is there, but the lights are not - Alan Riches switched on

’’

Stage one of the $71 million Sneydes Road interchange works – which included Melbourne-bound lanes to the Princes Freeway and the new Sneydes Road bridge – opened last May. Stage two – which included Geelong-bound ramps, new traffic lights at the Sneydes Road

and Hoppers Lane intersection, and a wider intersection with extra turning lanes – opened at the end of October. A Powercor spokeswoman said responsibility for turning the lights on rests with Downer EDI, which is working through “some specifications” to do with the street lights. “Powercor and Downer EDI are working through that now, as quickly as they can. As soon as that’s resolved, then Downer EDI can lodge the request to connect, and then we’ll work to get those lights connected.” She could not say how long this will take.

Two Wyndham DJs are keen to spin some old-school tunes on their home turf. Paul Davy (DJ Davy) and Eilis Hughes (DJ Oily Shoes) make up West-Side Retro, a duo that plays retro pop and disco classics from the 70s, 80s and 90s around Melbourne. It occurred to the duo that although there were many retro nights across Melbourne’s inner west, people in Wyndham had to travel outside of the area to get their old-school music fix. West-Side Retro has teamed up with Cody’s Cafe in Manor Lakes to host a pre-Valentine’s Love in the first degree launch party on February 11. Mr Davy said the pair hopes to run retro nights across Wyndham every month. “We really want to give people the space and the opportunity to have a good time, whether that’s a couple of mates catching up for a drink, or a dance.”

A spokesperson for Victoria Police said police expect the new art wall to be used properly, and asked that people respect the area and also welcome those wanting to use the space for their art works as well. If offensive material is found on the wall, people are asked to report it to council’s graffiti hotline on 8734 2709.

Wyndham roads claimed 10 lives last year – double the toll of the year before. Transport Accident Commission (TAC) figures show eight men and two women were killed in road collisions during 2016. Four drivers, three motorcyclists, two pedestrians and one passenger were among the fatalities. Despite the high number of fatalities, there was a 25.6 per cent reduction in serious injury collisions, with 96 recorded in 2016. Westgate Highway Patrol Senior Sergeant Ely Reynolds said speed and driver distraction were the main causes of road accidents in Wyndham. “In my experience, there can be very little between a collision without injuries and one that is fatal,” he said. “Distraction in our busy lives is now one of the most common causes of road trauma. “A lapse in judgement, fatigue or travelling at inappropriate speeds can change your life – and the lives of those around you – forever. “Please help us reduce road trauma by being responsible on our roads, turn off your mobile, put your seatbelt on and be attentive while driving,” Senior Sergeant Reynolds said. He said highway patrols would be teaming up with the TAC to target drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs in the upcoming Operation Speakeasy. Charlene Macaulay

Welfare ‘debt’ fightback urged By Adem Saban Wyndham residents who have received letters from Centrelink seeking payment for “inaccurate” debts are being urged to fight the claims. Since late 2016, Centrelink has been issuing debt notices to people nationwide based on a new computer data analysis. The federal government itself has acknowledged many letters are based on inaccurate information. Tarneit resident Justine Morris said she was chased for a debt of $5300. While studying to be a teacher, she received Centrelink payments in 2010 and 2011 to assist with rent, and it has

been claimed that she did not declare all her income. By the time she received the letter, which was initially posted to an old address, it was too late to appeal, she said. Ms Morris managed to get an extension and began to challenge the debt. “I just sank down when I received the letter,” she said. “I had just bought a house and I thought, how the heck am I going to pay my mortgage and bills, and not live on baked beans? I had a lot of anger in me.” Ms Morris sought the help of federal Lalor MP Joanne Ryan and, after a long battle, she found she had not owed any money, and the debt was wiped clean.

money when she was, in fact, unemployed. The $950 is a lot of money to her. “I want to disappear. I could cry, but I know if I do I’m not going to stop. “Some people are genuinely rorting the system; attack them, not open and honest people like me.” Ms Ryan said her office had experienced a spike in people having trouble with Centrelink, and she urged anyone who had received an incorrect letter to contact her office for assistance in requesting a review. WEstJustice chief executive Denis Nelthorpe also urged Wyndham residents to seek the organisation’s help in seeking a review.

Werribee’s Natalie Harris hasn’t been as lucky. She works in after-school care and relies on a combination of her income and family tax benefits to support herself and her 11-year-old son. She received a letter notifying her of a $950 debt. “In comparison to other cases, it’s small … but that’s not the point,” she said. Centrelink claims she earned a sum of

Foodie bliss on wheels Tens of thousands of people flocked to Williams Landing over the weekend for pretzels, gourmet burgers and tacos galore. The Landing’s shopping centre carpark was transformed into foodie heaven between Thursday and Sunday for the inaugural Point Cook-Williams Landing Food Truck Festival. Event organiser Danny Grant said almost 40,000 people grabbed a bite to eat at one of the 30 trucks that parked over the four days. Among the most popular trucks were El Chivi, from which Uruguayan steak sandwiches were served, and Filipino street food van Thrilla in Manila. “We thought it was a great success,” Mr Grant said. “We were pretty stoked with the number of people who came and chuffed about the

feedback, which was pretty positive. The reason we come out to these areas is to give people an opportunity that those in the inner city get but the outer suburbs don’t, and that sort of paid off.” Festival-goers also got to enjoy carnival rides and face-painting. Mr Grant, who will be hosting the food truck festival in other Melboune locations – including Craigieburn, Berwick and Doncaster – said he was keen to return to Williams Landing next year.

