Family battles for boys By Charlene Macaulay A Wyndham family is pulling out all stops to give three children with a fatal genetic condition the chance for a longer and better life. Tarneit grandmother Sue Tantaro is doing all she can to support her three grandsons – Anthony, Jakob and Lukas – who were all born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a hereditary condition that causes muscle wastage, breathing difficulties and heart problems. The degenerative disease means by the time the boys are 12, they will lose their ability to walk. In their teens, they’ll lose their upper body function and will eventually become quadriplegics. Most DMD sufferers usually die from heart or respiratory failure in their early to mid 20s. There is no cure. For Anthony, nine, the steroids he uses as part of his treatment have stunted his growth. He can’t do simple things like putting on his own socks, and mostly relies on his motorised scooter to get around. His seven-year-old cousin, Jakob, has also started using a scooter and is suffering from a speech impediment. Jakob’s younger brother Lukas, 4, is completely non-verbal, but his movements remain normal for a child his age. Both Anthony and Jakob are taking part in a trial for the drug Ataluren, which helps to slow down the effects of the disease. However, Ms Tantaro said there is a fair chance the boys are on a placebo and with full approval for the drug about five years away for Australia, the family plans to send the boys to Italy for treatment.
For now, the family has set up a trust account – the Cousins Crusade Appeal – and is raising money to fund the overseas treatments and to cover things the National Disability Insurance Scheme doesn’t cover, such as accessible vehicles, scooters, wheelchairs and regular physiotherapy, speech therapy and hydrotherapy.
‘‘
My family struggles every day to keep everything together
’’
- Sue Tantaro Ms Tantaro estimates it will cost about $40,000 a year for each child to access the drug, and more than $1 million to care for the boys over their lives. Ms Tantaro is building a specially-equipped respite home for her grandsons. Her daughters have had to stop working to become full-time carers for their children. “I cry every day,” she said. “My family has been on this journey for over four years and struggles every day to keep everything together. “This drug will give the boys a longer and better quality of life, hopefully until a cure is found.” The family has teamed up with F45 Training, which will run six fundraising sessions across its Werribee and Hoppers Crossing fitness studios on June 14 and donate all proceeds towards the boys’ overseas treatment. Tickets are $45, and include an introductory four-week membership to F45 Werribee or Hoppers Crossing for any non-members. To book, go to https://bit.ly/2IwVtUJ

Stadium roof leaks not so swish By Alesha Capone More than 150 young basketball players had their games cancelled in a single weekend this month because of a leaking roof at Eagle Stadium. The Werribee Basketball Association is calling for the roof to be repaired after months of inaction. Association president Paul Jones said since the winter 2017 season, the leaking roof has lead to game cancellations affecting 1000-plus participants.
He said that on the weekend of May 12, more than 150 players, aged between eight and 15, were told they couldn’t play on some of the stadium’s courts because of safety risks. The WBA is a tenant of the Werribee stadium, which is owned by the Wyndham council and managed by Western Leisure Services (WLS). Mr Jones said it was not always possible for the WBA to move or reschedule games. “Werribee Basketball is frustrated by the ongoing issues with Eagle Stadium’s roof and we are calling on Wyndham city council to address the issues,” he said.
Scotty Mac, a basketball player whose children also play basketball, said some youngsters were in tears at the weekend after being told their games had been cancelled. Mr Mac said that since the stadium was officially opened in June, 2016, it had suffered from leaking toilets and malfunctioning drinking fountains and air-conditioning. “It’s a bloody joke and something needs to be done about it,” he said. Wyndham city life director Jenny McMahon said WLS was required to close a court at the stadium on May 12 for seven hours “due to
safety concerns regarding a leak in the roof” caused by heavy rainfall. “Eagle Stadium has been experiencing re-occurring issues with the roof leaking,” Ms McMahon said. “The builder of this facility is responsible for resolving these issues, and council has been working with them, the architect and contractors. “We share the frustrations of the community and are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible, while also ensuring that ratepayers’ money is not spent on fixing something that a contractor is responsible for.”

The state government has announced $3.2 million in funding to upgrade Princes Freeway bridges between Werribee South and Railway Avenue in Laverton. Werribee MP Tim Pallas said that the funding would be used to strengthen the bridges in order to remove load limits that restrict higher-mass freight vehicles – such as semi-trailers and B-double trucks – from travelling between Geelong and the Port of Melbourne. The works are part of a $41 million Stronger Bridges, Stronger Economy program, under which 17 bridges on key arterial freight routes across the state are being upgraded. Mr Pallas said that investing in better roads and bridges would help boost Victoria’s economy by allowing more freight to travel to and from the Port of Melbourne. “Whether it’s through the massive Western Roads upgrade package, the West Gate Tunnel or these important bridge upgrades – we’re investing in the road network that people in the west need,” Mr Pallas said. The Western Roads upgrade includes $1.8 billion of works to upgrade eight arterial roads within four years and maintenence of more than 260 kilometres of arterial roads, from Werribee to Footscray, for a further 20 years. The Princes Freeway Bridge Strengthening Project started in March, 2018, and is expected to be completed later this year.

Cherry Creek jail a boost for jobs By Alesha Capone Construction of the $288 million youth justice centre in Cherry Creek, west of Werribee, is set to begin later this year. The state government last week announced that John Holland would act as the project’s managing contractor. The Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos said the youth justice facility would include an intensive supervision unit, 224 beds for remand and sentenced clients, and a mental health unit.
Ms Mikakos said the project was expected to create between 2000 and 3000 direct and indirect construction and related jobs, and that steel milled in Australia or New Zealand would be used during the construction process. She said the youth justice centre would also bring about 450 ongoing jobs to the Wyndham area, with a range of roles available including custodial and administration staff, psychologists, teachers, cleaners, gardeners and facility managers. Ms Mikakos said the project’s construction would be required to use at least 90 per cent

“local� (defined as from Australia or New Zealand) materials and content, under the state government’s Local Jobs First Policy. She said that in addition, apprentices, trainees and engineering cadets would make up at least 10 per cent of total labour hours on the justice facility’s construction.
“This is going to be a state-of-the-art, high security, rehabilitative complex that is a major part of our overhaul of the Victorian youth justice system,� Ms Mikakos said. Werribee MP Tim Pallas said the new youth justice centre would put Wyndham “on the cusp of a boom for our community’s local businesses, reflecting the confidence in the region�.

Shield appeal gears up The Salvos are calling on Wyndham residents to open their hearts and wallets this week and give generously to help those in need. The Wyndham City branch will be out in full force between now and June 2 for the annual Red Shield Appeal, doorknocking local properties and tin rattling at a number of intersections, shopping centres, Bunnings stores and train stations. The Red Shield Appeal is one of the Salvation Army’s biggest annual fundraisers, with proceeds raised going towards a range of community services, including emergency housing for people in crisis, drug and alcohol rehabilitation and financial counselling. Wyndham City branch captain Kim Haworth said the Wyndham crew hoped to raise $55,000 through this year’s efforts. “This financial support enables The Salvation Army to assist the most disadvantaged in our local community and in communities across
Australia. We couldn’t do the work we do without this support. When we help those in our community who are doing it tough, the whole community benefits.� The team is also on the hunt for more volunteers to tin rattle.