Martial artist fights on By Charlene Macaulay

There’s still plenty happening despite most people returning to work or study. On Saturday Evening 28 January Essence Productions are running Down To Earth - a fun, interactive night performance at the restored farm at Werribee Park. Set in 1862 this play takes you on a journey including comedy, history and scary elements. This event is suitable for ages 10 years and above. If you live closer to Point Cook, on the same night there’s a Ghost Tour of the Point Cook Homestead where you can discover the Chirnside Family secrets in the original 1850s homestead still haunted by Thomas, hear of betrayal in the old stables home to Melbourne Cup winners and visit long-lost souls. This event is suitable for ages 12 years and above. On Saturday 4th February between 4-9pm Kelly Park will come alive to yet again host Wyndham’s contribution to the annual gay and lesbian Midsumma Festival - Park Lounge. With a true local community feel and atmosphere of acceptance and diversity, we will also be offering DJ’s, Market Stalls, BBQs, a Popup Bar and an hilarious Beyond The Bridge Talent Show from 6.30pm.

For Eduardo Salazar, martial arts aren’t just a hobby or career – they’re a way of life. The 40-year-old got his first taste of martial arts when he was eight, and quickly found a talent for muay thai, kung fu, taekwondo, kummooyeh and hapkido. It’s this training that put him in good stead when, nearly three years ago, he was involved in a motorcycle accident that broke his spine and left him wheelchair-bound. Mr Salazar also lost sight in his left eye as a result of the accident. Doctors initially told him he would remain bed-bound for the rest of his life, but Mr Salazar’s never-say-die attitude helped him to defy the odds. “Yes, I suffer, yes, it’s painful – my whole life has changed,” he said. “But I had to think – did I want to live all of my life in a bed? Or do I want life? “When you really learn about martial arts, you understand the real purpose of martial arts is understanding yourself in different situations. “I am now in a wheelchair … and I don’t stop. Last year, I was world champion in hapkido and I think it’s a good example for people. “Hapkido is very effective. You don’t need to be strong. “The principles of hapkido teach you about self-control. “Your best opponent is yourself – if you can’t control yourself, you can’t control anything.” Mr Salazar, a fourth dan black belt in hapkido, recently moved from Columbia to Werribee and is now passing on martial arts secrets at classes at Iramoo Community Centre.

Many faces of the law By Charlene Macaulay When they’re not busy fighting crime, Wyndham police officers have been hard at work raising money – and their heart rates – to help out people living in poverty. Thirty-two police officers from the Werribee, Wyndham North and Laverton stations will be working in teams of four to conquer the Oxfam trailwalker event at Melbourne, during which they’ll have to walk 100 kilometres in less than 40 hours.

‘‘

It creates a good team environment … makes for a - Amanda Bennett happy team

’’

The annual event is held in 11 countries around the world, with money raised going towards Oxfam’s efforts to fight poverty and injustice. First Constable Amanda Bennett said police had been taking part in weekly treks around the You Yangs and Werribee Open Range Zoo, as well as gym sessions, to get ready for the walk. Members will also take part in the Wyndham Relay for Life the week before the Oxfam trailwalker event to get in some last-minute training. First Constable Bennett said the trek challenge was a great way for police to hang out with fellow officers of different ranks and departments with whom they might otherwise not see much. “It creates a good team environment, some positive reasons to catch up outside of work, and makes for a happy team environment,” she said.

Upgrade for town centres The upgrade of a community centre in Point Cook is expected to kick off in April, with Wyndham council confident residents and community groups will benefit from the improvements. Work on the Point Cook Community Learning Centre in Cheetham Street will be followed by upgrades on centres in Tarneit and Wyndham Vale. Since the Point Cook centre opened in 2008, Point Cook’s population has soared by more than 90,000 people. Sections of the Point Cook centre will be unavailable for hire during the work. Community groups who use the centre have been redirected to centres in Point Cook or Truganina. The Point Cook centre’s library and kindergarten will remain open. Wyndham mayor Henry Barlow said the idea behind the upgrade was about making the council more accessible and responsive to the community. “While you can already do lots of things at your local community learning centres – like pay your rates, register your pet or submit a service request with council – these upgrades will mean that we can trial other services from these buildings,” he said. The council will also trial holding meetings at the upgraded community centres. The Point Cook centre cost $5.5 million when it opened in 2008. Adem Saban

Always obey the warning signs at level crossings and take care around trains.

The Wyndham Grand Annual Yoga Trail is back at beautiful sites across the municipality. Event founder Bek Blake combined her love for yoga and Wyndham by bringing the event to life six years ago. The trail sessions are at Werribee Park Mansion, Werribee South beach, Shadowfax Winery, the State Rose Garden and the Open Range Zoo. “I used to visit all these locations frequently with my children and I was amazed how little locals would utilise them,” she said. “I asked the respective locations and they were too happy to host us. I believe we need a connection with nature.” Ms Blake got the idea to begin yoga when, while waiting in line to pay a bill at Werribee

post office, she noticed a DVD on the shelf. She has since reaped the rewards. “You learn that your own body is worth listening to,” she said. “You learn that you are a unique collection of life experiences and thoughts and there is always hope. The body mind and spirit are one and the same. “Balance is not about getting things to a certain state of perfection – it is the ability to adapt, change and thrive in all seasons and situations.” All are invited to join the trail.

MY WYNDHAM For Geoff Parker, there’s no better place than Point Cook. He speaks with Adem Saban.

Twenty years. Originally, I lived in Frankston, then St Albans, but came to Point Cook. It’s a great area. When we first bought land here and started to build, it was still barely starting to develop. I knew the area well before living here. I love fishing, so I was always going down Point Cook Road to Werribee South to go fishing. I was always happy to live here. What do you love most about Point Cook? The thing that’s so great is that it’s still got that semi-rural feel. It’s very close, of course, to the freeway, and less than 10 minutes away from the beach. If we want to go down to Geelong or Queenscliff, we’re well on our way. It’s just a very pleasant area. You’re quite involved with the WynBay Bulldogs. Tell me about that. The football team belongs to a competition called Reclink. I’ve been involved for eight years. It’s very much a community team. I played football at Werribee until I was 54, then hurt my knee badly and had to give it away. I still wanted to be involved, and this club suited me, gave me the opportunity to put something back into football. I’m involved in

many ways, on game day and with the training. It takes up a lot of my time. What is the team exactly? It’s a great competition that brings people together from all walks of life, all types of home and family situations. We guide these people on the right path. We have people of all ages, but a lot of the younger ones are from disadvantaged and broken homes. Many have gotten involved in alcohol and drugs. Some are unemployed for whatever reason. We have ladies playing, too, with modified rules. If you have a spare hour or so, what do you do? As I mentioned earlier, I’m very keen on boating and fishing. Generally where I can, I get out on the water doing some activities. I’m also ex-army, so I’m a member of the Altona RSL. If you were to have friends or family visiting from interstate, where would you take them to show off Wyndham?

(Dennis Manktelow)

How long have you been in Point Cook?

Werribee South beach. People are just so amazed that there’s a spot like this in Werribee South. It’s just a great little spot, it’s quiet, not overly crowded.

Culture keepers cross the ditch By Esther Lauaki

See how your future may unfold If you’re one of Wyndham’s 10,000 residents aged more than 65 and contemplating future living options, you’re not alone, Andrew O’Connor, Victorian and South Australian regional manager for Lendlease’s Retirement Living business, says. “The new year is a common time for people to evaluate their circumstances, and plan for a change,” he says. “Australia’s retirement living communities are home to 184,000-plus older Australians, a figure that’s expected to more than double in the next decade.” Mr O’Connor points out recent Australian Property Council research found that 46 per cent of residents report an increase in happiness and mental wellbeing once living independently in a connected retirement community. “The same research showed that residents don’t need to visit the GP as often as others of their

age, and spend less time in hospital if admitted.” He adds that one of the most common things residents tell him is they wished they’d made the move sooner. “All our villages provide residents with the flexibility to stay socially and physically active, while remaining connected to their local community,” he says. “However, it’s the unique atmosphere at each village that many residents consider when making their choice. The best way to make an informed decision about retirement living is to experience the village first-hand.” Anyone interested can stop by for a cup of tea and a tour of Heathglen retirement communities. Heathglen, 2 Glendale Court, Werribee. Inquiries: 1800 550 550 or www.retirementbylendlease.com.au.

A love for performance, music and Maori culture is what brought the Nga Manu Waiata performing arts group together more than a decade ago. Now the Laverton-based performers, which includes up to 90 members from all over the western suburbs, are national champions in kapa haka (traditional Māori performing arts). The group is gearing up to take on trans Tasman rivals across the ditch next month at the Te Matatini cultural festival – hailed as the pinnacle event for Māori performing arts events. A contingent of 40 performers and support crew from Nga Manu Waiata will travel to New Zealand for the festival, from February 22 to 26, which draws thousands of people every other year. Reuben Matene, one of the group’s eight founding members, says it was nostalgia for music and culture that united friends and family from across Victoria years ago. “It was about music and singing,” Mr Matene says. “We love music and then, when a few beverages get involved, these ideas came about to form a group and go travelling the world. “That was how the group started.” The group performed at functions in Hawaii and north America, then competed at Australian regional competitions as membership grew. “The eight founders are Kapa Haka buffs,” Mr Matene says. “We started performing when we were

young kids with our mums and dads back in New Zealand. “We’ve since participated in almost every regional kapa haka competition in Australia since 2004.” Nga Manu Waiata won the Australian regionals in Perth in April last year to qualify for this year’s Te Matatini festival.