Fresh start for Woolies centre By Charlene Macaulay Woolworths is expanding its presence in Wyndham, announcing plans to build a multi-million dollar distribution centre in Truganina. The new Melbourne fresh distribution centre will store and deliver fresh produce and some chilled products to supermarkets across Victoria. The 32,600 square metre facility will be built next to Woolworths’ meat processing and distribution centre, MeatCo, which opened along Dohertys Road in 2015.
Woolworths chief supply chain officer Paul Graham said the custom-designed facility, expected to open in late 2020, would replace the current Mulgrave produce and recycling distribution centre. “The Melbourne fresh distribution centre is designed to have state-of-the-art refrigeration to ensure the quality and freshness of our produce,” Mr Graham said. “It also provides additional capacity to support our growing business in Victoria. “Our decision to build a new distribution centre forms part of our ambition to create a
best in class supply chain network. Co-location with the Woolworths MeatCo and proximity to produce markets will provide us with opportunities to improve how we deliver fresher, faster and more efficiently to our stores in Victoria.” A Woolworths spokesman said the new premises would create more than 150 new jobs. Wyndham council future focused economy portfolio holder Walter Villagonzalo welcomed the announcement. “It’s going to be of economic benefit to our city,” Cr Villagonzalo said.
“We need more local jobs for local residents, and Woolworths coming into our area will create additional jobs. “We are the logistics hub of Victoria, and big businesses are recognising this … we’ve already got Target and Isuzu and other companies here. It’s good news for Wyndham.” The announcement comes nearly two months after the Woolworths Wyndham Vale store was among the first in Australia to go plastic bag free, following a commitment by the supermarket chain to remove single-use plastic bags from all of its stores by June 30.
Long walk is a good fit Wyndham Vale resident Lukas White is stepping up to raise funds for a worthwhile cause. On May 25, Mr White will take part in a 60-kilometre fundraising walk, the Wild Women On Top Melbourne Coastrek, to support The Fred Hollows Foundation. Along with his mother, Jani, cousin Tara and his mother’s friend, Helen, Mr White will walk from Cape Schanck to Point Nepean. Mr White said their team name – How Far Again? – was generated by their collective sense of humour. He said that he was looking forward to the physical challenge and fun of participating in the walk. “For myself, up until a couple of years ago, I never went to gym and trained or did cardio – I sat at my computer for work all day, so this is a big milestone for me,” he said. Mr White said his two daughters, aged five
and eight, were a big part of his inspiration in entering the walk. “The walk is also supporting Fred Hollows, which is fantastic, because as a parent, it’s ridiculous for me to imagine that one of them could be needlessly blind but for the cost of one family meal at McDonald’s,” he said. “In some countries, it costs $25 for cataract treatment to restore someone’s sight.” Mr White said he hoped to raise $2000 for the Fred Hollows Foundation. He has raised more than $1000 so far. Donation details: melbourne.coastrek.com. au/fundraisers/lukaswhite Alesha Capone

T
wo things lately have reminded me that there are gems right under our noses that not only do we take for granted but that we should be shouting about from the rooftops. The world class mini-series remake of Picnic at Hanging Rock used the Werribee Park Mansion as Appleyard College, the school at which the girls are based. The result is spectacular images of a Werribee icon and a place you would immediately want to visit. Don’t panic … the girls disappear at Hanging Rock, not Werribee. We are halfway through the series and I have seen no initiative to promote the mansion’s involvement. At the very least some “as seen on Picnic at Hanging Rock” signs or ads should be happening somewhere. It looks to be yet another wasted opportunity. Over the past few weeks in my role with the Werribee Football Club, I have been involved in showing the new facilities at Avalon Airport Oval to various people. The overwhelming reaction is one of WOW – this is a first class arena and a great sports and business venue.
Dale Morris – who played at Werribee before becoming an AFL premiership player with the Bulldogs – said to me last Sunday after the Bulldogs-Werribee VFL game how impressed he was with the place. Broadcasters, business leaders and politicians have all shared the same thoughts. The club is heavily promoting the venue, and has hosted many different competitions and teams already this season. Last Saturday the TAC Cup Under-18 girls’ grand final was held at the oval. Hopefully WRFL finals will return this year as well. The point is, making people aware of what is here, what we already have, and selling it. It starts with the locals but must go way beyond that. It takes a unified and collective approach that is well organised and funded by all the relevant stakeholders. We have to stop people driving past or through the city of Wyndham, on their way to somewhere else, and make it a desirable destination point. We tick many boxes already. We just haven’t told anybody. ■

A firefighter steps up By Charlene Macaulay Dominique May’s appointment has been more than a century in the making. Ms May has made history by being elected Werribee Fire Brigade’s first female lieutenant in the branch’s 103-year history. The volunteer firefighter, who joined the CFA in 2002, will go from secretary to the position of 6th lieutenant, a position that will formally take effect from July 1. Ms May said she believed her volunteering set a great example for her two-year-old daughter Asha. “I want to show Asha she can be anything she wants to be when she grows up, but most importantly that giving back to your community is so rewarding,” she said. “I hope to set an example for the other females of our brigade, to encourage and inspire them to become leaders within CFA. “Being elected by your peers to take on such an important role is a very humbling experience.” Captain Michael Wells said Ms May’s appointment was a powerful message for all female firefighters. “Dominique is not only a highly competant firefighter, but she is also a well-respected member and leader within our brigade,” he said. Werribee firefighters also elected Damien Milloy as 1st lieutenant, Paul Ryan as 2nd lieutenant, Michael Davie as 3rd lieutenant, Brett Packer as 4th lieutenant and Scott Green as 5th lieutenant. The team will manage the brigade for the next two years.

Fuel tank top-up for bay boaties Running on empty or being stranded in the middle of Port Phillip Bay will be less likely for fishermen and other boaties, with the opening of a 24/7 fuel dock at Wyndham Harbour Marina. Marina manager Darren Finkelstein said the fuel dock would prove invaluable to all water vessels, ranging from sailing boats and commercial vessels to jetskis, charter and fishing boats and the water police. Previously, boats have had to head to either St Kilda Marina or the Royal Geelong Yacht Club to fill up, while trailer boats had to get their fuel from the service station on Duncans Road. Werribee Coast Guard commander Bruce Lawrence said the fuel dock would help both the flotilla and recreational boaters. “For the boating public, they are less likely to run out of fuel, so they’re less likely to be stuck in the middle of the bay,” Mr Lawrence said. “For commercial vessels, it’s a convenient option around the clock. And for us, we can be confident of quicker response times in any emergency.” Wyndham Habour management is also in the early planning stages to add a 19-metre dry boat storage building at the southern end of the marina. It is expected to provide storage for up to 390 boats. Charlene Macaulay

‘Wayward’ targets high risk youth By Alesha Capone Police in the west have adopted a new approach to working with young offenders who are considered at high risk of re-offending. The Taskforce Wayward initiative involves police proactively engaging with 64 “high risk” youths – such as those who have committed aggravated burglaries and home invasions – from areas including Wyndham, Melton, Brimbank, Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said in the
past, detectives would “simply investigate and arrest”, but the new approach includes officers making sure the youths remain at school and comply with their bail restrictions. “Whilst this is not a new concept for detectives to engage with offenders, it is new for this team,” she said. “Families are embracing this model and are grateful that police are regularly checking in on their kids. “This is clearly having an impact and there have been no home invasions since March in
the areas that Taskforce Wayward looks after.” Wyndham Police Inspector Marty Allison said the Taskforce Wayward project was “fabulous news for the community”. Inspector Allison said Wyndham police also had several programs with young people in place, including a partnership with North Melbourne Football Club’s The Huddle and the Game Changers initiative, which uses sport to introduce youths to skills and careers. Inspector Allison said police also supported the Wyndham Police Citizens Youth Club
(PCYC), in partnership with YSAS Youth Support and Advocacy Service and Australian Trade Training and Assessment. The PCYC aims to engage “at-risk” children aged between 10 to 19, through learning boxing at a Werribee gym. “We also have a terrific relationship with Tarneit Senior Secondary College and Tarneit P-9 College. “All these things add up to engaging with young people and trying to keep them out of crime,” Inspector Allison said.
Plover parents in gender bias A Deakin University study has found that the idea of daddy’s girls and mummy’s boys is alive and well in the animal kingdom. The study of 42 red-capped plovers at Point Cook Coastal Park found that fathers spent more time caring for their daughters while mothers were more attentive to their sons. Lead researcher Daniel Lees said the findings were unique in terms of what was previously known about avian parental care. “Red-capped plovers divide the tasks of raising their chicks between both parents,” Mr Lees said. “But what we noticed in our study is that there’s some inequality in the division of care between parents depending on whether they have daughters or sons.” Researchers are stumped as to why the parents favoured offspring of the opposite sex.