performers and joined as a child in 2009. “My sister started dancing before I did,” Miss Berry says. “I joined a children’s kapa haka group. I enjoyed it so much that I carried on and I’m still performing today … because I’m proud of my culture and it makes me feel like I’m part of something big.” A primary focus is to ensure a “sense of belonging” for Victorian-born Māori and New Zealand expats in Australia, Mr Matene says. “One of the reasons we formed this ropu (group) was to keep that sense of connection,” he says. “It was also to keep our language alive because there are not enough people in Australia who speak our language. “We’ve also done a lot of research on the representation of Māori and Polynesians within the justice system right now. “We’re finding that the vast majority have

The members, whose ages range from toddlers to the eldest at 80 years, encourage intergenerational learning. “We do have a lot of our elders who come to practices and form part and parcel of what we do,” Mr Matene says. “They keep the cultural grounding … they make sure that we are following protocol and make sure that our compositions flow and that

The adoption by Werribee Shire Council on Monday night of a drainage scheme for the area west of the river, will now assure Werribee’s development as a major population centre outside the metropolitan area. The government has committed itself to supporting the scheme with authorising of loan funds and releasing land for development, now frozen, if council made the decision to proceed.

Werribee will officially become a “city” in March. The announcement was made by the acting minister for Local Government last week. However it is unlikely that local residents will notice much change in the country suburb when they awake the following morning.

Fears Wyndham council could become a political circus arose last week after the local branch of the Labor party put forward names of five authorised candidates. Several former mayors have criticised the ALP’s actions claiming a Labor-dominated council would put the interests of the party before those of residents. The names of the candidates were officially released from the office of Werribee MP Mary Gillett.

A Wyndham baby boom is stretching resources at Werribee Mercy Hospital. The number of births at the hospital has increased by almost 12 per cent in three years. The boom has put pressure on the hospital’s facilities, which faces the challenge of providing enough beds for mothers.

Family violence reports mount up Despite efforts to reduce the strain on domestic violence support services, Women’s Health West is taking increasing numbers of police referrals for victims needing help. Victoria Police has been trialling a program called Enhancing Police Responses to Family Violence at Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay, Wyndham, Brimbank and Melton. This streamlines the police referral process. It was expected that referrals would drop by about 30 per cent after the pilot program was rolled out in July last year, thereby reducing the pressure on women’s support services. But while this 30 per cent drop happened, overall, the number of domestic violence incidents continues to climb through the roof. There were 4980 police referrals to Women’s Health West in the six months to December, 2015. The figure for the six months to December, 2016 (once the pilot program was introduced) was 4927. WHW chief executive Robyn Gregory said police and domestic violence services had been “overwhelmed” by referral numbers that “just went up and up”. “We had months where we were dealing with thousands of police referrals, and it was just overwhelming with a small number of staff,” Dr Gregory said. “Sometimes we had only two or three staff responding. “The police, like us, were overwhelmed

… so they made a decision in the face of not having additional resources themselves, to only fax police referrals to Women’s Health West where the incident was in the criminal category.” Dr Gregory said in view of the resources available, this was the only viable option, but not being able to intervene early in non-criminal abuses draws a “double-edged sword”.

We were dealing with thousands of police - Robyn Gregory referrals

’’

She said it was unfortunate some domestic violence victims weren’t able to be seen by health services because of the constraints of the system. “In those areas coded non-criminal, there’s an opportunity to engage with the women … before they escalate into criminal abuse,” Dr Gregory said. “[But] how do we ensure we keep women and children safe and hold perpetrators to account with the resources we have?” She hopes the state government’s 10-year financial strategy for tackling domestic violence, to be released later this year, will be able to address critical resourcing issues. There needs to be much greater investment in primary prevention, she said, based on long-term plans to tackle the scourge of domestic violence into the future.

Fridays of fine fare and even song Two weeks from now, Shadowfax Wines kicks off its run of four popular Friday Twilight Sessions. It’s a fantastic time, with warm weather in full swing, to get out and about – whether in the artistic surroundings of the large, contemporary restaurant, or out back on wooden tables amid lovely gardens and grapevines. From February 3, the winery’s new summer menu is set to tempt visitors with dishes that have a focus on local produce – some harvested each morning from the Shadowfax kitchen garden. Chef Ben D’Arcy also loves wood-fired cooking and his pizzas are something special … the confit duck leg, sweet garden beetroot, kale and lemon mascarpone, for example. Or how about a pizza with garden broad beans, zucchini, house-made dukkah, taleggio, courgette flowers and rocket. Ben reckons the two favourite summer dishes are the house-made pumpkin and mascarpone

tortellini with garlic and herb butter, and the confit Murray Valley pork belly, roasted apple and fennel, with onion cream. And dishes can be matched with a Shadowfax 2011 shiraz, last year’s Minnow rose, a chardonnay or NV CuveeX, which appear among others from a good list of mostly regional wines. Music during the Twilight Sessions is a relaxed affair, with local Lewis Pidutti bringing his soulful, funky and slightly jazzy sounds. Everything is now ready for bookings, so get a gang together to soak up the ambience, tuck into foodie treats and visit the cellar door while summer evenings are at their best. Shadowfax Wines, K Road, Werribee. Restaurant opens noon-3pm weekdays and noon-4pm weekends. Inquiries: 9731 4420 or www.shadowfax.com.au