Wyndham council city economy acting director Peter McKinnon said the council had yet to decide if the pop-up park had a future, and was assessing feedback from a survey of nearly 350 traders and the public.
“We’re still in the process of collating the results of this survey, but the initial feedback shows there is overwhelming support for the pop-up park to return in the future in some format,” Mr Mc Kinnon said. “We’ll be taking all of the feedback we have received from business owners and the broader community into consideration before we make a decision on whether the pop-up park will return, and if it does, how the model will be fine-tuned.”
The pop-up park, which ran over five weeks between January and February, attracted more than 10,000 visitors. However, a number of Station Place traders called for the park to be discontinued or relocated, saying the experiment had been bad for business by closing 22 car parks fronting their stores. Meanwhile, the Point Cook Action Group is working hard to try and make their pop-up park at Point Cook Town Centre, along
the Murnong Street restaurant precinct, a permanent feature. The Point Cook park, which ran for the two months following the Werribee installation, was embraced by locals and traders alike, with both Wyndham council and Point Cook Town Centre owners Stockland open to the idea of setting up a permanent pop-up park. Susan McIntyre, a driving force behind the project, said the group had lodged a submission for funding in the council’s next budget.
One man and his tub He’s the Hoppers Crossing bloke riding around Australia with a bathtub to raise money for beyondblue. Michael Willem will ride about 100 kilometres a day and hopes to reach Cape York in far north Queensland by the end of this year as part of his “On my way up” challenge, where he hopes to raise $250,000 along the way. The one-man trip is an integral part of a plan to raise $1 million for beyondblue, which provides information and support to help Australians achieve their best possible mental health. Mr Willem came up with the idea at the end of 2013 when he suffered depression after a marriage break-up and being on the brink of bankruptcy. His depression reared its ugly head again last year after a tough year, giving Mr Willem the push he needed to get on his bike – bathtub and all. “I wish I had a really meaningful answer [to why I’ve got the bathtub], but I don’t,” he said.
“I saw Bear Grylls rode down the Thames naked for charity in a bathtub and I thought, OK, what can I do with a bathtub? It’s a bit of a fundraising novelty. “A few people have ridden around Australia but you’re harder to forget when you’re towing a bathtub around. “It’s also really awesome for storage and, being a photographer, I’m carrying a bit of gear, so that all goes into the tub. I’ve also got a swag that sits on top of the tub … so I just crawl in there at night.” To donate, go to https://give.everydayhero. com/au/onmywayup Charlene Macaulay

Teen jailed for ‘terrifying’ invasion By Alesha Capone A teenager who participated in a “terrifying” Hoppers Crossing home invasion last year in which a home owner was bashed and a car stolen, has been sentenced to almost four years in jail. Ajok Mayen pleaded guilty to four charges, including home invasion, recklessly causing injury, theft and conduct endangering serious injury. At a sentencing hearing in the County Court this month, Judge Michael Tinney said that Mayen, then aged 18 and on bail,
and five others entered the Hoppers Crossing home in April, 2017. The four occupants – the 54-year-old home owner, his wife, a female friend and her baby – were asleep. Judge Tinney said the home owner, who came to Australia as a refugee in 2014, was punched a number of times as the group searched for his car keys. He was held to the ground and punched again as the intruders tried to start a VW car in his garage. After they failed to start the car, they got into a second car at the property and drove away.
That evening, the Victoria Police Air Wing helicopter followed the car as it was driven by Mayen. Judge Tinney said footage from the air wing showed Mayen engaged in “crazy manoeuvres” and “highly dangerous” driving, which forced other motorists to take evasive action. Judge Tinney described the home invasion as “terrifying”. He said it had affected the 54-year-old home owner physically, emotionally and financially. He said the victim felt “vulnerable, isolated and scared”.
But Judge Tinney said he was prepared to accept that Mayen was “remorseful” for his crimes. He said that Mayen had undertaken educational courses since being placed in custody in May last year and that he had a supportive family. Judge Tinney sentenced Mayen to a total of three years and 10 months in prison, which included the 352 days already served in custody. Mayen will be ineligible for parole for two years. Judge Tinney said he expected the other group members to face court proceedings.
Western battleground Black Hawk helicopters are doing high-speed runs over rooftops in Melbourne’s west as part of the army’s urban counter-terrorism training. The Australian Defence Force will conduct exercises during May, including night flights without lights and firing blank ammunition. A Defence spokeswoman said the training would test the skill of army personnel in responding to simulated terrorist scenarios around critical infrastructure. “Residents may see or hear Black Hawk helicopters, military vehicles and soldiers carrying weapons and tactical equipment during the conduct of the exercise,” she said. “Some of the training involves low-flying helicopters, which can generate some unavoidable noise. “Certain parts of the training will also involve the use of blank ammunition and other pyrotechnics.
“This exercise is part of the regular training program and residents should not be concerned if they hear or see these activities occurring.” Local police are involved in the exercises, which aim to provide realistic training in built‐ up areas in the event of a civil emergency. It is understood helicopters will operate out of the Point Cook RAAF base but training specifics aren’t publicised to protect operational tactics, techniques and procedures. Flight routes and activity locations are chosen to minimise noise disturbances, the spokeswoman said. “The ADF thanks the public for their patience and co-operation while this essential training is being conducted,” she said. “The training poses no threat or danger to the public.” Goya Dmytryshchak

TAFE upskills for tunnel crews By Benjamin Millar Victoria University’s TAFE arm will reopen its Werribee East campus as a ‘Technology Precinct’ to train hundreds of workers to work on the West Gate Tunnel. A new partnership with tunnel constructor CPB-John Holland, announced last week, will see VU Polytechnic offer civil construction Certificate II, III and IV courses for trainees and apprentices working on the tollway project. Under the Victorian Major Project Skills
Guarantee, at least 500 of the 6000 jobs on the project will go to apprentices, trainees and recent graduates. Premier Daniel Andrews said construction began earlier this year. “There are already 1200 people working on the West Gate Tunnel – this partnership will make sure that young Victorians get the skills they need to help deliver this massive project,” he said. Roads Minister Luke Donnellan said this will be the first time in four years VU
Polytechnic will be teaching a new course in civil construction. “This is an amazing opportunity for our apprentices and trainees to get practical training and experience that will provide a stepping stone for future employment.” Certificate III in civil construction will be a free course under the state government’s promise to make 30 priority courses free from next year. The government will spend $172 million making 30 priority TAFE courses and 18
Just the job for dads Calling all dads – a new exercise and support program will soon be under way for fathers living and working in Melbourne’s west. Dads are being sought for the roll-out of Working Out Dads, a Tweddle Child and Family Health Service project bringing together fathers of children aged up to four. Project facilitator Scott Hall, who ran the first round of Working Out Dads for almost 60 men across the west, is looking forward to the second round of six weekly sessions. Mr Hall said juggling the family, work and personal needs could be a struggle. “Developing parenting skills and confidence and building positive relationships with your child is something that sets you up for life,” he said. “Working Out Dads approaches being a dad and partner from a practical perspective and offers effective approaches.” The free program features exercise, discussion, handouts and supportive and
encouraging text messages. Program partner the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute is evaluating Working Out Dads by surveying participants, who receive $25 gift cards at the completion of each of three surveys.

Paint the town pink Players from the Werribee Hockey Club are tickled pink to show their support for the Breast Cancer Network Australia. The club’s players will don pink socks during their games on June 2, as part of the network’s Pink Sports Day campaign. BCNA chief executive Kirsten Pilatti said the campaign aimed to support people with breast cancer, their friends and family. She said about 18,235 Australians, including 148 men, would be diagnosed with breast cancer during 2018. “We know that a breast cancer diagnosis doesn’t just affect the person with the disease – it has a ripple effect on their family, friends and wider community,” Ms Pilatti said.
“Sport is at the heart of Australian communities, and is a way for people to come together and celebrate the good times and support each other through the hard times.” The BCNA is calling on all Australian sports clubs to join in the Pink Sports Day campaign. As part of the campaign, clubs are also encouraged to host a sausage sizzle, raffle or other fundraising event. Last year, more than 1000 Australian sports clubs raised $400,000 for BCNA. This year, the network is hoping the campaign will raise $550,000. Details: www.bcna.org.au/pinksportsday Alesha Capone

Waste watchers up to challenge By Charlene Macaulay A group of Wyndham waste watchers has diverted more than two-thirds of household rubbish from the bin as part of a month-long challenge. Wyndham council recruited 10 families to take part in its Waste Watchers program, where the participants are taught to reduce their household waste and improve their recycling by changing their shopping habits, composting, and separating different types of
rubbish and recycling. After four weeks, the families had reduced their rubbish by 68 per cent, and had also reduced the amount thrown in their recycling bins by 33 per cent. Wyndham Vale resident Michelle, who took part in the experiment, said her family had learnt a lot from the program. “The biggest thing I have learnt, and probably the easiest thing every household can instantly change, is to stop putting food waste in the general bin and put them into either the green bin or compost,” she said.
Environment and sustainability portfolio holder Heather Marcus said the project highlighted how a few small changes could lead to a major reduction in the amount of rubbish a household produces. “Key to this success was composting organic food waste through a worm farm or compost bin, recycling soft plastics at their local supermarket and improving their recycling knowledge,” Cr Marcus said. “While we have a lot of challenges to address when it comes to waste and recycling,
educating the community on how they can help will make a huge difference.” The experiment ties in with the council’s waste and litter strategy, which is aimed at diverting 90 per cent of the city’s waste from landfill. Under the strategy, all residential waste wheelie bins will be reduced to 120 litres in the future, while recycling bins will increase in size from 240 litres to 360 litres.

Tarneit Senior College is upping its style stakes. Students from the school’s intermediate VCAL classes have started the VCAL Thrift Shop, in an effort to help reduce textile wastage and raise money for charity. They are encouraging other students and their families to recycle unwanted clothing by donating it to the shop. The fashion items will be available to fellow students to swap for other clothing, for a gold coin donation. Tarneit Senior College VCAL co-ordinator Huy Le said the VCAL students would donate the funds raised through the thrift shop to a yet-to-be-decided charity, most likely one which helps young children.

The Werribee Cup will be the season opener when horse racing returns to Werribee Racecourse later this year. Werribee Racing Club will kick-off its 2018-19 calendar with its most popular meeting on December 9, with more than 6000 people expected to attend. This will be followed by a Christmas Eve race day and five other meetings in the first half of 2019, culminating with a Community Clubs meeting on April 26. Club general manager Ashley Baker said the club was keen to retain its regular race-day themes such as Kids’ Day Out, Ladies Day, the Summer of Racing and Autumn Race Day. “It’s about getting some consistency in the racing calendar,” he said. Mr Baker said road works along Bulban Road, which limited access to the racecourse main entrance for the bulk of the 2017-18 season, would be complete by the end of August, meaning the Bulban Road entrance would be fully operational for season 2018-19. He is encouraging racing enthusiasts to attend this year’s Spring Racing Carnival International Breakfast on November 1. Fans will rub shoulders with the carnival’s leading local and international trainers just days before the Melbourne Cup. Werribee Racing Club cannot hold race meetings between September and mid-November because of quarantine restrictions, with many international horses stabled at the international quarantine centre for the Spring Racing Carnival. Last year, the club’s Vintage Crop Stables housed the Melbourne Cup’s first three horses – winner Rekindling, second-placed Johannes Vermeer and third-placed Max Dynamite.

Waiting for lights switch By Charlene Macaulay Pedestrian lights in Point Cook installed in December last year have yet to be switched on nearly six months later. Wyndham council forked out $250,000 to install the lights at the corner of Dunnings Road and Main Street before Christmas, 2017, to provide a safe crossing point for local school children and the general public. However, the lights are not in use months on and council city operations acting director Shane Walden said it could be another six to eight weeks before they would be operational. “This complex project has been delayed due to various approvals for the works taking longer than expected to obtain,” Mr Walden said. “Council has completed the installation of the traffic lights, including wiring, and we are now awaiting Powercor’s final approval of electrical connections. “Once this is provided, VicRoads will connect the traffic lights to the signal control box.” Point Cook resident Bernard Reilly, who has spent the past six years advocating for lights at this intersection, said he was frustrated by the delay. “It’s a matter of child safety – and they are not addressing it,” Mr Reilly said. “I’m crossing the road with young mothers with prams and babies, and there’s no protection for them – no speed restrictions or anything like that to help, just an open road. “There’s a school at the other end of the park and hundreds of kids that go to the shopping centre.”

Punctuality stats on track Wyndham’s V/Line commuters have enjoyed a month of mostly punctual services, with the Geelong line recording its highest on-time performance in 18 months. Public Transport Victoria (PTV) performance data reveals that 91.5 per cent of Geelong line services – which stop at Tarneit and Wyndham Vale stations – for the month of April reached their destination on time last month, up from an 88.2 per cent punctuality rate in March and 82.2 per cent in January. Of the 2599 services delivered on the Geelong line in April, 68 services were cancelled. On the metropolitan network, 92.1 per cent of trains scheduled for the Werribee Line ran on time. PTV chief executive Jeroen Weimar said he was pleased with the April performance results. “There has been a marked improvement in V/Line services in April with punctuality improvements seen on almost every line,” he said. Last month, Wyndham mayor Peter Maynard called on the federal government to fast-track funding to upgrade the Melbourne-Geelong train line. “Improving the rail capacity on the Melbourne-Geelong line is an excellent opportunity to build new rail stations in Wyndham and to leverage this infrastructure to provide services and amenities,” he said.

My wife Wendy and I bought a home in Hoppers Crossing in late 2000 and six months ago we bought in Riverwalk/Werribee. We love the open area on this western side of Melbourne, it’s become my favourite training ground, getting away from street traffic in minutes, and I love riding out to the You Yangs, Geelong and the Brisbane ranges. I ride roughly 30,000 kilometres a year and regularly ride for my commute to work in the city, doing 40 kilometres each way. I then ride with my friends on weekends. We meet at South Corner Cafe in Werribee at 7am or 7.30am on Saturdays and ride about 80-100 kilometres and return back for coffee and food. Did you ever think you would reach the milestone of competing in 30 Ironman Australia events? Yes, the next goal is 35 years, 40, 45 and hopefully 50. I have done other Ironman races around the world, such as Hawaii (the World Championships), New Zealand. I have completed over 50 Ironmans over the years. In 2005, I broke my arm and the radial nerve was damaged. It was basically a dead arm, so I swam 3.9 kilometres with one arm and had the crowd cheering me – plus all the lifesavers escorting me – to get to the finish. I just made the cut-off time of two hours. The 180 kilometre bike section of the event was my biggest worry. But once I got
into the run, which was 42 kilometres, I was comfortable. I even slowed down to help another female competitor who was suffering from dehydration for half of the marathon run. The race was important to me, as it was my daughter Abbi’s 13th birthday on the day and my personal race number is 13. What do you enjoy most about Ironman events? Apart from loving to race and pushing to my limits, I get greater pleasure from catching up with other competitors as they are like family to me, who I see every year and catch up for dinner and drinks, and also out on the course supporting each other. This year a Spanish competitor needed a bike to do the race. I loaned him my spare training bike and showed him around the course. We have become good friends and he wants to invite me to the Rotary of Las Palmas from the Canary Islands. What inspired you to first get involved with the Ironman competitions? (Ivan Sajko, Port Macquarie News)
How long have you lived in Werribee?
In my teen years I played table tennis at competitive state level juniors. I began to do running and loved it. March 26, 1988 was my first Ironman Distance race, I started to do triathlons in late 1986 and quickly learned that I enjoyed longer races. In mid-February ’87, I did my first Half Ironman in Ballarat and I was hooked doing long endurance events.

The proposed shopping centre in Hoppers Crossing should include a multi-purpose hall for community use. This, and other suggestions to ensure that the centre has adequate facilities, have been proposed by Mr. Colin Hammond, of Derrimut Road, Hoppers Crossing.
Hysterical motorists and a blood drenched road was the horrific scene along the Princes Hwy near Laverton last Wednesday after a 58-year-old Altona man was run over by several cars in the Geelong-bound lanes. Screaming witnesses sobbed during their frantic and futile efforts to stop heavy traffic from careering over the man’s body about 11.45am as it lay in the middle lane of the highway.
This gaping chasm is what’s helping turn the Werribee River into a muddy backwater. Soil from the massive landslip of Bald Hill, 35 kilometres from Werribee at near Bacchus Marsh, has been washing into the river for several years.
A state government safety audit has ranked Wyndham’s three level crossings among Victoria’s 20 most dangerous. The two-year Australian Level Crossings Assessment Model study of the state’s 1872 crossings provides a ranking according to nationally agreed safety criteria.

Army marches out its firepower The Australian Army last week displayed its extensive firepower capability during Exercise Chong Ju held at the Combined Armed Training Centre in Puckapunyal, Victoria. The Army’s Commander of Forces, Command Major General Gus McLachlan, said the exercise demonstrated the joint power of the Army’s latest technology and capability. “Exercise Chong Ju has featured some of Army’s newest weapons, vehicles and combat systems for the first time,” Major General McLachlan said. “This included a static display of the Land 400 CRV Boxer, the Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter, Protected Mobility Light-Hawkei Vehicle and unmanned aerial systems “Exercise Chong Ju is the Army’s largest firepower demonstration and provides our soldiers with an opportunity to train in and experience a live fire setting, ensuring our soldiers are always prepared for combat operations. “Army is evolving to ensure we are adapting with technology and drawing from the intellectual talent of our people to continually build and harness a powerful land force, always ready to defend Australia and its national interests.” The exercise also included the M1A1 Abrams tank, ASLAV Australian Light Armoured Vehicle, M113 armoured personnel carriers, 81mm mortars and M777 155mm howitzer artillery piece, the Soldier Combat Ensemble, and Battle Management Systems. Exercise Chong Ju is named after a battle in North Korea in 1950, when the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, supported by tanks and artillery, attacked and captured a large North Korean defensive line during their northward advance to the Yalu River.