Straw bales best for pain-free gardening As one lady in her 80s said: “It’s not the getting down to my vegie garden, it’s the getting up again that’s the hard part.” It’s true that as we get older, the planting, weeding, digging and even harvesting can get a bit beyond us. Downsizing to an apartment or joining a retirement community can also put a serious dent in our vegie garden aspirations. But there is a way our cherished home-grown vegies can co-exist with rickety knees, failing leg muscles and iffy backs, as well as limited garden space – a straw bale garden. Not only is a straw bale garden inexpensive, you can put it wherever you want and it’ll eventually turn into compost to feed next season’s garden – how’s that for recycling? Okay, so here’s the drill … once you’ve bought your bale(s): 1. Choose a sunny spot for permanent placement when it’s still dry (it gets mighty heavy once wet). If on grass, lay newspaper layers or cardboard beneath it to prevent weeds growing up through it. To avoid bending, you can place it on a knee-high surface – leaving about 30cm all around so that as the bale gradually decomposes, the “mess” can be easily swept into a container. 2. Position the bale so the narrow side showing cut straw ends is facing up – this allows better moisture penetration. 3. Condition the bale first. For the first three days, water it thoroughly so it stays damp. For the next six days, continue watering and add a liquid fertiliser. On day 10, it’s back to just watering until the temperature inside the bale (it gets really hot) has cooled down to external air temperature. Then it’s time to plant. 4. Choose smaller plants, such as herbs, lettuces, rocket, zucchini, cucumbers, strawberries and cherry tomatoes – or flowers. Make a suitably sized hole in the bale, add in quality potting soil for extra nutrients and stability, and pop the seedling in. Fertilise every two to three weeks and don’t let the bale dry out. You’re done! Happy growing … happy knees and back … Carole Levy

Many features in the four rooms flanking the traditional wide hallway are retained, including fireplaces and mantelpieces, ornate cornices and rosettes on three-metre ceilings, deep skirts, dado straps, picture rails and lovely bay windows.

The rewards for sprucing up this old dame are nevertheless many. Three of the rooms off the hallway are large, carpeted bedrooms. Two at the front have identical en suites, with period-style vanity units and angled, timber-lined ceilings. The third bedroom has a door to the side yard, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with a pair of pedestal basins. There’s yet another big bathroom at the

back, this one with period styling, including a clawfoot tub. The other original rooms are a big lounge room (with one of the fireplaces) and a dining room, the latter linking with the kitchen-meals area. Cream-painted cabinetry, timber benches, leadlight overheads, cream subway tiles, and a Germania 900mm cooker under a copper rangehood characterise the kitchen, while the meals space has a walk-in pantry and bay window. At the back door, there’s a walk-through laundry with storage closets and built-in

SPORT Werribee Devils have further strengthened links with Nicholls State University. Last season’s men’s state championship imports Jeremy Smith and Fred Hunter both came through the college based in Thibodaux, Louisiana. So important were they for the Devils last year that coach Michael Czepil invited them back to the club this season. The Nicholls State influence will be even stronger at Werribee this season. Devils women’s coach Mahaela Jackson has decided to bring in Sumar Leslie, another graduate of Nicholls State. Leslie comes with a big endorsement from Smith, who brought the talented point guard to the attention of the Devils.

In her senior year, Leslie led Nicholls State to its first ever win in the Southland Conference Tournament. After her college career, Leslie travelled abroad to play in Puerto Rico, where she played in the Pro League before taking time off for family commitments. Leslie has spent 12 months in the gym to get game fit, and will pick up her basketball career with Werribee. Leslie is likely to be the Devils starting point guard and a leader for the team. “It’s an absolute honour to continue my career in Australia,” Leslie said. “This is a team and an opportunity that I believe fits me, and a coaching staff that is ideal for my play.

“I’ve dedicated myself to the sport harder in the past 12 months than I ever have in my life,” she said. “I think the Devils are going to be getting someone committed to winning at a high level and competing every single night. “After extensive research, my team and I have learned a lot about Australia, its culture, its people and the wonderful things there, and I’m so excited to get started in that chapter.” Leslie will join the team for preseason training next month. Meanwhile, Werribee has appointed the well-travelled Reece Potter as its player and coach development manager. The Devils also unveiled Andrew Summerville as the club’s business manager. Lance Jenkinson

Werribee, here we come By Lance Jenkinson Werribee Devils have rolled out the welcome mat for last season’s imports Jeremy Smith and Fred Hunter. The Devils opted to re-sign the American pair after their success with the club in the 2016 Big V Basketball men’s state championship. “Our top priority this off-season was to get Jeremy and Fred back to Werribee,” second-year Devils’ coach Michael Czepil said. “They both made a massive contribution to our club this past season, both on and off the court. “So we are thrilled they want to come back and continue the work they began last year.” Smith did it all in the back court for Werribee last season.

‘‘

I left with … unfinished business, both on and off - Jeremy Smith the court

’’

The guard averaged 24.5 points, second-best in the league, to go with 8.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. Smith shot a remarkable 59.1 per cent from the field and 41 per cent from beyond the arc. His ability to get to the free throw line was not wasted either, as he scored the fourth-most points from the charity stripe in the league. “I can’t wait to get back in the Werribee community,” Smith, currently in New Orleans, said. “I felt like I left with a bit of unfinished business, both on and off the court. “I look forward to making an impact and accomplishing more during the 2017 season.” Hunter was a late arrival to Werribee last season, missing the opening four games. But once he shook off some early rust, he became a huge threat for the Devils, both offensively and defensively. He averaged 19.3 points and 9.4 rebounds per game to go with 3.1 assists. Hunter led the league in steals, with 2.2 per contest. Also hailing from New Orleans, Hunter is looking forward to a full season in the Devils’ uniform. “I’m happy to be returning back to Werribee,” he said. “Being able to play with Jeremy again, and to play for coach ‘Czep’ were a big part of me returning. I think the team started to figure things out towards the end of the season, and I want to see how we go right from the start. “I feel like we can accomplish more.” Smith and Hunter are slated to arrive for preseason training in early February. Star guard Jeremy Smith will return to Werribee Devils this season. (Shawn Smits)

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ The Australian cricket selectors are not googling for Jonathan Brown’s telephone number after his debut for the Yarraville Club Cricket Club in the VTCA. The triple Lions AFL premiership player was not required to bat. He bowled three overs for a return of 1-22. He claimed his wicket in his first over. He made a bigger impression after the game during the “Have a Crownie with Browny” function. It is great to see some real excitement in local cricket similar to that seen with Brendan Fevola and Jason Akermanis and the like playing in suburban football. The Clubbers are on top of the ladder and Brown is expected to be available for a few more games before this season ends. The question is: Is he worth his spot in the first X1? ■ The annual Australia Day Maribyrnong Gift will take place at Pennell Reserve in Braybrook on Thursday. Local athletics legend Terry McGarity tells me the surface is top class and rivals the MCG it is so good, thanks to the work done by Mark Scholes and the parks and gardens crew. Meghan McMahon will be trying for back-to-back wins and is in good form after winning recently at Daylesford. The defending men’s champion is Tim Rosen. The day’s events begin at noon with the feature race at 4.40pm. Entry is free and there will be food and drink available. ■ Many local cricket clubs will be participating in the annual pink stumps day. Hoppers Crossing’s event will be on Saturday, February 18. Little River’s event will be held on Saturday, February 25, when it hosts Winchelsea. A Redbacks past players day will be part of the celebrations. Hoppers Crossing has had a very ordinary season with the bat, falling short of three figures again last week when rolled for 91. That was the same tally Werribee coach Tim O’Brien scored for the Tigers last Saturday and James Damjanovski notched up for Yarraville Club. ■ The Werribee Football Club will hold its annual golf day at Werribee Park Golf Club on Friday, February 17, with a shotgun start at 12.30. There will be plenty of prizes and the format will be the ambrose system. Contact Darren Hellmann at dhellmann@ werribeefccom.au for details and bookings.

SPORT

Bees buzz as fight to survive continues Werribee took no prisoners as it wreaked havoc on bottom-of-the-ladder Preston-Reservoir, giving its survival hopes a much-needed boost in the Bowls Victoria division 1. With points hard to come by against the sides in the top half, the Bees knew a close win was not going to suffice against a side that is serving up close to maximum points to their rivals each week. It all went to plan for the Bees, who strolled to a three-rinks-to-one 106-53 win at the Bee Hive on Saturday, collecting 16 of a possible 18 points that lifts them out of the relegation zone. “We were expecting to win, and had to win big to pick the points up that we obviously need,” Bees’ skip Snowy Barker said. “It was just really good to get 16 points. “Hopefully, it will build confidence and we can take it forward to next week.”

Werribee has moved 12 points clear of the second-last side Altona Sports. The two sides will meet again between now and the end of the season. The Bees don’t want to have to rely on beating Altona Sports to ensure their safety though. They are hellbent on causing an upset against Glenroy away on Saturday. “Every game from here on end is big,” Barker said. “We beat them here earlier in the season, but they’ll be harder on their track. “If we can get another win, that would be a bonus.” Werribee’s only blemish against Preston-Reservoir was the Mick O’Neil rink, which fell by eight shots. Barker, up 29, and Dion Warnecke, up 23, were commanding winners for the Bees, while

Rob Panton was a little closer, winning by nine. For Warnecke, the most inexperienced of the skips, a big win has only further enhanced his chances of holding on to a skipper position. “It’s his position to lose,” Barker said. “We’re happy to keep going with him.” Meanwhile, Hoppers Crossing has defeated Deer Park (2) 72-63 in the division 3 top of the table clash. Hoppers picked up 16 points and opened up a 15-point lead at the top ahead of Saturday’s away clash with mid-table Werribee (3). Lance Jenkinson