As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au
FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? BM: After living for years with footballers and close mates, I did rate my cooking skills quite highly. But since marrying an Italian, it’s fair to say I’m hopeless. FB: What is your signature dish? BM: Steak and three veg. Basic, but done well. FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? BM: Entree – fresh seafood platter with crumbed calamari. Main – medium-rare eye fillet with a garlic sauce and cooked tiger prawns; surf ’n’ turf. Dessert - home-made apple pie with Oreo ice-cream. FB: What is your favourite TV food show and who is your favourite TV food person? BM: I’ve religiously watched MasterChef for about eight years and was also lucky enough to coach the 2014 winner Brent Owens in 2016 (managed the one senior game). I get into the cooking shows MKR and MasterChef. MasterChef FB: What is your favourite food? BM: My favourite food is probably chocolate. I can comfortably eat a whole family block during a movie. FB: What is your favourite drink? BM: Non-alcoholic is coffee. I didn’t drink it until I was 24 or so. Now I’m addicted. Johnnie Walker Blue Label, plenty of ice and a dash of Coke while watching the footy is perfect. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? BM: Lebron James – my sporting idol. Will Ferrell – funniest man alive. Mila Kunis – my hall pass. Nelson Mandela – legend. Deborra-lee Furness – inspirational leader in adoption. FB: Do you you have a kitchen tip for us?

My favourite foodie memory stretches back to 1990, during my first ever overseas trip. I ate clam chowder at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. I remember clearly the sounds and the smells that surrounded me on that chilly, cloudy day, the squawk of hungry birds and the exciting bustle of activity around me. The soup was warming and delicious and sublime. I have never tasted anything like it since – and I know I never will. My hubby has two favourite nostalgic food memories – fish and chips on the beach at Williamstown and battered hot dogs on sticks at the Brisbane show. He calls them Pluto Pups; I remember them as Dagwood Dogs. They remind me of my childhood outings to the annual Korumburra Rodeo! Is there a particular food or drink that evoke for you fond memories of another place and another time? I’d love to hear about them.

I read the loveliest article the other day, about the food tastes and smells that bring the past back to life. Charles Purcell, in The Age’s Sunday Life magazine, recalled how Violet Crumbles take him right back to his youth in the ’70s and ’80s, sending him into a world of the Polly Waffle, the Chokito, BMX riding, Super Mario and picnics at the beach.

oppers Crossing Secondary College, principal Keith Halge is proud to announce that the school was the fifth most-improved in Victoria in VCE median study scores last year. The college has experienced a jump from 25 to 29 in the past five years. But while pleased, Mr Halge says the college has no intention of standing still. “The theme the college has taken on this year is: ‘The bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity for growth’,” he says. “It is evident that the staff and students are not slowing down. “The college promotes a culture of improvement, where students are encouraged to strive for their best and use feedback to progress academically.
“We understand that not every day is going to be a student’s best day, but with our improvement policy, every student who submits a task can seek feedback and work towards improving their results. This builds a child’s confidence in their own learning and resilience when faced with a challenging task.” He explains that a collaborative and differentiated focus in classrooms aims to maximise student learning. The individual abilities of each student are recognised and provided for in lesson planning and implementation to allow students to achieve their best. In working with their peers, they are better able to solve problems and learn from different perspectives. Valuing its links within the community, the college has students participating this year in
the Youth Partnership Forum with the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, regarding liveability issues in their community. “Students are able to take up opportunities such as this to improve their community engagement and local and global leadership skills,” Mr Halge says. “Ongoing programs such as Student Representative Council, School for Student Leadership and an established annual Overseas Learning Experiences to China, Italy and North America provide challenges that lead to the personal and academic growth of our students.” A passion for performing arts is also evident among the students at Hoppers Crossing.

Thomas Carr College for a lifetime of learning. “From a broad-based curriculum in years 7 and 8, to a comprehensive range of VCE, VET and VCAL courses, the college’s range of programs will support all students in their future endeavours.” Each year, one class of Year 7 students will be selected to embark on a six-year accelerate learning program called the Magis Program. The Magis Program is designed to enhance intellectual potential and development. Accelerated courses involve a combination of a faster paced curriculum and more complex and abstract material which encourages students to further develop their capacity for higher level thinking. In the past four years, Thomas Carr College has invested in the future of students, committing $22 million for capital development
projects to take place over 10 years. The recently completed Stage 3 achieved the doubling in size of the Father Tobin Gymnasium to include two full-sized basketball courts with retractable tier seating to provide for a show court; refurbished changerooms and a new dedicated weights room; along with the refurbishment of the Father Ray Administration Centre. A state-of-the-art Performing Arts Centre was also completed in 2017. The Father Moran Performing Arts Centre features a 500-seat auditorium, together with the production equipment, lighting and sound, drama and music rooms and a recording studio. The college has commenced Stage IV of its 10 Year Master Building Plan. This includes building a new Senior School and refurbishing the first classroom building, which was
constructed in 1996. The new VCE Centre will incorporate 30 general-purpose learning areas, a student commons and lecture theatre, along with various meeting rooms and staff offices. The project will include the refurbishment of the materials technology areas, providing cutting edge facilities for both textiles and wood technology. A new design and STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) studio will also be part of the project. The project awaits council approval and it is anticipated that construction will start early next year. Thomas Carr College, 35 Thomas Carr Drive, Tarneit.

ssistant principal Connie Faranda says Wyndham Central College’s mission is to prepare students for success post-year 12, with a clear aim of supporting students to achieve success – at school and in society. “Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) provides teachers and students with a tool kit of best teaching and learning practises” Ms Faranda says. “The program explicitly teaches students the Education State high impact strategies, for example to think critically and develop their reading and writing skills.” “AVID is a research-based instructional model for effective teaching which accelerates student learning. It’s designed to increase school-wide learning and performance and provide students with the skills and confidence to be active global citizens.” She says that since introducing AVID at the college in 2013, they’ve seen exceptional success. “There’s been an improvement in all areas of teaching and learning and in VCE results. AVID’s success has seen Wyndham Central become the first secondary college in Australia to be awarded AVID Certification – achieving the status of a Highly Certified AVID School. “At all year levels, AVID is aimed at explicitly teaching skills and strategies that will support and enhance student learning at secondary school. These skills and strategies can be used in post-secondary studies and beyond.” AVID is underpinned by the WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organisation and Reading) teaching model. All elements of WICOR are incorporated into lesson plans to support students to actively participate in their learning and gain the skills and tools to be lifelong learners. AVID is taught by AVID-trained teachers in all classes from year 7-12. Year 9-12 students, who wish to extend their rigor and who are willing to work hard and actively show determination to succeed, are
eligible for additional support through AVID Tutorology as an elective. “In the AVID elective, our partnership with Victoria University enables tertiary students to facilitate small group tutorials, supporting our students to expand their knowledge and understanding of rigorous
concepts,” Ms Faranda says. “Statistics show that students who undertake the AVID method for three or more years have tripled their success rate of entering and completing a university program. “Resolving problems, thriving on discussion and helping passive learners become active and
independent learners, with a set of skills to be lifelong learners, are all part of the AVID program.” Wyndham Central College, 101 Shaws Road, Werribee. Inquiries: 9741 4911 or visit wyndhamcentralsc.vic.edu.au

MacKillop College Our Vision
‘Celebrating all life. Challenging all people. Dreaming the new day.’ This is MacKillop College’s vision for its community, thereby supporting teachers in their continual growth and enabling students to realise their potential.
Our Learning Environments
(Supplied)
For this purpose, our College offers a comprehensive and balanced curriculum that incorporates active learning within a positive, dynamic and adaptive environment in which enquiry and a creative exploration of ideas is encouraged. We have outstanding facilities, with beautifully maintained gardens, sporting fields and recreational areas. Our contemporary learning strategies are supported by extensive digital infrastructure in all classrooms, along with a dedicated ICCT centre. There is also extensive support for students who experience learning difficulties, and well-established successful policies and protocols enhancing student wellbeing. And our Chapel and the ‘La Merci’ Centre honour our innovative and contemporary learning environments with open classroom spaces.
Internationalising
As part of our comprehensive curriculum, we offer French, Japanese and Italian. Our international programs extend this collaboration of culture and language beyond the classroom; students have the opportunity to travel abroad to France, Italy and Japan, living in homestays with host families and engaging in cultural immersion programs at host schools. This is then reciprocated at our College with homestays for international students throughout the year. International students can engage in our curriculum at any year level, including completing VCE or VCAL over two or three years.
Faith and Culture
‘You are the light of the world’ was one of the key themes explored by Bishop Terry Curtain at MacKillop College’s Opening Year Mass celebrated on Thursday, February 8, and this has set the tone for our school year. As a community, the Bishop challenged us to use our skills to be the best people we can be, and to reach out to others to make a difference in the world in the example set by Mary MacKillop.
To raise whole school awareness of our faith and culture we display symbols and artworks throughout our College buildings. We are a multicultural education setting, respecting the dignity of all who become part of the community. We endeavour to listen to our community and respond with an open heart. Part of this response is to conduct whole school student-led assemblies, parent information evenings and College liturgies where our students and teachers acknowledge our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
Our intent as a College is to develop the whole person, to enable them to become responsive global citizens. MacKillop College invites you to our Open Day, on Thursday, November 15, between 2pm and 6pm, with a final tour commencing at 5.15pm. Contact the College Registrar for further information.