Thriller clips Saints’ ride By Lance Jenkinson Seabrook has been riding on cloud nine all summer in the VTCA west A1 – until Saturday. The Saints lost for the first time this season, going down by 12 runs in a thriller to finals’ contenders Williamstown Imperials at KC White Reserve. It proved to be costly loss for the Saints, falling outside the home final positions for the first time, and down to third. Saints’ skipper Leigh Edwards said it was not the end of the world for the Saints to finally taste defeat in the run-up to the finals and it would act as a wake-up call for his players. “As much as you don’t want to lose, to be challenged and set a task, I think the boys will learn something from it because I don’t think we’ve been challenged that much this year,” he said. “It proves you’re not invincible going into finals. “The top five teams could all make finals, and we’re not guaranteed a position yet at all. “It might fire up the boys for the next couple of weeks to make sure they switch on because nothing is just going to easily come to us.” For most of the game, Seabrook were in cruise control, seemingly headed for victory. Set 163 to win, the Saints marched confidently to 4-143, with the foundation provided by Edwards (32) and Dilip Sarkhell (25). The breaking up of the Andrew Hodgart (35) and Peter Fraczek (21) partnership, which had put on 49 for the fifth wicket, sparked a dramatic collapse, and the Saints lost their last six wickets for seven runs to be all out for 150. “We were pretty much in control a lot of the day and then we lost a wicket when we had a good partnership going,” Edwards said. “We needed 30 off about nine overs with six wickets in hand, and that partnership got broken up … it was always going to be hard for the new batsmen to come in and score on a low, slow wicket. We unfortunately had a collapse and that was it.” Seabrook will travel to Gellibrand for a two-day game starting Saturday, hoping the last start loss was an aberration. “It was our first loss for the year, so hopefully we bounce back next week,” Edwards said. “Gellibrand are a couple of games out of the four, so it’s a little bit of a double-point game … if we can beat the teams trying to get into the four, we’ll hold our spot. So if we knock off Gellibrand and Willy Colts, we’ll be guaranteed finals.” In north-west B1, Wyndhamvale found air from the relegation zone with a two-wicket win over Footscray ANA at Angliss Reserve. Three wickets each to Falcons’ bowlers Jay Dolliver and Andrew Webb restricted ANA to 145. Wyndhamvale passed the target with three balls to spare, led by 36 from Ryan Radford. Point Cook’s finals chances suffered a blow after an 18-run loss to East Keilor at Overland Reserve. The Warriors were all out for 133 in their chase for Easts’ score of 7-151.

Bears find new pride in their performance Bellbridge drew a line through its own name two weeks ago when conversation turned to the VTCA west A1 finals. The Bears were on the receiving end of heavy defeats to finals-bound sides Seabrook and Grand United either side of the Christmas break, and the manner of the losses were a concern. “We had a bit of a deep and meaningful to see where we wanted to head,” Bears’ veteran Mark Croswell said. “It’s about people taking pride in their performance from now on. “That’s going to be the main thing.” Bellbridge has taken steps in the right direction since those talks. The Bears have strung together consecutive wins, albeit against bottom sides Williamstown Congs and County West. It’s not the results that have pleased Croswell, but the intent. “We’ve been a bit more energized,” he said. “It’s about being as competitive as we can be. “It’s pleasing to get two wins in a row.” Bellbridge did what most other sides have done this season and totally dismantled struggling newcomers County West by 140 runs at Mossfiel Reserve. Bears’ bowlers came out breathing fire, routing County West for just 46. New ball operators Croswell (3-16) and Andrew Wilks (2-16) combined for five wickets, before Patrick Lee (3-8) and Adam Masterson (1-5) finished the job. More pleasing for Bellbridge was its strong batting performance. For once, there was no dramatic tale to tell, just a solid score of 6-186 from their 40 overs. “The focus has got to be on our batting because it has been our Achilles heel for the season,” Croswell said. “It was a big emphasis for us.” Bellbridge passed the target two down before Bhavin Patel (65) and Steve Kelaart (35 not out) had a bit of fun dispatching the County West bowlers to all sections. Middle order production has been an issue for the Bears this season, but perhaps a Patel and Kelaart partnership can be the way forward. “It’s something that we really haven’t had in the middle order this year,” Croswell said. Bellbridge moves up to seventh, 22 points outside the top four, and can play the role of finals’ spoiler against fifth-placed Williamstown Colts in a two-day game at Greenwich Reserve starting Saturday.

Top order fires for Tigers By Lance Jenkinson From the moment Werribee’s top order set foot on Bayswater Oval, they were drooling at a prospect of a run feast. The Tigers have done it tough on occasions in sub-district cricket this season, with unfavourable batting conditions leading to some low totals. But they were free of pitfalls and able to unleash their full arsenal on Saturday to make a competitive 7-282 against their opponents. “The boys have been struggling with the bat lately, so it was good for guys to get some runs,” Tigers top order batsman Shaun Dean said. “It was a nice flat wicket, the outfield was just as good, so it was a real nice day to bat.” Werribee has been one of the most dominant batting sides in sub-district cricket for the best part of five seasons. This summer though, luck has gone against them. The previous week, the Tigers were bowled out for 48.