ood News Lutheran College, a vibrant co-educational Christian College is advancing towards International Baccalaureate candidacy. Principal Simon Hughes says the College, which caters for students from Prep to Year 12, has a proud history, having started with just 24 students in 1997. “The College now has 950 students and more than 100 staff members encompassing teachers and an extensive panel of learning aides,” he says. “Building sites and workmen’s sheds were, for a time, commonplace at the Tarneit educational facility while it grew from strength to strength.” The construction of a double-storey 11-classroom specialist middle school building and a double-storey 21-classroom senior school building means the College’s growing population is well catered for. The College places equal importance on diverse, high-quality tuition and development of the whole individual, with character growth among the most valued outcomes. “The pastoral team facilitates weekly chapel services that help the students reflect on the ‘value’ of the week,” Mr Hughes says. “We also offer strong pastoral care in line with the Christian faith that underpins our every decision.” The College has become known for its innovative and progressive educational methods. The Information and Communications Technology Department is just one area in which innovation is practised, with students introduced to modern technological methods at an early age. Technology has a ratio of 1.5 devices for every student. These include university-level design desktops, Window Surfaces, iPads and laptops.

EDUCATION
Teachers still tops in the robot age When experts met last year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, there was general agreement that the world is about to experience what is being dubbed the Fourth Industrial Revolution. They discussed predictions that this next stage in society’s development will be all about artificial intelligence, or robots, taking the place of humans at work. Education International (EI) general secretary Fred van Leeuwen was in Davos for the summit. He says he couldn’t help but question what a robot-run world would mean for creating jobs for humans, especially in the field of education. “The educator of the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Wishful thinking of some education businesses, but highly unlikely,” he says. “Robots and new technology are increasingly deployed to help educators improve teaching and learning – but nothing can replace a teacher.” Technology is a reality in today’s classrooms and much of the talk and excitement in Davos was focused on the next industrial revolution. But experts agreed the key to quality education remained living, breathing classroom teachers – despite all the digital hype. Discussions around the oft-used term “21st Century Learning” led to a conclusion that it can fail to acknowledge the most important part of quality learning – the teaching profession. Education International says that “21st

Century Learning” puts the emphasis on technological innovation over pedagogical practice that includes critical thinking, creativity and logic. “When it comes to the use of information communication technologies (ICTs), EI fully supports their inclusion in the classroom to enhance the quality of education in line with curriculum requirements,” van Leeuwen continues. “However, ICTs should never replace the relationship between the learner and teacher – and all teachers should be properly trained and consulted on their use.” Carole Levy

New research reveals property vendors admit they find it difficult choosing the right real estate agent, with four in five home owners revealing they would like industry-set criteria to help them choose the best real estate agent. LocalAgentFinder.com.au chief executive Matt McCann said: “The findings come from a nationally representative, independent survey of Australian home owners commissioned by our company. “According to the findings, 73 per cent of Aussie home owners believe choosing a suitable real estate agent is ‘hit and miss’ – that you can never be sure you have found the right one.” Survey results showed that of respondents who have sold property, 41 per cent admitted it took them more than two weeks to choose a suitable real estate agent – that includes the search, calls, meetings and interviews before making the choice. The most common factor vendors search for (29 per cent of respondents) is a good track record of sales success – in price achieved and days on market. Local knowledge and local sales experience was the second most common factor (for 17 per cent of respondents); followed by lower commission (16 per cent). Surprisingly, the number of years’ experience of an agent did not rate highly, nor did a low or no marketing budget, with 0.8 per cent and 2 per cent choosing this as the number one factor, respectively. Older generations more than younger age groups rated trustworthiness as important – 20 per cent of people in their 50s and 16 per cent over-60s, versus 7 per cent of those in their 20s, and 10 per cent of people in their 30s. Lower commission was the number one

Take the hit and miss out of chosing the right agent for you
reason cited by 21 per cent of people aged in their 40s, the highest of any age group, versus 10 per cent of over-60s. “While the perception is that vendors focus on fees and commissions, our results
show that commission is not as important as an agent with a good track record of sales success and strong local knowledge and experience,” Mr McCann said. “Home owners looking for the right agent
to sell their home should ask the right questions. “A good agent, for example, should be able to demonstrate how they will achieve the best price for the property.”

‘Newington’, a circa 1860s build and the personal home of famed local stonemason James Brierley, was built to last, with triple brick stone foundations and massive stone lintels ensuring its foundations are as solid as its timeless appeal. Set on about 670 square metres,

ensures the most fastidious buyer will be pleased with the result, while enjoying the option to further capitalise on the spaces within. A grand entryway has its original restored Baltic pine floorboards and leads to an enormous living space filled with natural light.
Exposed brick set against soaring timber-lined and downlit ceilings and a large fireplace with timber surround, create that often sought but rarely perfected blend of urban and traditional style. The kitchen is a standout. The original oven cavity has been stripped and restored and a 900mm Smeg oven set within. Other Smeg appliances include a dishwasher, convection double-grill microwave and two-door fridge plumbed for ice making. Custom-built cabinets beneath a huge natural granite slab complements the decor. The cleverly concealed butler’s pantry is fitted with open shelves and prep benches. Downstairs, there is study space and two separate living spaces – the formal dining room replete with chandeliers and sheer and blackout curtains, and the original parlour with beautiful stained glass windows, Baltic pine floorboards and cosy fireplace, both formally used as a business front for more than 40 years. There are four bedrooms upstairs, all with built-in robes; two with walk-in robes and the main bedroom with an en suite, restored fireplace flanked by built-in wardrobes. The bathrooms are stylish and generously proportioned and designed to luxury hotel standards. Rear access from Rosalind Street enables easy driving access to the former stables at the rear of the property and allows for future duplex development with concept drawings available (STCA).

Specialising in the leasing and management of residential homes. Meral Kantarcioglu enjoys a loyal clientele thanks to her no-nonsense and caring way of running Sprint Property, which she started 10 years ago. The popular property manager thoroughly screens all renters and manages the up-keep of properties thanks to her trusted contact list of contractors, with whom she has built strong relationships over the years. “When we started our office was tiny, but after a year I built what they call your ‘rental roll’ up from scratch,” Meral says. “It grew quickly thanks to referrals and testimonials and I have never looked back. Today I have three staff, with a combined 50 years experience, as well as myself, we work as a team and treat each property like our own. The point of difference with our Agency is that our client’s receive personalized service from us. One of many happy and long-term clients is Ann Scott, a Tasmanian-based client who purchased an investment property and called on Meral for management duties. “Being interstate meant that I had to put my trust in the management team,” Ann says. “Right from the start, the house has been in good hands. “It has been wonderful having someone local who has the skills and confidence to oversee my investment. “All the tenants have been well screened and reliable. The house has been let constantly and kept in excellent condition. “Assistance in sourcing contractors for the fence and garden, and the conveyancing team, were invaluable, making the sale process very smooth and stress-free for me.” Meral has kept Sprint Property a compact operation to make sure her service is the best in the west. “Because we focus specifically on residential leasing and management, we are true specialists in our field,” she says. “I am proud to say, my clients all stay with me for the entirety of their investment cycle because they trust me and the service my team and I provide.”

Glaister Legal Proposed planning changes to surplus government land The Government Land Planning Service received a request to change the planning provisions at the following site owned by Southern Rural Water:
Property Law and Conveyancing - Companies, Trusts and Commercial Transactions - Wills, Powers of Attorney and Estates - Litigation and Dispute Resolution
Draft changes to the planning scheme provisions have been prepared to reflect that part of this site is no longer required for public purpose and to facilitate its sale. The Minister for Planning, the Hon Richard Wynne MP, has referred the proposed changes to the Government Land Standing Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee) for advice. You can make a submission to the Advisory Committee about the proposed planning scheme provisions.