“We just had to put that our of our minds because it had nothing to do with the way we batted,” Dean said. “The wicket was an absolute disgrace.” But that wasn’t Werribee’s only low score of the season. The Tigers were routed for 77 by Williamstown and 114 by Croydon. “Against Williamstown, they bowled really well and we didn’t bat well at all, so it was more to do with our application,” Dean said. “The Croydon one … we turned up and half the wicket was under water. “It’s really only been one game where it’s been our own fault with application. When we turn up to some good conditions, we know we’ve got some good batting depth there, and it showed through on the weekend. “We’re way better than the totals we’ve been putting out.” So, there were no excuses for Werribee on Saturday, and none needed. The Tigers were in control from the outset – openers Adam Alifraco (43) and Matthew

Burton (30) putting on 64 before the first wicket fell. “They set the whole day up for us,” Dean said. It was the O’Brien show that put Werribee in command. The Tigers’ captain brushed off his new year struggles to post 91. Dean (54) played the anchor role at the other end in a 127-run third wicket partnership, that took the Tigers to 3-201. O’Brien clipped the Bayswater spinners all over the park. “He came out and dominated straight away,” Dean said. “They bowled about 50 overs of spin and that’s Tim’s bread and butter, so it got him going.” Werribee still has a bit of hard yakka in front of it to get the six points. If the same conditions are available to Bayswater, the home side has the firepower to chase down a big score. “We’re definitely going to have to bowl well,” Dean said. “Once you get set, it’s going to be hard to get anyone out.” It will be win at all costs for both sides, both sitting just outside the top six.

Cream turns sour for runthirsty Cats Hoppers Crossing will do well to avoid an outright loss to Yarraville in sub-district cricket this Saturday. First innings points have already eluded the Cats after yet another unproductive performance with the bat at the Yarraville Oval on day one. The Cats could muster only 91, despite being out in the middle for 56.2 overs. They scored at a snail-paced 1.62 runs an over with Sanka Abeyruwan the leading scorer with 22; Chris Henry (14), Hendro Dias (11no) and Adrian Myers (11) were the only others in double figures. Yarraville showed the visitors how it was done, making 1-122 off just 27 overs for a first innings lead of 31 with nine wickets in hand. Once skipper Greg Kennedy removed Matthew Harrison for four, the Cats had no answer to the brilliance of Matthew Love (66no) and Josh Hahnel (44no), who combined for an unbeaten 95. The Eagles played with urgency, knowing an outright result could give them a slight sniff of making the finals. Yarraville will get a chance to dictate proceedings on the second day. Maximum points will surely be in the Eagles’ thinking, which could make for exciting cricket.

There is no hiding from the fact it has been a lean summer at the crease for Werribee captain Tim O’Brien, by his own lofty standards. But O’Brien snapped out of his funk as cornerstone of the Tigers on Saturday, imposing 8-272 against Bayswater in sub-district cricket at Bayswater Oval on Saturday. “It’s been a long time between drinks for me this year,” O’Brien said. “It was good to get amongst the runs.” O’Brien is one of Werribee’s most versatile cricketers. If one area of his game is down on form, another area validates his spot in the side. Besides his leadership as captain, O’Brien has been a solid contributor with the ball, and has taken six catches in the field. But O’Brien’s main asset is his batting, and when he’s firing on all cylinders, more often than not, so is Werribee. Shaun Dean, who put on a 127-run partnership with O’Brien for the third wicket, reckons O’Brien is the key to a thriving middle order.

“It was good for him to get a big score and, hopefully, it will kickstart him for the last three games,” Dean said. “If he can get going in that middle order and we can get a good start, we’ll be posting those 270-type scores every week, as we have done for the last four or five years. “He’s definitely the key in there.” O’Brien has pointed to a bit of bad luck for his below average season. He says he was “a bit stiff” with a couple of umpiring decisions. There have been some unfavourable pitches to bat on and there is a slight technical flaw may have crept into his game that needs to be analysed. “It’s just one of those years where instead of playing and missing at balls, you’re nicking them,” O’Brien said. “I don’t think I’ve done too much different with training, but it might be something technically that I haven’t been doing right. “There was also a couple of games that I was a bit stiff with rough decisions, and some

of the wickets we’ve played on haven’t been as good either, but the wicket at Bayswater was an absolute beauty.” For a day at least, O’Brien put aside his struggles and found his form of old. If it were not for a run-out, O’Brien likely would have registered his first century in more than a year. “It was disappointing (to get run out), but the main thing is to put a good score on the board,” he said. “I wasn’t too concerned about 100. “I was pushing us to make more than 270, which we did in the end.” O’Brien is hoping his formline runs the opposite to last season, and he gets to play a major role in Werribee making a late charge to the finals. “Last year, I did the opposite, started the season pretty well and didn’t finish off the year too well. Hopefully, I can string a few scores together and help the team out, and (we can) win every game and hopefully play finals,” Lance Jenkinson