VFL veteran marks 100 games By Lance Jenkinson Andrew Hooper’s 100th senior VFL game ended in defeat, but he will cherish the day nevertheless. Werribee mounted a spirited comeback against a star-studded Footscray at Avalon Airport Oval on Sunday, kicking the last eight goals of the game, only to fall short by eight points. Hooper was disappointed not to sing the club song on his big day, but was still immensely proud of the milestone. “It’s a great honour to play 100 senior VFL games,” Hooper said. “I would’ve loved to have played 100 AFL games, but VFL is the next highest standard of football. “I knew I was close, so I’m grateful for Werribee to take me on with North Ballarat being eliminated from the competition.” Hooper’s 100 has come at three different clubs. The electrifying small forward wanted to keep playing at the highest level possible after he was delisted by AFL club Western Bulldogs, where he managed seven games at top level, including debuting and having a big impact in a semi final win over the Sydney Swans at the MCG. Hooper’s first foray in VFL football came with Williamstown and he then went on to become a fan favourite at North Ballarat before they left the VFL last season. The 27-year-old was not ready to step back into local football and picked up a contract with Werribee for its first year back as a standalone side. “What makes travelling [from Ross Creek, just outside of Ballarat] three times a week worth it is the football club and the people around the club,” Hooper said. “The support we’ve got down there at Werribee is absolutely unbelievable. “It’s not just the coaches, the support staff and all that, you’ve got the fans who come out each week to support us and they’re absolutely fantastic.” Hooper is one of the most experienced players on the Werribee list. He does not have an official leadership

tag, but he takes on the role anyway. “We’ve got a great leadership group, the five or six boys in there, but I find that you don’t have to be captain or vice captain or be in the leadership group to show your leadership,” Hooper said. “Coming to a new club, I wanted to play football, but also lead by example and try and guide the younger boys.” Werribee was made to pay the price for switching off in the third quarter against Footscray.
Footscray took advantage, kicking five unanswered goals in 15 minutes for a 58-point lead midway through the third term. While Werribee showed great spirit on the back of an eight-goal spree of its own, the damage had been done. Inconsistency from quarter to quarter is a by-product of a young team still finding its feet, but Hooper is confident the trend can be arrested before too long. “If we can cut out our differences
between our good and bad and close that gap, it’s going to go a long way,” he said. “It’s a young group and when it was put on us [at three-quarter time] of having that last say in the game and putting that last quarter together to see what we can do, we really played to our structure and our plan. “It shouldn’t take that to get us going, you’ve got to do that from the first quarter.” Werribee (1-5) has a crucial game away to Sandringham Zebras (2-4) at Trevor Barker Oval on Sunday.

SPORT Road defeat a blow for Werribee City Bees have been showing promise. They have won three of their past five matches and the two losses in that time have come by narrow one-goal margins. If Werribee City wants to remain in the promotion hunt, it will need to keep up that positive form. The Bees have a tough assignment this Saturday, travelling to play east conference team Eastern Lions at Gardiners Creek Reserve in Burwood. In men’s state league 1, Hoppers Crossing had a disappointing 2-1 home loss to Clifton Hill at Grange Reserve. Jason Hayne scored for the Reds, but it was not enough. It leaves the Reds way down in third-last spot on the ladder and facing a tough clash with second-placed North Sunshine Eagles away at Larissa Reserve this Saturday.
In men’s state league 3, Point Cook had a solid result on the road, drawing 0-0 with second-placed Upfield at Gibb Reserve. In men’s state league 4, Truganina Hornets are starting to look shaky, having gone four weeks without a win and losing two straight. The Hornets went down 3-1 to Balmoral at Balmoral Park on Saturday night. In men’s state league 5, West Point was far too good for Kensington City, triumphing 4-0. In women’s state league 2, Hoppers Crossing’s stellar form continued with a fifth straight win. The Reds kept a fourth clean sheet in a row in Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Ballarat Eureka Strikers. Julia Budiongo-Batota and Mya Moran struck goals for the Reds in the second half to keep the winning streak alive. Lance Jenkinson
Devils finally on a roll By Lance Jenkinson A new brand of Werribee Devils outfit is emerging into public view in Big V Basketball women’s division 1. It took longer than Devils first-year coach Reece Potter would have wanted, but the gameplan has officially evolved from a training court vision to second nature in the heat of battle. With new systems to embed and a stack of new personnel, it was always going to take time. But now the Devils’ bleak start to the season is turning into a winter promise. Werribee is now one of the hottest teams in the league, having won four of its past five matches, including a 99-60 mauling of Warrandyte Venom at Eagle Stadium on Sunday. The worries of a 1-5 start are in the rear view mirror and the Devils are starting to look like a fearsome team. “In reviewing what the team was like last year when I took over the job, it was very reliant on two or three people to do all the scoring,” Potter said. “We’ve tried to go more by committee this year. “It took a while at the start to get everyone on the same page, but the past month we’ve played some really good basketball.” For the new style of Werribee play to be successful, egos have to be pushed aside. So far, there has been a universal buy-in, as the case of Jessy Price illustrates. Price was unlucky to miss nearly a month of basketball through injury, but when she returned, she was installed in the unusual role of impact player off the bench. Price was a star for the Devils last year, earning all-star five selection, but her value so far this season has been as first player off the bench. While Potter is not sure how long Price will continue to come off the bench, he is delighted with how it’s working for the team and how Price has embraced it. “For us to bring in a player that was all-star five last year off the bench, it adds something that most other teams aren’t doing,” Potter said. “It’s been really good to have a level head and someone who can come in and score and contribute at both ends of the floor.” Import Alyssa Bennett is beginning to find her feet at Werribee – an ominous sign for opposition coaches. Bennett was magnificent for the Devils against the Venom, piling on a season-high 29 points and equal season high 19 rebounds. “She took a while to get going and build confidence with the team, but she’s got all the physical and technical attributes,” Potter said. “She hadn’t played a lot in the last two years before coming here. I told her to be more 78 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 23, 2018
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ The feedback on the future of representative football was interesting following last week’s column, and to a degree the result of the games against Ovens and Murray. The under-19s had a good win but the seniors were outclassed by 76 points. Josh Mould from Wyndham Vale won the medal in the under-19 side. I think senior interleague is done, a view supported by many. Maybe it should continue as an under-21 or 23 competition, but it seems time to make that change. Whatever money is being spent in this program would be better used on up-and-coming players. There was also the issue of some clubs not being 100 per cent behind the game. Clubs invest a lot of money in players to play for their club … end of story. If it is to remain as an open-age game then at the very least it must go to every second year and all suburban competitions have to be involved. ■ Kingsville YMCA is another club from the past that is revisiting its history with a reunion in July. The maroon and whites had a short but eventful time in the FDFL, producing league players in Michael Egan (128 games, 12 goals), Lee Perussich (45 games, 12 goals) and Glen Sampson (6 Games, one goal). In 1981 they merged with Brooklyn to form Wembley Park. Brendan Curry was a driving force behind Wembley Park before embarking on a very successful stint with the Williamstown Football Club. The reunion is at the Footscray Yarraville Bowls Club on Friday, July 20 from 6.30pm. Details from Cuz (Brendan) on 0409 857 308 or Ron Bongetti 0425 782 575. ■ The racing industry seems to go from one crisis to another and is still riding out the fallout from the Robert Smerdon saga. The good news is the sport continues and this Friday Werribee hosts a transferred meeting from Seymour. This is a bonus for racing fans with free admittance and a bonus meeting for members. ■ Last Friday night in Adelaide was horrific as a spectacle, and seven days later the Bulldogs will be under the roof at Etihad Stadium in totally pristine conditions. Different eras provide different challenges but you have to say the players of old were much better wet weather players. As a spectator I will take games under the roof any day of the week and I am sure so will the players.

aggressive and take the game on and she’s really stepped up and done that.” Georgia Tauschke was the other key acquisition for Werribee. Taushke is a home-grown product, but left to play for Geelong in the SEABL competition. “She puts a lot of pressure on herself to perform and do well, and she trains the house down,” Potter said. “She’s got some reward over
the past month with some big games. She’s tough, she plays her role and leads by example.” Werribee is still a team at the crossroads, sitting seventh with a 5-6 record. The Devils can square the ledger with a win over Latrobe City Energy at Eagle Stadium on Saturday night. Reaching a .500 record would be a significant milestone in the Devils’ season.

Werribee City has missed out on a chance to break into the National Premier League 2 west soccer upper echelon. Starting the weekend in fourth spot, the Bees had their sights set on joining the three breakaway teams at or near the top of the table. But the Bees failed in their quest to bridge the gap, losing 1-0 to North Geelong Warriors on the road at Elcho Park on Saturday. A goal from the penalty spot through Darius Madison in the 73rd minute secured all three points for the Warriors. The Bees were not helped by going down to 10 men in the 37th minute after Samuel McCall was given a red card for a crude tackle. The result sent Werribee City tumbling to mid-table sixth, with even more ground to make up on the leading teams. Despite the opportunity lost, the Sergio Sabbadini-coached

Plapp on track for standout year By Lance Jenkinson Luke Plapp has been a revelation on the bike this season. The up-and-coming track and road cycling star from Maribyrnong has surprised even himself with his results this campaign. Plapp went into the year on the back of the best training program of his short career, but he did not envisage that it would lead to the kind of races he would go on to win. The 17-year-old’s first big race win came on the road in the national under-19 individual time trial at Buninyong. He followed it up with first in the scratch race, teams pursuit and madison on the track in the nationals in Brisbane. In March, he took out the under-19 Oceania time trial in Tasmania. Plapp suddenly went from the gutsy also-ran to a feared competitor overnight. “I seriously didn’t expect anything for 2018,” Plapp said. “All throughout my junior career, under-15 and under-17, I never had the results or made the Victorian teams. “I was always the person just missing out. “I went into the year not really a favourite for any races.” Once Plapp had a taste of glory, it became an addiction. It spurred him on to prepare better and train harder in his pursuit of a breakout season. Suddenly the three hours on the road every day, the one track session, three gym sessions and discipline away from the bike is paying off.
Cycling rising star Luke Plapp has the world in his sights in 2018. (Damjan Janevski)
“When I got the first result in January, it was a real shock, but I was really pleased that all the hard work and training paid off,” Plapp said. “From that, I just sort of believed and it kept spiralling from there, getting better and better. “This is my last year in juniors and next year you move up into the seniors, so if you get results now, you’re going to get big offers from teams next year in seniors.
“It’s your quickest way to get your foot in the door as such.” Plapp’s rewards will come later in the year. The Maribyrnong College student has been selected to represent Australia in the men’s endurance category at the UCI Junior Track World Championships in Switzerland in August. He will spend time training with pro teams in Spain before jetting to Austria for the
Road World Championships, where he will ride for Australia in the under-19 time trial and road race. In all, Plapp will spend almost four months in Europe. The Brunswick Cycling Club member is preparing for the trip with the guidance of Australian Institute of Sport coaches Shane Kelly and Matthew Gilmore. “It’s going to be such an awesome experience,” Plapp said. “It’s going to be tough, it’s going to be full-time cycling and just training flat out, but I’m really looking forward to it. “I know if it all pays off, it’s going to pay off hugely and could define my career.” Plapp is not going to make up the numbers either. He is particularly focused on winning the time trial in Austria. “My main goal is the road in Austria and that’s what I’m training for,” Plapp said. “In my head, I’m going over there to win it, and that’s my goal.” Plapp’s ultimate dream is to compete for Australia at an Olympic Games and earn a pro tour contract. Plapp is the May nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star Award. The award, hosted by Sunshine Western Region Sports Club and Star Weekly, recognises young athletes from the western suburbs who have achieved at state and/or national levels. Plapp will receive $1000, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, and other prizes to help him achieve his sporting goals.
A’s, Tigers on fire as the WRFL season unfolds The interleague break provided an opportunity for most players and coaches in the Western Region Football League division 1 to take a breather and reflect on the opening five weeks of the season. Trends have emerged for all clubs. Some will be jostling for finals positions and others may be looking at a relegation battle. Lance Jenkinson takes a look at how the top flight clubs are travelling. Altona (first, 5-0) – Premiership threat: It was supposed to be a daunting opening five weeks for Altona. But the A’s have passed all the tests with flying colours. They are undefeated and genuine premiership contenders. Saade Ghazi’s team has already beaten both of last year’s grand finalists away from home. Werribee Districts (second, 5-0) – Perfect start: You can only beat the teams that are put in front of you and that is exactly what Werribee Districts has done. Tougher tests await the Tigers, but their five-game win streak has been impressive. The Chris Gilham-coached Tigers are two games clear of the rest of the competition, along with Altona. Deer Park (third, 3-2) – Trending up: Chasing his sixth flag in succession, Deer Park coach Marc Bullen flagged that this season’s premiership would be the toughest to obtain. That has proven the case so far as the Lions stuttered out of the blocks, losing two of their opening three games. But mammoth victories over Albion and Sunshine are positive signs. Hoppers Crossing (fourth, 3-2) – Finals contender: Nobody knew what to expect from Hoppers Crossing after some key off season departures were compounded by a terrible pre-season injury toll. What we got from Steve Kretiuk’s men in the opening five rounds was an ultra-competitive side that will not back down from any challenge. Could have been 4-1 had it not been for a heartbreaking one-point loss to Werribee Districts before the break. Spotswood (fifth, 3-2) – In the mix: A developing group that is supposed to be 12 to 24 months from premiership contention, but so far Spotswood has hardly put a foot wrong against the powerhouse sides. The Anthony Eames-coached Woodsmen have beaten both

of last year’s grand finalists, Deer Park and Sunshine, and were pipped by a single point against Altona. Could be dangerous if they can reach the finals. St Albans (sixth, 2-3) – Early letdown: Two wins from the opening five rounds is not what new coach Brad Murphy would have envisaged, but there was a lot of change at Kings Park Reserve. After an impressive showing in a 22-point loss to Altona last start, let’s wait to judge the Saints in three weeks’ time after they have played Deer Park, Spotswood and Sunshine. Albion (seventh, 2-3) – Long way off: A rough start to the season for Albion was masked by the four points it received in the opening game when Caroline Springs exceeded the points cap.
The Cats only victory on the park came against struggler Wyndhamvale, but the bonus four points has them with two wins and just a game and percentage outside the finals spots. Chris O’Keefe’s team will need to pick it up after the break, otherwise it will be on the receiving end of more big losses. Caroline Springs (eighth, 1-4) – Time to deliver: After five long and painful weeks, Caroline Springs broke through for a win over Wyndhamvale before the break. Could have had two wins, but had to cough up the four points from their victory over Albion for exceeding the points cap. The Lakers are young and integrating some big recruits, but most supporters expected a better start and will be demanding more from their side from this week onwards.
Sunshine (ninth, 1-4) – One-hit wonders? Sunshine was so close to being premier last season, losing in the dying seconds of the grand final to Deer Park. Most expected the Kangaroos to be near the top of the ladder and challenging again this season, but they have endured a nightmare start. The Roos must start afresh after the break and show the league what they are capable of. Wyndhamvale (10th, 0-5) – Cellar dwellers: The rebuilding Wyndhamvale has shown glimpses of good – but a quarter here and there is not going to get the Falcons singing the club song. They need some genuine four-quarter efforts to break through. The Falcons should be fired up for games against fellow Wyndham clubs Werribee Districts and Hoppers Crossing in the next two weeks. 79 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ MAY 23, 2018

Sonata big on street presence By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring
AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE
Out of Hyundai’s design centre in Irvine, California, a new shape is aimed at giving the sedan more street presence. It has the company’s signature cascading grille like that on the latest i30 and new Kona, with a chiselled air dam and sleek new headlights venturing into the front guards. Vertical daytime running lights add to a more dynamic appearance, while a more assertive side view and a completely re-worked tail end feature a clean boot design and slimmer rear lights. Chrome trim below the grille and on the lower edge of the front spoiler, as well as around the side window frames and belt line, add a touch of class, while Sonata Active rolls on a five-spoke wheel design.

The new Sonata Active has seen a boost in equipment levels, with new three-spoke steering wheel, dual zone climate control air-con with automatic defogging, smart key and push-button start, plus a hands-free opening boot. Switches and buttons for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning controls have been given a gloss black ‘piano key’ finish and the centre console’s vertical component has been improved with lower switches closer to hand.

Middle of the road is the phrase that springs to mind about the performance of the Sonata Active. There’s not a lot, apart from added assertive looks, to get excited about with the upgraded model. A calm, largely noise-free cabin, is the result of extensive sound deadening material in the dashboard, sound absorption materials under the floor pan, and a new underbody tray, which helps reduce unwanted road row and aerodynamically helps on saving petrol, the latter clocked at 11.8 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 5.4 on the open road.
